In the wonderful world of hosiery, there are a potpourri of practical and fashionable options for women. However, as you embark on this hosiery seeking journey, you may be wondering what the difference between pantyhose and tights are. While the answer may seem obvious to some, many women do not realize and, therefore do not appreciate, the subtle intricacies of both.

What Are Pantyhose?



Panty hose are thin tights made of nylon. It is snug fitting legwear that comes from waist to toe, including a panty. Originated in the United states, they are transparent in sight and silky to the touch. Hosieree presents Pierre Mantoux Douceur 8 Denier Ultra Sheer Tights with a reinforced under waist band, double covered lycra yarn, and sheer toe to waist. Complete with flat seams and a reinforced toe, a cotton gusset,they are very silky and elegant. Ultra sheer pantyhose are most often made of the finest fibers and are commonly worn on special occasions.

What Are Tights

Tights are also close fitting but they are not usually as sheer as pantyhose are. Although they do cover from the waist to the toes also, tights are thicker and soft to the touch. At Hosieree, we offer Miss Seamless Tights, which feature microfiber sheer to the waist with a matte finish. These come with a fashionable elastic waistband in Bronze, Marron, Moreno, or Nero. You might also enjoy the Hosierre Opaque seamless Tights 60, which offer a thicker 3D lycra yarn, and a low fit waist band so that your tights will never show underneath your clothing.
