DWC Tights Sizing Guide
Choosing tights shouldn’t feel like guesswork. Our Universal Tights Size Matrix uses height and weight to give you a reliable starting point, followed by brand-specific notes so you can choose the perfect pair with confidence.
How to Measure
For tights, the most accurate starting point is height and weight. If you fall between sizes, choose the larger option for comfort and durability. Hip measurement can help if your proportions differ from standard charts.
