It's almost here! Plus size hosiery that's custom made to fit your curves!


plus size hosiery
Whilst attending a preview for the beautiful new designs from Jonathan Aston and Charnos (see the exclusive preview in our Shopped til' we dropped post), we were so excited to see and hear about the new Charnos XeLence range. The gorgeous XeLence range provides custom designed plus size hosiery with a supreme comfort fit, for women up to a size 32.

After carrying out extensive surveys, Charnos discovered that 70% of curvaceous ladies found 'XL' tights to be ill fitting on the legs, with an uncomfortable back panel, that is visible through clothes. 46% said that the waistband is 'like an elastic band leaving unsightly red marks', the sizing is confusing and fashion or patterned tights just do not fit. Sadly 51% said that they no longer attempt to wear hosiery because of a combination of these reasons.

With all of these factors in mind, rather than just making an existing product bigger, Charnos have completely changed the proportions and construction of their plus size tights to fit all sizes like a glove! The Charnos XeLence range currently offer black and natural sheer tights, opaque's, spot tights and knee highs. They have also promised that the range will hopefully continue to grow. Comfort, practicality and of course fashion, all prove to be a winning formula for this amazing fashion revelation! Here's the patented science behind the lines style and comfort-

Shopped 'til we dropped! Jonathan Aston, Charnos, Levante new season!

Essex'ee Legs were invited along to view the new season styles from Jonathan Aston, Levante and Charnos. Dressed for the occasion in our heels and Jonathan Aston hosiery, off we trotted in the sunshine to the exclusive sneak peak in Cavendish Square, Oxford Street.

Inside was a treasure trove of gorgeous new prints and styles...

This made it very difficult to pick what we wanted to add to our growing, collection of hosiery. After much deliberation, over some delicious chocolate brownies, we finally made some decisions and began shopping!

We are now excitedly awaiting the arrival of a diverse range of funky print tights, unique fashion tights, delicate flower hold ups and over the knee tights, plus lace leggings, colour tights and more. The new collection will begin to arrive from December, with gorgeous new arrivals continuing through to March. Feast your eyes on some of the new designs...

Charnos have also designed a range of plus size tights and socks that we are very excited about. The new Xelence range is designed with both comfort and fashion in mind to flatter womens curves. The collection will be available in sizes 16 up to 32 and will be featured later in the blog, and available from our website as soon as we receive them!  

Keep your eyes peeled for all of our gorgeous new arrivals ladies! :)

For our outing I wore Office pointed suede courts, a daisy print tea dress from Asos and Jonathan Aston Opaque Back Seam Tights which have either a grey or red seam. Anne wore Jonathan Aston Back Seam and Heel Hold Ups and a poppy print tea dress from M&Co. Both available now at Essex'ee Legs.
