How to style tights?

Try adding fishnet tights under your favourite midi dress with chunky boots for a fashion forward feel, or making a special occasion outfit even fancier with seamed nylons or the ultimate party girl’s tights: sparkly hosiery. For the ultimate party look, combine flirty fishnet tights with dazzling sparkles thanks to the Miss Naughty Rhinestone Fishnet Tights. These crotchless tights are an all over fishnet denier detailed with sparkly diamante's for a glamourous look! You can also easily make your summer wardrobe wearable for longer by adding opaque tights. Want more ideas? Our hosiery experts have put together a handy guide on how to wear and style tights.

What does denier mean in tights?

Technically, the hosiery denier indicates the weight of the yarn, but in practical terms it gives you a good idea of the sheerness or opacity. As a general rule, women’s tights will look sheer at 20 denier or below, semi sheer at 30-40 denier, and opaque at 50 denier and above. If you'd like to let your natural skin tone shine through, we would recommend our collection of sheer tights which are perfect for wearing all year round and especially for special occassions where you want to cover up any imperfections and achieve that sought after flawless skin look. A firm favourite for many of The Tight Spot customers is the Satin Touch Wolford Tights which are 20 denier therefore are lightweight yet offer a stunning airbrushed look on the legs with a hint of shine to give everyone leg envy! Alternatively, if you are seeking more coverage on the legs to keep them warmer in the cooler months or want to show off a bold colour with your outfits, opt for a higher denier of opaque tights. Opaque tights are a great option for workwear thanks to their timeless look and comfortable fit! One of our favourite opaque nylons is the Cecilia de Rafael Chacal 50 Tights, which are available in 11 different colours, ideal for transforming your outfits without breaking the bank. 

What denier of tights do you need?

That depends on the look you’re going for, and the season! We’d recommend 10 denier (or below) tights for women who want a very natural look. 30-40 denier hosiery adds a touch of warmth in autumn or early spring yet still offer a natural finish if you’re opting for nude tights, while 100+ denier women’s tights are excellent for winter.
