Shopping for Shiny Pantyhose

If you're looking for shiny pantyhose for purchasing reasons, just typing the words into Google's not likely to take you where you want to go. Though generally worn for performances and nights out, shiny pantyhose apparently have a fetish following as well, and that's what's prevalent on the Internet. You'll find a great selection of nylon stockings at Supreme Legwear.
However, if you've always wondered how the cocktail waitresses at your favorite sports bar keep their legs looking so sexy, you've stumbled upon their secret. You'll also find out where to buy a pair.

The Purpose of Shiny Pantyhose

This type of pantyhose is used in theater more often than perhaps any other kind. Whether you're dancing, singing, or just acting in a short skirt, these can keep your legs from looking washed out or discolored. There's enough shine there to keep your legs looking supple—not flat and matte.
While they're not best for daytime wear, shiny hose can keep your legs looking blemish-free, even if they are slightly sheer. The shine deflects light and, much as light-diffusing makeup can make your face look flawless, makes your legs look picture-perfect. Keep these in your drawer until you're going to be in a low-light area, though. If the light is too bright, they'll just look silly.
Some shiny tights double as support hose that will help improve your circulation. They tend to be thicker than barely-there tights, so they have the option of helping increase blood flow. Other styles do not. This is another reason—aside from the obvious aesthetic benefits—that they're popular among those who are on their feet a lot.
You may also want to wear shiny hose if you are:

• A cheerleader

• A waitress at a sports bar or somewhere else you're required to wear a skirt or short shorts

• Into aerobics classes

• Wearing a sexy, skin-baring Halloween costume

Finding Shiny Pantyhose

As mentioned above, you'll have to be very careful when browsing online for some pantyhose that pack a shiny punch. In fact, you may want to limit your search to behind the closed doors of your home if you're setting out on your own. Keep the shopping for these away from the office and public places that offer WiFi for the least embarrassing results. Or you could just follow our lead…

• Supreme Legwear is a site that offers glossy pantyhose. The Tamara brand has an especially nice selection of  high gloss tights. You can even get a footless version if you like the look but hate the confined feeling your feet get from pantyhose. Don’t overlook the Pretty Polly and Falke lines; there are a few types of glossy pantyhose there.

They Aren't Just for Dancers

You'll have an easy time finding shiny pantyhose if you shop online at sites that offer dance attire. While performers do love their glossy hose, there's no reason you can't enjoy the same leg-enhancing benefits they do.
Remember to take the lighting into account when you're looking for your pantyhose. The shinier the pantyhose, the lower the light should be.
