Fashion Advice: Plus Size Hosiery | The Budget Fashionista

Hi! I’ve just started getting into “fashion” hose and tights in order to liven up my boring lawyer wardrobe. However, I have a few problems. First, I am 5’3” and weight in at about 185, so it’s hard to find hose in this size. Second, I live in a pretty un-trendy town, and I was wondering if you could suggest some online retailers for this type of thing?

Target.com

Wal-Mart

Try these online stores for fashionable plus size hosiery:

Torrid.com—Although they’re fashion skews more towards the whole skater chick look, this online and mall based store has a solid selection of fashion forward, plus size legwear—from fishnets to opaque tights.

Lane Bryant.com- Good old LB has a large selection of hosiery for plus size women, including the Spanx brand. Plus you can often find coupon codes for free shipping or discounts online.

Hanes Online—Wade through the poor site design, to find an amazing selection of hoisery—both fashion and regular for a great price.

Also try the dancewear companies like Danskin and Capezio which at times carry fashionable plus size tights. Also take a quick look in your local Wal-Mart and Target, both of which carry fashion tights in plus sizes.

Now as far as telling if a site is reputable or not, do a google search on the site and what type of information comes up. You can also check out the sites like shopzilla and shopping.com which often post customer reviews of various ecommerce sites.
