Taylor Swift's $99 Tights Are Elegant, Warm, and the *Only* Way to Avoid Runs, According to Fashion People

It's officially tights season, the time of year when every winter dress or skirt practically demands a layer of warmth—and just a wool coat isn't enough. The problem? A snag from a fingernail or even a cuticle can ruin your elegant outfit before you even walk away from the mirror. But this year, shoppers are getting smarter about what they wear—and the solution is the tights Taylor Swift recently wore.

For dinner at Chez Margaux, New York City's buzziest members-only club, Swift stepped out on a freezing night wearing a turtleneck bodysuit, a miniskirt, a short wool coat, heeled knee-high boots, and a pair of Sheertex tights. She chose the brand's Stardust style, a subtly shimmering, semi-opaque pair that can make any all-black outfit look fresh.

"I wear tights practically daily in the winter, layering them under jeans and trousers, as well as with skirts and dresses," senior fashion editor Eliza Huber shares. "The number of pairs I've ripped through with my nails or snagged and seen run immediately after putting them on for the first time would shock you. Truthfully, Sheertex tights are the only ones that don't tear. I've washed them in the washing machine even, and nothing."

Trust us: we love the elegant, barely-there look of classic sheer tights, but the truth is, in freezing weather, it's just not realistic. That's where Sheertex comes in as winter's best-kept style secret. Among editors, celebrities, and influencers alike, these high-tech tights let you stay warm and look chic. So wear your LBD or hot pants without sacrificing style this winter.
