Fashion Math: Are Wolford Tights Worth Skipping The Drug Store Hosiery?

If you are like us, there are some weeks when you go through black opaque tights like chewing gum–they snag on a pair of boots or they fade easily and it’s all over. But Wolford is a 60-year-old Austrian brand that makes luxurious hosiery that last for several seasons. Wolford tights are best known for never snagging and always maintaining their luster. These Wolford Matte Opaque 80 Tights ($52) are pricey for hosiery, but once you own a pair, you may never go back to your drugstore standbys. Let’s do the Fashion Math and see why they are worth the investment:

If you put on these tights only once a week from October through March, one wear is less than your morning granola. And believe us, you will wear these tights over and over again for many seasons to come. Just imagine slipping on a pair of tights and not worrying about a snag or hole ruining your outfit. That relief alone is worth the money.
