Plus Size Nylons

Basic Plus Size Nylons

If you need nylons or tights for business wear, there are many fine brands available in good department stores. Since nylons cannot be tried on before purchasing anyway, you can save some effort and even some money shopping online.

• Just My Size: One of the oldest and most-respected designers of plus size hosiery, Just My Size has been dedicated to providing the best fit for women of size for more than 25 years. They make five styles of sheer hosiery:
  • Regular Reinforced Toe is a very basic nylon with a non-control top.
  • Lasting Sheer Enhanced Toe is a nylon touting extra durability and made with spandex to help reduce runs and snags.
  • Light Support Sheer Toe is a nylon that offers gentle support and helps keep fatigue at bay.
  • Silky Sheer Toe offers a bit more luxury and is ideal for a nice evening out.
  • Light Support Reinforced Toe is a nylon that provides support and will last longer, thanks to the stronger toe.

• Hanes Plus: The venerable hosiery designer got on the plus size wagon to great effect and now offers a delectable range of nylons in various styles and colors, all to keep you looking and feeling your best. There are far too many to list, but you can choose from dozens in three collections: Silk Reflections Plus, Fitting Pretty and Absolutely Ultra Sheer Plus.

Sexy Plus Size Nylons

Slinky lingerie worn for fun and frolic isn’t just for the thin. Stockings and garter belts come in all sizes, so there is no reason to deny yourself the thrill of wearing something a bit risqué under your skirt. You can be sure it will be much appreciated.

An excellent Web site for one-stop shopping is Stockings Only, which has everything you need to feel sexy. Some of their selection includes:

• Sheer Quality Nylon Garter Stockings: These are available in either plain or seamed backs, have non-binding tops and come in black, white, red and nude.

• Sheer Lycra Blend Stocking: Also in either plain or seamed, this is a fitted stocking that holds its shape through the day.

• Made for the Full Figure: Pretty and flattering thigh-highs that appreciate a larger thigh.

• Fishnet Stockings With Lace-Band Tops: Very va-va-voom. They come in black, white or red, but the black fishnet is the classic look that everyone loves.

• Criss-Cross Sheer Garter Belt Stockings: These are all-in-one stockings that are probably delicate, but definitely an eyeful. They have a lace waist band and their own criss-crossing garter straps.

• Sheer Suspender Crotchless Hose: It’ll look like you’re wearing standard nylons, but when the skirt comes off, your audience gets a happy surprise.

Vintage-Style Plus Size Nylons

Stockingirl claims to make the largest plus size stockings in the world. A woman interested in a sexy vintage look should definitely explore their “Tall Girls” stockings, which feature their reinforced heel and toe and are true reproductions of the sort of stockings women wore in the 1960s, when a stocking was expected to stay up all day and into the night and actually sit at the top of the thigh, rather than drag halfway down. So Stockingirl makes size 12 and 13 extra-long stockings in a sheer denier, flat knit and Lanolized for softness and shine. This is one of their “Divine Divas” line, and that name, like the stocking, fits. The welt is extra-wide so it lays well over a full-figured foot, calf and thigh. Get yourself a slinky garter belt, or, if you really want to be retro, a girdle, and make your legs happy.
