Tights that won't attract (as much) cat hair?

I love wearing tights, but the ones I just bought are a magnet for cat hair. Have you found any that aren't? Does the amount of polyester in the mix make a difference?

I'm a big fan of Uniqlo's tights, and I've never had a problem with cat hair from our 3 cats.

I can't answer as to the fabric having an effect.

More cotton content should reduce static, but really Static Guard is your friend here.

You can get anti static spray which is designed for static cling but which can help a lot with attracting cat hair. I've found most of the hair seems to be attracted by static, at least in my case.

I used to have a mega-shedding dog. I would make getting dressed the last thing I did before I left, and I'd change when I got home. I pretty much had house clothes and nice clothes. It wasn't so much the tights, it was everything!

Also I keep my tights rolled up in plastic bags which helps keep random bits of animal fluff from getting in.
