The Dos and Don’ts Of Putting Your Tights On

So you’ve bought a new pair of tights and you’re excited to put them on. Allow us to stop you there for a minute.

Even if you have the best European-made hosiery like the ones we offer at Hosieree.com, you still need to be more careful in handling them, especially if you’ve gone for tights with a lower denier like the Angel 15 Seamless Tights. The lower the denier, the more delicate the fabric will be.

If you want your tights to last longer, you need to take care of them properly. Here are the dos and don’ts to remember when you’re putting on your tights:

Dos:

  • Make sure your tights are the right size. Before even putting them on, make sure that the size you purchased will fit you properly. Hosieree.com has size charts for every pair of hose so you can pick the one that’s right for you.
  • Prevent snags on fingernails. Make sure your fingers are trimmed. You can even go further by using hand lotion to ensure that your fingers will not snag your legwear. The last thing you want to do is to accidentally rip your tights.
  • Treat your feet right. Good hosiery care starts with good foot care. Since your feet will come in contact with the material, make sure your toenails are not long or sharp by trimming them. Just like with your fingers, use a good-quality body lotion to make your feet soft. This will help avoid premature laddering.
  • Handle your tights with love. We know you’re excited about the newest addition to your wardrobe, but please take great care of your tights when you’re pulling them out of the packet. Be extra careful so those new tights of yours will last longer.

Don’ts:

  • Stop tugging. When removing the product from its package, remember to do so gently. Gather your tights from the top to the toe carefully. Don’t pull on the fabric too hard as the material might break and you might end up with runs and tears on your tights before even having the chance to wear them.
  • Do not ever rush. Whatever you do, do not rush putting on any kind of hosiery. We know you’re busy and you probably have a lot of things to attend to, but it’s important to take some time in putting on your tights. Smooth the fabric up to your leg as you go. Here’s a guide on how to do this the right way:
    • Pull the first leg up to the knee and then the second leg.
    • After doing so, work on each leg alternatively until you get to your panty.
    • Pull your tights up gently over your buttocks and stomach.
    • Leave enough room in the toe area.

We all know that hosiery doesn’t last forever, but we can try to preserve it to get the most out of them. You can only do this by taking good care of them. Care for your tights and other hosiery items as if you’re caring for your skin. You’ll be glad you did.

Cool and versatile, opaque tights give an extra touch of fun to your overall look. Some great colors to own include navy, black, brown, and solid grey as these pair well with any dress or skirt.

The key to wearing opaque tights is experimentation! Mix and match items until you get that perfect balance of colors in your outfit.

Types Of Hosiery And How They Differ From Each Other

Types Of Hosiery And How They Differ From Each Other

At Hosieree.com, we have all kinds of hosiery in our huge product selection. However, those who are new to legwear may find themselves confused at first. Stockings? Pantyhose? Leggings? Tights? What’s with all the terms, and what do they mean?

Collectively, those are all hosiery items. And if you don’t know what hosiery means, it’s simply the garments we wear directly on our feet and legs.

There’s a lot of confusion between those terms, and they’re sometimes mistakenly interchanged. After all, they appear so similar to each other. That’s why we have created a simple guide to help you easily differentiate one from the other.

Stockings

Stockings are footed, tight-fitting garments that are worn just above the knee or mid-thigh with suspender belts to keep them from falling down. They are often sold with hold-ups or stay-ups that provide a suspender belt free option.

Traditionally, stockings are sheer, though there are modern iterations of stockings that feature trendy prints, patterns, and details such as that in Secret, mod.8 Classic Stockings.

Stockings are easy to wear, but aside from their functionality, they can double as stunning lingerie you can wear to feel confident about yourself or to allure that special someone.

What’s great about stockings is that they’re generally more comfortable to wear than tights as they are less restrictive.

Tights

Tights cover a lot more skin than stockings do as they cover the toes all the way up to the waist without any interruptions. However, compared to pantyhose, they are generally thicker as they have a denier of 40 to 100.

In terms of styling tights, they’re slightly more versatile than stockings as they can be worn under shorts, skirts, and dresses. The great thing about tights is that they can come in a variety of fabrics, styles, and patterns. A great example of a pair of patterned tights is Afina 40 Fashion Tights.

Tights are easy to put on with any outfit. Furthermore, they can be used to hide imperfections on the legs for that extra boost of confidence.

Pantyhose

Pantyhose are often mistaken for tights as they both stretch from one’s feet up to one’s waistline. However, the big difference is that pantyhose are the thinnest of all hosiery items, with a denier of 8 to 30.

Pantyhose such as the Acapulco 7 Non-slip Sole Pantyhose are perfect for that bare leg effect meant to enhance the natural beauty of your leg.

Styling Bold Statement Tights

If you’re feeling fearless about your fashion choices today, might we suggest making a bold statement through eccentric yet elegant tights? From a pop of color to weird patterns, coming up with ways to add statement tights to your ensemble isn’t as tricky as you think.

Tights are absolutely versatile. And wearing black opaque tights every day can get quite boring—it’s time to let your creativity shine through! Adding a little bit of your personality into your wardrobe won’t hurt anybody.

Adding A Touch Of Color

It is so tempting to stick with the basics: nude and black. But you have to let loose once in a while. Bring out your best dress in a neutral hue or your cute, little denim skirt and pair it with Cortina Tights in Petalo, Soleil, or Tropical, whichever compliments your style well.

Putting on those bold colors will make you feel more confident about yourself. Show the world how flexible your wardrobe is.

Get Wild

Animal prints will forever be chic, no matter what other people say. You might think they’re too bold, but hear us out. You just have to make them the star. Give them the spotlight, and you’ll be able to pull them off with ease.

Pairing your Leopard Opaque Fashion Leggings with a solid top or a sexy leather jacket is a surefire way to make heads turn wherever you go. It’s a sassy yet gorgeous combo!

Fun Yet Formal

Want to inject fun into your formal outfits without losing their formality? Make a statement at any party or romantic dinner by paring Rox Geometric Pattern Tights with a simple top. These tights will make your whole ensemble look extra fancy.

If you want to show off your favorite little black dress, try pairing it with Argo Fashion Tights by Trasparenze. That floral pattern will allow you to show off the beauty of your legs.

A Little Witchy

You don’t have to wait for Halloween to use these bad boys. Paired with a solid-colored dress, Tarantula Fashion Tights by Adrian will bring out your inner wickedness. They may be a bit unusual, but they’ll have you standing out in the crowd any day of the year.

Statement tights are all about having fun and bringing your creativity to life. They challenge you to think outside of the box and be more playful with your styling.

Now while it’s great to follow the latest trend or even start your own, don’t compromise the quality of the tights you’re going to get. We at Hosieree.com offer only top-quality European hosiery that’s perfect for your wardrobe. Check out our wide product selection at Hosieree.com today.
