WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hanes Hosiery, America’s #1 hosiery brand(1), is introducing a revolutionary new concept in perfect-match sheer hosiery - Perfect Nudes™. The collection, launching at Macy’s, Kohl’s, Dillard’s, Amazon and other department stores, comes in three modern styles and is offered in six perfect-match natural skintone shades to create a Foundation Finish for Your Legs™. The core hosiery shade of black, suitable for all skintones, is also offered. All three styles and seven shades are available in sizes small through size 5/6 X.
As a global leader in the category, Hanes Hosiery provides product solutions for all women and continues to utilize cutting-edge innovation with the latest technology. The Perfect Nudes™ collection features COMFORT FLEX™ knitting, designed to be tighter in the front with ultra-stretch in the back, allowing for a more anatomically correct garment that shapes the body and provides optimal comfort. Additionally, the Perfect Nudes™ collection features an ultra-sheer yarn that is soft to the touch and utilizes run resistant technology – designed to resist runs. The combination creates a beautiful look that is both sheer and durable.
“The Perfect Nudes™ collection will change the way people think about nude hosiery,” said Tricia Bouras, vice president and general manager at HanesBrands. “In developing the Foundation Finish for Your Legs™ concept, we looked at the substantial strength of the ‘nudes’ color concept in the beauty industry and the shades of nude that are inclusive of all women. Furthermore, our research uncovered that there are universal product expectations for cosmetics and sheer hosiery – both should provide a natural, lightweight, breathable and comfortable feel.”
The Perfect Nudes™ design features wicking technology with cool comfort® knitting in the panty and legs and a flat-toe seam for all-day comfort. The updated modern rise with an integrated comfort waistband provides a smoother body contour and tummy control. The collection is offered in nude shades 1-6, plus true black in three styles: Girl Short, Sheer to Waist and a Micro Net Girl Short. MSRP is $12 a pair or $30 for three.
