Denier Guide

Now you've figured out how to pronounce the word denier, so what's it all about? What's the difference and how should you wear it?

*

Ultra-Sheer (less than 10 denier): these stockings will offer you the appearance of bare legs but you'll get the benefit of a little coverage. Be very careful when putting on ultra-sheer stockings, as they are very delicate.
*

Sheer (10-20 denier): these stockings are stronger than the ultra-sheer and are perfect for both everyday and evening wear.
*

Semi-opaque (25-35 denier): these will be even stronger than the sheer and will last longer, while still elegant looking.
*

Opaque (40 denier plus): these durable and long-lasting stockings are practical for all day wear and offer the benefit of added warmth in winter.
