What to know about Wolford
Hosiery engineering, not seasonal fashion
The core is sheer tights, seamless bodysuits, knit dresses and shapewear — marketed as "skinwear" — with styles like Neon 40, Buenos Aires and Fatal running year after year.
Still made in-house in Europe
Production stays in Bregenz, Austria and Slovenia rather than being outsourced, which explains prices well above mass-market hosiery.
A house in restructuring mode
Majority-owned by Lanvin Group since 2018, Wolford saw 2025 revenue fall 14 percent to 75.6 million euros, with a new CEO installed in March 2026 to turn it around.
How Wolford fits
Overall fit
true to size
Wolford bodywear and knit pieces are widely described as tight, compressive and true to size, hugging the body closely as intended for shapewear and 'skinwear.'
Tip: Order your usual size for a snug second-skin fit; consider sizing up if you prefer less compression or have a longer torso.
