As the cold days continue and our love of mini skirts only grows, it's time to turn to tights to ease the difficulties of autumn and winter dressing. However, is it just us, or are 'the perfect tights' near-impossible to find? From saggy crotches (we're sorry, but it's true), to snags abundant, hosiery is a tricky thing to get right.
Thankfully, we've collated the ELLE UK team's personal favourites: be it a high-street pair from M&S for the long-legged, or a sheer Prada pair for the luxury-minded, here are the 9 best tights according to, well, us.
'Not only does The Pantry Underwear stock the most delightful underwear, it's got your winter tights from Swedish Stockings sorted as well. The best bit? They're eco-friendly. Yep, we're talking about recycled tights here people, but not in a gross way. Using nilit® ecocare recycled yarn, these super comfy tights care for your tummy (no angry red marks here) and the planet. I'll be stocking up on the sheer black polka dot pair to wear with chunky loafers and a mini skirt.' - George Driver, Senior Digital Beauty Editor

Calzedonia 80-Denier Super Opaque Total Shaper Tights
'I'm a huge fan of high denier tights that are durable, seamless and go with everything, from styling up a leather skirt or adding some much-needed warmth to a trans-seasonal dress. These opaque tights from Calzedonia are my go-to design in winter (the thick waistband also adds some much-needed support after a heavy meal!)' - Katie O'Malley, Deputy Digital Editor
