Donna Karan The Nudes Pantyhose

These are the absolute best for women of color. The Nudes are true to skin tone, very comfortable and I have been wearing them for years. Even though they are expensive - they are worth every penny. My only issue is that they are difficult to find in store and I usually have to order on line. But I would recommend them 100 %.

I have been wearing this hosiery for years now and I can attest to it's matte sheerness. It really does make it look like you are not wearing stockings. There are times when it just isn't practical to go bare legged and thank Kate - HRH the Duchess of Cambridge, it is now socially acceptable to don hosiery again. I like how this particular style of DK Nudes has the longer panty that holds your tummy and upper thighs nice and snug. Have open toed shoes? Don't despair, DK Nudes make a version that allows for that too. I highly recommend Nordstrom's lingerie wash and a mesh bag for lightly laundering. You should get a number of wearings out of each pair.

Until this purchase, I don't think I'd worn nude hose in ten or fifteen years. I was happily surprised by the quality of this pair. I'm very fair skinned (pink undertones) and the A03 shade worked perfectly (neither too light nor too "suntanned"). The hose were very comfortable throughout five LONG days of wear. Very lightweight, delicate, and silky, but surprisingly durable! I purchased a second pair thinking I would inevitably snag these sometime during the week, and I did - but they didn't run! I probably snagged these upwards of 20 different times, and not once did they run. I also ripped a hole in the seam of the toe, but again no run. Despite their delicateness, the fabric is quite strong! I'm 5'5", 120 lbs (size 4), and purchased a small. Based on the size chart I thought the small might be a tight squeeze, but I had room to spare- a medium definitely would have been way too big. All in all, these are worth the price for natural-looking, lightweight hose that stand up to heavy use.
