The sub-categories and degrees of pantyhose fetishism are too many to list and is in many cases combined with other fetishes or paraphilias of the fetishist (and often his partner too) so as to make an individual's preferences as with many other popular fetishes utterly unique.

A few typical examples of sub-categories perhaps would be:

a focus on certain areas of the body whilst wearing pantyhose, e.g. feet a variation of the very common
wearing pantyhose with other specific garments, e.g. shoes, boots, or skirts, uniforms that usually include pantyhose (girl at work, secretary, flight stewardess, policewoman, Hooters waitress, girl next door etc.,)
certain styles eg. sheer-to-waist, opaque, patterned or specific deniers; certain brands or shades,
simply admiring women who wear pantyhose (a mild form of voyeurism),
finding the wearing of them to be a primarily sensual comforting experience, rather than sexual.
The pantyhosed covered foot can be extremely arousing to men who often find satisfaction in just looking at or more in that of rubbing, sucking/licking, and massage of the penis with the feet. Sniffing can sometimes be linked. Footjobs can be very intense and stimulating and covering a woman in pantyhose in semen is a common fantasy with some men. Pantyhose fetish can also be linked to that of the women dressing as the schoolgirl where stockings, knee high socks and pantyhose can be worn with a short skirt.

The act of purchasing pantyhose, especially when aided by a female assistant, can also generate a degree of arousal
