What are opaque tights?

As the name implies, opaque tights are tights that are not sheer. Unlike sheer tights which are thin, opaque tights provide full coverage look that is not see-through. Thick tights range in how tight their weave is. For a more semi-opaque appearance, explore tights with a denier around 40. Whereas tights with a denier over 50 will provide a full blackout look.

When to wear opaque tights

Opaque tights are preferred to sheer tights in the colder seasons, thanks to their thickness. The dense weave will help keep out the wind and winter chill. For added warmth, quality materials such as cashmere are used to make tights that are ultra-light and ultra-soft. In warmer months, sheer tights are preferable to opaque tights for their ability to let your skin breathe.
