Opaque tights offer more coverage and warmth than sheer styles — making them great for chillier days or office settings. Keep in mind that the denier listed for a pair of tight means its thickness, or level of transparency. Denier ranges from five to 100; any tights that are over 50 are considered opaque.

As when shopping for any style of quality tights, look for pairs that are reinforced at the feet to prevent tearing and made with moisture-wicking fabrics to help keep you cool and comfortable. You may also want opt for styles with a control top for extra midsection support.
