  1. KNOW YOUR TIGHT SIZE

The first and most important thing you need to know to buy the perfect pantyhose is your tights’ size. In order to have a comfortably adjusted accessory in your tights, you must know 3 pieces of information: your height, your hip measurement, and your weight. By adding those measurements, most brands can come up with the correct pantyhose size you’ll need to adjust comfortably to your tights! So make sure you get them correctly, ok?

  1. CONSIDER THE DEN 

Have you ever heard of DEN? The DENIER is the unit of measurement for the density of synthetic fibers used to make pantyhose. The smaller the DEN (normally a 6), the thinnest the density of your accessory; the bigger the DEN (up to 100), the thickest the accessory!

So to make sure you’re choosing the right pantyhose for you, you must pay attention to the DEN unit, ok? Otherwise, you can end up with a super thick accessory that you were planning to wear with a sundress during the summer… Not the best choice, right?

  1. CHOOSE SOMETHING YOU FIND PRETTY

Just like with all accessories and clothes you buy, you should buy pantyhose that you find pretty! There are a lot of stockings styles out there, in different colors, with distinct patterns, and with or without details. That’s why you should have in mind the outfit that you plan to wear with your pantyhose to make things easier!

One of the most popular pantyhose styles out there is the fishnet – like this one from Brazilian brand Lupo! This type of accessory can be used with different types of outfits and it looks fantastic in all of them!

  1. CONSIDER THE FABRIC

Another incredibly important detail you must consider when choosing your pantyhose is the fabric. This detail impacts directly on the flexibility of the accessory, as well as in its durability and warmth. Most of the time, pantyhose are made of elastane, polyamide, and even cotton!

Take a look at Lupo’s Micro Striped Loba Pantyhose, for instance! It is composed of 95% Polyamide and 5% Elastane, meaning it is warm and comfortable!

  1. PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS 

Last but not least, pay attention to the details! Details such as seams, length, and lace are important to make sure you’ll choose the pantyhose that suits your style and taste at the same time it’s comfortable. As we said before, this accessory can be found in different lengths, colors, and patterns, such as this gorgeous black ⅞ Brazilian Pantyhose, with lace detail, from Lupo!
