Tights for Women

M&S's collection covers a lot of ground: styles, colours, finishes and coverage levels for pretty much whatever the occasion calls for. There are lightweight sheer options that sit nicely under dresses and skirts, and opaque styles for when you want more coverage. Between the two, most wardrobes are covered.

You'll find everyday basics here alongside a few more fashion-forward designs, so there's room to add a stylish finishing touch when the outfit calls for it too.

Stockings for Women at M&S

This part of the range brings together a broad mix of hosiery, built around different preferences and different occasions. Whether you're after classic stockings for women or something more practical for everyday wear, comfort and fit are the starting point for all of it.

Sheer, opaque, support, footless — take your pick depending on the outfit and how much coverage you're after. With a good spread of deniers and finishes on offer, it's easy enough to find something that works whether you're dressing for the office or for something a bit more special.

Sheer Stockings

Light, elegant, and honestly a bit timeless, sheer stockings give an outfit that polished finish without much effort. They pair beautifully with dresses, skirts and occasion wear, and tend to give your legs a smooth, refined look that heavier styles just don't.

They're also a good option when you want a bit of coverage without the outfit feeling weighed down. A subtle nude works well for daytime, while darker tones lean more into evening territory.

Opaque Stockings

When you want more coverage, opaque tights do the job well. They're a natural fit for cooler days and go with almost anything, knitted dresses, skirts, tailored pieces.

That thicker finish gives a sleeker look overall and keeps you comfortable once the temperature drops. Black is the obvious wardrobe staple, but other shades can bring a bit more personality into the mix if you want it.

Hold Up Stocking

Hold up stockings are a nice alternative to standard hosiery, they stay in place on their own, no suspender belt needed, which makes them a good pick for special occasions or just when you fancy something different.

Getting the size right matters more here than with most styles, since fit is really what keeps them secure and comfortable through the day.

Footless Tights

If you like the coverage of tights but want your feet free, footless tights are the answer. They work especially well under dresses, skirts and longer tops, and pair easily with sandals, flats or any other open shoe.

They're also handy as a layering piece, flexible enough to work across different outfits and different seasons without much thought.

Support Tights

Support tights add a bit of extra comfort and structure while still giving your outfit a smooth finish underneath. They're a solid choice for long days when you're on your feet more than usual.

Worth looking for a waistband that feels comfortable rather than restrictive, and a fit that supports without pinching — you should be able to move easily and still have everything sit smoothly under your clothes.

Sheer vs Opaque: Choose Your Look

Sheer or opaque usually comes down to three things — the outfit, the weather, and how much coverage you actually want. Sheer styles give a lighter, more delicate finish and suit formal occasions or warmer days best. Opaque styles cover more and make more sense once it turns cold.

The choice changes the mood of an outfit too. Sheer tights with a dress and heels lean elegant and evening-appropriate, while opaque tights with a knitted dress and boots feel more like a cosy daytime look. If you want to have a bit of fun with it, fashion tights can bring in texture, pattern or small details that lift an otherwise simple outfit.

Why Choose Marks and Spencer for Stockings for Women?

M&S puts together hosiery with modern wardrobes in mind, different coverage levels, different support, different styles, all aimed at making it easier to find something that actually suits you.

From everyday tights to sheer stockings and the odd statement design, there's enough variety here for work, weekends, special occasions, or just an ordinary Tuesday. Thoughtful fits and a decent range of finishes mean you're not stuck choosing between "comfortable" and "right for the outfit."

Whether you lean toward barely-there sheer or fuller coverage, there's enough here to become a genuine wardrobe staple rather than a one-off buy.

If your hosiery drawer's looking a bit tired, this is a good place to refresh it, styles for different outfits, seasons and occasions, from the everyday basics to sheer styles and fuller-coverage options.

Before choosing, think about what you'll be wearing them with, how much coverage you actually need, and what fit feels comfortable to you. It's worth checking the size guide too — a well-fitting pair should sit smoothly, without slipping, digging in or feeling too tight.

It's also worth having a look at Lingerie Shapewear for pieces that pair naturally with your tights or stockings, worn together under dresses, skirts or fitted outfits, hosiery and shapewear can give you a comfortable base for almost anything, whether that's an everyday look or something a little more special.
