Hi all, something has lit a spark recently, and I'm keen to make a few outfits. I've got quite hairy legs, and I'm not going to shave them (this is just a hobby for now). Can I wear any tights lighter than opaque and it not be obvious? I bought 15 denier last week and its quite obvious I have hairy legs. Whats the lowest denier I can get away with?
Thanks.
As someone who hasn't shaved her legs yet.... I find this an interesting topic. I "used the google" and according to an article on truly-fab, in order to hide hairy legs use opaque tights in the 60-80 denier range. I would imagine that if the color of the leg hair compared to the natural skin tone might affect this. Less contrast might mean a slightly lighter denier is possible?
Sheer tights will show leg hair. If you want to wear lower deniers, you will have to layer them, and even then you'll not hide your leg hair completely.
The only solution really, is thick nude tights - something like dance tights, and then wear lower denier nylons on top.
Hi Cat, try dance tights, available on line they are quite thick but don't have the appearance of opaque tights, they should cover your hair and they will make your legs look fabulous!
The only solution would be dance tights or layering. I don't see that layering can be anything other than impractical unless you just want to get some photos.
Aside from that, either wear a long skirt or tights that are 80 dernier or more.
I run and I see plenty of other male runners with smooth legs, also cyclists and swimmers go smooth.
I use dance tights but I also trim my leg hair to a Wahl level 3. The shorter hair does not show as well under the tights but also does not look like a shave when drab. I trim my arms to a 1 and use sunin hair lightener on them during the summer months so that I can wear shorter sleeves out
You can either layer tights to cover the leg hair, try a nude with a dark pair over them. Or there are (nude) fleece lined tights with a pantyhose layer on top that are trending on socials , search “fake translucent “ online . Just got a pair on Amazon and they are great and warm - “fur” is out, lol! .I started with shaving years ago and have moved on to epilating my legs and arms(more time before regrowth and thins the hair) Nothing like having smooth freshly moisturized legs.
I 'covered' this in another thread and Katty is right as those thermal leggings are good but the toes wear quickly. If you get a skin color opaque pair of tights in a flesh color then wear ordinary denier tights or stockings over a shade darker than the first pair it looks as if you are wearing them properly.
I wear tights only, and i also have hairy legs. Not willing to shave my legs as I'm already occupied daily with shaving my face and genital area, I don't want another task on top of.
The lowest den is 70. I find dance tights and normal tights are about the same, except dance tights feel way smoother. I only use black or nude coloured, and if the den is high enough on the nude coloured the hairs won't show unless you look at it really really close, and I have black hair too against a light colour tights (again 70 den or above. 100 is ideal).
I've transitioned to body tights, I don't know the den of it but I suspect around 70, and my hairs don't show thru.
Good question. I’ve been shaving my legs for years now and have never heard any comments, positive or negative. I appreciate the advice given by so many ladies here. I suspect you will find a suitable solution.
I bought 70 denier tights today and they look great. Thanks for all your help.
I wear 2 pairs of 20 denier beige support pantyhose and this covers extremely well. I will often add a third pair of sheer shiny pantyhose in either beige or black. See my photos in the black spotty dress, or blue one. These are wearing the 3 pairs.
