Regardless of where you live, pantyhose are essential when transitional temperatures make it a challenge to go bare-legged when wearing your favorite dress or skirt. And a good pair offers a little extra warmth without fully covering your legs while giving you just the right amount of shape support. Because we think the legwear certainly deserves a spot in your undergarment drawer, we investigated where to find the absolute best pantyhose online—here’s what we found.
Nordstrom, Target, and Amazon have a wide selection of styles available. Whether you’re looking for shapewear pantyhose or a pair that offers sheer or natural-looking coverage, these three retailers have it all. Below, we’ve rounded up some top-rated styles—along with their standout reviews—that won’t immediately tear when you put them on, offer just the right amount of control, and are, most importantly, comfortable. Read on to see and shop the best pantyhose online.
Nordstrom
Nordstrom
Everyday Control Top Pantyhose
$15
“I ordered these Gloss Control Top Pantyhose when I became frustrated with some much more expensive pantyhose that lost shape within an hour of putting them on. These retain shape, fit really well, and are quite comfortable for control top pantyhose. I have them in black and bronze, and the gloss is subtle and quite attractive. I whole heartily recommend it!” — Nordstrom reviewer
Wolford
Individual 10 Control Top Pantyhose
$70
“They last forever–I can wear them out in the freezing cold, and they make my legs look GORGEOUS! So, so pretty on!” — Nordstrom reviewer
Oroblu
Shock Up Shaping Pantyhose
$34
“Best pantyhose! Smooths every bump, but still very comfortable!” — Nordstrom reviewer
Exceptionally Sheer Control Top Pantyhose
$32
“This light opaque tight is great if you prefer a bit of coverage for work year-round. The control top is moderate but is good enough for a long day at work.” — Nordstrom reviewer
Commando
The Sexy Sheer Pantyhose
$34
“These are by far the best nylons I’ve ever purchased! They have phenomenal support without messy seams or control top, making them perfect for underneath any outfit. The lace top is flattering yet firm.” — Nordstrom reviewer

“I love these pantyhose! I rarely ever wear pantyhose because of the fit and feel, but these were very lightweight yet durable.” — Nordstrom reviewer
Spanx
Power Capri Pantyhose
$26
“These are perfect! They are light enough [that they’re] not hot during summer and strong enough to do their job. They keep you nice and smooth under clingy dresses and jumpers without any lines. I will definitely be buying them in black.” — Nordstrom reviewer

Sheer Control Top Tights
$8
“These pantyhose are perfect! The shine and sheen are perfect. Head-turning!” — Target reviewer
Hanes
Premium Perfect Nudes Control Top
