Denier refers to the density of the yarns used in tights ́ knitting operation. The higher the denier, the stronger the fabric.
- Denier is the measurement that tells you the thickness and opacity of a pair of tights — the lower the number on the scale, the thinner and more sheer they will be.
- Deniers under 20 are called sheer tights. Sheer tights are made from fine yarns, providing light coverage of the legs. Sheer tights are almost transparent, allowing you to maintain a natural look while hiding imperfections and evening out your skin tone.
- The world of opaque tights starts at 30 denier. As the word suggests, opaque tights offer thicker leg coverage, opaque tights offer good coverage to help keep your legs warm even when the days get colder.
