The Classic Sheer
There is nothing more chic than a pair of sheer black tights. Not only do they provide maximum comfort, but they also give a soft discreteness to the leg that will provide elegance. Whether you have a party to attend or just want to dig out that vintage dress you’ve been wanting to wear for months; you can easily throw this on and have an automatic polished look.

Part of the opaque fundamentals is that they can also be worn under clothes as well. With a smooth texture, you can easily wear these with a pair of your favorite jeans and feel no discomfort due to their flexibility. This is the perfect element to add to your next layered look!
