Legwear Trend Forecast for the Fall and Winter: What to Expect

1 Comment

With Fall and Winter just around the corner, it is time to take a look at the legwear trend forecast to see what we can expect in the upcoming seasons.

Graphic Accents

The first trend is graphic accents. Fun designs and accents can add playfulness to any outfit and can showcase our unique personalities. Designs can also add more energy and go far beyond functionality. It also teeters on fitness, fashion, and athleisure.

Metallic Shine

Shimmer is also in this year. If you want to make a statement and use your style to stand out, you can do just that with some metallic shine. Metallic shine tights are fun and sexy while also being elegant and stylish. They give you a smoother look and extra comfort. 

Floral Prints

A trend that is continuing from the year before is floral prints. Flower designs and colors can give you more vibrancy, life, and joy. You can choose from classic floral designs in black or go for something more contemporary with a geometric floral design. 

Plaid

Plaid is also in this season. Plaid is timeless and rugged but still feminine and stylish. It is a time-honored pattern that will dress up any outfit you have this fall and winter. Choose plaids in different patterns and play around with different clothing combinations to create a fun and mismatched look.

Animal Prints

Animal prints have been around for a while and show no signs of going away. We have seen many animal print hosiery and clothing items on the runway and have taken those looks and recreated them to use in our everyday wardrobe. These prints can be bold and will certainly attract some attention. 

Knee Socks

Knee high socks are good for casual and everyday wear and are a trend we love seeing stick around. Knee highs can dress up any outfit and give you more of a stylish edge. Some can even add some retro flair to your style. They are versatile as well and go great with shorts, dresses, heels, boots, and anything casual or dressy you want to wear during the fall and winter months. 

Polka Dots

Polka dot hosiery is another trend we see evolving. It is the look that keeps on giving and goes with almost everything. The best part? They also suit most leg types. Let your legs do all the talking when wearing polka dots or other patterned tights or hosiery. Polka dots work best with a muted color palette.

Perfect Party Hosiery: What to Look For

Perfect Party Hosiery: What to Look For

When we go out, we want to look our best. To do that, we need to find the perfect party hosiery that doesn’t leave us with bumps and lumps under our gorgeous party clothes. Here are our tips on how to find the right shapewear for your body.

Seamless Tights 

If you want tights without the visible seams, then seamless tights are a definite must-have. They are knitted in one piece with a continuous operation, so there is no seam on the back. They provide an excellent fit that smooths you out in the right places, so you can avoid those lumps or bumps when putting on your favorite party dress. 

Pantyhose

Whether you are looking for sheer or ultra-sheer pantyhose, we have you covered. Most of our pantyhose are 40 denier and less. This means they are sheer and lightweight, and comfortable to wear. 

The right pantyhose under your party clothes can help reduce friction on your legs, prevent chafing, and stop blistering. Hosiery like this has proven time and again to be functional and fashionable and can give you the illusion of long and sleek legs while hiding any imperfections you don’t want on full display. 

Thigh Highs

Thigh highs, also known as stay-up stockings, can be both sexy and comfortable. Thigh highs can add dimension to your look and stay in place with an elastic or silicone band at the top. Thigh highs stay above your mid-thigh.

Stockings

Yes, stockings are definitely back in style. You can find classic stockings that will go with almost anything, or you can choose something more stylish and daring. Stockings are held with a suspender belt and made with different materials, including nylon and silk. You can also choose from sheer or opaque stockings. 

Choosing the Right Hosiery

When choosing hosiery, you should consider the color. Skin tones and nude are good options, as long as you pay attention to your personal skin tone. If you have fair skin, you want to avoid anything darker or tanned because it will stand out against your complexion. 

When choosing colors or designs to make more of a statement, be mindful of the shoes you will be wearing. Opaque tights usually work best with darker-colored shoes, for example.

When it comes to sizing, be sure to take your measurements so you can find the best fit. Remember, sizing differs by brand and doesn’t align with your clothes size in most cases. Always look for a size chart to help determine the best size for your body.

Once you have your measurements and are ready to shop, visit us at Hosieree.com and browse our catalog of the best hosiery items to add to your wardrobe.

Upping Your Sleepwear Game:  Reclaiming the Night 

Upping Your Sleepwear Game: Reclaiming the Night

Sleepwear doesn’t have to be oversized shirts or flannels. You can still feel feminine and sexy when climbing into bed for a good night’s sleep. Let’s discuss upping your sleepwear game so you can reclaim the night.

Making Nightwear More Exciting

Forget the drab and boring—make your nightwear more exciting. Find a sleepwear set that is filled with beauty as well as luxury. One that is comfortable to wear and something you look forward to slipping into each night. Forget the oversized t-shirts and jogging pants you may be used to. 

Health Benefits of the Right Sleepwear

Did you know that wearing binding clothing at night can actually inhibit melatonin production? Melatonin is responsible for regulating sleep cycles. When your body’s circadian rhythm is off or out of balance, it can affect your sleep quality. 

What Not to Wear to Bed

When going to bed at night, there are certain things you should ditch before slipping under the covers. Your bra is one of them. 

Wearing a bra to bed leaves you susceptible to future health issues due to how constricting it can be. This is especially true if the bra is ill-fitting and too tight. Wearing a bra to bed can also cause indentations to your skin, welts, and irritation. Above all, you may not be as comfortable as you could be, hindering a good night’s rest. 

Finding the Right Fabric

When finding your perfect sleepwear, you also want to find the right fabric. Make sure it aligns with your personality. Some fabrics are more sultry and sexy, while others may be more comfortable against the skin.

Lightweight pajamas with translucent lace and soft viscose fabric are a great choice. It drapes well, absorbs perspiration as you sleep, and wicks the moisture away from your skin. 

Finding the Right Fit

Finally, when it comes to sleepwear, the other important factor is going to be the fit. The looser they are, the more easily your body can move as you sleep. When sleepwear is too tight, it quickly becomes uncomfortable and can cause you to wake up several times during the night. 

The sleepwear at Hosieree.com is made with the right fabric and will prove to be the perfect fit. Our sleepwear sets are comfortable, lightweight, and romantic. It will feel amazing against your skin and ensure you get the best night’s sleep of your life.

The Most Underrated Legwear and How to Use It

The Most Underrated Legwear and How to Use It

When you come across the word “support” on hosiery websites, your first thought may be support tights. It is a common legwear product that women purchase and is a staple for many wardrobes. However, they are also one of the more underrated legwear types.

Support Hold Ups for Summer

Support hold-ups typically only reach the thigh, making them ideal for summer wear. They are also good for people looking for more compression and support without wearing too many layers during the warmer weather. 

Covers What Needs to be Covered

Support hold-ups also allow for the amount of coverage you want. Support legwear often concentrates more on the ankles and provides less support on the calves. Remember, the lower down you go, the more support this legwear offers. 

Hold-ups are great for your legs and circulation. It is also better than wearing full-length tights, and you don’t have to sacrifice any of the support the hold-ups offer.

More Stylish

We may need to be more practical at times about our fashion, but that doesn’t mean we need to sacrifice style. Hold-ups and tights are feminine, stylish, and practical. Some are made with fine, delicate, and transparent LYCRA with a lace top. 

You get support from your legwear and can also find stylish and fashionable hold-ups with a beautiful design. Whenever you put them on, you will feel like you are going to fabulous places, even if it is just a quick trip to the office. 

More Versatile

As you can see, support hold-ups are a versatile kind of legwear that combines practicality with beauty and elegance. They can be slipped on without a suspender belt and support you where you need it most. 

Most hold-ups come equipped with a band connected to silicone stripping, which holds them securely in place. Simply pull them on and up, and you are ready to go. 

If you want more style, hold-ups are available with a floral and feminine design. This can add a bit of elegance to your outfit without overdoing it. They are light and sheen stockings with non-slip lace hold-ups you can wear on any occasion. 

Ready to find your new hold-ups? Browse through the selection we have to offer at Hosieree.com. You won’t be disappointed in the selection.

Rules for Wearing Hosiery and How to Break Those Rules

Rules for Wearing Hosiery and How to Break Those Rules

Ready to break some rules? Here is what we know about wearing hosiery and what we also need to know about breaking the rules and finding our style.

Don’t Wear Tights With Trainers

This has been said so often over the years that it might be hard for you to think otherwise. However, if you take some time to skim through Instagram influencers, you will quickly see that this is no longer the case. 

Just like you can now wear a fun dress with colored tights and open-toed shoes, you can also pair your tights with trainers.

Picture this. Black tights or fashion-forward fishnets paired with clunky white trainers and an adorable short skirt. Do you love street style? This embodies the street style movement, and we are here for it. 

Stockings Are for the Bedroom

Come on now. We all know that this isn’t true. Stockings can be worn instead of tights and can be added to your everyday legwear collection. Stockings and suspenders are no longer a special occasion ensemble worn in the bedroom. 

Black Opaque Is the Only Way to Go

Yes, black opaque is certainly a go-to and a staple in our wardrobe, but it is not the only way to go. With so many options these days, we can choose from a selection of colors, patterns, or textures to dress up or update any outfit for any season or occasion. 

Patterned Tights Only Pair Well With Plain Outfits

While minimalism may be the in thing when it comes to home design these days, we aren’t following that same trend in the world of fashion. Don’t be afraid to get creative and play around by mixing different colors and patterns. 

You don’t have to stick to a plain outfit when wearing patterned tights. Pattern clash and mix and match are where it’s at in fashion.

Tights Are for Cold Weather

We all have that favorite pair of tights we pull out when the weather gets cooler, but this doesn’t have to be the only time for them. Every season can be tight season. Wear a lower denier when it is warmer outside. 

Ready to pick up a few new pairs of tights or stockings to add to your wardrobe? We have a great selection at Hosieree.com. Don’t be afraid to break all the rules and find a style you love.

How to Rock Fishnet Tights

How to Rock Fishnet Tights

Are you ready to step outside the box regarding style and fashion this season? Why not see what you can do with a good pair of fishnet tights? Bold and daring, yes. Stylish and fashion-forward. Yes. Don’t shy away from this look. Here is how to rock fishnet tights.

Pair Fishnets With Closed-Toed Shoes

One of the best ways to wear fishnets is with a great pair of closed-toed shoes. It gives you a more refined and put-together look while allowing you to keep that bit of edge without totally going over. Try a few looks with different shoes like canvas shoes, boots, and pumps. 

Keep It Classy

Fishnets can also be used for a more classic style. Play around with different textures. For example, lacy fishnets with a chunky woolen knit for winter or a pair of fishnet stockings under a brightly colored floral dress for spring or summer. Want something more grunge? Pair fishnets with a leather skirt or a pair of denim shorts.

Go for Elegance

Yes, fishnets can also be elegant. Simply wear them under skirts or dresses that fall to your knees. This gives you a classic look that is less flirty. A long pencil skirt, fishnets, and a ruffled blouse can also allow you to achieve a more professional look suitable for the workplace. 

Refreshing Fashion

If you want something more sophisticated and feminine, try pairing your fishnets with white. This monochrome styling can be refreshing and is a great alternative to black. This kind of styling can also help you look taller, and the fishnets balance out and complement the white. 

Get Creative

Fishnets come in various patterns and colors, so you can get as creative as you are comfortable with. Signature fishnets typically have a diamond-shaped knit, but this may be too aggressive a look for some. So, instead, try out other patterns and styles like those with straight lines. 

As you can see, there are many ways you can dress up or dress down your fishnets to achieve a more stylish look for any occasion. Don’t be afraid to step outside of your fashion comfort zone and play around with different colors, textures, and patterns to find the best look for you. 

Ready to take a look at some stylish fishnet options? Hosieree.com has a great selection to choose from.

4 Reasons to Have Nude Tights for Summer Looks

4 Reasons to Have Nude Tights for Summer Looks

The weather is scorching as we embrace the summer sun. We have traded our coats and boots for flip-flops, wedges, and sundresses. It is also time to trade our winter leggings for something more appropriate for summer.

Here are a few great reasons you should have some nude tights in your wardrobe for your summer looks.

1. Achieve the Bare Leg Look

Nude tights offer a ton in the way of versatility. Nude and sheer tights that match your skin tone can hide any imperfections on your leg while still allowing you to achieve that bare leg look you want for summer. Forget the spray tan, pull on a pair of nude tights or stockings instead of going bare-legged and enhance any look you have for summer.

2. Embrace the Versatility

Again, nude tights are much more versatile than you may even know. Not only can you wear them when you dress formally, but they can also be worn with other more casual looks. There really is no limit to the different ways you can embrace the versatility of a nude tight during the summer.

3. Cover Up Imperfections

Maybe you didn’t have time to shave or have some imperfections you want to cover up without having to use makeup or fake spray tan. Nude tights offer the perfect cover. From discoloration and varicose veins to a birthmark or blotches, nude tights in the right shade can cover all this.

4. A Classic Choice

Aside from the obvious we have already discussed, nude tights are just a classic choice all around. They are versatile, go with your wardrobe for any season, and are comfortable for all-day wear. They are a great way to look more sophisticated and stylish during the summer. They can easily enhance your legs and can complete any ensemble. 

So, what are you waiting for? Hosieree.com has a vast selection of tights and stockings to choose from, so you can build a successful and stylish summer wardrobe to turn heads this season.

3 Signs That It’s Time To Replace Your Stockings

It’s easy to get attached to our favorite stockings, especially after they stayed with us through thick and thin, and every other fashion disaster we survived. However, there comes a day when it’s time to let them go even if we don’t realize it yet. Here are 3 signs that your stockings are due for a replacement.

  • When It’s Too Itchy – Stockings are meant to feel soft against the skin and almost like you are not wearing anything. But if your stockings start to give you an itch throughout the day, it means that the material is no longer as good as before. The fabric has become rough against your legs, causing the itch. This is one of the signs that your stockings are now old and will need to be replaced soon.
  • When You Keep Pulling Them Up – After regular use, stockings can get loose too. You will find yourself pulling them up as you go about your day. While you might argue that you can bear with the act of keeping them up from time to time, it can actually be inconvenient as time passes. The feeling of them rolling down can also make you too conscious and distracted. If they’re already loose, they will need to be replaced eventually.
  • When The Fabric Becomes Too Thin – There are stockings that are really made thin to appear invisible when worn, but as a regular user, you will surely know the difference between what was meant to be and what a deteriorating stocking feels like. Besides the rough texture, thinned stockings look stretched and barely hanging in there. If you try to keep them for longer, they will eventually develop into tears and holes.

All things age, even your stockings. The way for you to enjoy them for a long time is to buy high-quality stockings from trusted stores like Hosieree. While replacing them at one point is inevitable, at the very least, good-quality stockings will make sure that it will take a long time before that happens.

How To Remove Stains From Your White Hosiery

White hosieries are very lovely until you spot a speck of dirt or stain on them. There are many reasons why your whites got dirty, like a dusty surface or an unnoticed drop of sauce when eating. 

Removing stains and dirt can be challenging, so here are 4 tips to get you started. 

  • Wash Them ASAP! – As soon as you get home, do not just throw your stained hosiery into the washer or let it rest in your laundry basket. Doing these can worsen the damage more. For instance, tossing it in the washer and letting the machine handle it won’t fully get rid of the stain. Using the washing machine can also risk your hosiery’s material from thinning, shrinking, or breaking. 

Delaying washing it can cause the stain to dry up and soak in the fabric completely. When this happens, it will be near impossible to remove the stains no matter how much you try to wash them. 

  • Prepare Clean And Cold Water – Get a basin and fill it with cold and clean water. While most of your clothes can be washed in warm water, cool water is actually preferred when washing delicate clothing, like your white thigh highs and pantyhose. Cool water is also known to effectively remove stains compared to warm water.
  • Use A Stain Remover – Usually, soaking your hosiery water is effective but if the stains are persistent, it is time to get a stain remover. But you have to be careful about choosing what to use because different removers are effective only for certain stains. For example,  hairsprays work against ink stains while wipes work against lipstick stains. 
  • Do Not Rub Vigorously – Rubbing them harshly is tempting but can only further the damage. Too much force can cause you to stretch the fabric and make it loose instead of tight-fitting. Instead of rubbing, you can create a paste with your stain remover and pat it against the stains. If you have to rub, do it as gently as you can. 
  • Let It Rest –  Give it another wash to get rid of the soap and other products you used before letting it dry. Do not hang your hosiery using hangers or clips as these can also be damaging. Instead, lay them down on a flat surface until they dry. 

Just remember these steps and you won’t have anything to fear about wearing white thighs, stockings, or pantyhose from hosieree.com.
