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!

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!

4 Ways To Wear Fishnet Stockings To Look More Classy Than Trashy

4 Ways To Wear Fishnet Stockings To Look More Classy Than Trashy

Fishnet stockings have been worn by women for decades. They are stylish, edgy, and they make a statement. Women who wear fishnets do not go unnoticed, but how you wear them can determine the perception of those who notice you. There are, however, ways to wear fishnets that look elegant and tasteful. Try following these 4 tips for fishnet perfection.

1 – Choose your outfits wisely. Avoid becoming the classic image that people get in their minds with they hear the word “fishnet stockings.” You know, high cut mini-skirt, low cut tank top, and stiletto heels. Reserve that for Halloween fun and keep your outfit tasteful. Try pairing Olympia Fishnet Pantyhose with a pair of capris or a skirt that hits below the knee. 

2 – Choose a smaller fishnet pattern. Fishnets can be worn elegantly when they come in a tiny, subtle pattern. If you want to wear a shorter hem or an edgier outfit, the tiny design on Bellissima’s Microette Fishnet Tights adds a level of sophistication as opposed to shock.

3 – Avoid too much noise.  By this we mean, don’t wear bright and bold patterns with your fishnet stockings. Avoid items like large hoop earrings and hot red faux alligator bags. Let your fishnets be your stand-out accessory. This gives you room to get bold with a pair of fishnet tights with vertical stripes

4 – Close your toe. Can you wear stockings with an open toe? Sometimes. Can you wear fishnet stockings with an open toe? Never. Open toe shoes and fishnets are like nails on a chalkboard; jarring. Keep it classy and only wear closed toed shoes with your fishnets

You Have To Feel Good To Look Good

One final thing to keep in mind: If you don’t feel comfortable wearing fishnet stockings, don’t. Some people feel that they are too risqué, regardless of how they’re worn. In order to look good on the outside, you must feel good on the inside, so if fishnets don’t make you feel good, you won’t look good despite your best efforts.

But if you can’t wait to buy your first pair, or fifteenth pair, of fishnet stockings, you’re in luck. At Hosieree.com, we have a wide range of options available. Fishnets are a lasting trend that goes back to the basics of feminine legwear. Browse through our products and pick the best pair to take make your legs more glamorous than ever.
