NYLO Sheer Tights Fit Guide

NYLO pantyhose and hosiery are designed and proportioned specifically for the male body. Use the height and weight chart below to find your size.

Pantyhose Size Chart

Standard and Tall are the sizes of the 3D Seamless and the 1D, and the 120D comes in Tall only. The 10D and the Comfort Fit come in one-size as listed below.

Pantyhose sizes by recommended height and weight
NYLO Size Recommended Height Recommended Weight
Standard 5'3" to 5'9" (160 to 175 cm) 110 to 154 lbs (50 to 70 kg)
Tall 5'9" to 6'3" (175 to 190 cm) 155 to 200 lbs (70 to 91 kg)
Comfort Fit 5'7" to 6'2" (170 to 188 cm) 175 to 300 lbs (80 to 136 kg)

* Comfort Fit is a specially designed sizing series for more inclusive sizing. It is cut in panels with a U-seam and a soft, high-rise waistband, so one pair fits a wider range of heights and weights.

* 10D Sheer Tight and 10D Sock Foot Sheer Tight: fit 5'7" to 6'2" (170 to 188 cm) and 145 to 210 lbs (65 to 95 kg).

Which one to choose

Standard or Tall?

At 5'9" (175 cm), or if your height and weight point to different sizes, choose Tall. At 175 lbs or more, see the next rule first.

175 to 210 lbs (80 to 95 kg) and 5'7" to 6'2"?

More than one pair fits this range.

  • 10D: high rise, soft band. Up to 210 lbs.
  • Comfort Fit: high rise, soft band. Crotchless cut only.
  • 1D in Tall: mid rise, soft band. Up to 200 lbs.
  • 3D Seamless in Tall: low rise, firm mesh band. Up to 200 lbs.

Prefer a softer band? Choose the 10D, the 1D or the Comfort Fit. A higher waist? Choose the 10D or the Comfort Fit.

Over 210 lbs and 5'7" to 6'2"?

Choose the Comfort Fit. It fits up to 300 lbs (136 kg). Crotchless cut only. Want a closed front? Message us with your height and weight.

Not sure which pair?

If you are 5'7" to 6'2" and 145 to 210 lbs, the 10D is our usual first recommendation.

Note: Sizes are a guide. Fit varies with leg length, torso and build. We size by height and weight, not waist.

Our Products

Each NYLO product uses a different combination of denier and needle count, giving every product its own distinct feel and purpose. Denier (D) measures fabric sheerness, with lower numbers meaning more sheer and higher numbers more opaque. Needle count refers to the number of needles used in knitting, where higher counts produce a finer, smoother fabric.
