14 Pieces of Curve Friendly Legwear to Keep You Warm

The holidays are approaching, which means that for most of us, temperatures are about to dip low. There are plenty of layering options when it comes to full bust lingerie, including strappy bras and bodysuits.

Today I'm focusing on curve friendly legwear. It can be a great way to keep dresses and skirts in a rotation, but it’s more of a struggle if you're curvy and don't fit into core sizes. Luckily, online shopping has improved options immeasurably. Whether your idea of great layering is a fabulous pair of plain work tights or sheer over the knee socks, this list has something for you.

We talk about layering for the office a lot in these sorts of articles, but most of us know that the best layering piece in the winter is the one you hang out at home in with a t-shirt and slipper socks. These unicorn sweater leggings are adorable and soft, making them a great candidate for your new favorite layering piece.

I’ll admit that I’m biased when it comes to The Nylon Swish. I’ve known Eleanor for years and always been impressed with her devotion to vintage shapewear, so it’s not a surprise that she’s brought out the best curve-friendly vintage stockings line on the market. There are tons of colors and styles, but this dotted pair is my current favorite.

It can be hard to find colorful tights in curve friendly sizes, which is one of the reasons I love multiple hued tights that come in both regular and plus sizes. They come in fun autumn colors to add to your wardrobe.

These tights have the comfort of thigh highs with the look and feel of tights, which is perfect for those of us who hate more traditional tights. This style of tights almost never shows up in an inclusive size range, so I’m pleased to see Glamory moving into that space.
