In recent years, when you go to buy pantyhose, you always find such numbers on the tags: 600D, 800D.

It seems that both manufactures and consumers are paying more attention to details than before.

When you compare them, it is easy to tell that larger the number, thicker the hosiery.

But here's the question, what does the letter "D" stand for? And what is the proper choice for a certain season?

The differences among pantyhose in various shapes is the weight and thickness of yarn measured by "denier". "D" is the abbreviation of the term.

Higher the denier, more opaque a pantyhose will be.
