Austrian luxury brand Wolford offers this enticing tease, with an old-fashioned seam, soft diamond weave and secret bow detail. $62
Hue makes affordable, much produced in the U.S. Its wide color spectrum of opaque tights matches any outfit. These Leaf Net tights are luxuriously lacy, and make an outfit pop when layered over solid tights. Macy’s has a good selection. $18
