Top 10 Control Top Tights

THE STYLE
These Nordstrom tights will hold you in and flatter your shape while improving circulation. They're made of a 29-denier knit, which means they're semi-sheer and should hold up to a few seasons of wear.

EXTRA INFO
Some reviewers mention that these tights run small. Considering their compressive nature, we'd suggest sizing up to avoid rips.

THE STYLE
With an elasticized control-top waistband made from semi-opaque nylon, these Old Navy tights are worth stocking up on—pun not intended. Pick them up in both colors (black and gray), and you'll have your basics covered.

REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"I love these tights. I should have bought an extra pair as I managed to snag them during Christmas dinner, but this is my third pair and I'll always keep buying as they secure my mommy pouch and shape well."

THE STYLE
The Shaper Tights from Shapermint Essentials are made from a snag- and tear-resistant fabric blend. Sure enough, reviewers say they stand up to that claim. Here's an excerpt from one Nordstrom shopper's review: "They are sheer enough to look great but tough enough to not snag."

EXTRA INFO
Shapermint offers a 60-day risk-free warranty. If you order the wrong size, you can easily swap them out for a new pair within 60 days of your original purchase for free.

THE STYLE

REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"I am 70 years old and I discovered these wonderful stockings that look very natural like the hose I wore in the '70s. I couldn’t believe it; they’re not thick, and they look very natural. My legs look fabulous. I'm so happy I discovered these, and I will buy again and again."

THE STYLE

EXTRA INFO

REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"Perfect stylish tights for any occasion. The red was gorgeous and the brown turned out to be my second favorite. They are the perfect amount of sheer—definitely not for super cold temperatures, but I wore knee-high boots and a long jacket and was fine walking around in low 40 degrees. Tight around the waist where I want it to be, but not too tight around my toes. Super happy with them!"

These are the #1 best-selling tights on Amazon. That makes it difficult to argue with their credibility, but we'll still give you the scoop. They have a mid-rise control top, "Smart Temp" technology that keeps you from getting too hot or cold, and a stay-in-place design to prevent any sagging or riding up.

REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"Baby, when I tell you these stockings are THE stockings...that is EXACTLY what I mean! In my experience, average stockings rolled down sometimes, were thin, and tore easily. These stockings are not your average stockings! They are warm, thick, and feel great around the waist area. They are also extremely pigmented. In other words, you do not see your skin color or underwear as easily as you would in average stockings."
