A method for producing men's or women's hosiery items with hold-up effect, particularly with circular hosiery knitting machines and a hosiery item obtained with the method, comprising a step of forming the foot (2) and leg (3) of the hosiery item and, before or after the step of forming the foot and leg of the hosiery item, a step for forming the top (4) of the hosiery item. During the formation of the top, rows of knitting (5) or portions of rows of knitting (5a) of the top (4) are formed by means of at least one bare elastomer thread. The bare elastomer thread is knitted so as to be exposed at least partially on the side of the top of the hosiery item that is designed to face the user's skin. The rows of knitting (5) or portions of rows of knitting (5a) made of bare elastomer, by protruding on the inner side of the top, increase the adhesion of the top to the skin of the user, obtaining a hold-up effect for the hosiery item.
