Sheertex
Tights that don’t give up after one wear. Sheertex tights are made from a clever, ultra-strong polymer you’d normally find in climbing gear - strong enough to fend off snags, pulls and the odd cat claw. Soft, breathable and built to last, they’re made in Canada and come with a 90-day guarantee. A good option if you’re tired of binning tights after one day.
FAQ: All About Sheertex Tights
What does the denier of tights mean and why does it matter?
The denier of tights describes the thickness of the fibres used, which affects how sheer, warm, and durable they are. Lower denier means a bare-leg look but less resilience, while higher denier gives you opacity and classic British snugness. Sheertex tights span a range of deniers, all made with a patented fibre stronger than steel by weight - bringing durability to every finish.

Can tights be worn with open-toed or peep-toe shoes?
Yes, tights can be worn with open-toed or peep-toe shoes - as long as they have a sandal or seamless toe. For a neat finish, pick sheer or semi-sheer tights without reinforced toes. Sheertex offers several non-reinforced styles, so you can stay warm without tripping up your outfit. It’s a clever trick, especially in the in-between weather.
What tights should I wear with a black or navy dress?
With a black or navy dress, stick with tights that either blend in or offer a thoughtful contrast. Black tights are always a safe bet - sheer for subtlety, opaque for warmth. Navy pairs well with charcoal, grey, or for a pop, wine-red or dark green. Sheertex tights come in versatile shades built for everyday wear, so they dress up or down as smoothly as a decent zip.
Are Sheertex tights suitable for men too?
Yes, Sheertex tights are suitable for men - no gatekeeping here. Tights can be worn by anyone for warmth, layering or year-round comfort. Sheertex tights are known for their high stretch and strength, built to suit a wide range of sizes. If you’re unsure, just double-check the sizing chart. They’re as resilient as your oldest jumper and built to stay put.
How should I care for and wash Sheertex tights to help them last?
To help Sheertex tights last, wash them in cold water using mild detergent. A delicates bag in the machine is fine, but hand-washing’s gentler still. Avoid heat or softener, and let them air dry flat or on a hanger - no tumble drying. While Sheertex tights are incredibly robust, proper care protects the fibres and stretches out their life (not just their fit). For more tips, visit our Product Care & Repair blog hub.
Which are the most durable tights that won’t rip or snag easily?
The most durable tights that won’t rip or snag easily are Sheertex tights, made using a polymer found in bulletproof vests. They’re lab-tested to handle up to 10 times more force than standard tights - pretty tough for something that fits in a sock drawer. While nothing’s truly indestructible, Sheertex leads the pack for long-lasting legwear. For more sturdy options, browse our womens-socks-tights collection.
What are sheer, opaque, and semi-opaque tights?
Sheer, opaque, and semi-opaque tights describe how much skin shows through. Under 30 denier is sheer - barely-there, and lovely for smart shoes. Semi-opaque (30–50) gives lightweight coverage, while opaque (50+) offers full coverage and toasty toes. Sheertex makes all three with their famously tough fibres, meaning you can match your tights to the season without worrying they’ll ladder by lunchtime.
