How Do Tights Differ?
Tights differ mainly in transparency, color, appearance, pattern, and function. Transparency is measured in DEN: the higher the DEN value, the more opaque the tights are. Very sheer styles up to around 20 DEN are especially well suited for polished, understated, and elegant looks. Between 20 and 50 DEN, tights look suitable for everyday wear and elegant, while opaque styles starting at around 60 DEN give the outfit more definition and can feel pleasantly warm when extra warmth is needed.
Matte tights look understated, polished, and professional. They’re therefore a great fit for everyday wear, the office, and elegant outfits. Shiny styles draw more attention to the leg and give the look a more festive or glamorous touch. Patterns, mesh effects, or subtle textures can add extra fashion accents. In addition, features like shaping or compression can support both comfort and the silhouette.
