No one wants to pull out their favorite pair of hose and find they’re facing a hole or run. Whether you’re wearing your most delicate sheer hose like our Blogger 8 Ultra Sheer Pantyhose, or a heavy pair of Arctic 500 Microfiber Tights, you can always find yourself in a situation where you’re facing serious hosiery damage. We want to help you to look your best at Hosieree.com, and we know just what to do when damage strikes.

First and foremost, when you’re facing hosiery damage, clear nail polish is your new best friend. If you’re going out for a night on the town, keeping a small bottle of clear nail polish in your bag is a great idea just in case you face a tear or a snag. To fix your hosiery using this method, simply paint on the clear nail polish around the hole or the run, and this will prevent the damage from growing larger. While it may not fix your tights completely, it will ensure the damage doesn’t get worse as the night goes on.

If you’re wearing black hosiery, there’s another trick that can eliminate the look of the hole or run while you’re out and about. With opaque black hosiery, a hole or run will be pretty obvious, but you can make it less-so. By taking a non-toxic black marker and coloring the skin that would show through the run or hole, you can minimize the appearance of the damage or perhaps make the damage near-invisible. This little trick doesn’t only work with black hosiery, and a navy, green, red, or other colored marker can work just as well. While this trick may seem somewhat silly, it can save an entire look from looking flawed or shabby in just a few seconds.

No one wants to go out looking great only to come home with ruined hosiery. If your hosiery has fallen victim to holes or runs, it may be time to replenish your wardrobe. We have all the pieces you need at Hosieree.com!
