The best black tights that don't rip - these are the 6 pairs we swear by

• Black tights are a cold-weather staple, and brands like Spanx, Commando, and DKNY make some of our favorite durable pairs.
• Whether you're looking for tights with smoothing control tops or pairs to wear while pregnant, you'll find what you're looking for in this list.

Tights are a closet staple that will never go out of fashion, whether you wear them for work, formal occasions, or general fall and winter weather.

This versatile piece of hosiery does tend to be delicate, though. Even when you take care not to snag them on your surroundings, they often still find a way to rip, rendering them unwearable.

I've gotten tired of throwing out tights that rip with impressive ease, which is why I asked the women of Insider Picks about the styles and brands that they know can hold up to regular wear. These are the tights you can trust not to tear right before you need them the most. They're also comfortable, supportive, and usually available in different colors.

Though you might think you have to pay $30 to $40 for a quality pair of tights, we also wear and swear by under $20 options.

Here are our favorite tights that never rip:
