High end hosiery is an investment, so it makes sense that you’d want to keep it protected. Mistakes happen, but that doesn’t mean your hosiery is ruined. We want to take a look at some of the most common spills and stains, and how to get them out of your hosiery without ruining your favorites: 

• Ketchup or coffee – You’re having lunch or drinking your morning cup, and the next thing you know, you’ve got a stain on your hose. Heavily coating the stain in peroxide can help to lift it out of the fabric of your hosiery without compromising the look and quality. 

• Red wine – Spilling on yourself during a date night doesn’t have to ruin the evening. Saturate the stain in a bit of club soda and allow the fizzy bubbles to lift the red wine pigment out of your hosiery. 

• Cosmetics like lip balm or lotion – Lip balm and lotion can leave greasy stains on your clothing, including your hosiery. If you have a cosmetic mishap with an oil-based product, a bit of flour and salt sprinkled onto the stain can help to cut the stain. Be careful not to rub, as the coarse nature of the salt can damage hosiery when friction comes into play. 

• Lipstick – Lipstick is a bit different than lip balm, as you’re talking pigment alongside the oily nature of the product. With lipstick stains, gently dabbing with a baby wipe can help to lighten or completely eliminate the stain. 

Preserving your hosiery can be easier than you think, and having a spill or smudge accident doesn’t mean your favorite hosiery is ruined. With a few products on hand, you can keep your pieces looking beautiful through just about anything! For your next favorite pair, see what we have for you at Hosieree.com today. 

Bold is fun, bold is whimsical, bold is exciting – but it can also be pretty intimidating! A great bold pair of tights is a great way to insert a little excitement into your look, but if you’re feeling apprehensive, you’re definitely not alone. At Hosieree.com we want to give you a few fun ideas to play with so you can enjoy all of the bright things the bold look has to offer! 

Bold hosiery offers itself well to the maximalist trend, so that’s a great place to start if you’re looking to embrace more eccentric and free-spirited styles. Take one color from one of your bright and bold patterns, and use that color as your focal point for your tights and your footwear. For instance, a floral pattern jacket or blouse with bright red roses really pops when you pair it with our Cecilia De Rafael Sevilla Libero Seamless Glossy Pantyhose in red, and now you have a great maximalist foundation to start with. Build from there with your accessories, your footwear, and a whimsical bag for a look that’s right out of a fairytale. 

Like maximalism, bold tights are a natural fit with retro styles. Mod pops and groovy looks reminiscent of the 60s and 70s have never gone out of style, and your bold tones and hosiery fit right in. Opaque bold colored tights even make it easier to wear those short hemlines so popular with those looks, giving you some much needed coverage to make up for what a skirt or a pair of ultra-short shorts might lack. The Giulia Samba 40 Tights come in a wide array of different pop colors and their ultra-opaque nature is perfect for authentic retro fashion. Feeling a little nervous to break out the color? Stick with neutral colors in your vintage inspired outfit and let your tights do the talking! 

Monochrome looks are a perfect fit for bold hosiery, and monochrome really lets you get bold without getting too busy. For those who want to bring more pops of bright color to the office, this is the way to go. A deep green skirt and blazer looks polished with matching colored tights like the Giulia Blues 70 Opaque Tights in deep green, letting you still go bold but keeping it a little more muted to remain office-friendly. 

At Hosieree.com we want you to feel not just comfortable in bold looks, but to embrace all of the fun they have to offer. To find your next favorite bold pair of hose, see what we have at Hosieree.com today. 

Long legs have a way of giving any look an air of grace, but unfortunately, we’re not all born with them! With the right outfit and the right hosiery, faking it is no problem. 5 styling tips to elongate your legs instantaneously are: 

1. High waisted pants do the trick – For short legs and a long waist, flipping the script is as simple as a pair of high waisted pants. It shortens the waist while lengthening the legs, and when paired with a heel it gives that perfect willowy look. To bring it into the 90’s resurgence trend that’s so huge right now, pair some ripped high waisted and relaxed fit jeans with a peekaboo of fishnet tights underneath. 

2. Match your shoes with your hosiery – If you’re wearing a skirt and hosiery, but you’re not trying to go for a patterned hosiery look, there’s a simple way to elongate the leg. Pairing the color of your shoes with your hosiery gives your legs serious length. If you’re wearing nude hose, pair with a nude shoe. If you’re going big and bold with colored tights, let your shoes continue the color pop. 

3. Wear wedges or heels – One of the classic ways to give yourself a taller, longer, and leaner look is to pair your outfit with wedges or heels. For those with open toes, toeless hosiery like the Calzitaly Toeless Sheer Pantyhose with Cooling Effect lets you show off your pedicure in a stunning pair of heels without your hosiery getting in the way.  

4. Never underestimate the power of vertical lines and patterns – Patterns can be your best friend when it comes to elongating. While a horizontal stripe might not do you many favors, vertical lines certainly will. Hosiery with vertical designs like the Gabriella CORE Thigh High Stockings with a cute vertical heart pattern going down the side of each leg draw the eye up and down, giving you immediate length. 

5. Celebrate slits – A slit in a skirt or a pair of pants works much in the same way as vertical patterns. It draws the eye upward, bringing length to your look without much effort. An additional benefit of a slit? It gives a great peekaboo to highlight the hosiery you have on underneath. 

Longer and leaner can be just one simple wardrobe hack away. For the hosiery that gives you the graceful length you’re looking for, see what we have in store at Hosieree.com today.
