Best Tights for Winter: Opaque Coverage Guide
Winter dressing does not have to mean putting your skirts away. Opaque tights add a continuous line beneath a dress and work naturally with boots, coats and heavier fabrics.

80D, 120D or 200D?
Choose 80D for a classic opaque look that works across office and weekend outfits. The 120D gives a fuller finish; 200D is the thickest option in this edit when you want the most substantial coverage. Start with the level of coverage you enjoy, not a number chosen in isolation.
Denier is not a weather forecast. How warm you feel also depends on material, wind, the rest of your clothing and your own comfort. For colder outings, consider your layers and footwear as well as the tights, and check the size guidance for the particular pair.
Quick answer: Choose 80D for a classic opaque finish; move up to 200D for the thickest tights option in this selection.
