The Thing About Thigh Highs

Thigh highs are one commodity that allow a girl much freedom. They’re practical and when you get them from Hosieree.com, they’re stylish and sexy too. We’re here to give you a few tips for wearing them. These are options that are more wearing than you’d think.


Shoes!

When you wear thigh high stockings, it’s all about the shoe selection you make. Thigh highs, such as our ultra sheer Marlene Stay Up Stockings, are best when paired with the perfect heel. These stockings, with their floral lace embroidered band would be ideal when paired with a closed-toe velvet wedge in black or deep red. You want a shoe that’s going to give you enough lift in all the places that matter and won’t hide the thigh highs themselves, in much the way that a boot might, though, for this particular thigh high, a boot option would pair nicely as well. The goal is to show off the decorative tops. Which brings us to the next point…


How To Wear The Marlene

As mentioned, the embroidery of these thigh highs is at the top of them, just around the thighs themselves. To showcase these stockings in their best light, pair these with a nice dress or skirt that comes just to the top of the thigh highs or passes them only just so. That way, as you glide across the room, all eyes will be able to glimpse the artful display and lace adorning your Hosieree.com thigh highs.


The Alternative

Thigh high stockings can be a nice alternative to actual stockings. That might be half the fun and enjoyment. Having thigh high stockings essentially means you have “easy in-out” stockings. All they take is a simple pull on and you’re ready to go.

You can turn a simple ensemble into something dressy and upscale with the quick addition of the perfect pair of thigh highs. No matter what the occasion is, there’s bound to be a style with us here at Hosieree.com that will serve your purposes well. Sheer thigh high stockings are very popular and give the leg a bit of added allure. While thigh highs that are white or off-white, as opposed to the traditional black, have recently become very big in a number of circles. And those too have their own specifics in terms of how they can be worn to achieve the best look possible.

Your Special Day & Special Night

So you’ve handled all the most important things except for one: the dress, the venue, the photographer, the catering, shoes, hair and make-up, bridesmaids, groomsmen and you’ve even taken care of everything for your groom.


The last thing on your list is figuring out your bridal hosiery!

There are a few things you should remember, however. You have to think on what style would go best with your dress. But not only that, you have to pay special mind to gown silhouette and the fabric composition. If your dress is form-fitting you may want to try some of our Support Hosiery options, like our Beauty and Comfort Tutto Nudo Support Tights. These Support Tights work to flatten your tummy for a natural look, so you don’t have to worry about sucking in those last few stubborn pounds that just would not come off.


Now think about your feet. What’s on them? Are you wearing peep toes or closed toe shoes for the big day? Are they boot-style or sandal-style? This matters, but not when you opt in for some of our hosiery options that come with the added benefit of a closed toe.

The most difficult thing will likely be deciding between nude, ivory, white, opaque, or sheer black tights. But if you’re looking for something that’s got a little sex appeal, go for the opaque option. Or really be bold and aim for a fishnet. This choice is all about your personal style so don’t let anyone dictate your choice.

Our last tip is don’t sacrifice comfort for style. There are plenty of times when this is okay to do. As women, we’ve all been there. But your wedding day is no time for unladylike grab-tucks and fidgets so avoid it as best you can by selecting a signature set of hosiery from Hosieree.com.

Though not sheer, but see-through for their netting, our Lia Fishnet Lace Tights are the type that go well with fabrics like leather and silk. Pair these floral lace overlay tights are best worn with skirts that stop about 6 – 8 inches above the knee. The higher the patterned tights go, the better.

Pantyhose vs. Tights

In the wonderful world of hosiery, there are a potpourri of practical and fashionable options for women. However, as you embark on this hosiery seeking journey, you may be wondering what the difference between pantyhose and tights are. While the answer may seem obvious to some, many women do not realize and, therefore do not appreciate, the subtle intricacies of both.


What Are Pantyhose?



Panty hose are thin tights made of nylon. It is snug fitting legwear that comes from waist to toe, including a panty. Originated in the United states, they are transparent in sight and silky to the touch. Hosieree presents Pierre Mantoux Douceur 8 Denier Ultra Sheer Tights with a reinforced under waist band, double covered lycra yarn, and sheer toe to waist. Complete with flat seams and a reinforced toe, a cotton gusset,they are very silky and elegant. Ultra sheer pantyhose are most often made of the finest fibers and are commonly worn on special occasions.


What Are Tights

Tights are also close fitting but they are not usually as sheer as pantyhose are. Although they do cover from the waist to the toes also, tights are thicker and soft to the touch. At Hosieree, we offer Miss Seamless Tights, which feature microfiber sheer to the waist with a matte finish. These come with a fashionable elastic waistband in Bronze, Marron, Moreno, or Nero. You might also enjoy the Hosierre Opaque seamless Tights 60, which offer a thicker 3D lycra yarn, and a low fit waist band so that your tights will never show underneath your clothing. The color choices are True Black or Marron. 

Although pantyhose are usually a thinner option than tights, there are so many nuances involved with both, that professional care may be needed to help you decide. Hosieree can be that liaison between what you need and what you desire.
Pantyhose History

The History Of Pantyhose

Although women from all walks of life wear pantyhose without giving it much thought, most women do not know the history of pantyhose. Interestingly enough, we often go about our daily lives in stocking feet, never asking how this silky and sexy phenomenon began. 

The Beginning
In America, we started the practice of combining panties with sheer nylon hosiery. With rising hemlines, of the 1920s and nylon replacing silk and rayon as stockings in 1940, the foundation was set. By the 1940s and 1950s, play and film producers were sewing the stockings to the briefs of actresses and dancers. In 1953 the first commercial use for the pantyhose was undertaken by Allen Grant. However, their use was mainly for women in show business at this time. 
The Expansion
Ernest G. Rice created his own design, by the 1960s they became more cost efficient and more comfortable. With the introduction of the mini-skirt, by 1970 the popularity of the pantyhose had surpassed that of stockings. By the 1980s pantyhose had become a common wardrobe must have for most women. In the 2000s, pantyhose, although different than their original form, increased in styles, shapes and colors. Shapewear, colored tights, hosiery with patterns, footless, and other special designs expanded the demand for pantyhose.
The Build
1. Made from strong elastic for top of the waist.

2. Panty area was thicker, covering hips and buttocks.

3. The crotch is made of cotton.

4. The legs are made of thin fabric, usually nylon.

5. The toes of the pantyhose are often reinforced.

6. They can also be made from silk, cotton or wool.

7. Available in variations of standard sheer, very sheer,opaque, and semi-opaque.

8. Some men wear pantyhose for therapeutic reasons.

9. Control top pantyhose are for slimming effects.

10. Spandex gives elasticity.
Since the early 1940s and 1950s, women have worn pantyhose, first for necessity and eventually for comfort and style. At Hosieree, we are committed to this legacy of quality hosiery and are able to guide you in selecting the perfect pantyhose for your lifestyle. So check us out on the web and allow us to give you the most extravagant pantyhose experience available.
