If you are like me, you may wander around the tight section of a shop, wondering what the difference is between the deniers and what on earth the term ‘denier’ means? Although us women see this term quite regularly, many of us are still uncertain what it relates to. This article finally resolves this tights mystery that has been baffling many women for years.
For years many of us have probably shopping for tights, without a clue what we were buying. Tights are not as I thought simply all the same, just different colours and sizes; they are in fact categorized by the weight or thickness of the material – the denier. The denier is the weight of the material that tights are woven out of, so when you come across a denier rating it will be telling you the weight of the product. A low denier is likely to tell you not only the weight is less than other deniers, but it is more fragile and likely to break, as well as have a sheerer look to it. Each denier has its own purpose and comes useful in particular conditions and circumstances.
The lowest categorization of tight denier is the under 10 denier category. Known as Ultra Sheer, this under 10 denier offers a barely there look, allowing for a bare leg look whilst covering up any blemishes or leg hair. Best for the spring and summer months, these tights keep your legs cool without you having to bare them. Typically found in skin tone colours, it is best for those who want the bare leg look without having to bare skin.
If you want a thin tight with a few more options style, finish and colour wise, but still want to keep that sheer look, a denier between the ranges of 10-20 is perfect for your needs. This range often comes in a wider variety, from more natural matt skin colours to sheer blacks. It is also better for everyday use, meaning you have to replace your tights far less.
A denier between 21 and 40, will get you semi-opaque tights that are not sheer but still show through your leg. Being far thicker, they are better for mild conditions and can be found in an even wider range of colours. Fully opaque tights (up to denier 69) are different to semi-opaque as they barely show through any leg, giving a more intense colour to your tights. They offer more warmth too, making them a snug fit in winter.
At the other end of the market, you have the higher deniers (70-99 and 100+), which are ideal for the chilly winter months. At the top end of denier, the tights are more like wool tights, enabling you to keep your legs completely warm – even this winter! They give a completely different look to lower deniers as the skin upon your leg is not visible at all, giving a ‘block of solid colour’ effect, which is a very trendy look at the moment. Bright higher denier tights are a particular striking style in the colder Autumn and winter months, as they give a bit a vibrancy to those dreary looking days. Like all tights, they still cling beautifully to your leg, enhancing the muscle and curves perfectly, enabling you to show your legs off even on the coldest of days.
