Mastering 2019’s Biggest Trend

Mastering 2019’s Biggest Trend

If you’ve been around any department store or read any fashion magazine during the year 2019, you’ve probably seen this year’s biggest trend – animal prints. Sure, animal prints never truly go out of style, but their full resurgence comes in and out of fashion as the years go by. For 2019, we’re in an animal print year full-swing, and we at Hosieree.com have just the hosiery you need to really maximize your wild style.

Animal prints can be explored and enjoyed in so many different ways. A simple leopard jacket is a removable way to wear your animal print, a skirt is a bold way to show it off, but we want to focus on how you can wear your animal print hosiery to really trademark this animal print look for yourself. What we love most about animal print hosiery is its sexy subtlety, and how you can play it up or play it down to go into any possible situation. You can mix animal print hosiery with a mini skirt for a date night out that oozes sex appeal, or you can wear animal print tights with a knee-length skirt to make it appropriate for the office. If you can dream it, you can do it with animal print.

Our Fashion Tights Caty are a classic example of your quintessential animal print. They’re a perfect basic leopard that can be dressed up, dressed down, turned into something rock n’ roll, or put into an elegant context. If you want to start out with animal print hosiery, we couldn’t think of a better place to begin. If you pair these tights with basics, they’re ready for the office, if you pair the tights with tailored shorts and sky-high pumps, they’re ready for your sassy night-out look.

One way to really modernize your animal print looks for 2019 is by pattern mixing, which some might find a little tough with animal prints but it’s truly a lot of fun to play with. The small animal print pattern of the Fashion Tights Caty are perfect for mixing with bold big florals, which really looks striking if you’re looking to pair this trend with the 90’s revival look.

Animal prints are the perfect neutral for spicing up your 2019 style, and we at Hosieree.com have the animal print tights, leggings, and even fishnet hose you need to fully embrace this style. If you’re looking for your ideal animal print, check out what we have at Hosieree.com today!

Looking Chic In Your Leggings

Looking Chic In Your Leggings

Few pieces of clothing are true fall staples quite like leggings. They can be worn under a skirt or dress, they can be paired with a tunic or cozy sweater, or they can be worn to the gym as part of the perfect trendy athleisure outfit. At Hosieree.com, we pride ourselves on carrying only the best European made leggings, so you always have just the pair you’re looking for to flawlessly pull off all your fall 2019 legging looks.

Due to their form fitting nature, a lot of women feel a little intimidated by leggings. Sure, they may wear them at home or under a skirt or pants for an additional warmth layer, but they’re not truly comfortable embracing all of the potential a great pair of leggings hold. At Hosieree.com, we want you to love your leggings, and we have just the tips you need to feel confident and chic every time you put them on:

  • Pair with a denim jacket – If you’re looking to take the athleisure trend to the next level, while still maintaining a high-fashion look, it’s time to take out your favorite denim jacket. A pair of leggings with a crop or form fitting top is the perfect way to show off stand-out denim. You’ll avoid the denim-on-denim look that can be too much when you pair the jacket with jeans, while creating the perfect carefree brunch look.
  • Dress them up – A structured pair of leggings like those we feature at Hosieree.com are perfect for dressing up. A sleek pair of leggings looks great paired with an embellished blazer and bootie or pump, giving you a night-out look that is as comfortable as it is effortlessly chic.
  • Go with a blouse – Airy blouses with plenty of movement seem like they’re almost made to be paired with a sleek and structured legging. If you’re attending a lunch, an afternoon meeting, or running errands, you’re creating ideal balance within a completely timeless look.
  • Classic cozy – One of the most popular ways you’re going to see leggings throughout each fall season is within the classic cozy look. Take your leggings and pair with an oversized sweatshirt, a chunky sweater, and a scarf or hat, and you’re ready for all those Instagram worthy moments at the pumpkin patch.

No fall wardrobe is truly complete without the perfect leggings. To find your perfect pair, see what we have in store at Hosieree.com today!

Choosing Your Size In Hosiery

Choosing Your Size In Hosiery

Like bras and jeans, hosiery is another wardrobe staple that too many women wear in the wrong size. For those who may wonder just why their hosiery never seems to last, the most likely root cause is that you’re wearing the wrong size for your body shape. There is no body that cannot wear hosiery, and all it takes is figuring out what size is best for you. Wearing correctly sized hosiery ensures a longer life, better comfort, and a sexier look no matter what type of hosiery you may be wearing.

Like other types of clothing, sizes may vary when you go from brand to brand. Different manufacturers of hosiery will use different materials and methods, so you should always check the specific size chart for the pair you’re interested in before choosing your size. Even the highest quality European hosiery, like that we sell at Hosieree.com, will have some variations when you go from brand to brand or material to material. While you may be a size small/medium in one hosiery type, you could be a size medium/large in another, or a size x-small/small in another still.

If your hosiery fits you well, it should be comfortable, and it should not limit your movement. If you find that you’re afraid your hosiery may rip while you’re getting into or out of the car, chances are you’re wearing the wrong size. Hosiery like this that is too small is more susceptible to holes, runs, and tears as you place excess stress on the delicate fabrics. If you find that you’re constantly pulling up your hosiery, or you get regular bunches at the ankles, these are signs that your hosiery may be ill-fitting on the other end of the spectrum, and you require a smaller size than the size you’re wearing.

At Hosieree.com, from our tights, to our fishnets, we have complete size charts for every type of hosiery we sell. We want you to get the most out of your hose, and we know that this can only be accomplished when you know which size you should be wearing.

4 Ways To Wear Your Favorite Shorts Into Fall

4 Ways To Wear Your Favorite Shorts Into Fall

At Hosieree.com, we’re all about taking your favorite wardrobe pieces and utilizing them in unique and fashion forward ways. With the right hosiery, your favorite shorts are no longer a summer staple; they’re a year-round staple you can enjoy well into the fall! When you pair your shorts with hosiery, not only are you cool-weather friendly, but you’re given a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to creating stand-out outfits.

The key component to remember when taking your shorts into fall is pairing them with the right hose. You can pair a cut off pair of distressed denim shorts with fishnet hose for a punk-rock look, and just as easily you can pair a tailored pair of shorts with solid opaque tights for something sleek and ready for the office. Once you have your hosiery pairings down, you can then start to branch out into pairing with accessories and additional layers for a new fashion-forward look every day. 4 ways to wear your shorts and hosiery into fall are:

  • Set yourself up with a blazer – If you’re looking to take this look into the office, pairing with a blazer is a must. Take your favorite pair of tailored shorts, an opaque pair of tights, and a tucked in blouse and pair these elements with a sophisticated blazer. Never thought you could wear shorts to work? Think again!
  • Use longer shorts for extra movement – If you want something a little more retro inspired, longer shorts that go down to about the knee with a little movement are perfect. Paired with a quirky blouse, opaque hosiery, and T-strap heels, you’ll be perfectly executing those vintage vibes.
  • Get grunge cozy – Fall is all about those cozy looks, and the grunge look is bigger than ever this year. Take a distressed pair of shorts, pair with fishnet hose, and layer over top a chunky knit cardigan for a perfect cozy grunge look.
  • Day to night – Shorts and hosiery is a perfect choice for day to night looks. The same tailored shorts, hosiery, and blazer look that was ideal for the office is taken to happy hour by switching out your top for one with a little sparkle and some sky-high booties.

With fall fully underway, there is no better time to try out some of these fashion-forward looks for yourself. If you’re looking for the perfect hose to take your shorts into fall, check out what we’ve got at Hosieree.com today!

White Hosiery Is The Statement Trend Of Fall 2019

White Hosiery Is The Statement Trend Of Fall 2019

For fall and winter 2019, you might think you have your hosiery wardrobe stocked. You have patterns, you have opaque black, you have sheer nudes, but have you considered white? White hosiery often brings back the memories of Sunday dresses and Mary Jane shoes you wore as a little girl, but white hosiery is actually so much more than that. One of the most surprising trends coming into fall and winter 2019 is white hosiery, and this comes with a chicness many didn’t even know existed.

Statement hosiery has been a big deal for several years now. We’ve seen embellished tights with crystals or embroidery, we’ve seen edgy looks with fishnet, and we’ve seen color blocking trends expanded with the incorporation of brightly colored hose. However, white hosiery makes a statement of the statement, invoking looks like those popular on high fashion models during the 1960’s as well as some updated trends for the 21st century.

One way this trend is being embraced is with the retro look. One really excellent thing about rocking retro is that it never seems to go out of style. If you’re looking to invest in wardrobe pieces, like hosiery, going with something classic and vintage-inspired is likely to last the tests of time. White tights are being paired with patterned mini skirts and high-hemline shift dresses. As for footwear, chunky heels with an open toe is a great way to add in a little funkiness, while booties are a safer and always trendy option.

If you’re looking to bring this look into the 21st century with a more modern approach, try pairing your white hosiery with a light colored tailored short. These shorts are usually put away after the summer season ends, but white hosiery gives you a new way to wear them all the way into winter. For something extra chic, add a blazer in a complementing light color to your look with a closed-toe classic sky-high pump.

White hosiery is a part of the hosiery world you might be missing out on, and there are plenty of grown-up ways to wear white hosiery that add something entirely new to your wardrobe. If you’re looking for the perfect white hose to try this 2019 trend for yourself, we have just what you need at Hosieree.com!

The Hosiery Trends You Need To Adopt Right Now

The Hosiery Trends You Need To Adopt Right Now

Fashion hosiery has become a huge deal in fashion year after year. In the spring, summer, fall, and winter, we’re seeing seasonal looks sculpted using fashion hosiery as an anchor piece tying the entire look together. At Hosieree.com, we have all the fashion hose you need to take you through the rest of 2019, and a few trends we’d like to highlight are:

  • Leopard on leopard – Leopard is a bold look, there’s no doubt about that. You can find just about any fashion element you want in leopard, from bags, to sweaters, to skirts and denim. What about hosiery? This year the key style element getting the wild treatment is hosiery, like our Fashion Tights Caty. More specifically, pairing leopard fashion hosiery with leopard footwear. Pairing leopard fashion tights with leopard pumps was all over the runways at Milan fashion week, and it’s an easy way to take catwalk style right to your city streets!
  •  Pattern mixing – Pattern mixing is an easy way to get chic, but a tougher thing to master. When you have mastered it, however, you can really take this look anywhere to form something interesting, high fashion, and trendsetting in so many different ways. One very edgy example is taking the aforementioned leopard tights and mixing them with a plaid skirt, which touches on both the 90’s and punk trends taking over runways and walkways this year. Another popular option that ramps up the femininity of your look is taking our Puntina Polka Dot Pantyhose and pairing them with a delicate floral pattern.
  • Casual chic with sneakers – Don’t think you’re limited to a heel, wedge, or classic flat when you’re wearing your hosiery. A big trend for this season is to pair your tights with a more casual sneaker, which really masters the casual chic look that is massive in streetwear fashion right now. Take a favorite skirt, pair with a fashion tight like our Argo Fashion Tights by Trasparenze, and finish off your look with a crisp pair of lace up flat sneakers.

Today’s biggest trends you need to adopt are all firmly rooted in streetwear, which means you can take these off the runway looks and really incorporate them into your everyday life. If you’re looking for the perfect tights to adopt these trends for yourself, get what you need at Hosieree.com today!

Fall Hosiery Season Is Upon Us Once Again

Fall Hosiery Season Is Upon Us Once Again

As the crisp chill of fall begins to creep into the air, we at Hosieree.com know it’s time to get excited! While hosiery is a formal and professional staple all year round, it’s really the fall and winter seasons that let your fashion creativity shine. Your hosiery becomes one of your most go-to wardrobe staples, allowing you to transform your looks and get entirely new results using the same pieces you’ve worn over and over again. A few reasons why we love this time of year are:

  • Keep going with your favorite shorts – Shorts don’t have to be put away after Labor Day, and as a matter of fact, they can be your new favorite pieces especially during these warmer early fall days. A tailored pair of shorts can be paired with a black opaque tight and a stunning pair of stilettos complementing that sharp blazer during a night out. A denim pair of retro or distressed shorts can be layered on top of fishnets for an edgy streetwear ready look.
  • Get bootie ready – Few footwear options are more fall-friendly than booties, and few legwear options look better with booties than tights. If you’re looking to strut your stuff in a knee-length skirt and cozy sweater, choose a pair of opaque tights in a fun fall-friendly color and put on your favorite pair of booties. What you have is a casual, comfy, and cute look for autumn that can take you pretty much everywhere.
  • Go from day to night – If you’re going to be out for the day, a great pair of hosiery may be all you need to successfully take your look from day to night. The same skirt and top you wore to work can travel to happy hour with your team by pairing the outfit with a pair of fishnet hosiery or tights in a fun color or pattern. Looking to keep it sleek and simple? Add in black hosiery and you’re always ready to go. If you’re traveling this fall, this simple trick gives you a way to create more looks without taking up too much room in your suitcase!

4 Ways To Wear Your Staple Black Tights

4 Ways To Wear Your Staple Black Tights

When you think of staple hosiery, the first thought you’re like to have after a pair of classic nude hose is black tights. Black tights absolutely never go out of fashion, and they’re likely one of those layers you reach for first to bring your outfits into fall and winter. At Hosieree.com, we want to show you all the ways you can love a pair of staple black tights, like our U4689 Opaque Tights. 4 ways to wear your staple black tights this season are:

  1. Bring them into your layering – Layering is the perfect functional and fashionable look for fall. After all, you might have warm days, cool evenings, and downright cold nights. A midi skirt, booties, a sweater, and a jacket really ties together with the added layer of black tights between the shoe and the skirt’s hemline.
  2. Use fishnets to ramp up your streetwear – When you think of black tights, you’ll probably think of classic opaque black tights first. However, black fishnet tights still count, and as a matter of fact, they add something really fun and different to your entire tights wardrobe. You can take tailored shorts, feminine fabrics, and even spring or summer colors and turn them into cool weather ready streetwear pieces by simply adding a pair of black fishnet tights into the mix.
  3. Streamline your shift dresses – Shift dresses are back for the fall and winter seasons, and a lot of women find it difficult to really pull this style of dress off. A shift dress will usually have a straight line “boxy” sort of appearance, with a high hemline that is supposed to turn attention to the silhouette of the legs. With a pair of black tights, you really highlight this streamlining effect and highlight the shape of your legs without ever being “too much”.
  4. Tone down while you play up your curves – Wiggle dresses and pencil skirts are beautiful choices for playing up your curves. For many women, these looks make you feel sexy and confident, but they might feel a bit too sexy for some environments. With a pair of opaque black tights, you can keep your look a little more modest while you strut your stuff with your head held high. This combo is perfect for the office, or a night out!

How To Make Colored Tights Work For You

How To Make Colored Tights Work For You

Yes, they can be funky and fun. No, you’re never too old to wear them. Colored tights have a place in every wardrobe, you just need to know how to incorporate them the right way based on how you want them to look.

Those who love to stand out will find it easy to add tights to any outfit.

A comfortable pair of Blueberry Love Fashion Tights are subtle enough to give you a slight edge while staying classically cool. 

Perfect Pairings

For the best pairings, think about your wardrobe and add tights to complement what you already have. You might be surprised at how you can make colored tights work for you when you wear them in one of these combinations.

  • Stick with what you know. For those who are skeptical about anything on the bright side of the color wheel, start off with tights in a color you’re accustomed to. Diamond Shimmering Fashion Tights come in a very deep blue color that isn’t too far above a classic navy. Consider it navy after a margarita.
  • Start off small. No matter what color you choose, only show a bit of it. This will get you used to the color without overwhelming your eyes. For instance, pair Freedom Classic Opaque Tights in Abricot with an ankle length skirt in chocolate brown. You’ll only get peeks when you walk, or when the wind blows.
  • Add a subtle pop of color. When your outfit is full of neutral tones such as pale beige or dove gray, pick a pair of tights that give some zing. Microfiber Sophie Tights in Acqua allows you to show more color below while keeping yourself neutral above. 
  • Go all out. Once you’ve mastered colored tights in your own time, let loose on a day when you’re feeling your best. Dig out your denim mini and pull on Cortina Tights in Soleil. After that, you’ll be ready to make tights of all colors a part of your everyday wardrobe.

The trend of colored tights will never truly go away, so the more comfortable you are now, the more fashionable you’ll continue to be throughout your lifetime. Take a minute to browse through the may colored tights that we offer at hosieree.com and begin building your wardrobe today.

Do You Know The Difference Between Stockings And Tights?

Do You Know The Difference Between Stockings And Tights?

If there’s one question, or two, that is constant in the world of women’s legwear fashion, it’s this: What’s the difference between stockings and tights? And which ones should you choose? At Hosieree.com, we believe it’s a matter of personal preference as they both have many positive qualities. If you aren’t sure what your personal preference is, consider the differences to determine which is right for you.

Stockings

Stockings start at the foot and cover the leg up to the mid-thigh, or sometimes just above the knee. They are work with a suspender belt to keep them from falling down. (Note – Do not confuse thigh highs with stockings. Thigh highs have a silicone strip along the top of each leg to hold them in place.)  Most stockings are sheer, but there are some opaque varieties available. Some of the benefits of wearing stockings include:

  • They make you feel empowered. (There’s something about being the only one who knows that you’re wearing a sexy back-seam stocking under your suit.)  
  • They fit all body shapes and sizes.
  • With better air flow to your bottom, stockings can keep your cooler and more comfortable.
  • They come in so many fun and flirty styles, you can wear them for any occasion.

One disadvantage of stockings is that they cannot be worn with too-high skirts or shorts.

Tights

Tights cover your legs from the toe to the waist. They’re traditionally thicker than stockings, but they now come in a wide variety of deniers and opacities. Some of the benefits of tights include:

  • They can be a lifesaver if you live in a cold climate.
  • You don’t need suspenders to wear them.
  • They can be worn under shorts and very short hemlines.
  • You can find them in beautiful patterns and designs.

One disadvantage of tights is that they can be too restricting and warm due to the full coverage.

Whether you prefer stockings or tights, we have a beautiful variety of colors and styles. They’re all made from the highest quality European fabrics available, which make them feel as good as they look. Browse through our selection for the hottest styles and trends to make your legs happy. You might just end up choosing both.
