Pantyhose

Pantyhose provide full coverage from the waist to the toes. Their thickness can vary from 7 denier (ultra sheer) to approximately 30 denier. The higher the denier the more durable and resistant to holes or ladders they are.

The finish on the leg can be shiny (great for a night out) or matte (for everyday wear). The brief can be the same material as the legs (sheer to waist) or reinforced with thicker material for a slimmer, sleeker silouhette (control brief).

With our wide range of pantyhose available, you are sure to find something suitable for any occasion whether to wear everyday to the office or for an extravagant night out, all for at least 33% less than the retail price.

Specialised styles of pantyhose we stock include: extra durable, hipster, toeless, sheer toe, support and many more.

Stockings and stay ups

Both stay ups and stockings are thigh length products. Stay ups cling to the thigh normally using a silicone lining, stockings need to be worn with a suspender belt. Perfect for adding a touch of sexiness to any outfit.

Examples of our styles include: lace top, fishnet, bridal and opaques for colder weather.

Opaque tights and leggings

In colder weather, our opaque tights and leggings will keep you warm and cosy. The thickness (and warmth) is measured in denier ranging from 40 denier (semi-opaque) to 200 denier (full winter weight). Fashion tights can add a pop of colour to your winter wardrobe.

We also have wool tights, cotton tights and styles suitable for school.

Fishnets and pattern tights

For the perfect way to accesorise any outfit try pairing with some fishnets or pattern tights. 

You can't go wrong timeless classics such as sexy fishnets, cute polka dots, herringbone or elegant back seam stockings. 

We also carry the season's latest patterns in store to jazz up a sleek suit or to be the life of the (costume) party so you will always stay on trend.
