Several days back, we began to investigate the means of selecting the correct size of hosiery in women, as the fit can have a significant influence on the level of comfort and the appearance.
Initially we had assumed that sizing would be as simple as the standard clothing as we started to read further, we discovered that the hosiery sizing is more dependent on height, weight and body shape than on the simple small-med-large labels.
Based on our research, the majority of brands also offer a size chart that is a combination of height and weight ranges, which helps customers select the right fit. These charts should be followed precisely since the correct size must feel comfortable, not tight and also must not roll down or cause any sagging.
Another observation we made as we searched various listings on Alibaba was the fact that many of the manufacturers provide detailed sizing instructions as well as highly stretchable materials that could be used to fit various body types more easily.
We have learnt that it all depends on measuring and wearing hosiery with high elasticity to ensure a snug but comfortable fit.
Finding out, but sizing properly is a huge difference in comfort and longevity.
