"  Last winter Duchess Kate Middleton created quite a frenzy when she showed up in sheer pantyhose. At the time no one could predict whether or not this trend would last but hose and tights of all kinds seem to be going strong this fall. What was once seen as old fashioned, pantyhose, is now seen as a way to add sophistication to an outfit or hide unsightly blemishes. Tights are also showing more panache, even sporting lacy patterns and celebrities have been spotted in tights printed with trompe l&amp;#039;oeil garters. While I&amp;#039;m not quite sure I&amp;#039;ll ever bring myself to wear trompe l&amp;#039;oeil garters, I might give lace a try one day. For now I&amp;#039;m sticking with my sheers and opaque tights. Here are a few of my favorite finds over the last few years. 1. L&amp;#039;eggs Profiles Opaque tights did so well in our testing, I thought I would try the sheers. L&amp;#039;eggs Sheer Energy Waistband Free ($14.50/4-pack) hosiery are very reasonably priced and sold at drug and groceries stores so it&amp;#039;s easy to run out and grab a pair on the fly. They don&amp;#039;t have a thick waistband like most tights and while their control top offers light shaping, it&amp;#039;s not constricting. One word of caution: Be very delicate with them as they tend to rip easily. onehanesplace.com 2. If you&amp;#039;re willing to splurge big on a pair of tights you might want to try Wolford Velvet Deluxe ($42). Our wear testers loved their soft, luxurious feel, the way they look on the leg, and that the waistband doesn&amp;#039;t roll. But you will need to handle them with care: These beauties tend to snag. Wolfordshop.com 3. Spanx Haute Contour Tights ($42). I have problems with most brands because the bands dig into my waist, creating the dreaded &amp;quot;muffin top&amp;quot;. With its wide belly bandeau, Haute Contour tights give a smooth silhouette. Want to know which tights did best in our tests?
