Hose buying Tips!
Leg styles
Today there is a greater variety of styles of legware than ever. Below you will find the leg style to fit your fashion need for any occasion.
silky sheer pantyhose & stockings
Features: Soft, silky hosiery with a smooth, comfortably fitting leg. A combination of nylon and Lycra creates the silky feel, allowing these hose to glide on and move easily with your body.
Fashion Advice: The silky look gives your legs a more formal and feminine appearance. Dress up an old suit with silky sheer pantyhose and you'll be surprised by the difference.
light support pantyhose & stockings
Features: Knitted from a combination of slightly heavier nylon and spandex yarns. Actually reduces leg fatigue. Among the most durable and longest-wearing sheer hosiery. Just slightly heavier than silken sheers, today's sheer support pantyhose is also fashionable and available in an array of hues.
Fashion Advice: Wear them at the office, for a day out on the town, or even a cocktail party. Slight "springy" compression keeps legs feeling fresh.
ultra sheer pantyhose & stockings
Features: Made of fine nylon, ultrasheer pantyhose require extra careful handling. Ultrasheer pantyhose and nylons are the best choice for allowing your natural skin tones to shine through.
Sheer and virtually invisible, the latest products in bare hosiery give legs a natural, flawless finish, blending the looks of luxury and simplicity harmoniously.
Fashion Advice: For daytime or night, to give your legs a sexy, natural look. Worn with neutral or dark suits and slingback pumps, they lend a sophisticated edge to your look.
day sheer pantyhose & stockings
Features: Made from stretchy nylon that clings gently to legs. Less sheer, more durable than ultrasheers. Perfect for everyday wear. With today's styles to match any skin tone, you will want to wear them everyday.
Fashion Advice: Daysheers are the perfect 9-to-5 legwear. Black or nude with a dress or suit makes a polished office look. They are also great for more casual outfits. Many ladies wear day sheer pantyhose under slacks to eliminate visible panty line.
opaque tights & pantyhose
Features: The main difference between opaques and tights is the garment weight. Tights are typically heavier, less sheer than opaques. Tights are usually made of cotton, wool, or nylon/Lycra. Opaques are usually nylon/Lycra or microfibers.
Fashion Advice: Both offer complete color coverage. Works for dress or casual. Opaques come in matte, shiny, and silky textures.
For great fashion options, and a longer, slimmer look, try opaque pantyhose or tights that match your skirt or shoe color. Heavier textures and opaque hosiery look best with lower heels. Do not wear opaque pantyhose or tights with any type of sandal.
shimmer/glimmer pantyhose & stockings
Features: "Shimmer," "glimmer," and similar descriptions refer to pantyhose products that reflect and appear to sparkle in the light, showing off leg shapes and curves.
Just one of many options to choose from when looking for a fresh new leg look.
Fashion Advice: Perfect for evening or dressing up your outfits for special occasions. Many ladies
love matching metallic shaded hose with similarly colored high heels. Adds interest and a touch of style to your everyday wardrobe.

run resistant pantyhose & stockings

glossy pantyhose & stockings
Features: Popular mainly in Europe, high gloss pantyhose and stockings are the shiniest hosiery available. The sheen of high gloss pantyhose is especially noticable. Perfect for those times when you want to attract attention to your pretty legs.
Fashion Advice: For those occassions when you want to feel particularly feminine. You'll attract lots of attention when you wear your glossy hosiery out on a night on the town.
