The opaque tights for a cold walk to the bus stop

These are 80 denier opaque tights in a solid color, made from 85% polyamide and 15% elastane. The listing describes the microfiber yarn as super soft and the thickness as medium, which suits the days between summer and proper winter.

The fabric is 85% polyamide and 15% elastane, knit from a microfiber yarn the listing describes as super soft. Polyamide is the nylon family fiber that gives tights their smooth surface, and elastane is the stretch that lets them go on and stay put. At 80 denier the listing calls the thickness medium and the color solid and opaque, so this is a covering tight rather than a sheer one. How warm it feels on a given morning is not something the listing measures.

The listing also mentions 3D spandex knitting, which it says makes the tights stretch in every direction for a better fit. Sizing is given by height and weight. S/M is for 5'0" to 5'6" and 90 to 130 lbs. L/XL is for 5'3" to 5'10" and 120 to 180 lbs. 2XL/3XL is for 5'3" to 5'11" and 170 to 240 lbs. The ranges overlap, so anyone near a boundary will want to check both rows.

Care is listed as machine wash, with no water temperature or drying advice given, so the label on the pair is the place to check. The listing does not state a country of origin beyond imported, and it does not name a color, a waistband type or a toe type. Whether 80 denier looks right with a given skirt or boots is a matter of taste, not measurement.
