The sheer tights for a skirt on a Tuesday morning

A skirt or a short dress asks for a certain kind of tights, one that stays out of the way. These are 30 denier sheer tights with a sheer panty and a sheer toe, so there is no control top panel and nothing to show under a short hemline or inside a sandal.

The listing describes a sheer panty, which means no control top or panty panel, so the tights run smooth from toe to waistband. That matters under short hemlines, where a seam or a band would be the first thing to show. The toe is sheer as well, made to go with sandals and open toe shoes. The listing calls the look polished but light, suited to dresses, skirts and shorts, from office days to nights out.

At 30 denier the coverage is light and slightly translucent. Denier is a measure of yarn thickness, and a lower number reads as finer and more see through. The fabric is 83% nylon and 17% spandex. The listing also says there is graduated compression from ankle to thigh, described as medium support meant to ease leg fatigue and support circulation. That is the maker’s description, and the listing gives no pressure rating in mmHg. Nothing in the listing states the knit, the waistband width or the rise.

Care is hand wash only, which is worth knowing if your space has one sink and no spare time. It is imported and sold as one pack. Which shade suits an outfit is a matter of taste, and the details here do not list colors or sizes, so check those before ordering.
