Penti Premium 20 Denier Fashion Tights

Penti Premium 20 Denier Fashion Tights are the flagship of Penti's sheer range. Knitted with patented technology for an even distribution of fabric, they combine a transparent, silky gloss finish with well-concealed flat seams and an ultra-soft wide waistband — the sheer tights to wear when the occasion matters and the tights must not.

What makes them premium

Two things separate a premium sheer from a basic one: how evenly the yarn is distributed, and how the seams and waistband sit. Penti's patented knit spreads the fabric evenly from thigh to ankle, so there are no thin, shiny patches at the knee and the gloss stays consistent down the leg. The seams are flat and hidden, the waistband is wide and soft enough to disappear under a fitted dress, and the transparent toe means nothing shows in open shoes. A 22% elastane content is high for a 20 denier, which is what gives them their stretch and recovery.

Premium 20 vs 7 and 15 denier

The 7 Denier Stop is lighter and matt, for a bare-leg look; the Style 15 Denier is the everyday microfibre sheer. The Premium 20 is the dressiest of the three: the gloss finish catches the light, and the extra weight makes it the most durable sheer for weddings, events and evening wear.

FAQs

Are 20 denier tights sheer?

Yes — 20 denier is a sheer weight with a little more body than 15. The leg shows clearly through a light tint, and the glossy finish gives it a polished, evening look rather than a matt daytime one.

Black or nude?

Nude gives an even, polished bare-leg look for daytime and summer occasions; black is the classic for evening and winter. Both come in the same gloss finish.

Which size should I choose?

Sizes Small to X-Large follow height and weight — match yours on our size guide. Go up if you are between two: a sheer worn too small ladders faster and loses its gloss where it is over-stretched.
