As of November 2026, Wolford sells its sheer tights in letter sizes, and its size guide lists height and weight. The Individual 10 Tights page offers XS to XXL, the Luxe 9 Tights page XS to XL. A man who wants a Wolford pair checks his height and weight against that guide. NYLO publishes this Journal and makes three of the pairs compared here: the 10D, the Comfort Fit and the 1D, sheer tights made for men at 10, 3 and 1 denier. NYLO is not affiliated with Wolford.
This comparison uses each brand's own pages as published in November 2026. Denier is the weight of the yarn. Needle count is the number of knitting needles.
Wolford tights for men: what its pages state
As of November 2026, Wolford lists the Individual 10 Tights and the Luxe 9 Tights under its sheer tights, a category its page puts at 8 to 15 denier. The Individual 10 page offers sizes XS to XXL. It notes a soft waistband and a toe reinforcement it names Shadow Toe. The Luxe 9 page offers XS to XL, with a knitted waistband and toes left without reinforcement. Wolford's size guide lists height and weight, so a man checks his own numbers against it before he orders.
Wolford's returns page, as of November 2026, gives 30 days from receipt of the order. The item goes back unworn and undamaged, in its original packaging with its tags and labels, together with the sales receipt. Each shipment includes a prepaid return label. Choose Wolford if you fit its sizes and want that brand.
What NYLO makes for men
NYLO makes sheer tights for men, and the size guide gives each pair a height and weight range.
The 10D Sheer Tights are 10 denier, knit on 1012 needles. Woven with Lycra, the 10D resists runs. The pair is high rise: the waistband sits above the navel. Colors are Black and Beige. The fit is 5'7" to 6'2" (170 to 188 cm) and 145 to 210 lbs (65 to 95 kg).
The Comfort Fit is the 3D sheer, rebuilt to fit more: 3 denier on 640 needles, cut in panels and joined with a U-seam through the hip and seat. It is high rise with a soft, stretchy elastic waistband, Open front only, in Black and Beige. It fits 5'7" to 6'2" (170 to 188 cm) and 175 to 300 lbs (80 to 136 kg).
The 1D Seamless Sheer Tights are 1 denier on 512 needles, with a matte finish. The pair is mid rise: the waistband sits around the navel. Under trousers the 1D reads as bare leg. The 1D is the lightest pair we make and extremely delicate, so handle it with care. Colors are Black and Sand, in Standard and Tall.
We also make the 3D Seamless, 3 denier on 640 needles, low rise with a firm mesh waistband, in Standard and Tall. The 120D is a 120 denier knit, the most opaque pair we make, in Tall only with a mid rise. Two sheer dress sock styles, 1 denier and 10 denier, sit below the knee.
Unopened items in their original sealed packaging can be returned within 14 days of delivery; email support@nylo.us first, and see our refund policy. Every order includes disposable gloves for putting the pair on, so nails and rough skin do not catch the knit.
Sizing: what each size guide lists
As of November 2026, Wolford's size guide gives height in feet and in centimeters, and weight in pounds and in kilograms, while its Individual 10 and Luxe 9 pages sell in letter sizes. Ours lists height and weight too. It names the sizes Standard and Tall on the 3D Seamless and the 1D, and a single range on the 10D and the Comfort Fit, with the height and weight printed beside each. Our pantyhose size chart for men walks through each row.

Who each brand suits
As of November 2026, Wolford suits you if you fit its sizes and want that brand, if you want a 30-day return window, or if you want a size up to XXL on the Individual 10 Tights.
Both size guides list height and weight as of November 2026. A NYLO pair suits you if you want sheer tights made for men, each with a published height and weight range. Inside 5'7" to 6'2" (170 to 188 cm) and 145 to 210 lbs (65 to 95 kg), the 10D is our usual first recommendation. For broader builds, the Comfort Fit fits 5'7" to 6'2" (170 to 188 cm) and 175 to 300 lbs (80 to 136 kg), Open front only. For a bare-leg look, the 1D reads as bare leg under trousers. Where those ranges overlap, the size guide gives the rule.
Where to start
Open the size guide with your height and weight in hand. Its rules point you to the pair for those numbers. Outside every range, or still not sure, send your height and weight through the contact page before you order, and we will tell you whether a pair will fit.
