One of the best things
about a pair of stockings is that they can combine style with comfort.
This can make you feel more stylish, confident, and sexy all at the same
time. However, a big part of feeling great in your stockings is to
choose the pair that is the right style for your legs. Women
hosiery
comes in a wide range of different styles, from
ultra sheer hosiery to opaque
tights and more. With garments that have built in control for your body
type, such as control top tights, you can give yourself a slim
silhouette and look better under the rest of your clothing. There are a
few guidelines to keep in mind to ensure that you select the right pair
to flatter your figure.
For those with skinny legs, it’s best to
add some volume to your lean legs with texture. You could choose print
tights (Michel, Life), ribbed tights (Dora), or other tights with a rich texture (Variette ) that will
fill out your legs. Tights with a bit of shimmer on them are a good
women hosiery option for skinny legs, because they will create an
optical illusion that you have more volume. On the other hand, if you
wish to have leaner and longer legs, you will want to choose the type of
fashion hosiery that has a slimming effect (Snellente, Top ). This could include support
stockings (Folie70) , control top tights (Boxer, Panty Bra), and vertical (M150, Ofelia) details, for example.
Other
types of slimming women’s hosiery includes tights that are dark in
color or those that blend into your footwear to make your legs look
longer and leaner. Nylons with a vertical backseam (Brigitte Rigo, Et Class, San Remo) will also do this for
you, or leggings that end right above your ankles (Ambra, Leggings Long, Mouse). It’s all about
creating the perfect proportions for your height. Ladies who wish to
hide skin imperfections will love all of the options out there in the
hosiery department. If you have stretch marks, spider veins, or razor
bumps, for example, you can cover them up with sheer hosiery in neutral
colors. No one will know what is underneath.
When it’s too hot to
wear regular women hosiery, you can still hide these imperfections by
choosing semi-opaque (Cortina40, Mito20, Onix40) or sheer hosiery (Brazil 15, Velato 15, Nacar Nudo15), or even ultra-sheer (Aura 5, Freedom 7, Fresh 8), pantyhose for
the lightest look and feel. This still allows you to wear a
conservative skirt to work, but look your best with the help of a little
bit of shimmer. By choosing the right type of stockings for your legs
and personal style, you can ensure that you look and feel your best.
