How to Choose Tights: A No-Fuss Buying Guide
A good pair starts with the outfit you have in mind. Decide how much leg you want visible, then use denier and the individual size guide to narrow the choice.

Four decisions before you order
First, choose your finish: sheer for a lighter look, semi-opaque for more visible colour, or opaque for fuller coverage. Next, compare deniers within that finish: 15D is sheer, 40D semi-opaque and 120D opaque in this edit. Fishnet is a separate texture choice, not simply another level of opacity.
Third, check the product's size chart against your measurements; a comfortable fit matters when you sit and move as well as when you stand. Finally, consider the day itself. Lighter coverage may suit an occasion outfit, while opaque tights can work with boots and colder-weather layers. Choose the pair you will actually want to wear.
Quick answer: Start at 40D for a versatile everyday pair, then build out from there.

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.
