Ahead, hosiery for ladies is believed to level up our daily routine. Read on to discover which one is right for you. 
 
01 Pantyhose


Sheer Tights Pantyhose (Skin Color)
 
Let’s get started with the pantyhose. 
 
Regarded as the thinnest of the hosiery, pantyhose are sheer and close-fitting leg-wear that consist of stockings and underpants. They are skin revealing and usually serve as supplementary garments. 
 
Pantyhose are generally made of nylon or other fabrics such as core-spun yarn. They fit over the wearer’s feet and stretch up to the wearer’s waistline. 
 
02 Tights


Waist-Shaping Stirrup Compression Tights (Nude)
 
Generally thicker than pantyhose, tights can come in a huge variety of patterns, styles, and fabrics. 
 
Traditionally, tights are available in a range of opacity and deniers, which give more coverage than stockings. 
 
So far, tights are the broadest category ranging from footless tights to seamless tights, and thick wool tights to nude tights. They make an outstanding fashion statement and work with a lot of outfit choices.   
 
03 Stockings


Stylish Contrast Color Stocking for Ladies
 
Associated with an era of vintage fashion, stockings are easy-to-wear and practical hosiery options. They are garments that come in a wide range of weights, styles, and fabrics. 
 
Typically, stockings fit closely over one’s foot and cover the legs and toes in a close-fitting manner. They come to just above the mid-thigh or knee and feature trendy prints.
