Hosiery

Fine hosiery is among the most demanding categories in intimates. A single seam mistake or denier inconsistency reads as a flaw across the entire leg. About this collection Fine hosiery is one of the most demanding categories in intimates. A single seam mistake or denier inconsistency reads as a flaw across the whole leg, and the difference between mid-tier hosiery and high-end hosiery shows up after the second or third wear, when the cheaper pair has already snagged. This collection brings together pantyhose, hold-up stockings, and patterned legwear from Wolford, Falke, and Ludique, in weights running from barely-there sheers through opaque winter deniers. From the fitting room: hosiery sizing depends more on height than on dress size, so a tall woman will need to size up regardless of her bra band size. Wolford is known for its tall sizing; Falke runs more proportionally. Hand-wash or use a delicate-cycle wash bag to extend the life of fine deniers, and air-dry rather than tumble-dry.
