I'm a bartender that has to wear shorts to work even during the winter so Sweater Tights have become my new favorite clothing item. These tights were soft, comfortable and stylish. However, I do want to note that they seem to be more dominantly black in the picture but once they arrived they are mostly shades of grey. I'm kinda short but I still like the longer tights so even those these are a bit longer then necessary they still fit great and I appreciate a little extra room. I wash them in the washer with all my other clothes and dry them in the dryer...they still hold up and look great after many weeks of wash and wear.
