“If you’ve seen ads for Sheertex on Instagram and wondered, Is it really that good?, the answer is yes,” reports Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo. She attributes the “basically indestructible” nature of the tights to the brand’s use of materials typically reserved for ballistics and climbing equipment — specifically the polymer polyethylene. But you don’t just have to take her word for the quality of the tights: The brand secured our Best in Class ribbon for black tights, with other Sheertex evangelists praising the tights’ barely there feel, generous stretch, and comfortable, compressive waistband. Compared to Sheertex’s classic tights, this pair isn’t sheer around the gusset area, meaning it’ll provide some extra support, plus coverage for your underwear. And while Sheertex recently revived its End of Year sale, the tights are available at an even steeper markdown right now at Nordstrom.
