100 Denier Tights

If you are looking for extra thick tights, 100 denier tights are the way to do. But lets look at what the term"denier" means in the first place. A denier is a rating given to cloth or textiles. It is essentially a measure of how thick it is. A denier rating of 100 is the highest given, but there are many types of tights on the market between 30 and 100. As a standard measurement, a single denier is equivalent to a single strand of silk.

100 denier tights are the best tights if you are seeking the thickest coverage possible when wearing tights. The range of products that are labeled with their denier rating ranges from three to a hundred. The lower the denier count, the more opaque the tights are. It should be noted that "Tights" are the British term for pantyhose. So the two are interchangeable.

Sheer tights are usually those with a denier of three to fifteen.

These types of tights are just the thing if you want an extra smoothing effect for your legs. Even at this low of a rating, they are effective in masking marks and blemishes. Once the tights reach a rating of about thirty, they begin to take on a semi-opaque look. If you are getting them for purely practical reasons however, 100 denier tights are the way to go. Fully functional, their thickness keeps you warm while still retaining the fashionable hallmarks of pantyhose. The high weave count that denier tights have are almost always used during colder weather.

They are just the thing when wearing dresses and skirts and allow you to remain as fashion forward as you want to be regardless of the season. Due to the fashionable nature of tights, they are offered for sale in a variety of forms, colors and designs.

For this reason, most of the 100 denier tights sold happen colored in darker hues. Those willing to step into the wild side have no fear.
