For starters, you can try those average quality ones from Guardian Pharmacy (their own brand). But those doesn't come with cotton gusset so it's not as comfortable. And it only comes in one size, not good if you're petite or tall. As suggested by catherine, try soxworld or sawks avenue for tights with cotton gusset.

Yes, european hosiery are generally better in terms of quality and fitting. Try marks and spencer or pretty polly in UK. If US, try leggs and hanes; or spanx if you can afford. If you can afford, try better brands like Wolford, Falke or Oroblu.
Japanese hosiery are not bad for Asian girls and can be found in Isetan too (they come in smaller sizes compared to the european hosiery, if u're really tall, u might wanna avoid japanese hosiery).

Really?

yea...well i mean not too much..but can be seen increasing..

The skin color I referring is not those nude color.. Any idea wer can I get..?

A bit of catch up..

" does not come with cotton gusset so it's not as comfortable " ...

I for one strongly agree with that statement, like I wrote earlier, in Malaysia, for ladies to be able to comfortably wear pantyhose is to go for those with cotton crotch design, and skip panties altogether, or else is almost unbreathable at times going in and out of office, like going out for lunch.. in the middle of hot mid afternoon.

Like I wrote earlier..

Sad thing is, many local brand sold do not come with those design even to cater for tropic climate..

Added on June 24, 2010, 12:09 amhave you tried the summer tights (usually less than 10d) sold in other countries?

Hey.. I think its natural color..



Anyone know where to get this..? Not sheer material..

u mean tights?? uhh...

From website it stated sheer material.. But I saw a girl wearing something similar but not sheer..

Sorry what is the different between legging and tight..?

legging are usually thicker and without the part covering the foot and sometimes can be worn as pants with long top
tights are pantyhose for the people in UK (sheer tights, opaque tights, fashion tights etc)
the generalization is - pantyhose is defined as something sheerer, while tights is something above 40d (more opaque)

it's not sheer then it should be something similar to skating tights right?
I think i've seen it in M'sia - skin coloured dancing tights by su-soku. Should be able to find'em in Jusco or other departmental store.

skating tights:

I see.. Is there any tights that are not so high waist..? Normally I wear low waist skirt.. Otherwise the upper part of the tight will show out..?

Yes there are hipster tights aka low waist tights, but hipster+skin colour+opaque are harder to find though. An example is



Hipster sheer tights are easier to find


Another alternative is fold the waistband down to suitable height

Really appreciate your guidance.. Will keep search up and down for it..

*Nice thread*

Well, I think if you really want it, you might wanna check out online store and ask LYN members who are doing UK/US forwarding serivces to get it for you
The price is much more worth it compared to getting it locally where the quality is not as good unless u're going to Isetan or Marks & Spencer (the only places in M'sia selling good hosiery that I can think of)

Getting this at US cheaper around how much ya..? Its free size right and what denier is nice..?

HOHO.. Sister going to US next month, so which shop should I ask my sis visit to get this..?

Depends on what u want I suppose. Different types have different prices.
It's not cheaper, but for that price u're paying, u're getting something much more better.
And there's no free sizes, which is a good thing. Try looking around for size chart to see which category do u fit in.
Hmmm..i'm not entirely sure about shops but I'm pretty sure places like walmart will have brands like Leggs, Hanes (US brands) in their hosiery section.

Minchinini,

For Danskin stuff, they used to have a store near Gilroy premium outlet, California.. but recently did not see it listed there, but while in US, she can always order them online . try .. danskin.com. I have not tried them before.

If you are looking for pantyhose, many factory outlet has this Brand that goes by "Legg's Hanes Bali Playtex", you can buy them in bulk for some slightly imperfect quality (6 pairs).. I like Legg's and Hanes..the support range. Also discounted too at times.

Walmart do carry some Danskin clothing (exercise) but I never check out if they have dance tights there.

In US tights usually refers to pantyhose made of thicker material.. or opaque (not sheer).

Hope my info. still serves right cos I have not been there a few years..

Thanks, Maysee.

Will ask my sis check those outlet.. Hopefully she can get me the right one..

evilhomura89,

I have not try those summer tights, usually support hosiery cannot be too thin though.. tears easily.
I bought a pair of opaque before from one the shops, but I did not see cotton crotch design on it.

minchinini,

I hope you managed to find what is comfortable , and fit, never give up until you find the right one..

@kirashin - skin color hose with shorts.. ? I for one agreed that it can be plain sexy at times, else Hooters will not attract that many male customers.. right

You meant soxworld/sawks avenue?
Well, u probably can ask the salesperson to open the packet for inspection to check the features.

My gf started wearing hosiery whenever she's wearing dress or skirt that are short to reduce the 'exposure'.
But she has sensitive skin thus she felt very itchy with certain types of tights, I'm not sure what causes the itchiness but I'm thinking of getting her something that won't trigger the itchiness, any suggestion?
And she likes the 5-toed tights that can be worn with slippers but it's hard to get it.

Btw, she thinks it's weird to wear tights with shorts. She doesn't like the idea of having something in between her legs twice, ie, tights n shorts.
