Best Plus-Size Tights: 30D or 60D?
A great fit and the finish you love belong together. The plus-size range gives you a clear choice between a softer 30D semi-opaque look and 60D opaque coverage.

30D versus 60D: start with your outfit
Pick 30D when you want some translucency under a dress or skirt. Pick 60D when you prefer a more covered, opaque look, particularly with boots or heavier fabrics. Neither denier defines the fit by itself; it describes the yarn and gives a guide to the visual finish.
Before you choose a size, use the chart on the specific plus-size product and compare it with your measurements. If you are considering a regular-range alternative, check its own chart separately rather than assuming the same size label means the same fit. Comfort around the waist and a leg length that sits without constant adjustment matter throughout the day.
Quick answer: Choose 30D for a lighter finish and 60D for more opaque coverage.
