    5ain5bury's do 100 denier black opaques. Bought some yesterday - haven't worn them yet, but the 60 denier ones I have had this season have had a comfortable waist band and toes and have stayed in place for the day without contorting themselves like some tights do! They wash well too - keep their shape and smoothness.

    Boots black opaque tights are the best I've found. I hate M&S ones, cos they just fall down.

    I think it depends on your body shape.

    What brand might suit someone who is tall with slim hips may not be comfortable for someone who is 'more rotund'.

    I buy my tights from anywhere I see them - I like bright colours so it could be Primark (although usually only in the larger stores), Debenhams, TKMaxx, Next etc.

    Primark actually do a bewildering range of different high denier black tights.

    I now more often ware black leggings and black socks. Won't work with all outfits, but does with many, and I find it more comfortable.

    I like the high denier footless tights, especially with UGG boots (as I don't wear socks).

    Don’t do Asda, they sag between your legs (sorry if TMI) and are horribly uncomfortable. I vote m&s too!
