Can you give me any
suggestions to make my hosiery last longer?
Wash pantyhose gently by hand, using a mild detergent that doesn't contain
chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach will remove colors and damage fibers. If you
prefer the washing machine, place pantyhose in a hosiery bag or pillowcase and
wash on the gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Here's a little known fact:
when machine washing hosiery, turn them inside out, to avoid lint build-up.
To dry, place one or two pairs of pantyhose on a towel, roll up and squeeze
towel gently. This eliminates stretching when hanging hosiery to dry. Never
attempt to dry pantyhose in the dryer.
What's the difference
between Hosiery, Tights, or Opaques?
Hosiery comes in many varieties. Simply put: Sheers are flattering to the leg
and allow the most natural skin tone to show through; Opaques are heavier, and
provide less "show through"; and Tights are heavier still, more durable and
warmer.
Reinforced vs. Sheer Toes,
how should I choose?
Choose based on how tough you are on your hosiery and your shoe style
preference. Reinforced toes are stronger to prevent runs and holes, while sheer
toes are ideal for open toed shoes, providing complete sheerness.

Is there a "right" way to
put on hosiery?
There is a right way to put on hosiery to ensure better fit and comfort. Most
importantly, take a few minutes to put them on properly, and follow these
simple directions:
- Remove all jewelry, and check fingernails and toenails for rough edges. (This
greatly reduces those maddening "they ran as soon as I put them on" mornings.)
- Roll each leg of the pantyhose down and place the toe of the garment over the
foot. Gently smooth one leg all the way up, and then repeat on the other leg.
- Pull the rest of the pantyhose up to the waist - but don't pull too tight!
Smooth fabrics while checking for twists and sags.
- Lastly, take off your hosiery just as carefully as you put them on.
Where can I see a color
chart?
Available colors vary by size and style. Once you make your style and size
selection, the available colors will appear as the next step in the ordering
process. You may also select the ‘Shop BY’ option on our navigation menu. Our
search engine will show all available product and sizes by color.
What's the difference
between Socks and Trouser Socks?
Trouser socks are longer than the regular socks, usually to just below the
knee. Generally, more sheerly than regular socks, their texture is similar to
opaque pantyhose.
