Planning on wearing this dress to my Christmas work night out. I hate my legs so planning on wearing black tights to disguise my cellulite and rubbish knees. What denier should i wear? Cluless with this.

Im 5ft 7 and size 12 if that matters. Thanks!

I find 15/20 etc are very…. well suited for very mature ladies

The more denier, the more coverage. I know it's all about old fashioned proper tights at the moment, like on photo on the right, but who cares?
If you can try a few pairs, just pick the one your legs look the best in. Buy 2 pairs of these, just in case. And make sure the material is mate, not shiny. Shiny tights make even the best legs look like sausages. God I hate tights.

Love the outfit
I’m the same size & height as you, I’ll be wearing 20 denier as I think they look dressier. I wear 80 denier with work dresses.

Thin ones e.g 15 seem to be about more at the moment
