The Ultra Useful Pantyhose

Pantyhose (tights) are sheer close fitting coverings of the body from the waist to the feet, most often worn by women. Like stockings they are usually made of nylon. The one-piece pantyhose garment appeared in the 1960s and offered a convenient alternative to stockings

Also referred to as spandex, this fabric is added to hosiery since it is able to spring back, consequently also providing the hugging feeling over your legs and having the ability to shape possible problem areas such as the tummy and thighs.

Finding the right blend of fabrics to meet your needs may be the solution to finding comfortable hosiery that you can feel confident in all through your day. The right hosiery (compression tights or stockings) can also provide health benefits by reducing leg pain and lessening your chances of getting painful and unattractive varicose veins.

Pantyhose are considered a part of the lingerie wardrobe, and thus a turn-on for lots of men when they see them on a woman. Styles which are shiny, silky, and sheer-to-waist are attractive, and their tempting qualities even activating pseudo-transvestic feelings about this most feminine piece of women's clothing.

Pantyhose today are offered in an ample range of styles. The sheerness of the garment, expressed as a numerical 'denier'/'dtex', ranges from 3 (extremely rare, very thin, barely visible) to 20 (standard sheer) up to 30 (semi opaque).

Bright tights have made a splash down the fashion runways this season in eye-popping colors and wild prints. But looking over-the-top may not fit together with your way of life, so assemble with care. Steer clear of particularly demanding patterns and horizontal stripes and stick to delicate designs or easier-on-the-eye prints on dark backgrounds. For solids, team your tights with a shade that's featured in your ensemble, or play it safe and wear them with a black dress and black boots. Keep in mind, your legs will be the focus of attention, so make sure your legs are a quality to your figure.
