Product Insights
Bleuforêt’s Black Classic Tights 80 Denier - Opaque are a 32 CAD in-stock synthetic opaque tight rated 4.3 from 14 reviews, built on a 93% polyamide/7% elastane, 400-needle knit versus the 300-needle norm and made since 2017 in a purpose-built Vosges workshop, with a topical argan-oil finish that gives a soft velvety hand, matte deep black with no shine, and a contoured 7% elastane fit that follows the leg taper and holds its line without sagging; the core promise is a comfortable, pressure-light hold that buyers forget after hours, with a flat elastic comfort band, true-to-size sizing across S/M, M/L and L/XL mapped from French sizes 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4 and all at the same 32 CAD with all sizes in stock so leg size alone decides the pick, and the 2/3 photographed as fit benchmark; the main tradeoff is that this is not a shaping or graduated-compression tight—7% elastane is below the 80-denier norm and gives only a soft even hold, no gripping or pinching, and the waistband is not a control top—while 80 denier is opaque but not fully opaque like 125D, warmth insulates on cold days yet runs warm in a heated office, and durability is the weak point: buyers report heel holes, pilling and nail snags from boots despite the 400-needle knit, the flat not seamless toe seam can show a faint line in open-toe shoes and is a stress point that tore on one petite 105 lb buyer’s fourth wear, so reinforcing the heel zone, avoiding rough shoe interiors, washing cool and gentle in a mesh bag, and accepting a soft non-compressive hold are the conditions for prolonging the argan softness.
Verified claims
- Opacity
- Fully opaque: 80 denier sits well above the 40-denier threshold where hosiery starts reading opaque, and delivers solid black coverage from waist to toe without becoming the densest 125D winter weight.
- Warmth
- Insulates on cold days but runs warm in a heated office.
- Softness
- Argan oil is applied as a topical finishing treatment to the finished knit, not compounded into the polyamide, so the soft velvety hand is a surface finish that can fade with washing rather than a permanent fiber property.
- Fit
- The contoured 7% elastane knit follows the leg's taper and holds its line without sagging.
- Comfort
- Buyers report forgetting they have them on after hours.
- Compression
- A light, even hold at just 7% elastane, not graduated compression.
- Hold
- 7% elastane gives a soft hold that never grips or pinches the leg.
- Waistband
- Elastic comfort waistband with no control-top or shaping panel; across the 14 reviews there are no recurring complaints of rolling, digging in, or sagging, so it holds well for everyday wear but is not a high-compression shaper.
- Washability
- The soft finish survives several gentle machine washes; wash cool and gentle to prolong it.
- Abrasion resistance
- Buyers report heel holes from boots and nail snags despite the 400-needle knit.
- Matte finish
- The argan-treated knit reads matte deep black with no shine.
- Knit density
- 93% polyamide, 7% elastane knitted on 400 needles versus the 300-needle industry norm.
- Manufacturing lineage
- Made in France in a purpose-built Vosges workshop on 400-needle machines, where Bleuforêt has knitted these synthetic opaque tights since 2017.
- Stretch
- 7% elastane is below the 80-denier norm, so the hold is soft and pressure-light, not shaping.
- Footwear friction
- Buyers report heel holes and pilling where boots rub after a single long wear.
- Toe seam
- The toe seam ripped after four wears on a petite 105 lb buyer.
- Prevention
- Reinforce the heel zone and avoid rough shoe interiors to extend their life.
- Sizing
- Sizes 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4 map to S/M, M/L and L/XL; most buyers find them true to size.
- Photography
- Listing photos are shot on the middle size 2/3, making it the visual benchmark for fit.
- Size pricing
- All three French sizes are the same 32 CAD, so the choice comes down to leg size alone.
- Washing care
- Cold gentle washing in a mesh bag prolongs the argan softness
- Toe construction
- Flat toe seam, not seamless, so a faint line shows through open-toe shoes.
- Size availability
- All three sizes are in stock, so fit alone decides the pick

Everyday all-day comfort under flats or smooth-lined shoes
Reviewers report wearing these 80-denier opaque black tights for light daily wear, saying the soft fabric feels barely noticeable and stays put without sagging even after hours. One reviews analysis cautions that the fabric can snag on rough nails or calluses, so smoothing nails first may help avoid runs.[1]
Boot days: a reported weak spot
Per an analysis of customer reviews, these 80-denier opaque tights can develop holes and pilling at the heel from friction with boots or rough shoe interiors — in one reported case after a single 6-hour wear with ankle boots. The analysis suggests smooth-lined footwear or reinforcement if boots are part of your plans, and some wearers judged them unsuitable for boot pairings.[1]
An opaque 80-denier look without the bulk
A pick for shoppers who want the classic 80-denier opaque look in black — per a review analysis, many customers find these tights opaque enough with a smooth finish and no bulk. The same analysis notes they're best suited to light coverage rather than deep winter needs, and some reviewers found them thinner than expected, especially between sizes.[1]
Machine washing on gentle cycle
These Bleuforêt opaque tights can be cared for in the machine on a gentle cycle. A reported customer experience describes them coming out looking beautiful after several washes, and they were said to resist pilling in the wash for wearers who don't experience friction damage.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Black Classic Tights 80 Denier - Opaque: Choose this if you want soft, opaque everyday tights in black — reviewers report the argan-oil-treated 80 denier fabric is comfortable enough to forget you're wearing them, staying put all day without sagging, and one reviewer says they held up well through several gentle machine washes. They come in sizes 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4, though some reviewers found them thinner and less dense than expected, so the analysis suggests they suit light coverage rather than deep winter needs. Note that friction from boots or rough shoe interiors reportedly caused heel holes and pilling after as little as one 6-hour wear, making them a pick for flats or smooth-lined footwear, and rough nails or calluses can snag the fabric.[1] | Matte Pantyhose 18 Denier - Ultra-Fine: Choose this if you want an ultra-fine, sheer 18-denier pantyhose with a matte finish that the brand and retailers position as a chic, polished option. It offers a control top with a wide matte waistband, flat seams, reinforced toes, and argan oil softening in a polyamide and LYCRA elastane blend, made in France. Note that the panty and gusset panel is noticeably more opaque than the sheer legs, with a visible transition band at the upper thigh.[2,3,4,5] | Swiss Dot Pantyhose 30 Denier - Semi-Transparent: Choose this if you want a semi-transparent, 30 denier pantyhose with a delicate swiss dot pattern rather than a plain or fully opaque style. It is made of soft, stretchy 3D microfibre softened with argan oil (described by the brand as unparalleled softness), with a stretch waistband, gusset, seamless brief finish, flat seams, and reinforced toes. Note it is offered in black only, in small-medium, medium-large, and large-XL sizes, so it may not suit shoppers seeking other colors or a control-top design.[6,7,8,9] |

Comfortable.
These are very comfortable and soft on the legs. I almost forgot I am wearing them. They feel durable as long as you're nails are filed. I will be more so I'm not only using one over and over. I can't remember the other colors but if there is not a tan choice please get one!!

Très mauvais
J'ai porté ce collant une fois, environ 6 heures, pour aller travailler (j'enseigne). Je portais des bottines. Le lendemain, quand j'ai voulu le remettre, je me suis aperçue qu'il y avait un petit trou au talon et qu'il boulochait à la hauteur de la fin de la tige de ma bottine!!! Je n'en reviens pas! Un collant porter-jeter à 30$!!!!! Vraiment dommage, car j'adore le fini du collant, doux, bien noir et velouté, sans luisant. Vraiment Bleu Forêt me déçoit énormément, car j'ai déjà deux Bleu Forêt depuis des années et ils sont encore presque parfait, sans trous, sans bouloches. Je n'en rachèterai plus jamais.
