Guilty Pleasure: Wolford Tights

As a little girl, I had some bitter fights with my mother, who wanted me to wear tights with my dresses to church. I couldn’t stand the way the elastic cut into my waist and the suffocating feeling on my legs.

We all thought that I would eventually outgrow my powerful dislike of tights, but even at this advanced age, I still hate them with a passion. Except for Wolford Fatal 50 Tights.

This venerable old Austrian hosiery maker has tons of amazing styles, but I’m loyal to the Fatal 50 because they are opaque, seamless and buttery soft. That’s right, they are completely seamless. I don’t know how they do it, but it’s so comfortable.

The downside is that they cost roughly $50 depending on the exchange rate and I have only been able to find them at wolfordboutiquelondon.com, where the price is listed in English pounds. The upside is that if you invest in a pair, they will last you for a decade, which is long enough to see the opaque tights trend come and go and come back again.
