While a great pair of hosiery is classic, it never has to be predictable. By thinking a little outside of the box, hosiery can be lifted to a whole other level within your wardrobe. 5 unconventional ways to wear hosiery are:

1. Mix casual with boudoir – Thigh highs and seriously sexy hosiery can be a challenge for some when it comes to bringing these pieces into their everyday wardrobe. One unconventional and high fashion way to do it is by mixing them with casual pieces, and allowing the “opposites attract” sort of style to elevate your look. One example would be to pair a cotton baby doll or tee shirt dress with thigh high hosiery like our Deluxe 20 Thigh Highs 50111.

2. Showcase your flats – Statement flats are a great way to spice up a look, and nothing frames your statement flats like an opaque pair of black tights. In the fall season in particular, try pairing your favorite pair of stand-out statement flats with your darkest hosiery, and see how the flats suddenly pop in your outfit. Feeling a bit more adventurous? Try opaque tights of a different color represented in your flats, and use them to tie the flat to the rest of your look.

3. Go grunge – Everything grunge is back again, and this means there has never been a better time for tights. Try pairing a vintage casual dress with solid colored opaque tights and combat boots or chunky shoes to take your look to a place that is delightfully on trend and perfectly 90’s retro.

4. Evening shorts – Shorts are typically considered daytime attire, but hosiery flips the switch here. Tailored shorts with opaque tights, fishnets, novelty hosiery, or colored hose, and a pair of heels that demand attention takes your daytime look right into night. To bring the 90’s grunge trend into the look, switch out the tailored shorts for distressed shorts and replace the heels with a chunky boot or block heel.

5. Add whimsy into sophistication – A sophisticated outfit focused on tailoring with neutral solid tones never goes out of fashion, but it also fails to show a whole lot of personality. Sweet small patterns on your hosiery, like dots, hearts, or floral designs can keep the sophistication going while bringing a little bit of personal flair back.
