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.
