Skirts, tops, even shoes – we tend to shop for our body type. Shopping for your unique shape allows you to choose the right garments that make you look your best, so why not shop for your hosiery in the same way? One trend that works brilliantly for one body type might not be the best choice for another, and shopping in a way that is unique to your shape will help you to get the most out of your hosiery.

If you have shorter legs, shopping smart for hosiery can help you to elongate them pretty easily. For those with short legs, they’re looking to elongate, try opting for a dark pair of opaque hose and pairing those hose with matching pumps. For an easy example, an opaque pair of black tights like our Champagne 40 Microfiber Fashion Tights with a pair of sleek black pumps will allow your legs to seamlessly flow into your footwear, giving you a perfect effortless elongation. A trend you may want to avoid is pairing patterned tights with solid pumps, as this can really break the leg into different sections and leave your legs looking even shorter.

If you want the appearance of leaner legs, hosiery with a seam can both elongate and slim at the same time. This seamed look is particularly classic, and gives the feeling of retro Hollywood glamor. Our Chiara Back Seam Pantyhose has a sheer black look with a perfect seam running up the back of each leg. The seam helps to allow the line of your legs to travel upward in a long and lean fashion, providing the appearance of longer and leaner legs.

Another trick to make legs look leaner is using the opaque nature of tights to your advantage. Dark, opaque, and thick tights are perfect for slimming down the leg while retaining a sexy shape. To really add something different into your look, try pairing this opaque and dark need with a textured tight.
