I had a second grade teacher that wore tights. I was trying to figure out why her legs were darker than the rest of her skin. The days of being seven years old.
It's cold in Canada and I am a pragmatic man. So, 110 or more for me.
I consider those who goes out there with bare legs or anything resembling that to be lunatics.
TightsThe fabric is all but completely black and opaque. This level comes in handy for cold weather.At 30 denier or above, they are tights. Right around here seems to be the level that gets the most attention from the boys... (*pant pant*)Quite possibly heretical among some within the stockings/tights fandom, but oh well.The fabric continues to get darker and the transparency begins to vanish. Preferences tend to split at this point.Bare legs*lickety-lick*PantyhoseLegwear in the range of 15 denier or so is considered sheer ("pantyhose").
Above 30 denier, the legwear begins to be considered opaque ("tights").
What's your favorite denier?Considerably transparent. At this level, they are pantyhose.
