Stockings for Women: Skin Colour, Black, Winter & Fishnet

Stockings that actually match Indian skin tones and survive daily wear. Our anti-scratch stretchable stockings use a tear-resistant knit with a silicone grip band that stays put from morning meetings to evening functions, in Skin and Black, sizes XS to 5XL. For winter, the fleece-lined thermal stockings look sheer but keep you warm, and fishnet pantyhose add an edge to any outfit.

What makes a stocking last in India

Heat, humidity and rough surfaces are what kill stockings here. Ours use a denser, tear-resistant knit that resists nail snags and auto seats, a silicone band at the waist instead of a thin elastic that rolls, and real sizes from XS to 5XL so the fabric is never stretched thin. Roll them on from the toe, hand wash cold and dry in shade, and a pair lasts weeks of daily wear rather than one evening.

Which shade

Skin is a warm, medium nude chosen for Indian complexions: it evens the leg without looking like a separate layer. Black is the choice for contrast, winter and office. The two-pack lets you keep one of each.

Pair them with shapewear or save with a combo set.

The words mean almost the same thing in India

Most shoppers use stockings, pantyhose and tights for the same thing: a full-length leg covering that goes up to the waist. Strictly, pantyhose are sheer and waist-high, tights are thicker and opaque, and stockings stop at the thigh. Shapify's anti-scratch stretchable stockings are waist-high and sheer, so they are pantyhose in the strict sense, with no garter or thigh band to hold up. The full comparison is in stockings vs tights vs pantyhose.

Skin colour or black stockings

Skin colour stockings give an even, bare-leg finish under office skirts, dresses and sheer sarees. Black stockings are the choice for contrast, evening looks and winter outfits with boots. The two-pair pack comes as 2 skin, 2 black or 1 of each. See black vs skin colour stockings.

Plus size stockings that are not stretched thin

Larger sizes are cut larger rather than stretched further, so the knit keeps the same feel from XS to 5XL. Measure your waist and hips and use the stockings size guide; if you are between sizes, choose the larger one.

Winter and fishnet stockings

For December and January, the fleece-lined winter stockings look sheer outside and feel warm inside. Fishnet stockings add texture to skirts, shorts and Indo-western looks; check availability on the product page.
