Do’s and Don’ts of Lace Tights

Lace adds a touch of sexiness to any wardrobe. However, it takes a good eye to make sure you strike a balance between hot and not, and don’t go overboard. 

If you want to take the lace game out of the bedroom and into your everyday outfits, here are practical and easy ways to do so. Incorporate a touch of femme fatale and still be work-appropriate, so you can take office wear to the next level.

Go For Fine Textures

Conservative workplaces may force you to switch your finer tastes for sensible shoes. The good thing about lace tights is that they add a touch of sexy and conservative, so long as you pick the right texture.

For offices, it’s best to go with subtle and fine textures. These go well with solid colors and power dresses. Finer styles ensure that they add sexy but do not scream for attention, and won’t have HR sending you a memo on appropriate outfits.

Be Careful of Color

There are no hard or fast rules when it comes to dressing with splashes of color as long as you know the complements with the contrasts and make them work to your advantage. However, when it comes to tights and hosiery, it may be better to stick with colors that complement so your legs will not stand out too much to break the composition of your OOTD.

If you prefer clashing colors on your outfits, up your shade game and distinguish which shade of two clashing colors works best. While vivid yellow and bright violet can bring an abstract vibe to your outfit, picking mustard yellow and a darker violet would hold a more sophisticated shade.

Make your knowledge of color work to your advantage when picking out your next pair of textured tights.

Pick the Right Hemline 

A common short girl problem is whether textured tights would look great on them. The long-legged are blessed because they can showcase nice lace tights and make the pattern work to make their legs even longer and slimmer. 

The same can work for any petite women as long as you pick the right hemline for your dress or skirt. Try to pair a nicely designed pair of tights with a hemline that shows off your legs. The good thing about pairing tights with skirts is that even if you go for a shorter length, you can still go for a coy but conservative look with the right pair of tights.

Knowing the right pair of pumps or kickers also does the trick. Sometimes, it can work with boots, but if you pair plain dresses or skirts with textured tights, to break the monotonous pattern. Opting for pumps gives the slight advantage of letting the texture of the tights speak for itself and highlight your gams.

Hoiseree holds a wide array of textured lace tights. Check out which design works well with your daily office or date outfits, and try on a pair.

Go Classy for Classics: Pairing Classy Hosiery with Classic Blue Outfits

Go Classy for Classics: Pairing Classy Hosiery with Classic Blue Outfits

The year 2020’s pantone color of the year is classic blue. As fashion and design goes back to the classics, this is a nice time to explore your style in the same direction. 

Whip out some of your classic blue outfits or add touches of blue to your wardrobe that will keep you on trend for the coming season. Best of all, classic blue can be a regal but also playful color—and what better way to up the ante than adding the classy classic hosiery to finish your outfits?

Check out these three ways to wear blue outfits with hosiery for next year’s fashion season.

Classic and Formal Wear

Just because bare legs at cocktail parties are already on-trend does not mean you cannot bring back the appeal of pantyhose at the next formal gathering. Tights can give a dash of oomph to your outfit, especially when paired with a darker shade of blue for your dress.

This works particularly for evening events, as a pair of black pantyhose with a dress gives it a more formal vibe, and elevates the mini dress into a fabulous and fancy affair.

The Classic Office On-trend Look

Who says dresses can’t be power suits? Unleash your stylish femme fatale by pairing classic black tights with blue dresses or skirts in the office. Tights can that one factor that transforms a look from boring to business in one fell swoop.

There are two ways to go about this. You can opt for neutral tights, which will create a smooth, matte finish for your gams and highlight a classic blue outfit. Another way is to create a slight contrast with black tights and pumps paired with a blue dress or a power suit with a pencil skirt, if you really, really mean business as usual.

The Playful Navy Dress

The navy dress can be a Sunday wear or an after-office stylish look. You can pull off both looks by pairing the right type of hosiery with the dress on each occasion.

Colored tights can bring a playful contrast, whether you opt for a burgundy pair or a classic white or cream combo. The former will have a very trendy look, while the latter has a touch of a classic sailor look.

Lace tights also work wonders with a navy dress. Pair a plain navy one piece with textured lace tights and finish it off with sleek black pumps for a party-ready look.

How to Rock the Formal Wear With Hosiery

How to Rock the Formal Wear With Hosiery

Attending a wedding but don’t feel like buying a new cocktail dress? You’re not alone in this issue! We understand the importance of always looking your best but also balancing your expenses when it comes to having a perfect wedding attire.

Instead of buying a new dress to wear, why not focus on wearing an old dress differently? One way to spice up your formal wear is to add hosiery to the overall look. Check out these three tips which can help tide you and your old trusty black cocktail dress over for your next formal event.

Cocktails and Prints

A staple approach to wearing hosiery with cocktail dresses is to have either black tights or textured tights. This gives that little black dress an extra oomph for style.

For the more practical ones, pairing black tights with a dress also acts as a safety blanket. No need to worry about that updraft, if you have a nice pantyhose.

When wearing a cocktail dress, try to experiment with lacy tights or a textured hosiery. With the right design, you can teeter the border between edgy and sexy—and this is a nice combo you may want to aim for.

Fashion Fit For a Princess

Ever looked at Princess Kate Middleton and think that she looks unbelievably classy in whatever she wears? A great fashion sense may be a big part of it, but one reason that contributes to it is her preference for nude pantyhose. 

While it takes some guts and style to pull off royalty fashion, it is possible, as long as you understand when to use it and how to pair it well with your outfit. Nude pantyhose is a nice touch that could keep your legs warm without interfering with your fashion sensibilities. Just remember to try and keep it as close to your skin tone, especially for a more formal ensemble.

Tights and Pantyhose with Open-Toed Shoes?

In fashion, hosiery is meant to give outfits a fun twist, especially the lacy and textured styles. However, you may have to deal with the age-old fashion debate: do I wear tights or pantyhose with open-toed shoes or not?

The verdict lies more with your fashion taste and the occasion. There are some cases when this combination would be off, particularly when using nude color options. Unless you are using pantyhose for practical purposes, including protection from cold temperature or a good cover for varicose veins, it may be a good idea to skip the nude hosiery if you’re rocking an open-toed kicker.

However, colored pantyhose is a different matter. If your style is edgy—think of an all-red ensemble paired with a black pantyhose—then this can definitely work.

Check out some of the unique styles that Hosieree carries. Make sure to find your size—we’ll help you using our trusty size charts!—and revamp your style for an edgy, classy look with hosiery.

Furthermore, you should also wear socks for extra warmth. You can wear them over or under your tights depending on your outfit idea. You can wear an elegant knee-high such as our Casual 20- Elegant Knee-Highs and Diagonal 70 Fashion Knee-Highs, or these basic Cotton Liners Sport Socks.

How to Properly Care for Fine Hosiery

How to Properly Care for Fine Hosiery

Tights, leggings, pantyhose, and stockings are some of the essential clothing pieces for cold weather. They are particularly helpful in creating a layered ensemble that’s not only warm and comfortable, but chic and stylish, too.

You surely love your Hosierre.com hosiery and we know that you want to make them last. Since you’re likely to find yourself using them more often this season, we thought we’d share with you some essential care and maintenance tips that will help you enjoy your treasured hosiery longer.

1. Know when and how to wash.

Let’s make this clear: you don’t have to wash your hosiery after every wear. If they don’t get soiled, you can wear them up to three times before washing. This is particularly the case during winter, when you don’t really sweat a lot.

Think about your tights and leggings as though they are pants. Let’s be real here. How often do you wash your pants and jeans, really?

For hosiery, the less you wash, the better, because they will last longer. As long as they don’t smell and they aren’t stained, you can wear them one or two times more before washing.

Furthermore, you should know how to wash them properly. Here at Hosierre.com, we recommend hand washing and refrain from wringing them. Simply hang them by the band to make sure that they retain their shape.

2. Know how to handle them.

Fine hosiery is delicate and you need to handle and wear them with as much care as possible. When handling and wearing your hosiery, make sure your toe and fingernails do not have rough edges. It’s also best to remove jewelry before wearing tights, stocking, or pantyhose. Make sure you remove them with care, too.

3. Know how to store them.

Hosiery are not like school socks that you can roll into a ball. Fold your hosiery in half, with one leg over the other. Then, fold in half once more before putting them neatly in a drawer. Storing hosiery this way will help preserve the fibers.

For high-quality hosiery that you’ll love every second that you’re wearing them, check out our wide selection at Hosierre.com!

Fun and Chic Ways to Wear Tights This Coming Holidays

Fun and Chic Ways to Wear Tights This Coming Holidays

This coming holiday season, you will probably go to a number of gatherings and parties. You don’t have to stress yourself out thinking about what to wear each time you’re going out. With the right bottoms, mixing and matching will be a breeze!

Many think that leggings and tights are too casual to wear to events, but there’s actually a lot of ways you can make it fun and chic. Here are five classy and easy ways to wear leggings and tights this coming holiday.

1. Go Metallic

Match a winter legging, like our 3D Winter Leggings with a sparkly, metallic tunic. It’s best if you’d go monochromatic, with the sparkly and metallic fibers of your top serving as the highlight of your outfit. You can finish your look with an equally captivating dangling or chandelier earrings, and knee-high suede boots from the same color palette. A velvet bag will also go well with this look.

2. The Classic White Shirt

A pair of leggings such as our Bellissima Leggings Push Up With Modeling Effect will go well with a crisp white shirt, preferably one that rests at the hip. Then, spice up your look with some holiday-themed accessories. Think red and gold drop earrings and a shiny red handbag.

3. From Dress to Top

Do you have a festive-colored dress that’s too short to be worn on a winter day? Get it out of the closet and wear it with a glossy pair of tights like our Black Brilliant Tights. Essentially, you’re turning the dress into a tunic and you won’t have to wait for summer to wear it. Grab some suede booties to mix up the textures of your outfit.

4. Cozy Up in a Sweater

Just because it’s cold out and you can’t go out without a sweater doesn’t mean you can’t be chic and fab. For instance, you can pair our Artica 120 Tights in Wool and Cotton with your favorite turtleneck sweater. If you’re still feeling cold, a pair of knee-high boots can add extra warmth. Make sure you accessorize with statement earrings.

5. Make It Pop

Another great way to embody the season’s festivities is to wear a bold and bright pair of leggings or tights and match it with a neutral-colored top. Check out our Margit Fashion Tights that come in three color options or the Uppsala Wet Looking Tights that come in seven festive colors.

Are You Putting On Your Hosiery Correctly?

Are You Putting On Your Hosiery Correctly?

Even the best made European hosiery will have a certain delicate nature to it. Even when it’s built to last, the wrong care of your hosiery can leave you with holes, runs, and pilling along the surface of the nylon. At Hosieree.com, we want you to get the very best out of your hosiery, and we know that this starts with just how you put your hosiery on. For many who find they run through hosiery too often, they don’t realize that their method of putting on their hosiery could be contributing to their problem in a major way.

The process of putting on your hosiery starts long before you even pull your hose out from your drawer. Ideally, you’ll prepare your hands, legs, and feet before each time you put on your hose. Split or jagged nails, rough skin, and jewelry can all snag on your hosiery and cause the materials to break down. Before ever putting on your hose, make sure your nails are taken care of, your jewelry taken off, your legs moisturized, and your skin exfoliated to ensure your hosiery has nothing to snag onto.

Next, you’ll want to put your hosiery in a front-forward position. With hosiery in the right position, you’re ready to gather one leg with your hands until you reach the toe of the hosiery. Hold the waist gently, and use your fingers to slowly bunch the hosiery until your thumbs reach the toe area. Once bunched, insert your foot into the toe portion and allow the hosiery to un-bunch as you draw it up your leg. Once you reach just above the knee, stop pulling the hosiery up and begin the process on the other leg.

After your legs are covered, you should have enough material left over to easily pull the hosiery up to your waist. You may have to make some adjustments to ensure there are no twists or bunches in your hosiery, and these should be done carefully as not to put unnecessary stress on the fabric.

When you put on your hosiery the right way, you’re completing the first necessary step to ensuring you’re taking the best possible care of your hose. For more on hosiery care, or finding that perfect pair, contact us at Hosieree.com today.

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.

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.

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. To find your best fitting hose yet, check us out at Hosieree.com today!
