Hosiery brand Charnos is releasing XeLence – a line of hosiery specially designed for the plus-size fashionista.

This range was created after carrying out extensive research, defying the standard, limiting sizing range of S, M, L and XL. With 51% of women never wearing hosiery due to a poor fit, XeLence have found the solution by creating a line of hosiery designed for sizes 16-32. This line really caters for the curvier woman, providing a range of fashionable designs in both tights and knee highs.

Using Invista yarns and LYCRA® XCEPTIONELLE technology, XeLence is “custom-made for curves,” accommodating a fuller figure, ensuring that their products are not too tight, or even too saggy. With LYCRA ® SOFT COMFORT fibres in their non-conventional waistband, you can be sure that the XeLence range won’t dig into your skin and give you an elastic band feel, the way many ordinary hosiery products can do.

XeLence have also targeted another common problem of hosiery feeling too tight on the legs, by using sheer yarns to reduce tightness in wear, keeping you cool and creating a smooth line underneath your clothing.

All in all, XeLence have created an innovative product, tackling a long-lasting problem for many women out there.  XeLence provide the support, designs and variety for the curvier lady that was lacking in the existing hosiery market. The collection comes in a variety of denier, ranging from 15 – 50, so there is something for everybody and for every occasion.
