Opaque Tights

Our women’s opaque tights are on hand to pull your outfits together and add polish to your look. Explore a variety of weights to select the warmth and coverage you need. 30-denier pairs are our lightest opaques, nearest to semi-sheer or sheer tights. At the other end of the spectrum, you’ll find 100-denier or 250-denier tights that offer reliable insulation and show none of your natural skin tone. Achieving the right fit is easy, as we have sizes from XS to XL, as well as plus-size opaque tights.

When you want a goes-with-everything hosiery solution, it has to be women’s black tights. Ours are deep coloured and come with matt or glossy finishes. Other versatile hues, including navy, brown and grey, are easy to coordinate and combine seamlessly with women’s flat-heel shoes and high-heel shoes in corresponding shades. To bring brightness to your look, go playful with ladies’ opaque tights in bold yellow, green or purple.

The tights from our shapewear collection do double duty by offering support as well as reliable coverage. When you slip shaping tights under women’s skirts or dresses, you can be sure of a smooth and sculpted finish. Looking for cosiness inside your women’s ankle boots? That’s where our thermal opaques come in. Light, medium and high warmth levels have you covered, whatever the weather. Choose a pair of naturally breathable cotton tights or opt for a touch of luxury with merino wool. Styles with fleece or faux fur linings are all about supersoftness.

Opaque Tights FAQs

What are opaque tights?

Opaque tights are made to provide full coverage and for a smooth look with no show-through. Our selection includes matt pairs that give a thick, cosy effect, as well as velvet finishes that create a softly textured feel. Alternatively, you can choose a high-gloss style for a refined and sheeny finish. Keep an eye out for pairs with embellished motifs that add playful detail.

What denier are opaque tights?

Opaque tights are typically 40 denier or above. That gives them a substantial feel to provide extra warmth when the weather turns chilly. They can also provide a gently supportive, sculpting effect for a flattering look under form-fitting outfits. Browse our selection to find pairs with our Body Sensor™ technology to help regulate your temperature.

What is the difference between sheer and opaque tights?

The main factor is usually the overall weight of the tights. Sheer tights come in a lighter denier of 20 and below, and give a silky, barely there finish. Opaque tights are often more velvety in texture, and provide effective coverage with little or no show-through. Because they’re made from a heavier yarn, opaque tights are particularly suitable for darker or bolder colourways.
