Finding the right pair of tights – perfectly stretchy, opaque and comfortable at the waist and seams, not to mention a spot-on length – is an eternal search. Once we find the styles and brands we love, we buy them on repeat and wear them out.
We asked our buyers for some tips on the styles they’ve stocked for each activity and these are their top picks.

Lorna Jane – New Amy ⅞ Tights
Ideal in the gym, Lorna Jane’s new Amy tights are crafted from the brand’s signature four-way stretch performance fabric that’s designed to wick moisture and keep you cool. The quick-drying fabric means they’re comfortable for a post-session coffee and will wash and dry in rapid time, ready for your next workout. Use the internal drawcord to get a snug fit, ready to keep your waistband high and your squats low.
