The matte-black leg, as it’s called in fashion-land, shows no signs of going away. This means that opaque tights are, for the foreseeable future, a fashion staple akin to dark denim and ballet flats. So while it might seem absurd to spend $50 on one item that can be ruined by an errant boot buckle, Wolford’s tights are more akin to leggings than to fragile hose. The Velvet de Luxe ($42) has a subtle sheen; the Mat Opaque 80 ($52) is completely solid. Cashmere silk tights ($235) keep legs toasty even in the shortest skirt. And no matter how many times you wear them, they simply do not rip or run, making it possible to get through a year on just a few pairs.

Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
