Tights 120 DEN

120 DEN is one of the thickest tights in a typical offering. DEN is a unit of yarn mass: the number of grams per 9000 meters of fiber. The higher the value, the thicker the thread, and thus the denser, more matte, and warmer fabric. The material is dense, warm, and completely opaque, often with a soft, slightly brushed finish on the inside. Worn in winter instead of leggings under dresses and skirts.

At this thickness, tights do not lay smoothly under tight-fitting knits, so it's better to combine them with looser dresses and skirts. Pay attention to the waistband width - with thick tights, a narrow elastic band is most bothersome.

Tights size is selected based on height and weight together, according to the manufacturer's chart - clothing size can be misleading here. Tights that are too small will pull at the crotch and tear faster on the thighs; those that are too large will wrinkle at the ankle and slip down at the waist. If you are on the border between two sizes, choose the larger one: less stressed fabric lasts longer.

Wash by hand in lukewarm water or in a mesh bag at 30 degrees Celsius, without spinning and without fabric softener. Dry flat, away from a heater. Shipping in 1-2 business days, free delivery from 199 PLN, returns within 14 days.

How to choose your size

The higher the number, the thicker the yarn, and so the denser, more opaque and warmer the knit. The fabric here is dense, warm and completely opaque, often with a soft, lightly brushed inner face. They are worn in winter in place of leggings, under dresses and skirts.

At this thickness tights will not sit smoothly under close-fitting knitwear, so pair them with looser dresses and skirts. Look at the width of the waistband too - with heavy tights a narrow elastic is what you notice first.

Tights are sized by height and weight together, using the manufacturer's chart - your dress size is misleading here. Tights that are too small pull down at the gusset and split sooner across the thighs; too large, they wrinkle at the ankle and slide down at the waist. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one: knit under less strain lasts longer.

Hand wash in lukewarm water, or in a mesh bag at 30 degrees, with no spin and no fabric softener. Dry flat, away from radiators. Dispatch in 1-2 working days, free delivery over PLN 199, 14-day returns.

We currently have 3 Legs styles here. At this weight stretch is what matters most. Knit without enough elastane drags at the gusset as you pull it on and comes up short on height, so when choosing a size go by height rather than hip measurement alone. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one - heavy knit is far less forgiving than fine knit.

Fabric and comfort

120 DEN tights are among the warmest hosiery we stock - the density of the knit puts them close to fine leggings. They work in winter under a dress or skirt, and as a layer under trousers on freezing days.

Lighter options for in-between weather are in 100 DEN tights and 40 DEN tights, and every weight together sits in the tights collection. Check your size in the size chart.

Washing and care

Washing has a practical bearing here. Tights with a high synthetic content should go in a mesh bag at 30 degrees, without softener. Drying them on a radiator stiffens the knit and makes it pill faster where it rubs, which is the inner thigh.

Which style to choose

If you want tights that do not slip inside your shoe, choose styles with a reinforced foot. The extra layer of yarn at the heel and toe adds several months to the life of a pair worn daily with flat shoes.
