Picking the right pair of pantyhose is a personal thing. Whether you prefer them with a denier of 100, sheer or anything in between, there’s no denying these fashion essentials earn a top spot in your undergarment drawer. Not only do they offer the perfect solution for when you don’t want to go bare-legged with your favourite dress or skirt, but some offer incredible, comfortable shape support.

So what defines the perfect pantyhose? If you ask me, it’s all about wear and durability. With that said, I didn’t always have such a sweet, trusting relationship with hosiery until I came across the ones from H&M. Believe it or not, unlike the countless pairs I had worn in the past that offered only one wear before ripping, these super affordable tights have lasted me nearly three years without tears or snags. Even as a pet parent to a little dog, I never have to worry about them running thanks to its incredibly durable polyamide and elastic make.
H&M+ Support Tights 40 Denier
Shop it: H&M, 18
My go-to pair are the H&M+ Support Tights 40 Denier ($18). These semi-opaque tights comfortably offer a bit of compression that help support the tummy, thighs, and calves while promoting blood circulation in the legs. Not fully opaque and not too sheer, they offer a 40 denier, solid black, semi-shine finish that wears well with casual wear to evening attire.
In case you’re looking for another pair that best fits your lifestyle and wardrobe, H&M and other retailers like Amazon, Nordstrom and many more carry a wide range of long-last pantyhose that fans are loving.
