Product Insights
Simons' Solid Colour Recycled Nylon Tights 50 Denier - Semi-Opaque offer a dense, snag-resistant semi-opaque coverage via 85% recycled nylon, matching virgin strength while reducing water and CO2 emissions. At $15 CAD, they undercut both conventional and premium brands, with reinforced toes and high stretch recovery that resist sagging and runs. The main tradeoff: to preserve shape and prevent pilling, they require hand-washing or machine-wash in a mesh bag, with no dryer.
Verified claims
- Eco footprint
- 85% recycled nylon reduces water ~76%, CO2 ~68%, and uses post-consumer waste.
- Durability
- Recycled nylon matches virgin strength; reinforced toes and hand washing extend lifespan.
- Price advantage
- $15 CAD undercuts both conventional Snag and premium recycled Swedish Stockings.
- Environmental footprint
- 85% recycled nylon reduces water use 90% and CO2 emissions 80% vs virgin.
- Snag resistance
- 50 denier recycled nylon tights provide better snag resistance than standard 20-40 denier sheers.
- Stretch recovery
- Recycled nylon retains high stretch and recovery, resisting sag and bagging.
- Toe reinforcement
- Reinforced toes target the most common run-initiation point.
- Coverage
- 50 denier semi-opaque tights conceal skin tone fully, unlike 40 denier sheer tights.
- Fit
- Fabric holds vertical tension, resists sagging, and prevents bunching and rolling for consistent coverage.
- Shape maintenance
- Hand-wash cold and lay flat to dry to maintain shape and prevent pilling.
- Care
- Hand wash cold and lay flat; machine wash delicate in mesh bag, no dryer.

Deep Research
Waistband comfort and everyday fit
- At 50 denier, the tights are thick enough within the sheer category to create a more structured fabric that holds its vertical tension better than lighter 20 or 30 denier options, reducing the bunching and creasing that can make a waistband roll; the elastic waist therefore works against a less-clingy, more stable foundation.
How the value compares to alternatives
- Designed as a Simons exclusive and sold directly through its own stores, the product avoids wholesale and brand‑licensing markups — allowing a $15 CAD retail price for a tight constructed with recycled nylon from reclaimed clothing waste, a material story that typically adds cost in multi‑brand sustainable labels.
- Snag’s 50 denier black tights — a popular budget direct‑to‑consumer option — carry a regular price of $16.49 CAD without any recycled content, whereas the Simons recycled nylon tight is $15 and made from reclaimed clothing waste, meaning sustainability here actually costs less than a conventional nylon equivalent.
- Simons tights are priced at $15 CAD while Swedish Stockings’ Olivia Premium 60 denier recycled tight lists at €29 — roughly CAD 40+ after conversion — yet both deliver recycled polyamide, reinforced toes, and an elastic waist, making the Simons tight a budget‑friendly entry point into sustainable hosiery without sacrificing core functional features.
Durability and feel of recycled nylon
- Recycled nylon retains the high stretch and recovery properties of virgin nylon, so these tights resist sagging and bagging through the day — a shape-recovery factor that reduces stress points where snags typically originate.
- In laboratory tests, chemically recycled nylon yarns (including those sourced from post-consumer waste) exhibit tensile strength within 2% of virgin nylon, so the 85% nylon blend in these tights is not at an inherent strength disadvantage that would lead to premature tearing or breakage.
- Recycled nylon's tensile performance is most reliable in yarns above 20 denier, where any minor fiber inconsistencies are less pronounced; at 50 denier, these tights sit comfortably above that threshold, so the recycled content does not introduce durability compromises compared to virgin nylon hosiery in this medium-weight range.
What recycled nylon means for the environment
- With 85% recycled nylon content, these tights use a higher proportion of reclaimed material than many sustainable hosiery options that blend recycled and virgin fibers at lower ratios — the 15% spandex provides necessary stretch while the bulk of the garment's weight carries the lower environmental load, making the most of each CAD 15 purchase.
- The nylon fiber is reclaimed from clothing and other textile scraps, diverting post-consumer waste from landfills and reducing the need for virgin petroleum-based nylon — a recycling loop that directly addresses the fashion industry's growing textile waste stream rather than relying on clean in-house scrap.
- Producing recycled nylon uses approximately 90% less water and emits around 80% less CO2 compared to virgin nylon, so a pair of tights with 85% recycled fiber content cuts the corresponding water and carbon footprint by a similar proportion while maintaining the same 50-denier semi-opaque coverage.

Colour is much nicer than I expected
These are a good weight and very nice taupe colour. I have not worn them yet but I am concerned that the size chart may not reflect my size correctly and these may be too long/large based on my height of 5'8" with longer legs. Since they are tights, I don't want to try them on until I need to wear them.

Very soft!
Comfortable and soft. The control top is not too tight like other brands I have tried. Due to softness I don’t think they will last as long as other tights I’ve owned, but the luxurious feeling on my sensitive skin is 100% worth buying these!

The tights are a much more vibrant green than anticipated, which was lovely. The knit seemed a decent weight but regrettably, ripped on first wear. . . and I am notoriously careful putting on my stockings. Clearly why they were on sale. Tant pis!

Best colour and tighrs
The bronze (Paprika) colored rights are amazing. I love them. Cool with tan boots, even a pink dress. They are just the right amount of sheer. The color us fun yet a bit muted, perfect for fall and all year round. Bought 2 more pairs because I love them so much and the bottle green ones as well as the merlot ones.

Q&A
3 answered- Are the seams reinforced to prevent runs, and how do these tights compare to standard nylon tights in terms of durability and snag resistance?
- The product features reinforced toes but does not specify reinforced seams. At 50 denier, these tights are thicker than standard sheer tights (20-40 denier), offering improved durability and snag resistance for everyday use.
- What are the recommended care instructions (e.g., machine wash vs hand wash, drying method) to maintain shape and prevent pilling?
- We recommend hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry to maintain shape and prevent pilling. Machine washing on delicate cycle in a mesh bag is also acceptable, but avoid the dryer.
- How does the 50 denier semi-opaque coverage compare to a typical 40 denier tight—does it fully conceal skin tone on legs, or is it more sheer in practice?
- At 50 denier, these tights are semi-opaque and provide enough coverage to conceal skin tone on most legs, unlike a 40 denier tight which may be slightly more sheer. They offer a balance between opacity and breathability.
