The greater the number of the denier, the heavier the weight the material the nylon tights are made out of. So in winter, you would likely wear heavier denier tights than you would in summer, for example. Tights with a lower denier also ladder way easier than those of a higher denier. Or if you tend to be quite heavy-handed, you should probably steer clear of the lower denier tights. Here are some examples of where you might wear the most popular denier tights:
- Going out on a summer evening, light, sheer 10 denier
