Personally, I love opaque tights. They hide a multitude of sins and darker colors are slimming. As for being out of style...well here in the Big Apple, lots of ladies wear mostly black tights to the office. (That’s as close as we get to the Goth look.)
Thanks for the reply... actually, I'm glad to hear opaque tights are still in style (back in style?) in the Big Apple and elsewhere. You are far more fashionable than I am, FRiend... I'll take your word for it. :o)
I admit I do like the slimming effect and "sin-covering" attributes of the opaques.
