10–20 denier
Ultra-sheer, oil shine
Almost no coverage. The gloss should look wet in a window and quiet in shade. Best with a sharp skirt, a knit, or a bare heel. If the shine looks plastic, the light is wrong, not the nylon.

Editorial standard
Denier and finish
A pair is chosen for how it behaves in daylight, not for a logo. These are the two finishes the archive is built on.
40 denier
Lustrous opaque
Enough weight for an office day, still reflective. It pairs with tailoring and a low shoe. The sheen should stay in the weave, never a sprayed-on highlight.
For brands
Seeded styles and partnership reviews are welcome. I feature glossy and sheer tights, each with a direct shop link.
