Pantyhose styles

Pantyhose come in a wide range of popular styles. Here are some of them.

Anyone (women or men) wanting a slimmer form should wear Control Top pantyhose, which have a reinforced panty that is like shapewear and holds in your tummy.

Sheer to Waist pantyhose are just that - sheer from the waist down to your toes. This pantyhose style is great when you're wearing a very short skirt, side slit gown, lingerie, short shorts or open-toe shoes, and do not want any reinforcement line showing. Of course, the downside is that Sheer to Waist pantyhose are fragile and can quickly run if not treated carefully.

Support pantyhose are of a heavier denier and really give control to the entire leg, since they have a higher content of lycra in the legs. Support pantyhose are very popular with women (even with men) who stand on their feet all day or sit for long hours. The all-leg support hose really keeps legs from becoming tired at the end of the day.

Finally, footless pantyhose have been made popular by Spanx. Footless pantyhose give you the warmth and support of regular hosiery, but with the foot removed so that you can wear sandals or shoes under pants without looking like you have any hosiery on. Spanx footless pantyhose and Spanx footless body shaping pantyhose have been big sellers since Oprah announced that she wears them.

Understanding men who wear support pantyhose

1. Should men wear hosiery? Well, believe it or not, men already do. The good news is they don’t need to wear their wife or girlfriend’s pantyhose to the office or worksite. There are pantyhose designed for men. However, the choice of wearing men's or women's support pantyhose is still up to the individual. Wear which ever fits best and provides the best comfortable for you. Hosiery should be unisex.

2. The trend of men wearing pantyhose started in Europe, but is rapidly moving in all directions as more men discover the warmth and security of wearing pantyhose under their clothing. In all fairness, not all men are wearing them as a fashion statement. Some men claim to wear support hosiery because of problems with circulation. The support pantyhose provide gentle compression which helps to prevent pooling of blood in the legs. Men, who lives in colder temperatures, reportedly like the additional warmth pantyhose provide on those cold, winter mornings. Whatever the reason, it appears that men’s pantyhose are catching on not only in Europe,United States but also in Asia as well.

What man could ask for more? Colour choices for man's pantyhose definitely could not compare to the variety of colours for women's pantyhose. Although the most popular colour for men’s pantyhose is black and tan, men’s pantyhose are being test marketed that feature a variety of designs on the legs, like stripes and other patterns.

4. If the idea that a man might wear hosiery is confusing to you, there’s assistance in the form of a website that tells you everything you need to know to successfully wear pantyhose as a male. This site located at e-mancipate.net has the mission of making men’s pantyhose more accessible and acceptable.
