Finding plus size tights for women that actually stay up is harder than it should be. Most high-street ranges stop at XL, and the styles that do go larger often skimp on rise, waistband support and leg length.

The three specs that decide comfort

• Size range. A true plus range starts at 2XL and runs to 8XL, rather than simply stretching a standard pattern.
• Denier. 20D–40D gives a light, sheer look for warm weather; 80D and 120D add opacity and warmth for winter.
• Waistband and rise. A wide, high-waist control top prevents rolling and keeps the tights anchored, while a reinforced toe adds durability.

You can see the whole span in a plus size tights collection.

Match denier to season

For summer, a 30D ultra-sheer control top tight gives coverage without heat. For winter, an 80D opaque control top or a 200D fleece-lined tight is far warmer. Stocking two weights covers most of the year.
