Taylor Swift’s Go-To Tights Have Been My Rip-Resistant Favorite for Years — and They’re Up to 70% Off

For the longest time, leggings were a disposable item in my wardrobe. I’d pick up a cheap pair before I put them on and then immediately rip, snag or give them a run after the first wear. What a pity.

Fortunately, it’s been two years since I’ve had that problem. When I first heard about Sheertex, the manufacturer of almost indestructible tights, my ears perked up. I bought my first pair — classic tear-resistant sheer leggings that are now on sale — and it was love at first sight. There was no tearing, snagging or jerking, and I still use the same pair today.

The brand has established itself as a major player in the field of functional fashion. Sheertex leggings have even become a part of Taylor Swift’s wardrobe, who has been seen in them several times this winter alone.

According to the brand, Sheertex’s patented technology uses one of the world’s strongest polymers in its fabric, giving its tights unmatched elasticity, strength and resilience. I can attest to this durability; I’ve worn my now four pairs countless times, easily stretching them over my feet, thighs and hips using long nails and rings. They did not tear once.

I’ve also found that many of my pairs run true to size, which is no small feat when it comes to leggings. I’m 5ft 9in and usually wear a Large in bottoms, although I’ve always sized up for leggings as they were usually too loose or sensitive to roll up my legs. Not with Sheertex — the big leggings fit comfortably over my legs and never feel too tight when on.

Most importantly, they can also wash leggings. I use cold water, mild detergent and a laundry bag to wash them on the gentle cycle. Then I hang or lay them out to air dry, which usually takes a few hours.

Along with the brand’s Classic Sheer, I have the Control Top Sheer Tights, which provide light compression security when I want to look a little “smoother” under certain skirts and dresses. And they just so happen to be 70 percent off right now.

I also picked up some bolder styles, including the adorable Mini Dot Super Sheer and Moderne Diamond Sheer Tights which were also worn by Taylor Swift, although they’re currently sold out online.

Bottom Line: If you’re sick of buying, ripping, and buying endless pairs of skinny tights, invest in a trusty pair of Sheertex. The brand’s classic tear-resistant sheer leggings are an essential part of my fall, winter and spring wardrobe, but there are so many other pairs to peruse.
