Sheer tights are essential in every woman’s wardrobe. Otherwise known as pantyhose, they’re great for covering bare legs at the office or adding warmth to everyday skirts and dresses when temperatures start to drop. Unlike opaque tights, these styles allow a little skin to peek though while still proving smooth…

Thigh-high stockings are like the lingerie of legwear. On top of that, though, they’re a great option if you struggle to find full-length pantyhose that don’t slip down or have hemlines that dig. Whether you’re looking for a colorful style or a natural nude option, we’ve rounded up some of…

Finding hosiery that doesn’t bunch, roll or easily snag can be difficult for anyone. And with an often much more limited selection of plus size styles, the search can be even more frustrating for curvy women. But all hope is not lost. Some brand are getting it right in the…

Panty hose are typically made of a thinner, more sheer material than traditional tights. Often worn in office settings to avoid the look of bare legs, they can blend in with your skin tone when done in nude hues. Whether you opt for a skin-colored or black style, a good…

Whether she’s enrolled in dance class or loves to wear dresses on the regular, adding a solid pair of tights to her wardrobe is a must. Of course, she’ll need a pair that’s comfortable so she can freely leap, run and spin, as well as one that’s sturdy enough to…

The cage, a recurring motif in surrealist works, was represented todayt by fishnet tights, but — in true surrealism fashion — there was an additional twist: They were worn layered over gilded sandals. Anyone looking for…

‘Tis the season for lots of celebrations: There are the office holiday parties and swanky cocktail parties and finally the big New Year’s Eve bashes. So break out the little black dress and statement heels (or some snazzy flats). And for an even more exciting evening look, FN has picked out some fun sheers and tights that can serve…

It’s time for the slew of holiday parties, and with the milder temperatures, it’s also time for festive holiday legwear. As legwear becomes a more important part of the footwear world, brands like Commando, Wolford and Pretty Polly are boosting their holiday offerings. It’s certainly harder to pick just one or two pairs to invest…

It turns out that hosiery isn’t just hot on the runways but on store shelves, too. According to a new study by NPD Group, sales of hosiery and legwear are up — and millennials have a lot to do with the increase. Sales of sheer hosiery, socks and tights grew 3 percent, to $7.3 billion,…

If you were to look under many a sheer gown or bodycon look worn with indelible confidence on the red carpet (think Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Zooey Deschanel) or runway (Altuzarra, Prabal Gurung and Nicole Miller), you’re likely to find Commando underthings — from shapewear to the brand’s signature seamless underwear and its patented…

Sometimes, less is more. “We didn’t want anything to distract from the legs,” said Fashion Director Mosha Lundström Halbert. “It was about stripping back to highlight the power of glam gams and spindly heels.” Upon meeting Wilhelmina’s Danielle Knudson, the concept took off. “I was struck by her vixenish beauty —…
