Breaking Down The Top Tights Trends Of 2020

Breaking Down The Top Tights Trends Of 2020

2020 has just begun, and the latest and greatest tights trends of the year are rolling in! When it comes to tights, winter is really your time to shine, but you can wear even your most opaque tights well into the spring with all of your favorite springtime outfits. If you’re gearing up to ready your tights wardrobe, a few picks we suggest prioritizing are:

  • Polka dot tights – Polka dots are expected to be absolutely massive in the fashion world in 2020, and there is no better place to embrace this trend than through hosiery. Polka dot tights can be used to make pattern-mixing seamless, to add a little flair to business wear, to add whimsical sexiness to a date night outfit, or to wear with tailored shorts to bring your favorite summer pieces into the cooler weather seasons. When pattern mixing, you can pair a small polka dot tight with a larger polka dot pattern, you can mix with striped looks, and you can do the classic pairing of polka dot tights with florals.
  • Decked out in diamonds – 2020 isn’t about the diamonds on your finger, your wrist, or your neck, it’s all about the diamonds on your legs! One huge trend we’re really loving for the new year is diamond patterned tights, which can be found textured, in diamond pattern plaids, and in diamond shaped embellishments. With florals or with sleek sophisticated looks, diamond pattern tights bring out a certain versatile retro-vintage appeal.
  • Bright colors – Color is going nowhere in terms of tights, and this year is screaming brighter is better. A throwback vintage appeal seems to be a trend across the board, with this look harking back to the mod-style of the late 1960’s. Opaque brightly colored tights are accenting mini-skirts or mini-shorts, bringing out colors in patterned tops, and meeting at the ankle with a delightful chunky bootie. Invest in brightly colored tights and get ready to perfect that eyeliner wing to really embrace the quirky fun of 2020.
  • Leopard goes nowhere – 2019 was really big on leopard prints, and this is a trend that is rolling right over into this year. If you haven’t invested in a great pair of leopard tights yet, the good news is it’s not too late.

At Hosieree.com, we want to help you to embrace all of the hosiery trends of the new year. If you’re looking for the perfect pair to accent all of your 2020 styles, see what we have in store at Hosieree.com today!

Do’s and Don’ts of Lace Tights

Lace adds a touch of sexiness to any wardrobe. However, it takes a good eye to make sure you strike a balance between hot and not, and don’t go overboard. 

If you want to take the lace game out of the bedroom and into your everyday outfits, here are practical and easy ways to do so. Incorporate a touch of femme fatale and still be work-appropriate, so you can take office wear to the next level.

Go For Fine Textures

Conservative workplaces may force you to switch your finer tastes for sensible shoes. The good thing about lace tights is that they add a touch of sexy and conservative, so long as you pick the right texture.

For offices, it’s best to go with subtle and fine textures. These go well with solid colors and power dresses. Finer styles ensure that they add sexy but do not scream for attention, and won’t have HR sending you a memo on appropriate outfits.

Be Careful of Color

There are no hard or fast rules when it comes to dressing with splashes of color as long as you know the complements with the contrasts and make them work to your advantage. However, when it comes to tights and hosiery, it may be better to stick with colors that complement so your legs will not stand out too much to break the composition of your OOTD.

If you prefer clashing colors on your outfits, up your shade game and distinguish which shade of two clashing colors works best. While vivid yellow and bright violet can bring an abstract vibe to your outfit, picking mustard yellow and a darker violet would hold a more sophisticated shade.

Make your knowledge of color work to your advantage when picking out your next pair of textured tights.

Pick the Right Hemline 

A common short girl problem is whether textured tights would look great on them. The long-legged are blessed because they can showcase nice lace tights and make the pattern work to make their legs even longer and slimmer. 

The same can work for any petite women as long as you pick the right hemline for your dress or skirt. Try to pair a nicely designed pair of tights with a hemline that shows off your legs. The good thing about pairing tights with skirts is that even if you go for a shorter length, you can still go for a coy but conservative look with the right pair of tights.

Knowing the right pair of pumps or kickers also does the trick. Sometimes, it can work with boots, but if you pair plain dresses or skirts with textured tights, to break the monotonous pattern. Opting for pumps gives the slight advantage of letting the texture of the tights speak for itself and highlight your gams.

Hoiseree holds a wide array of textured lace tights. Check out which design works well with your daily office or date outfits, and try on a pair.

Go Classy for Classics: Pairing Classy Hosiery with Classic Blue Outfits

Go Classy for Classics: Pairing Classy Hosiery with Classic Blue Outfits

The year 2020’s pantone color of the year is classic blue. As fashion and design goes back to the classics, this is a nice time to explore your style in the same direction. 

Whip out some of your classic blue outfits or add touches of blue to your wardrobe that will keep you on trend for the coming season. Best of all, classic blue can be a regal but also playful color—and what better way to up the ante than adding the classy classic hosiery to finish your outfits?

Check out these three ways to wear blue outfits with hosiery for next year’s fashion season.

Classic and Formal Wear

Just because bare legs at cocktail parties are already on-trend does not mean you cannot bring back the appeal of pantyhose at the next formal gathering. Tights can give a dash of oomph to your outfit, especially when paired with a darker shade of blue for your dress.

This works particularly for evening events, as a pair of black pantyhose with a dress gives it a more formal vibe, and elevates the mini dress into a fabulous and fancy affair.

The Classic Office On-trend Look

Who says dresses can’t be power suits? Unleash your stylish femme fatale by pairing classic black tights with blue dresses or skirts in the office. Tights can that one factor that transforms a look from boring to business in one fell swoop.

There are two ways to go about this. You can opt for neutral tights, which will create a smooth, matte finish for your gams and highlight a classic blue outfit. Another way is to create a slight contrast with black tights and pumps paired with a blue dress or a power suit with a pencil skirt, if you really, really mean business as usual.

The Playful Navy Dress

The navy dress can be a Sunday wear or an after-office stylish look. You can pull off both looks by pairing the right type of hosiery with the dress on each occasion.

Colored tights can bring a playful contrast, whether you opt for a burgundy pair or a classic white or cream combo. The former will have a very trendy look, while the latter has a touch of a classic sailor look.

Lace tights also work wonders with a navy dress. Pair a plain navy one piece with textured lace tights and finish it off with sleek black pumps for a party-ready look.

How to Rock the Formal Wear With Hosiery

How to Rock the Formal Wear With Hosiery

Attending a wedding but don’t feel like buying a new cocktail dress? You’re not alone in this issue! We understand the importance of always looking your best but also balancing your expenses when it comes to having a perfect wedding attire.

Instead of buying a new dress to wear, why not focus on wearing an old dress differently? One way to spice up your formal wear is to add hosiery to the overall look. Check out these three tips which can help tide you and your old trusty black cocktail dress over for your next formal event.

Cocktails and Prints

A staple approach to wearing hosiery with cocktail dresses is to have either black tights or textured tights. This gives that little black dress an extra oomph for style.

For the more practical ones, pairing black tights with a dress also acts as a safety blanket. No need to worry about that updraft, if you have a nice pantyhose.

When wearing a cocktail dress, try to experiment with lacy tights or a textured hosiery. With the right design, you can teeter the border between edgy and sexy—and this is a nice combo you may want to aim for.

Fashion Fit For a Princess

Ever looked at Princess Kate Middleton and think that she looks unbelievably classy in whatever she wears? A great fashion sense may be a big part of it, but one reason that contributes to it is her preference for nude pantyhose. 

While it takes some guts and style to pull off royalty fashion, it is possible, as long as you understand when to use it and how to pair it well with your outfit. Nude pantyhose is a nice touch that could keep your legs warm without interfering with your fashion sensibilities. Just remember to try and keep it as close to your skin tone, especially for a more formal ensemble.

Tights and Pantyhose with Open-Toed Shoes?

In fashion, hosiery is meant to give outfits a fun twist, especially the lacy and textured styles. However, you may have to deal with the age-old fashion debate: do I wear tights or pantyhose with open-toed shoes or not?

The verdict lies more with your fashion taste and the occasion. There are some cases when this combination would be off, particularly when using nude color options. Unless you are using pantyhose for practical purposes, including protection from cold temperature or a good cover for varicose veins, it may be a good idea to skip the nude hosiery if you’re rocking an open-toed kicker.

However, colored pantyhose is a different matter. If your style is edgy—think of an all-red ensemble paired with a black pantyhose—then this can definitely work.

Check out some of the unique styles that Hosieree carries. Make sure to find your size—we’ll help you using our trusty size charts!—and revamp your style for an edgy, classy look with hosiery.

How to Wear Tights With Different Shoe Styles

How to Wear Tights With Different Shoe Styles

How many types of shoes do you have in your wardrobe? Between heels and boots, you probably have at least five different shoe types. You might be surprised that you can actually wear all of them with your favorite tights, if you only know how to mix them together in a chic yet seamless manner.

Read on to know how you can make the most of both your shoes and tights!

1. Tights With Heels

If you have some plain high heels, you can pair them dark tights with a wee bit of shimmer, like our Diamond Shimmering Fashion Tights. If your heels are textured, such as suede, you can opt for a flat or semi-opaque pair, like our Cortina 40- Semi-Opaque Tights in Bright Colors.

2. Tights With Mary Janes

Mary Jane shoes are not only cute. They also provide extra security. They are also great for any occasion and setting, whether for formal events or a normal day at the office.

If you’re wearing your Mary Janes, make sure you choose a pair of tights that’s within the same color palette as your shoes. For instance, if you have a glossy black pair of Mary Jane shoes, you can wear a pair of gray tights with it, such as our Arctic 500 Microfiber Tights in Grey. You can also go for a black sheer one, such as these Intrigante Tulle Thigh Highs.

3. Tights With Open-Toes

If you think that you couldn’t wear tights and open-toe shoes together, think again. One of the best ways to wear open-toe shoes with tights is to choose a pair of thick, opaque tights that’s a shade lighter than your shoes. This way, your toes will still show, albeit covered.

For example, if you’re wearing black open-toe heels, pair it with a dark-smoke thick tights, such as our Bellissima K2 300 Den 3D Microfiber Tights.

4. Tights With Boots

Whether you’re wearing your tights with ankle, knee-high, or thigh-high boots, the key is to ensure contrast in terms of texture. If you’re wearing glossy boots, then you should opt for matte, opaque tights. It’s best to go for plain tights, so that your ensemble won’t be too much to the eyes. Our Cortina 100- 3D Opaque Tights are sure to do the job right.

By the way, it’s not only the shoes that you should look at when planning your outfit. You should also make sure that your top or dress goes well with your tights and shoes.

Furthermore, you should also wear socks for extra warmth. You can wear them over or under your tights depending on your outfit idea. You can wear an elegant knee-high such as our Casual 20- Elegant Knee-Highs and Diagonal 70 Fashion Knee-Highs, or these basic Cotton Liners Sport Socks.

How to Properly Care for Fine Hosiery

How to Properly Care for Fine Hosiery

Tights, leggings, pantyhose, and stockings are some of the essential clothing pieces for cold weather. They are particularly helpful in creating a layered ensemble that’s not only warm and comfortable, but chic and stylish, too.

You surely love your Hosierre.com hosiery and we know that you want to make them last. Since you’re likely to find yourself using them more often this season, we thought we’d share with you some essential care and maintenance tips that will help you enjoy your treasured hosiery longer.

1. Know when and how to wash.

Let’s make this clear: you don’t have to wash your hosiery after every wear. If they don’t get soiled, you can wear them up to three times before washing. This is particularly the case during winter, when you don’t really sweat a lot.

Think about your tights and leggings as though they are pants. Let’s be real here. How often do you wash your pants and jeans, really?

For hosiery, the less you wash, the better, because they will last longer. As long as they don’t smell and they aren’t stained, you can wear them one or two times more before washing.

Furthermore, you should know how to wash them properly. Here at Hosierre.com, we recommend hand washing and refrain from wringing them. Simply hang them by the band to make sure that they retain their shape.

2. Know how to handle them.

Fine hosiery is delicate and you need to handle and wear them with as much care as possible. When handling and wearing your hosiery, make sure your toe and fingernails do not have rough edges. It’s also best to remove jewelry before wearing tights, stocking, or pantyhose. Make sure you remove them with care, too.

3. Know how to store them.

Hosiery are not like school socks that you can roll into a ball. Fold your hosiery in half, with one leg over the other. Then, fold in half once more before putting them neatly in a drawer. Storing hosiery this way will help preserve the fibers.

This coming holiday season, you will probably go to a number of gatherings and parties. You don’t have to stress yourself out thinking about what to wear each time you’re going out. With the right bottoms, mixing and matching will be a breeze!

Many think that leggings and tights are too casual to wear to events, but there’s actually a lot of ways you can make it fun and chic. Here are five classy and easy ways to wear leggings and tights this coming holiday.

1. Go Metallic

Match a winter legging, like our 3D Winter Leggings with a sparkly, metallic tunic. It’s best if you’d go monochromatic, with the sparkly and metallic fibers of your top serving as the highlight of your outfit. You can finish your look with an equally captivating dangling or chandelier earrings, and knee-high suede boots from the same color palette. A velvet bag will also go well with this look.

2. The Classic White Shirt

A pair of leggings such as our Bellissima Leggings Push Up With Modeling Effect will go well with a crisp white shirt, preferably one that rests at the hip. Then, spice up your look with some holiday-themed accessories. Think red and gold drop earrings and a shiny red handbag.

3. From Dress to Top

Do you have a festive-colored dress that’s too short to be worn on a winter day? Get it out of the closet and wear it with a glossy pair of tights like our Black Brilliant Tights. Essentially, you’re turning the dress into a tunic and you won’t have to wait for summer to wear it. Grab some suede booties to mix up the textures of your outfit.

4. Cozy Up in a Sweater

Just because it’s cold out and you can’t go out without a sweater doesn’t mean you can’t be chic and fab. For instance, you can pair our Artica 120 Tights in Wool and Cotton with your favorite turtleneck sweater. If you’re still feeling cold, a pair of knee-high boots can add extra warmth. Make sure you accessorize with statement earrings.

Mastering 2019’s Biggest Trend

Mastering 2019’s Biggest Trend

If you’ve been around any department store or read any fashion magazine during the year 2019, you’ve probably seen this year’s biggest trend – animal prints. Sure, animal prints never truly go out of style, but their full resurgence comes in and out of fashion as the years go by. For 2019, we’re in an animal print year full-swing, and we at Hosieree.com have just the hosiery you need to really maximize your wild style.

Animal prints can be explored and enjoyed in so many different ways. A simple leopard jacket is a removable way to wear your animal print, a skirt is a bold way to show it off, but we want to focus on how you can wear your animal print hosiery to really trademark this animal print look for yourself. What we love most about animal print hosiery is its sexy subtlety, and how you can play it up or play it down to go into any possible situation. You can mix animal print hosiery with a mini skirt for a date night out that oozes sex appeal, or you can wear animal print tights with a knee-length skirt to make it appropriate for the office. If you can dream it, you can do it with animal print.

Our Fashion Tights Caty are a classic example of your quintessential animal print. They’re a perfect basic leopard that can be dressed up, dressed down, turned into something rock n’ roll, or put into an elegant context.

White Hosiery Is The Statement Trend Of Fall 2019

White Hosiery Is The Statement Trend Of Fall 2019

For fall and winter 2019, you might think you have your hosiery wardrobe stocked. You have patterns, you have opaque black, you have sheer nudes, but have you considered white? White hosiery often brings back the memories of Sunday dresses and Mary Jane shoes you wore as a little girl, but white hosiery is actually so much more than that. One of the most surprising trends coming into fall and winter 2019 is white hosiery, and this comes with a chicness many didn’t even know existed.

Statement hosiery has been a big deal for several years now. We’ve seen embellished tights with crystals or embroidery, we’ve seen edgy looks with fishnet, and we’ve seen color blocking trends expanded with the incorporation of brightly colored hose. However, white hosiery makes a statement of the statement, invoking looks like those popular on high fashion models during the 1960’s as well as some updated trends for the 21st century.

One way this trend is being embraced is with the retro look. One really excellent thing about rocking retro is that it never seems to go out of style. If you’re looking to invest in wardrobe pieces, like hosiery, going with something classic and vintage-inspired is likely to last the tests of time. White tights are being paired with patterned mini skirts and high-hemline shift dresses. As for footwear, chunky heels with an open toe is a great way to add in a little funkiness, while booties are a safer and always trendy option.

If you’re looking to bring this look into the 21st century with a more modern approach, try pairing your white hosiery with a light colored tailored short. These shorts are usually put away after the summer season ends, but white hosiery gives you a new way to wear them all the way into winter. For something extra chic, add a blazer in a complementing light color to your look with a closed-toe classic sky-high pump.

White hosiery is a part of the hosiery world you might be missing out on, and there are plenty of grown-up ways to wear white hosiery that add something entirely new to your wardrobe. If you’re looking for the perfect white hose to try this 2019 trend for yourself, we have just what you need at Hosieree.com!
