One of the must-have items for any stylish woman's wardrobe is a pair of opaque black tights (thank you for that bit of advice, Nina Garcia!). They will serve you well in a million different occasions, helping you to get away with skirts that are a little shorter than you'd normally wear, and, if you go with something textured, like these, you'll add some interest to your outfit, too.

Plus, these happen to be ASSETS, which means they'll provide some smoothing and slimming action around your tummy and thighs. Not that any of us need that, of course, but just in case you happen to fall into one of the office donuts in the morning, you're covered.

These particular tights are available at Target for just $14, which we think is a steal. And while you're there, be sure to check out the different colors and versions -- they're a great way to add some subtle texture to your look!
