It’s just as important to know what not to do when caring for your hosiery as it is knowing what to do, and we at Hosieree.com want to make sure that what you invest in high quality hose comes back to work for you. Whether you’re going for statement, like our Girardi Cest Chic Tights or something a bit more classic like a pair of Leg Control 40 Tights, following these few simple rules can make sure you’re caring for your hosiery in the best possible way:

• Don’t wear jewelry when putting on or caring for your hosiery – Jewelry and hosiery often don’t mix, and many women will attest to the unfortunate fact that this combination makes for quite a few last-minute wardrobe changes. Whether you’re handwashing your hosiery, preparing your hosiery to be machine washed, or simply putting them on or taking them off, make sure your jewelry is out of the way first lest you find yourself with a nasty snag or run.
• Keep away from heat – If you’re washing or drying, make sure to keep your hosiery far away from excess heat exposure. Exposure to heat will often change the shape and texture of your hosiery, either ruining it or significantly shortening its lifespan.
• Don’t always wash – It may feel like you need to wash your hosiery after each wear, but this isn’t recommended. The more you wash your hosiery, the more the fabric is like to break down, leaving you with an investment you could have enjoyed much more life from. A good rule of thumb to follow is to wash sheer hosiery every two wears, and more opaque hosiery every three wears.
• Never hang dry – Hanging your hosiery to dry might seem like the most sensible option, but this actually stretches out and misshapes your hose. Instead. Lay flat on a clean towel to dry.

Following these few simple steps can really prolong the life of your hosiery investment. If you’re looking to invest in new hosiery, check out our vast selection at Hosieree.com today!
