Hanes Sheer Tights Review + Giveaway

***Giveaway Closed***


Tights have become all the rage. Last winter, I wore them nearly constantly. They look great, keep you warm, and hide the evidence of your (or my) general shaving laziness.


I was super stoked when Hanes offered to send me a selection of tights this fall. I received black, granite, and plum, and they are all awesome. They are a great combination of opaque and sheer. They have a wide, comfortable waist band and a very effective control top (which I am more grateful for now than ever).

I am trying to smize, can you tell?

{vintage fabric top - elsa bags - $32, skirt c/o eshatki, black sheer tights c/o hanes, steve madden boots - via TJ Maxx - $49}

And now I get to do one of my favorite things, offer all of you a giveaway! Hanes has kindly offered to give the winning reader a collection of Hanes Silk Reflections Sheer Tights - one pair in each color (black, gentle brown, granite, nude and plum) {a $50 value}.

You can enter in either (or both) of the 2 ways listed below. Each entry must be notified in the form of a comment on the blog.

  • Visit Hanes Hosiery & check out their tights, then leave a comment telling me what color is your favorite and what you would wear them with.
  • Post about the giveaway on your blog, Facebook, or Twitter (include @uberchiccheap and a link to the giveaway in your tweets) and leave a comment telling me about it.
Make sure to include your first name and a valid email address so I can contact you if you win. The winner will be determined by giving each entry a number and using random.org to select the winning number. (US Residents only.)

The Giveaway ends on Sunday, October 3, at 10 PM (Mountain Standard Time).

Good luck.

  5. I really like the silk reflections- the diagonal stripes would be really leg-lengthining- I would go for mocha! :) I really can't wait to wear my new boots, and the mocha color would be awesome to wear with them- they are a yummy brown color, so the similarity of the colors with a contrast would be just right I think! I would wear my pretty blue dress with it, and a brown belt!

    I really hope I win- I only have 1 pair of tights, and they are black! Thanks so much for such a lovely giveaway :)

  13. I am a plum girl. I would totally wear them with a nude or cream pencil skirt and a crazy bright blouse, maybe something with a bow tie-neck? I have a great pair of Mad Men-esque heels that I got from Target a few years back that would look killer.

  66. I am obsessed with tights that have that vintage inspired backseam which means I love the silk reflections classic 1940's. To keep with the vintage feel I would pair them with a gorgeous black dress that my grandma wore when she was my age!

  79. I would probably wear a pair each day (mostly the black, but I love the plum). I love skirts and dresses so much more than jeans. With so many options I'd probably just have to suffer through getting some new clothes to go with the tights!
