Sound familiar? You have put together a beautiful outfit, but your tights spoil it. They roll down, pinch at the waistband or are simply too short. Those days are over. At last there is high-quality plus size hosiery that not only fits but feels fantastic too. At Glamory, we understand that curves do not mean compromise. We give you freedom of movement, elegance and quality developed especially for your needs.
Why does high-quality plus size hosiery matter so much?
For a long time, the market for plus size hosiery was disappointing. Standard sizes were often simply stretched wider, without taking the anatomy of curvy women into account. The result: slipping gussets, waistbands that dig in and frustration in front of the mirror.
Fortunately, plus size hosiery has come a long way in recent years. Today, it meets the perfectly reasonable wish for fashionable clothing that shows off your best features instead of hiding them. Plus size women should be able to wear fashion that is not only practical but also looks good. Glamory offers an extensive collection designed especially for curvy figures. Our mission is to give you the confidence to wear every skirt and every dress with pride.
The variety of plus size hosiery at Glamory
At Glamory, we do not believe in "one size fits all". Every woman is different, and every occasion calls for a different look. Our range covers the full spectrum:
- Classic sheer tights: The all-rounder for everyday wear or the office. Available in different levels of sheerness, from ultra-sheer (20 denier) to opaque.
- Seductive stay-ups: Who says support and sex appeal cannot go together? Thanks to extra-wide lace bands, our stay-ups stay securely in place even on fuller thighs, without cutting in.
- Stockings: For a special touch of vintage glamour, perfectly matched to our wider suspender belts.
- Support tights (Vital range): If you are on your feet a lot, our Vital range relieves your legs and helps prevent tired legs, without the "granny look", of course.
- Special cuts for men: Men will also find well-fitting plus size hosiery with us (mantyhose).
Fit innovations: what Glamory does differently
You might be wondering: "Why does Glamory fit when other brands fail?" The secret lies in the details. Our plus size hosiery is not simply made bigger. We adapt the cut.
In practice, that means more room in the thigh area and a brief section that is cut high enough to sit comfortably at the waist without rolling down. We use flat seams that do not show under close-fitting clothes and, very importantly, do not rub against your skin. Our comfort waistbands are so stretchy that they adapt to your shape, whether you are sitting, standing or dancing.
Material matters: quality you can feel
The material is a key factor in how comfortable your hosiery is. We use high-quality yarns and an optimised elastane content. Elastane is an extremely stretchy synthetic fibre that makes sure your tights return to their original shape after stretching. That prevents annoying bagging at the knees after you have been sitting for a long time.
For colder days, we offer microfibre styles. They are not only cosy and warm but also extremely soft on the skin and very durable. For summer or festive occasions, our 20 denier styles are your best choice, giving your legs a touch of make-up effect.
Styling guide: how to show off your legs
You have found the perfect tights but are not sure how to style them? Here are three looks for combining your new plus size hosiery perfectly:
1. The business look
Pair matt semi-sheer tights in black or charcoal (for example 40 denier) with a pencil skirt and a pussy-bow blouse. It looks professional and visually lengthens the leg. Avoid very light nude shades in winter, as they can often look unnatural.
2. Casual chic
Opaque 60 denier tights are your best friend in autumn. Wear them with a chunky knitted dress and boots. If you are feeling bold, choose a coloured pair (such as bordeaux or navy) to add an accent while keeping the rest of your outfit simple.
3. The evening look
This is where a little shine is welcome! Our "Satin" range with its subtle sheen makes your legs glow in the evening light. Paired with a little black dress and court shoes, you will look instantly elegant. If you prefer something more sophisticated, choose one of our styles with a back seam: a timeless classic that turns heads.
Tips on choosing the right pair and caring for it
The right size is crucial for plus size hosiery to fit perfectly. A common mistake is buying a size too small out of vanity, or a size too big "just to be safe". Both lead to slipping or wrinkling.
Glamory offers a detailed size chart, and you should definitely use it. As we make sizes up to 62, you will find your match. Do not just go by your dress size, but also by your height. If you are between two sizes, we usually recommend the larger one for tights, for more comfort at the waistband.
Care tips for a long life
- Laundry bag: Always wash your hosiery in a laundry bag to protect it from the zips on other clothes.
- Temperature: A 30°C delicate wash is ideal. Heat destroys the elastane fibres.
- No fabric softener: It clogs the fibres and makes your tights lose their shape.
- Drying: Never put them in the tumble dryer! Lay your tights flat on a drying rack.
Trends in plus size hosiery
The days of "just black and beige" are over. Current trends in plus size hosiery are all about variety and individuality. Alongside classic designs, tights with patterns (such as polka dots), fishnet looks and exciting colours are becoming more and more popular.
Particularly on trend right now are crotchless tights, which combine comfort and eroticism, and support tights that no longer look like support tights. Glamory offers a wide range of on-trend styles that enrich any wardrobe and can be worn every day as well as on special occasions.
