Hanes tights are some of the most interesting and unique in the world of legwear. This is because Hanes is not technically a legwear designer, but a group of designers. They have been making all kinds of clothing and underwear for so long, but want to do more in the world of legwear too. So let’s take a look at their range and their brand and see what is so special about them.
What Makes Hanes Such An Interesting Designer?
Hanes tights are only a small part of their business. And a new part too, for that matter. They are beautiful, well made and affordable though, something that is a real combo for such a new designer. But Hanes themselves are not so new. They have so many other franchises and names under their umbrella that it is difficult to cover everything they have to offer in a word. They are the owners of Playtex, the bra company that makes some of the most iconic and well-known bras in the history of the world. They are also the parent company behind Maidenform, a shapewear company that makes some of the best underwear for compression and support underwear you can name. And they also own Champion, perhaps one of the best known and best-loved casual wear companies in the world, makers of sweatshirts and cotton t-shirts of the highest quality compared to American Apparel and Converse as the all American standard of quality. Now, Hanes tights are a part of the ever-growing offering and range that this amazing company is making. The quality, affordability, and sense of style are all here thanks to the experience they have made all these amazing items of clothing. Now, Hanes legwear joins those same ranks, and they are every bit as good and impressive.

Hanes Silk Reflection Luxury Pantyhose Collection

Hanes Silk Reflections Luxury Collection Soft as Cashmere

We love the packaging of these pantyhose (pantyhose, not tights as Hanes are from the USA). A classically simple picture of the hosiery on the front and a full description and size chart on the back.

The good impressions continue inside the packet, soft, smooth hosiery and instructions for putting on your new sheer hosiery printed on the card.

The sheer of the legs are finished with an elegant sandal toe and have been shaped at the heel. The top of the leg runs high up onto the hip. The hi-cut panty carries a stunning floral lace design and is finished with flat seams and a cotton-lined gusset. There is a Hanes label to show you which is the back and which is the front and although the label has no size shown on it the sizing is coded into the waistband several small ridges on each hip… three for size E-F as reviewed.

Hanes sizing differs from European sizing in that there is no overlapping on the size chart. Sizes A-B and E-F are designed for ladies up to 5’7 with the swap over for weight being at 140lb. Size C-D covers the middle of the weight range 120-160lb but is sized taller, up to 6’0”.

“Soft as Cashmere”, we couldn’t have put it better ourselves. The look is as soft as they feel, the cosmetic finish making these tights near invisible on the leg with a perfectly even colour. Stunning for 20 denier hosiery.

The pretty panty comes high on the body for a very comfortable fit. You may want to consider wearing some other underwear, as is relatively see-
through

The light control panty is so light that it is just not worth the name; it just hugs your curves and fits nicely.

The sizing is far more generous than the size chart suggests, there is lots of stretch and strength to cope if you are taller. Our tip would be to buy based on weight alone.

Maybe not quite “Luxury Hosiery – Perfected” but very close indeed. Fantastic value for the price.
