Denier refers to the weight or thickness of the yarn or fiber used to weave pantyhose. From low to high is fine to heavy. For example 10 - 15 denier pantyhose utilize a fine or thin yarn and the pantyhose appear very sheer on the leg. 40 - 60 denier pantyhose have a higher opacity. 65 + denier and the hose are very opaque.

How do you wear pantyhose in summer heat?

I am one of the people who wear pantyhose all year round. In the summer, you can still enjoy the benefits of pantyhose but you have to choose a very sheer pair of pantyhose. They may be called ultra-sheer, very sheer or summer pantyhose. Summer pantyhose range around 5-15 denier and the materials used and the way they're woven together makes your skin breathe through this pantyhose, also helping in evaporating your sweat. So this kind of pantyhose not only doesn't make you sweat but helps you feel cooler when the weather is hot. Perfect for a summer's night out.

What is smaller 15 denier or 1 millimeter?

Denier is a unit of measurement used to indicate the thickness of fibers, where a lower denier number means a finer fiber. A denier of 15 corresponds to a fiber that weighs 15 grams per 9,000 meters. In terms of size, 1 millimeter is a length measurement, and since denier measures thickness, they aren't directly comparable. However, 15 denier fibers are typically quite fine and significantly smaller in thickness than 1 millimeter.
