A reporter at Slate did a review of several brands of pantyhose. I don’t agree with her findings. A couple of differences between the 2 of us:
- I wear the color suntan if I want to have a nude hose on. The brands she recommended aren’t dark enough for me.
- Spanx isn’t big enough in the upper inner thigh area for me, or it’s too big everywhere else. This doesn’t make for comfortable hose.
- The Victoria Secret brand is just barely big enough which suggests to me that it isn’t going to fit, but I haven’t tried it.
So do I have a recommendation? I like the Leggs brand best overall, but I think this is a highly individual thing, like which jeans fit you best.

the best pantyhose for fit ,durability,looks, feel and overall comfort is donna karans collection. i love the semi opaques the best and they last a long time. they are available at dillards department store. also try to look at shapings.com where the absolut best pantyhose and tights are sold. for everyday work etc. leggs sheer energy is the best. a tip, dont make them more uncomfortable that they are by wearing panties underneath becouse it couses them to slide down. get some with the pantie made in or if you have to wear panties, wear sheer to waist with the panties on top becouse they will hold them inplace. good luck
I am tall and it hard to find a pair of pantyhose that will fit me. I too like leggs for suport but the best hose that i have found that sing to me when i cross my legs isdelicates at JC Pennys
I prefer peavey suntan hose (hooters hose). They are extremingly durable and are a little darker than most suntan hose. I wear them with dresses at work almost every day and they look and feel great. And the waist is smaller and doesnt tend to ride up into veiw if worn under slacks. The sizes run small so order one size larger than normal. The only thing is you have to order online and only a few places sell them. Because of that I order 20-30 pair at a time. I just love them.
Victoria’s Secret has the WORST pantyhose EVER. I’ve gotten a lot of them, and they’re just terrible. Even if I get the largest size, they’re too small, and I wear a size 12 jean, which isn’t HUGE. They snag if you look at them cross eyed. There are little places where the machine didn’t make them smoothly, so if you pull there (which you have to to get the darn things on) they run. Don’t buy them! I love Victoria’s Secret, but they’re pantyhose are just deplorable. Plus, they have like… four colors.
Leggs Silken Mist And sheer elegance waist band free are the best!
