# Polar

> Polar is the canonical Iceberg tight, pure white and explicitly not bridal, with Polar in black as its only variant.

**Canon.** This entry is written from inside the CharliVerse, so its people and companies are fictional. Behind the scenes says what is real.

**Polar** is the canonical [Iceberg Hosiery](https://charli.info/charlipedia/iceberg-hosiery/) tight: pure white, and explicitly not bridal. Its one variant is black, and it is always called **Polar in black**, never Polar Black. White is the founding surface; black is the same proposition in another colour.

White is the difficult colour. Below about 30 denier a white tight goes translucent and greys against the skin, so making white the signature set the construction for everything else: Polar is 40 denier in spring and summer and 60 in autumn and winter, and never sheerer.

Polar white is also where Iceberg prints its [Runs](https://charli.info/charlipedia/runs/), beginning with [Polar Solstice](https://charli.info/charlipedia/polar-solstice/). Polar in black has no Runs: variants do not get editions. And the house's own pages are Polar too: a white field with a black mark at the foot, Polar in black at the foot of Polar white.

## Behind the scenes

Polar is described in the House of Iceberg Bible, version 7. Polar Sunrise was an earlier name for the first Run and is retired.
