Looking to add some old-time glamor to your wardrobe? Seamed stockings easily bring 19th century charm into this day and age. Originally, seamed stockings only came to be as a result of the first knitting machines that weren’t yet advanced enough to create smooth tights in one piece. When modifications were made to these machines, it partially caused the liberation of ladies’ legs everywhere and those sultry seams disappeared! Now, that vintage allure is back with many women appreciating such a style. 

Those old knitting machines aren’t the only things that have changed. Seamed stockings have developed beyond the sexy but simple black line traveling the back of a woman’s thigh and calf. Experimenting with the world of dyes and tints, some tights feature different colored seams, like red, and flesh tone. These unique seams stand out against contrasting base colors from nude to black. This look can be found in Esprit Couture Bicolor tights, Desiree Rigo Stay Ups and Brigette Rigo Pantyhose. 

Another new design in seamed pantyhose is the addition of the pyramid-shaped heel. The seam eases down from behind the thigh and widens toward the heel like a peek behind a curtain or a tent. Not only is this design creative, but it’s also edgy, creating a great look for parties. Speaking of parties, this next look really works for the night scene. The Cristal Fishnet Pattern Pantyhose have a back-seam that’s interrupted every inch or so by a lovely sparkling crystal. It’s just a tiny bit flashy with a sense of sophistication. 

The seamed stocking is a past trend in hosiery that looks like it’s ever changing and not fizzling out. However, if none of the modified, updated styles tickled your fancy, you can always feel free to stick to the original sheer black tights with one classic back-seam. This design always works for a fun night of dancing at the lounge or even a dinner date with a special guy. If you’re a fashion risk taker, there are plenty of seamed styles and colors at your disposal and one is guaranteed to fit you uniquely!
