What the AI looks for in Women's Tights
- Denier
- 30 to 40 denier for semi-opaque; 50 denier and above for fully opaque; around 100 denier or fleece-lined for real cold Denier sets both coverage and warmth, and opaque tights are judged mostly on this.
- Waistband
- A wide, flat waistband that does not roll A rolling or digging waistband is the most common reason tights are uncomfortable.
- Size chart
- Size from the brand's height-and-weight chart; size up if you are between sizes or tall Undersized tights sag at the crotch and wear out faster.
- Fiber
- Nylon with elastane for stretch and recovery; microfiber for softness and matte color Elastane content determines whether tights bag at the knees over a day.
Brands that matter
- Hue: Reliable everyday opaque tights.
- Wolford: Premium opaque tights with long life.
- Spanx: Shaping tights.
- Falke: High-quality matte opaque tights.
- Sheertex: Rip-resistant tights, mainly sheer styles.
What to avoid
- Buying by dress size instead of the height-and-weight chart.
- Thin opaque tights expected to be warm in freezing weather; choose fleece-lined or high denier.
