Pantyhose Magazine Finn - Cover

Pantyhose Fashion Magazine

The third Finn issue of Pantyhose Magazine, titled Zest, explores color, confidence, and modern femininity through the lens of legwear. This edition highlights how tights can transform not only an outfit but also the mood of the wearer, turning simplicity into style and everyday looks into statements. With striking photography, thoughtful styling, and a focus on creative expression, Zest captures the fresh energy and elegance that define today’s pantyhose culture.

Back when this website was still named Pantyhose Party we were featured on the third issue of FINN Magazine in their recommended legwear websites section. They were also really kind to send us a copy of the magazine which is now a cherished item at the office and one that our guests love to flip through.

FINN Magazine is an awesome magazine for legwear enthusiasts printed in high quality glossy paper which features beautiful tasteful photographs of models in tights and also really interesting related articles.

The featured article of this month is about the American photographer Howard Chu, which was kind enough to send us two copies of his Pantyhose magazine sometime ago. It was a really interesting read which enabled us to get to know more about his personal life and the evolution of his work in the realm of legwear photography.

(This magazine’s website as since been shutdown and we believe no further issues of FINN have been released since then)

This is the actual page: a two-line write-up next to a thumbnail of the old site, sitting right alongside Vintage Stockings Archive in the magazine’s list of recommended legwear sites. Small mention, but seeing the site described in print for the first time was a genuinely nice surprise.

Zest leans into a playful, retro mood throughout, and this spread is a good example: warm reds, a pin-up pose, and sheer tights doing exactly what they do best against a saturated backdrop.

Not every shot in the issue is polished studio work — several, like this one, go for a rougher, candid feel: opaque black tights, worn-in sneakers, and a staircase instead of a set.

A quieter, more textural page: sand, tulle, and glitter, with the legwear taking a back seat to mood for once.

A softer, more romantic spread: a sparkling black tulle headpiece and an off-shoulder dress set against beach sand

White opaque tights paired with black-and-white sneakers — a simple combination, but one of the pairings that’s stuck with us since first flipping through this issue.
