Durable Sheer Tights: Light Coverage, Clear Choice
Sheer tights give a dress or skirt a finished look without hiding the leg. The difference between a whisper of coverage and a little more visible colour comes down to the denier and finish you choose.
Shop the edit
How sheer do you want to go?
Choose 5D for the lightest look in this edit. The 12D and 15D sheer styles add a little more presence, while 20D steps into semi-opaque territory. The effect can change with colour, lighting and how the fabric sits on your leg, so use the product images as a guide rather than an exact shade match.
Fine hosiery deserves a moment of care. Check your measurements against the individual size guide, gather each leg before putting it on and watch for jewellery or rough edges. Lower denier describes a finer yarn, not a guarantee about how a particular pair will wear.
Quick answer: Choose 12D or 15D when you want a classic sheer finish; step to 20D when you prefer a touch more coverage.

Which tights are best for everyday wear?
For many wardrobes, a semi-opaque 40D pair is a useful everyday starting point. Choose a lighter denier for a sheerer effect or a higher denier for more coverage.
Which denier should I choose?
Choose 5D–15D for sheer coverage, 20D–40D for semi-opaque coverage, and 60D and above for opaque styles. Read the product page and size guidance before ordering.
Do you have plus-size tights?
Yes. The range includes 30D semi-opaque and 60D opaque plus-size styles. Visit the product page for the available options and size guidance.
What is the difference between 20D, 40D and 80D?
20D has a lighter semi-opaque appearance, 40D gives more everyday coverage, and 80D creates an opaque finish.
