Finding the right size matters for comfort and fit. Use the charts below to choose your size. If you are between two sizes, we recommend sizing up.
Tights, Fishnets & Stockings
Tights are sized by height and weight. Some of our products show the size as a number (for example 1, 2 or 3): use the number in brackets in the charts below.
Two-size styles (S/M and L/XL)
| Size | Weight (kg) | Height (cm) | UK dress | EU | IT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| L/XL (2/3) | 50–75 | 150–180 | 12–18 | 38–44 | 46–50 |
Some styles also come in M-L, which sits between S-M and L-XL: choose S-M if you fall in the S (1)–M (2) range below and M-L if you fall in the M (2)–L (3) range.

Looking for body shaping tights with extra tummy control that still look like everyday sheers? Penti Shaping Tights pair sheer 15 denier legs with a high, chest-height control top that smooths the tummy, waist and hips — shapewear and tights in one, with no separate shaping short to layer.
How the shaping works
The control section is knitted with LYCRA BEAUTY fibre, which gives firm but flexible compression: it flattens and holds without the squeeze of rigid shapewear. A soft, non-slip silicone waistband sits high on the ribcage, so the top stays put and never rolls down when you sit. Below the hip the legs switch to a classic 15 denier sheer with a subtle shine and sheer-to-toe finish.
- Extra tummy control: high shaping top with LYCRA BEAUTY fibre
- Non-slip silicone waistband — no rolling, no digging
- 15 denier sheer legs, shiny finish, sheer toe
- Cotton gusset for comfort and breathability
- Composition: 78% polyamide, 21% elastane, 1% cotton
- Colours: Black, Light Nude, Nude and Bronze
- Sizes 2, 3 and 4 (EU) — see the size guide for the UK conversion
- Made in Turkey in an eco-friendly Penti factory
- Care: hand wash inside out; do not bleach, iron, dry clean or tumble dry
Shaping tights vs shapewear
Traditional shapewear adds a layer under your tights; shaping tights build the control into the tights themselves, so you get a smoother line under dresses, skirts and tailoring with one garment. The 15 denier legs look like ordinary sheers, which makes these the tummy control tights to reach for at weddings, in the office and for evening wear.

FAQs
Do shaping tights really flatten your tummy?
Yes — a high control top knitted with elastane-rich fibre compresses and smooths the stomach and hips. Expect a firmer, smoother silhouette rather than a dramatic size change, and the best result comes from wearing your true size.
Are tummy control tights comfortable all day?
Because the compression comes from a knitted LYCRA BEAUTY panel rather than rigid boning, they move with you. The silicone waistband stops the top rolling and the cotton gusset keeps them breathable.
Which size should I choose?
Go by your height and weight on the Penti size chart (2 = S/M, 3 = M/L, 4 = L/XL). Sizing up reduces the shaping effect; sizing down makes the top uncomfortable.
