How we vetted it
Vetted from Wolford's product page and retailer listings. Wolford doesn't publish the fabric blend for this style online, and owner reviews are few, so we've stuck to what the brand states. We haven't worn them.
What works well
At 8 denier, Nude 8 is made to look like bare skin with a little polish. The lace band keeps them up by itself, so there's no garter belt or suspender to fuss with. The toe isn't reinforced, so they disappear under open-toe heels, sizes run from XS to L, and Wolford notes a more sustainable dyeing process.
Why we chose it
- Barely-there sheer finish
- Lace band, no garter belt needed
- Sandal toe
- Sustainable dyeing
In your room
Nude stay-ups with heels and very little else is a classic for a reason. Under warm lamplight the lace band is the detail people notice. They pair easily with a robe, a bodysuit or an oversized shirt.
