Glamory Size Chart

What if my size is between two sizes?

If your measurements fall exactly between two clothing sizes, Glamory generally recommends choosing the larger size to ensure an optimal, non-constricting fit.

Fit and Comfort (Plus-Size Specialization):
All Glamory tights feature an anatomically extra-wide panty and thigh area. The hold-up stockings are secured to the leg by high-quality, double silicone strips without constricting.


How do I find the right size for Glamory Supersize (5XL to 10XL)?

For our Supersize collection (sizes 64 to 86), you don't need height and weight, but a tape measure. For these oversized sizes, measure your waist circumference and your hip circumference. Use the calculator or compare the measurements with our Supersize table.

How to put on tights correctly? (Instructions)

Step-by-step instructions for putting on tights to avoid runs

  1. Roll up: Roll up each leg of the tights or stockings. Carefully insert each foot to the toe.
  2. Pull up: Pull the tights or stockings up with even pressure, while keeping your feet firmly on the ground.
  3. Adjust: Pull the tights evenly over your thighs and hips up to your waist, without overstretching the material significantly.

Tip: You can also find these wearing instructions as an insert in every Glamory product package.


What does Denier (den) mean for tights?

In hosiery fashion, the term "Denier" (abbreviated as den) plays a crucial role in assessing yarn thickness. A Denier is a standardized unit of measurement: it indicates the weight of a polyester fiber that measures 9000 meters in length and weighs one gram.

  • Low denier count (e.g., 20 den): Represents a very fine yarn. These tights are transparent, sheer, and have a delicate, elegant character. They are particularly suitable for warm days or festive occasions.
  • High denier count (e.g., 100 den): Indicates a thicker, more robust yarn. These tights are opaque and warmer, making them ideal for cooler days or more formal everyday outfits.
