Denier
The term "Denier" indicates how sheer a piece of hosiery is. Basically, the lower the denier, the more sheer the hosiery and vice versa. You need to decide if you prefer a lighter and less saturated or a more covered and "thicker" look.
It works like this:
Ultra Sheer -- less than 10 denier It gives the appearance of bare legs. Perfect for summertime without making your legs and butt sweat in the hot weather. Ultra sheer hosiery is subtle and very elegant.
Sheer -- 10 - 20 denier
It is stronger than ultra sheer with a similar look and must be the reason why it's the most popular denier range. Sheer evens out the appearance of your legs. Practical for everyday wear and looks elegant for evening.
Semi-opaque -- 25- 35 denier It's stronger and longer lasting than sheer. Still elegant for dressy occasions (you can still see your legs through the weave). Warmer than sheer, but not yet opaque.
Opaque -- 40 denier ++ Very durable and long lasting, practical for everyday wear. Very warm, ideal when you want to wear a skirt in cold weather. It completely covers the leg, so you cannot see your skin through the weave.
