Tights Made for Repeat Wear
A ladder appearing halfway through the day can take the pleasure out of an otherwise lovely outfit. Choose a finish you enjoy wearing, check the fit, and treat your tights gently when you put them on and take them off.

Choose for repeat wear
Start with 20D if a light, semi-opaque look suits your clothes. Go to 40D for more visible colour, or 80D when you prefer opaque coverage. Denier helps describe the yarn, but it cannot tell you exactly how long any individual pair will last or make it ladder-proof.
Gather the leg before stepping in, then ease it up in sections instead of pulling from the waistband. Rings, rough nails and shoe interiors can catch hosiery, so check them before dressing. Follow the care instructions on your pair and keep a second finish in rotation for days when you want a different look.
Quick answer: Choose the denier for your desired look first. The right fit and careful handling matter for any hosiery.

Make the choice work harder
- Check the size guide before ordering; fit is part of a good hosiery choice.
- Match denier to the look: sheer is light, semi-opaque is everyday, opaque is fuller coverage.
- Keep a small rotation rather than using one delicate style for every occasion.

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.
