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.

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

1 Comment

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.

How To Stop Your Hose From Slipping

How To Stop Your Hose From Slipping

Hosiery can easily give you a trendy, elegant, and fashionable look, but what’s not fashionable is being caught having to adjust your hosiery in the middle of an event because it’s loose. When you’re dancing, walking, or moving around quite a bit, your panty hose can shift, slip, or begin to fall down, causing you to have to nonchalantly do the “hosiery shuffle” as you pull your hosiery up by the thighs or the waist. Not only does it make for an awkward scenario, but constantly pulling up your hose can damage the fibers in the hosiery and cause the pair to break down faster.

There are a couple of reasons why your hosiery may slip. First and foremost, your hosiery will slip if it’s a bit too large for you. If you are in between hosiery sizes, it’s recommended to size up rather than down, but this could lead to slipping as you wear the hosiery throughout the day or night.

Second, your hosiery may slip if it has begun to lose shape. Low-quality hosiery or older hosiery may begin to lose its shape over time, causing slipping as you wear it for a number of hours. No matter the cause of the slippage, there is a simple solution using only what you already own and likely have on right now!

While it may sound silly, the best way to avoid hosiery slippage can be found in your underwear drawer. A simple pair of panties worn on the outside of your hosiery, rather than under it, can help keep the pair in place all throughout the day. The heavier fabric of the panty gives the top of the hosiery some structure and keeps it in place even as you move. The panty you choose can be any style, including thong panties if you wish to keep that seamless silhouette.

At Hosieree.com, we pride ourselves on providing only hosiery pieces of the highest quality as well as the panties you can use to keep your hosiery firmly in place. If you find that you’re between sizes and worry about your hosiery slipping throughout a day, you can have peace of mind with all of the products we offer.

How Is Hosiery Made?

How Is Hosiery Made?

Hosiery is a wardrobe staple, and at Hosieree.com, we have all the staples you need to make your wardrobe complete. However, have you ever wondered what goes into that favorite pair of hose? You might know your hosiery is of high quality, made in Europe, has features like tummy control or smoothing properties, and make your legs look fantastic, but what else is there to know? We want to dive a little bit into how hosiery is made and just how special those favorite pieces of yours are.

Generally, a pair of pantyhose is made from nylon fibers, but like the Ajour 20 Tights, it may include other fibers like cotton and elastane as well. Nylon yarn is made through a process called “melt spinning,” where adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine are polymerized to create a thick resin. The resin is cut into small chips before being heated and pressurized until they reach a syrup-like consistency. The material is then placed in the spinneret. Once in the spinneret, long strings of nylon will begin coming out from small holes in the machine, creating what will then be woven into nylon yarn.

Once created, the yarns will be stored on spools, which will be used in the knitting process. Using a circular knitting machine, a series of loops is created, quickly forming what will become a leg of hosiery. Modern knitting machines can create a single leg of hosiery in about 90 seconds. After the knitting process, the hosiery will then be seamed. The legs are seamed together to form a pair of pantyhose, and seams are placed to form the toes. Pantyhose with back seams will get those specific features during this part of the process as well.

After the hosiery is formed, it will be dyed a particular color. It is placed inside of a gentle net or basket, dipped into dye, and laid to dry until the dye has completely set. Sometimes, the hosiery may be dried in a gentle drying machine. Afterward, it is ready to be boarded, during which it is placed on a leg-like mold and heated to achieve that perfect silhouette shape.

Learning what goes into making a single pair of hosiery helps you gain a whole new appreciation for your favorite hose. If you’re still looking for that perfect pair, check out what we have at Hosieree.com today!

Are You Wearing The Right Size Hosiery?

Are You Wearing The Right Size Hosiery?

Hosiery that is too big will be prone to slipping, and hosiery that is too small will be prone to runs, tears, and premature fiber breakdown. While a pair of jeans or a sweater may work in a slightly “off” size, hosiery is a bit different. It’s extremely important to find your correct size in hosiery, and there are a few tips and tricks to help you to do so more easily. Here’s what you need to know about getting the right size hosiery:

  • Sizing May Differ – Like with other types of clothing, hosiery sizing will differ across brands, fabrics, and types. Your size in the Alba Chiara 40 Tights might be completely different than your size in the Blind Date Sheers, and that’s okay. When shopping for pantyhose, it’s important to look at individual size charts for the pairs of pantyhose you’re interested in and go by each chart to find your perfect size. At Hosieree.com, we provide accurate size charts for all of our pairs of hose so you can go for your ideal size with ease.
  • Go Bigger – In some instances, you might find that you’re in between sizes on a size chart, but that doesn’t mean you need to skip over that perfect pair of hose. When you get in that kind of situation, it’s always recommended to go with the slightly large size over the slightly small one. When hosiery is too small, the fibers are put under constant stress, and a delicate pair of hose will wear out too quickly. You can always fix hosiery that is slipping, while a pair of hose with a large hole might be deemed irreparable.
  • Don’t Go By Look – If you’re checking a pair of hose and you think it looks too small, that might not necessarily be the case. Hosiery of different materials and fabrics can stretch, and it’s important to try the hosiery on before deciding if it’s a “no” or a “go.”

When you find the right hosiery, you’ll never want to let it go, and we have just what you’re looking for at Hosieree.com. Each pair of hose we offer features a sizing chart as part of the product description, allowing you to see what size is the best fit for you no matter what pair you’re interested in. To find out what size you may be in your favorite hose, check out what we have at Hosieree.com today.

4 Reasons To Invest In Nude Hosiery Now

4 Reasons To Invest In Nude Hosiery Now

You might have plenty of fashion hose options, several pairs of tights, and a wide range of stockings, but do you have that key pair of nude hosiery yet? Nude hosiery should be a staple piece in any wardrobe, but too many women feel intimidated by the idea of it.

Summer is the perfect time to look for sheer nude hosiery, and you’ll quickly find just how comfortable and versatile those pieces really are.

If you’re still not convinced, read on to discover 4 reasons to invest in nude hosiery right now.

  • They Always Match – One of the biggest issues many have with opaque tights is matching them.

Nude sheer hosiery always matches, and it lets you get more comfortable with hosiery styles before you can move on to trendier, more fashion-forward pieces on the market.
  • Your Legs But Better – Nude hosiery is practically invisible, and there are nude shades you can find for all skin tones and needs. What you get is a “your legs but better” look that allows for easy enhancement.
  • That Touch Of Warmth – Nude hose doesn’t only come in the ultra-sheer variety, so you can make use of a pair in the fall and winter months as well. Choosing nude hosiery with a bit of a higher denier gives you enough layering with a subtle and understated elegant look.
  • Get The Royal Look – Nude hosiery came surging back into fashion in 2011 after the big royal wedding. Ever since that event, it has become a key part of any elegant day or night look. When you wear nude hosiery, you automatically get a touch of royal sophistication that’s often hard to achieve.

At Hosieree.com, we have the ultra-sheer and opaque nude hosiery pieces you’re looking for to really enhance your wardrobe during any season. If you’re in search of your perfect pair, see what we have in store for you at Hosieree.com today.

Summer 2020 Tights Looks For Every Closet

Summer 2020 Tights Looks For Every Closet

The unofficial start of summer is finally here, and with it we have summer wardrobes, short hemlines, and bright, sunny days. While choosing your bathing suit and your sundresses, you should also be looking for the hosiery you’re going to wear all throughout the summer season. While hosiery is a well-known staple for the fall, winter, and spring months, they’re just as important during the summer months as well!

Hosiery does a lot more than bring warmth—they also bring elegance and style to any outfit. During the summer months, you can remain cool and comfortable by choosing sheer hosiery, which is breathable even on the hottest of summer days. The summer 2020 tights looks you’ll need to grace your closet with this year are the following:

  • Classic sheer – Every woman’s wardrobe should have at least 1 pair of gorgeous, sheer hose in a classic nude shade. A pair of 8 den hose will polish your ensemble in an instant, and it will be the hosiery piece you’ll reach for in order to look your best at every single summertime event. You can wear them at a wedding, in the office, and for a fun night out.
  • Fishnets – Fishnets came surging back into popularity during 2019, and they’re showing absolutely no signs of slowing. For summer, large open fishnets can give any outfit an edgy look while never adding any sort of discomfort or unwanted warmth.
  • Thigh highs – One of the biggest complaints many have regarding summer hosiery is the fear of heat. It’s hot during those dog days of summer, and the last thing you want is to feel constricted or overly warm. Thigh highs ensure complete breathability during the summer months as they only cover the leg up to the thigh. The Eluxa Toeless Thigh High Stockings by Fiore is a 20 den stocking with a toeless structure that’s perfect for open-toed summer footwear.

Hosieree.com is here whenever you feel the need to restock your summer hosiery wardrobe. From toeless thigh highs to those fishnets you’ve always wanted to wear, we have just what you’re looking for. To find your next perfect pair of summer hosiery, check out what we have in store today!

A Few Easy Ways To Prevent Runs And Tears In Your Hosiery

A Few Easy Ways To Prevent Runs And Tears In Your Hosiery

Runs and tears pop up in your hosiery seemingly without warning, and it’s the most disappointing way for a pair of hose to get ruined. While there are some obvious things you can do to avoid runs and tears, such as keeping your fingernails clipped and filed, there are other tricks many women swear by to keep their hosiery in good shape. A few easy ways to prevent runs and tears from in your hosiery are:

  • Moisturizing – If your skin is a little dry, you create unnecessary friction for your hosiery. It will be tougher to put on a pair, and you’ll be working the fibers a little too hard each time you pull the hose up or down. Before putting on hosiery, make sure to moisturize your legs, allow the moisturizer to soak in completely, and then slide your hosiery on gently. You should feel a dramatic difference in how easily your hosiery glides on.
  • Freezing it – It might seem odd to put hosiery in the freezer, but some women swear that freezing strengthens the fibers. To freeze your hosiery, slightly wet the hose, squeeze out any excess moisture, place the pair in a plastic bag, and put it inside the freezer overnight. In the morning, take your hosiery out and allow them to warm to room temperature before putting them on.
  • Keeping nail polish and hairspray in your bag – In some cases, runs and tears are unavoidable. For instance, you’re in the office and you bump into the sharp edge of a filing cabinet, only to look down and see a tear in your hose. When that occurs, you don’t have to sit back and watch the tear grow larger. As long as you have a travel bottle of extra hold hairspray and some clear nail polish in your bag, you’ll be ready to protect your hose anytime. Paint a layer of clear nail polish along the edges of the tear, wait for the polish to dry, and then spray the entire area with extra-strong hold hairspray.

When irreparable tears and runs do occur, we have just the hosiery pieces to replace the favorites you’ve lost. We have high-end European hosiery of all kinds, so there’s always a new pair to fall in love with. To see what we have to offer, check out our product line at Hosieree.com today.
