Tights for under – stay warm in winter
In winter, the question often arises: Should I wear a pair of tights underneath to get extra warmth? The answer is: Yes! With the right combination, you'll not only stay warm but can also create stylish layering looks. Here's when and how wearing tights underneath makes sense – and which models are best suited.
Why wear tights underneath?
- Warmth: An extra layer insulates and protects against the cold.
- Comfort: Tights fit snugly against the body and prevent drafts.
- Flexibility: Light 20 DEN tights under a thicker pair provide more protection without adding bulk.
- Style: Layering with patterned or fishnet tights over an opaque base can be a fashion statement.
Which tights are suitable for wearing underneath?
- Nylon tights (20–40 DEN): Thin, comfortable, and perfect as a first layer.
- Shape tights: Offer shaping and warmth – practical for office & everyday wear.
- Opaque models (60–100 DEN): Warming and robust as the top layer.
- Sexy tights: With a seam or sheen, they can be worn over thin tights without losing their elegance.
Table: When is it worth wearing tights underneath?

Tips for more comfort
- Choose the right size: Tights that are too tight will pinch and be uncomfortable for layering.
- Material mix: Cotton blends provide extra warmth, nylon ensures elegance.
- Care: Layering worn multiple times puts stress on the material – use a laundry bag!
