Finding the right hosiery comes down to the look, coverage and fit you prefer. Use this guide as a starting point, then check the individual product page for specific sizing and material details.
Sheer vs. Opaque
Sheer hosiery allows more skin tone to show through and creates a lighter, more delicate look. More opaque styles provide greater coverage and a stronger visual finish.
Denier can help indicate how sheer or opaque hosiery may appear, but the final look can also vary depending on color, material, stretch and fit.
Pantyhose vs. Stockings
Pantyhose extend from the waist to the feet or toes, creating one continuous piece.
Stockings cover the legs individually and may be designed to stay up on their own or be worn with a suspender belt, depending on the style.
Glossy Hosiery
Glossy and shiny hosiery reflects more light than a matte finish, creating a smoother and more noticeable appearance.
For the most accurate finish, check the photographs and description on each individual product page.
Finding Your Size
Always check the sizing information on the individual product page before ordering.
Fit can vary between styles because of differences in stretch, construction and material composition.
When between sizes, use the product-specific size information rather than assuming one universal LingLingerie size chart applies to every item.
Hosiery Care
To help delicate hosiery last longer:
- Hand wash gently when possible.
- Use cool or lukewarm water.
- Avoid sharp nails, jewelry and rough surfaces.
- Do not wring or twist delicate hosiery.
- Air dry away from excessive heat.
- Store carefully to reduce snagging.
