Women's Tights
A little history of tights is a must-have on any legwear specialist's website. The word "pantyhose" comes from the English word "pantyhose," which literally means "stocking." Tights came onto the market in 1967 with the advent of the miniskirt. The comfort of tights was considered far superior to, for example, long stockings with suspenders, which were the precursors to women's tights.

What size women's tights should I choose?
The size of women's tights is always difficult to estimate. People tend to choose a size smaller, but that's not always the best option. That's why we at online-socks.com have a few tips for you! Always remember that a size S/M is never exactly 36/40; we'd say it corresponds to a size 34/38. This is because Dutch women are taller than the average European woman, meaning tights are often too small. Therefore, for a size 38 and a height of 1.75 cm or taller, always choose a size X/XL. So look at the size offered and reduce it by two each time. For example: 40-44 becomes 38-42 for a height of 1.75 cm or taller. Then you almost always have the right size, and the women's tights fit perfectly and last longer than tights that are too small. That's a win-win situation! This also applies to smaller and/or larger sizes of women's tights. Tights in sizes XXL or larger usually have a gusset in 99% of cases. This is ideal for plus-size women, making them comfortable and fit better at the waist.
Denier Women's Tights
The thickness of women's tights is called denier. Denier refers to the thickness of the yarn. The higher the denier, the thicker the tights, and vice versa. What many people might think, but isn't true, is that denier has nothing to do with the quality or longevity of women's tights. The longevity is more dependent on the quality of the yarn, which is why there's such a huge difference.
