The Ultimate Dance Wardrobe Staple: Opaque, Durable & Versatile
Gaynor Minden’s entire line is hands down the best for fabric quality and durability—it’s not even up for debate. These Gaynor Minden Sweater Tights are way more opaque than standard black tights, making them perfect for a modest leotard look without a skirt. They are so incredibly soft against the skin, they feel almost like a second skin. They hold legwarmers firmly in place, work year-round, and the price is much better than comparable opaque options or leggings. I’ve washed and worn my Medium pair weekly for months with zero snags, unlike other brands that ruin in weeks.
For comparison, I also own their Modern Mesh Convertible Tights (in pink, very comparable quality but traditional sheerness) and their V-Waisted Black Ankle Tights—both share that same elite softness and durability with absolutely no snags.
Sizing (Ref: 5'2", 120lbs, 26" waist, 36" hips): The Medium fits great, but I sized up to a Large in the sweater tights for more waist-rolling availability and extra length to wear over the heel to elongate the leg or bunch at the ankle.
Highly recommend them and Allegro Dance Boutique - they are incredibly reliable, ship super quickly, and always seem to have an awesome promotion running. Both the product and the store are 10/10!
