Tights FAQs

What does the denier of my tights mean?

A denier is a unit of measurement that tells you the weight and thickness of the yarn used to make your tights. A low denier of between one and 20 will give a sheer, barely there effect. Meanwhile, a denier of 20 to 40 provides a medium-weight style that’s ideal for everyday wear. For maximum coverage and full opacity, check out pairs with a denier of 40 or over.

When can I wear tights?

Tights are an ideal option with skirts and dresses if you prefer to have your legs covered. We have a selection of colourways to harmonise with your outfit and your skin tone. As the weather turns chillier, look out for thermal tights that help you stay snug in style. Once party season arrives, we’ve got an inspiring assortment of patterned, embellished and glittery pairs that are made for celebrating.

What is the difference between leggings and tights?

While tights are classed as lingerie, leggings are meant to be worn as outerwear. They’re made from much heavier materials that give effective coverage, and are cut in a footless design. Many pairs of leggings are designed specifically for exercise, with breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics that help you keep your cool as you train.
