Is there any flattering pantyhose that isn't control-top? Clothing manufacturers still seem to be under the impression that women who want to look good can't stand the idea of being comfortable as well. [More:]

All I want to do is wear pantyhose that look nice and still be able to take an actual breath every once in a while. I don't want the old-lady kind that has no sheen or smoothness. Neither do I want the almost-bare kind that shows every bruise etc. on your pale legs. And then I wear a small/size A, which makes it even harder to find. I'm going on job interviews, and I would like to breathe on said interviews and look professional as well. (I would have posted this on Metafilter, but the last time I posted something I couldn't post again for TWO WHOLE WEEKS and that got me paranoid about posting anything but the most life-or-death dilemmas. If I get no help here on this one, at least I can go to Macy's or someplace and hopefully the sales clerk will be able to help me out.)
Sorry for forgetting to use the "More Inside" button.

Try Hue brand -- I think they have non-control top. And it's very sheer.

I've had success with Donna Karan nudes, but shoot, they're control top! I didn't notice, they're not uncomfortable as far as pantyhose go.

Maybe this will help you narrow down some brands: Non-Control Top Pantyhose.

Duh! Sheer-to-waist DK.

i second Hue. When i use to wear pantyhose all the time, i would live in those things, the thicker opaques as leggings, and they were both durable and comfortable.

Though the control-top Hue does suck -- I grabbed those without thinking the other day and they are torture.

But I'm 99% sure they had sheer-to-waist versions.

serena, you may want to nix my suggestion all together. DK may be too sheer. My head isn't right today.
