Hosiery can change a whole outfit, but plus-size women know the pain of waistbands that roll and thigh-highs that slide. The fix is buying from brands that size by height and hips, not 'one size'.

Here's what we'd pick, each with buttons straight to the stores.

The looks

Shop buttons open the store's own search or category page in a new tab, so you see today's prices, sizes and stock. Always check the size chart: sizing varies a lot between brands.
