Where can I buy black, thin, cotton tights?
Cotton tights are easy to find all over the place, but most of them are the thick, bulky, sweater-y ones which I don't want. I used to buy a kind called "light cotton" or "thin cotton" by Secret from Zellers which I can't find anymore. They were mostly cotton, nearly opaque, super comfortable and thin - they looked like nylons pretty much. Can I get tights like that anywhere else? I live in Canada (Vancouver) but I'm willing to order online.

Joe Fresh. They're like $15 a pair but they last nearly forever, actually forever if you handwash

Sock Dreams should have something.
These look like they may work. I'm not sure if it's going to black, but you can use the pull-down menu to see colors.

I second hue, I have some really nice ones from there with stirrups that are both breezy and opaque, I got them at the bay.
american apparel also is a good choice for tights general.. they're a little bit expensive, but a good product.
also, depending on how the Winners near you are for quality, some of my best tights (and clothes in general actually) are from there.

Response by poster: So apparently tights are a winter thing even in coldish Vancouver because a lot of places didn't have many at all. However, I got the microfiber tights from American Apparel which are rayon rather than cotton but they're perfect and just as comfortable. $25 for tights is a little much so I hope I don't rip them!
