How To Shop For The Perfect Pantyhose Every Time

Hosiery, pantyhose, tights, leggings, stockings; whatever you want to call them, buying pantyhose is a whole thing. You want a pair of pantyhose that are the right colour, the right length, the right style, and they need to be sturdy enough so as not to rip on the first wear. It can be a nightmare finding the perfect pair to suit you, and it can be even more challenging if you’ve got a curvier figure. That’s why Shop Fortune has put together this little guide to help you find plus size pantyhose in Australia that fit like a dream. Don’t worry if you’re not a plus-size gal either; you can also use this guide to find yourself the ideal pair of stockings.
Height, Weight, and Size
The first things to consider are height, weight, and size when buying plus size pantyhose in Australia. Some brands of tights use more flexible materials, making their products one-size-fits-all. However, other brands will have size guides on the back to help you find the right pair. Make sure you know your metrics before shopping, as it’ll make it far easier for you to find a pair of stockings that fit. If your pantyhose are rolling down at the waist, it’s a great indicator that you need to go up a size for maximum comfort.

Style

There are so many styles of stockings. Whether you’re looking for full stockings, fishnets, anklets, or plus size thigh high stockings in Australia, you should get an idea of what style you’re after before shopping. There are also some things to consider before choosing a style;

• Weather. As you probably already know, some stockings offer a lot more warmth than others. If you’re going out in cold weather, you might want a little more coverage than fishnets.
• Your outfit. Course, abrasive materials like denim can wear away at stockings over time. It might be worthwhile to see if you can choose a style that won’t rub against your clothing too much. Stay-up plus size thigh high stockings in Australia are perfect to wear with denim skirts. Whatever you do, however, keep your pantyhose well away from velcro if you want them to look nice for a long time.

Patterns and Colours

If you’re looking for traditional black plus size pantyhose in Australia, you’ll find you’re spoilt for choice! However, you can spice up your outfit a little and make your stockings the feature piece. Try the following fun variations on tradition to add an edge to your outfit.

• Glitter tights. Oh, how we at Shop Fortune love glitter tights. A subtle yet eye-catching detail to any hosiery, sparkly tights are perfect for a night out or to jazz up an otherwise dull-coloured outfit.
• Colour. Coloured stockings make a statement. When matched with the palette of your outfit, colourful hosiery can tie your outfit together. If you’re going for a sexy, statement colour, try red pantyhose.
• Rhinestones. Like our glitter tights but with more oomph, rhinestone tights are bold, playful, and look amazing when paired with almost any heel or boot. If you’re looking for glamorous plus size pantyhose in Australia, try the rhinestones on for size.
• Fishnets. Edgy and sexy, fishnets can take your outfit to a raunchier level. You’ll be surprised at how such simple stockings can have such an impact on your style.
• Patterns. Stripes, spiderwebs, leopard print, stars; patterned tights are a definite attention-grabber. When you need to add texture to your outfit, patterned tights can bring a new dimension to your look.

Denier

A lot of people get confused when the word ‘denier’ pops up. Probably because people use words like ‘sheer’ and ‘opaque’ interchangeably. Put simply; denier measures how thick your tights are. Denier can range anywhere from 5 to around 750-800 denier. We’ve created a handy guide below to help you work out denier.

• 5-10 denier: Anything below 10 is considered ultra sheer. These tights will be fragile and won’t provide much warmth.
• 10-30 denier: Sheer tights fall into this category. Many of the plus size pantyhose Shop Fortune stock are between 10-30 denier. We find sheer stockings to be an incredibly sexy addition to any outfit!
• 30-40 denier: Between this small range are semi-opaque tights. They tend to be a bit thicker, but still sheer enough to see your leg beneath.
• 40-70 denier: Tights in this range are considered opaque. They’re more suited to Australian winter months as they offer a bit more warmth.
• 70-150 denier: If you live in a colder part of the country, you may want the added warmth that thicker opaque tights can offer.
• 150-400 denier: These thick pantyhose are considered as thermal tights and can sometimes be fleece lined for added warmth.
• 400-800 denier: You won’t need pantyhose of this thickness in Australia unless you’re planning on visiting Antarctica or the Arctic.

Purpose Of Your Hosiery

Finally, where you plan on wearing your plus size pantyhose in Australia will help you pick the perfect pair. Shop Fortune believes in playfulness over practicality, so if you need stockings for work, you may not find what you need! However, if you work as an entertainer or a dancer, we’ll have plenty from which you can choose! We have hosiery perfect for;

• Costumes
• Sexy lingerie
• A night out on the town
• A fun twist on a bold outfit

Fishnets

It’s no secret that a pair of fishnet stockings can make even the most demure of women feel incredibly badass and edgy. There is just something about these tights that make us feel empowered, bold, and sexy. After getting your fishnet stockings online in Australia through Shop Fortune, there are a few ways you can incorporate them into your day-to-day outfits.

• Under denim shorts. A pair of cut-off denim shorts over the top of your fishnets paired with a band shirt creates an easy punk look perfect for every day.
• With a playsuit. Collared playsuits are fun, especially when they’re made of materials such as denim or linen. Adding a pair of fishnets and some boots creates a statement look that will leave you feeling powerful.
• Under ripped jeans. Stockings under jeans may seem counterintuitive, but when you have rips in your denim, a peek of fishnet can add that little bit of extra edge.

Anklets

These are a playful addition to any outfit and seem almost whimsical in their simplicity. The right pair of anklets can create depth and make an outfit intriguing to the eye. To find anklet pantyhose online in Australia, try Shop Fortune’s website. Anklet stockings look great with;

• A day dress. An almost flirtatious ankle stocking can set off floral patterns, making them perfect for sunny picnics. Paired with heels, anklet stockings bring a cheeky charm to a simple dress.
• Flowy midi skirts. Usually, when you wear a bohemian-looking skirt, you’d go for sandals or boots, but you wouldn’t think of pairing them with a pair of anklet stockings. Doing so brings whimsy to your overall look, leaving you with a warm, cottage witch vibe.

Coloured Stockings

It’s no secret that people avoid coloured pantyhose in Australia. While black and nude are the safer, traditional choices, they’re also incredibly overdone. We’d love to see more people embracing high-quality pantyhose in more daring colours! Try them with;

• A monochrome outfit. Monochromatic looks are sophisticated and chic. Why not add another layer by incorporating a pair of coloured pantyhose?
• A partnered jacket. Whether you choose to pair your stockings with shorts or a skirt, try matching your pantyhose to your blazer or jacket for a fun vintage look. Bonus points if you belt the jacket!

Thigh-High

Quality thigh-high stockings are sexy, sleek, and bold. They give the wearer an air of confidence, and they draw the gaze of people in the room. As stockists of high-quality thigh-high stockings in Australia, Shop Fortune have a couple of tips on how to make your thigh-highs the statement of your outfit.

• Wear a skirt. How short you want that skirt to be is entirely your choice, but pairing quality thigh-high stockings with a skirt creates a raunchy, bold look perfect for a night out.
• Wear under your work clothing. The best part about hosiery is that no one has to know you’re wearing it unless you want people to know. You can wear whatever you want under your clothes at work, and a pair of thigh-high stockings can make you feel sexy and confident all day long.

Patterned Pantyhose

Your patterned pantyhose can be as bold or as simple as you’d like them to be. How you wear them is up to you, but the more vibrant the patterns, the bigger the statement they’ll make. Get your high-quality patterned pantyhose in Australia through Shop Fortune for a premium pair of statement tights. If you’re searching for ideas on how to incorporate patterned stockings into your wardrobe, try;

• Matching with neutrals. If your outfit doesn’t have much texture and seems to use a lot of black, grey, and brown, try giving it a boost with patterned stockings.
• Create a theme. Patterned stockings are a chance to have fun! Match your stockings with a bag or some earrings and build yourself an outfit with an exciting theme. You can also incorporate seasonal themes into your outfit with stockings that have Halloween or Christmas patterns! Enjoy spicing up your outfits with statement stockings.
