Style & Fit Tips for Shopping Plus Size Tights and Hosiery

When it comes to shopping for plus size tights and hosiery, a little know-how goes a long way. Here are some pro tips to make sure you find the perfect pair:

1. Size Matters (and So Does the Chart!)
Sizing for tights can vary wildly between brands, so always check the size chart before buying. Many brands offer extended sizing or plus size-specific charts, so take your measurements (hips, thighs, and inseam) for the best fit.

2. Fabric is Everything
Look for materials with a good mix of stretch and durability. Tights with a higher percentage of spandex or elastane provide a comfortable fit without sagging or digging in. If you want more warmth, opt for thicker deniers (50+), while sheer tights (20 denier and below) are ideal for a flirtier, lightweight look.

3. Pay Attention to Waistbands
A wide, comfortable waistband can be a game-changer for all-day wear. Avoid thin or overly tight bands that may roll or dig in, and look for seamless options for a smooth silhouette under your clothes.

4. Go Bold or Go Basic
For everyday wear, classic black, nude, or navy tights are wardrobe staples. But donโ€™t be afraid to branch out โ€” fishnets, patterned styles, metallics, or lace can add a playful edge and personality to your outfits.

5. Donโ€™t Skimp on Quality
Cheap tights can tear faster than you can say โ€œsnag,โ€ so invest in quality pairs, especially if you plan to wear them often. Brands that cater specifically to plus sizes often provide better fit and durability.

6. Mind the Gusset
A reinforced gusset (that diamond-shaped panel in the crotch) adds comfort and prevents chafing, so itโ€™s worth checking for this feature in your tights.

7. Shapewear vs. Comfort Fit
Some tights come with built-in shaping features, which can be a bonus if you like a bit of smoothing. However, if comfort is your priority, stick with non-restrictive options.

Plus Size Tights That Empower Your Winter Style

Plus size tights and hosiery are more than just a practical layer; theyโ€™re a style statement. From classic black to bold patterns, the right pair can elevate your look, keep you warm, and boost your confidence. So whether youโ€™re stepping out in a sultry plus size sweater dress or rocking a street-style vibe with a leather skirt and wide calf boots, these tights are here to support you (literally and figuratively).

What kind of tights do you rock? Have you shopped all or any of these? If we have missed some of your favorites, tell us where you go in the comments!

    As a pear-shaped, plus size woman, I am often frustrated by tight shopping. Although there are more plus sized options than ever, a lot of them cater to more of an apple shape and only add extra fabric to the belly area. Consider this my plea for some kind of warning on the package (or better yet, the website for online purchases) that the thighs are narrow and the extra fabric only shows up around,the waist. (Lane Bryant, Iโ€™m looking at you)
