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.

4 Hosiery Hacks That Everyone Should Know

4 Hosiery Hacks That Everyone Should Know

If you want to get the most out of your hosiery, you need to learn a few hacks that will allow you to do just that. Hosiery doesn’t just make you look good but also serves a function that no other clothing piece can. It slims you, perfects you, and adds elegance and style all at once. To have an even better experience with your favorite pairs of hose, here are 4 hosiery hacks that you can try today.

  • Go non-slip – When you wear your summer hose with strappy sandals, you might find that your feet tend to slip around a bit more with the soft fabric of the hose on the soles of your feet. This hack is a favorite of none other than Princess Kate Middleton, and it’s the non-slip grip. Non-slip sole pantyhose ensure that your feet stay put in your favorite footwear. Our Acapulco 7 Non-Slip Sole Pantyhose are both ultra-sheer and toeless, so they go perfectly with every piece in your summer wardrobe.
  • Keep a dryer sheet in your bag – If you’ve ever run into the “sticky skirt” problem, you’re certainly not alone. At times, your pantyhose can attract a bit of static electricity, causing some fabrics to stick to them as you walk. A quick and easy fix involves rubbing a clean dryer sheet on the statically charged areas. This only takes a couple of seconds, but it makes a huge difference.
  • Use knee-highs to stop blisters – Not everyone likes wearing socks with flats, especially at the office, but blisters come with pain and embarrassment that are difficult to deal with while working. To prevent blisters, wear knee-high hosiery to keep your look refined while stopping unwanted friction in its tracks.
  • Opt for sheer hosiery to prevent chafing – Even if you weren’t planning to wear hosiery with your outfit for the day, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a pair ready inside your bag. Walking around in the summer heat can cause chafing between the legs where the thighs rub together, leading to discomfort very quickly. Putting on a pair of sheer hose won’t change your look, but it will put an end to the chaffing issue.

If you’re searching for the perfect pair of hose to incorporate into your wardrobe this summer, check out what we have in stock at Hosieree.com today. With the wide range of options we offer, you’ll surely find the hosiery that’s right for you in no time.

Four Easy Tips To Make Your Legs Look Longer And Leaner With Tights

Four Easy Tips To Make Your Legs Look Longer And Leaner With Tights

The best thing about wearing tights is that you can achieve any look you want. You can enhance your natural beauty with the right pieces. If you want to have the look of longer, leaner legs, there are some simple tips that can help you do so. Here are our top tips that anyone can do:

1. Match Your Shoes

Matching your shoes creates an uninterrupted line along your legs. Wearing shoes of a different color creates a visual barrier between your legs and your feet. Removing this barrier by wearing shoes of the same color as your tights can help your legs look miles long. Fortunately, tights like the Brigitte 15 Denier Pantyhose come in a wide variety of colors so they can match any footwear.

2. Choose A Darker Color

Dark colors like black, navy, and royal purple are naturally slimming. This is because dark colors hide any shadows and create a visual illusion of thinner lines, especially when worn on the legs. Luckily, you don’t have to stick to black. We have a beautiful selection of darker colors like the gorgeous dark magenta of the Sevilla LIbero Seamless Glossy Pantyhose in Cruela or the stunning emerald green of the Diamond Shimmering Fashion Tights in Smeraldo.

3. Opt For Opaque

Opaque tights with a denier rating of 40 or higher are also quite slimming. Opaque tights are thicker, so they hide any imperfections that you would see with a sheerer pair. They also create a solid visual line that can lengthen your legs. If you want to achieve this look, consider the Seidenglatt 70 Opaque Sheen Tights. They are thick and opaque, but the sheen helps distinguish them from leggings.

4. Go Vertical

Vertical stripes are the best pattern for making your legs look longer and leaner. That is because your eyes immediately follow the line upward, highlighting the length of your legs. To try this look for yourself, go for the 615 Mesh Open Crotch Pantyhose. You can also try a simple tuxedo line like the one featured on the Cosmo 40 Tights.

These tips will help you have the long, lean legs you’ve always wanted in an instant. At Hoseiree.com, we have the hosiery you need to achieve any look. Our European-made hosiery is manufactured using the finest quality materials and the most advanced techniques, so you won’t have to worry about your new look being ruined by unsightly tears or runs. Check out our full selection to find the pair that’s perfect for you.

Looking After Your Delicate Sheer Hosiery

Looking After Your Delicate Sheer Hosiery

Spring is here and summer will be coming close on its heels. This is the time of year you’ll be breaking out your sheer hosiery the most, and you’ll want your favorite pairs to last all year long and beyond. Sheer hosiery is often a bit more delicate than heavier opaque hose, and this means they’ll also require a bit more delicate care.

The care for your delicate sheer hose begins before you even take them out of the package. Before opening the package your sheer hosiery comes in, make sure that your nails are filed and your hands moisturized. Any snags in your nails or skin could catch onto the hosiery, causing runs or tears before you even get the chance to wear. When you’re putting on your hosiery, moisturize your hands and legs, and delicately roll the hosiery onto each leg. Remove any jewelry you may have on, and make sure any stretching of the hosiery is done carefully. Once your hosiery is on, gently pull on the toe portions to leave a little room and prevent tears from forming at the toes.

When you take off your hosiery at the end of the day, do the opposite of what you did to put them on. Gently roll the hosiery down, and don’t pull harshly from the toe. Roll down until the hosiery simply rolls off of your legs and feet, and then store gently until you’re ready to wash.

Washing your delicate hosiery is something of a process, and if you plan to use a washing machine, using a mesh washing bag is always recommended. Hosiery is ideally handwashed, however, using gentle detergent and kept far away from any jewelry or other garments to discourage snagging. Your hosiery  can be hanged to dry gently, or they can be placed between two dry towels and laid flat until dry.

When you store your fine hosiery, you’ll also want to take special care. Store your hosiery separately from all other clothing, and ideally not directly on a wooden drawer. Wood can have small splinters you cannot see, but that doesn’t mean they won’t snag your hose. Line your hosiery drawer or keep your hosiery stored in small bags or tubs to ensure they remain protected.

We have all the fine and delicate sheer hosiery pieces you need to make your spring and summer wardrobe a star this year. To see what we have for you, contact us at Hosieree.com today!

Getting Your Spring Wardrobe Ready With Tights

Getting Your Spring Wardrobe Ready With Tights

Spring is upon us, and with it shorter hemlines, breezy sunny days, and plenty of opportunity to make the most of your hosiery. Spring is really a “golden” season when it comes to hosiery. In the winter months, your only real everyday options are opaque and knitted tights, but the spring really opens up so many other possibilities for you to take advantage of. On chillier days, you’re more than welcome to wear those knit tights and opaque pairs of hose, but you can also play with sheer, fishnet, and lighter looks when the warmer weather allows.

If your hosiery wardrobe isn’t quite ready for spring, a few must-haves for your hosiery drawer this season are:

  • Back seam tights – With the shorter hems that come in the spring, back seam tights are perfect for elongating your leg and slimming your figure. They’re cute and flirty with any outfit, and they really ramp up that sex appeal for short skirts on date nights. With a pencil type skirt that reaches the knee, these can even be worn professionally in the office.
  • Go floral – Springtime is the time to wear your florals proudly, and this means with your hosiery as well! Floral patterned hosiery brings that touch of spring freshness to absolutely any outfit. With a simple outfit, they really let your legs stand out as the statement piece of your entire look.
  • Embrace the knee – Throughout the winter, you probably haven’t had much opportunity to use your legs as a real part of your look, and that rings especially true for anything above the knee. As you’re breaking out the higher hems, use your hosiery to bring a little fun into your looks with knee-high styles in your hosiery.
  • Sheer hosiery – Sheer hosiery is a major staple for spring and summer, and this is hosiery you’ll use to really perfect the look of your legs on those warmer days. With a classic pair of sheer nude hose, you’ll really get the full perfection effect you’re looking for.

At Hosieree.com, we have just what you’re looking for no matter the season, the outfit, or the occasion. If you’re looking to revamp your spring hosiery wardrobe, we’re confident we have exactly what you’re looking for. Check out our stock today to get your hosiery wardrobe ready for spring!

Choosing The Right Hosiery For Your Look

Choosing The Right Hosiery For Your Look

So you have your whole look planned out, and now you’re just stuck on the hosiery. Do you want to make a statement? Do you want your hosiery to add an “edgy” appeal? What about adding a bit of classic refinement? Are you trying to get a little funky with your hosiery? Choosing the right hosiery for your look is an important part of piecing an outfit together, and we have just the hosiery picks you need. A few tips for always choosing the right hosiery for every outfit are:

  • Black tights complete a look – If you’re looking for a “stand out” sort of appeal, opaque black tights might not be what you reach for, but these are staple pieces of any hosiery wardrobe. What black tights do is complete a look, and do so in a way that is understated but still important all the same. With patterns, neutral shades, boots, heels, and everything in between, if you’re simply looking for an easy finishing touch, you may want to reach for your black hose.
  • Colored tights add pop – If you’re wearing a lot of neutrals, or you’re simply trying to tie that “must have” accessory into your outfit, you’ll want to consider your colored tights. These add a real pop to your look, and they can help you to tie in those earrings, that bag, or that jacket with ease. If you’re trying to take a bit of the glumness out of an all-black outfit, try tying in a bright pair of jewel tone tights.
  • Patterned hosiery adds interest – If you’re wearing solid colors and classic fabrics, you might be looking for that piece to add a bit of interest into your look. A bag works, but it’s still an accessory and not an item to be worn on the body. This is where patterned tights really add something special, bringing particular interest and a true statement to your overall look. Florals, geometrics, and even quirky novelty print tights can be just what you’re looking for.

No matter the look you’re going for, we have just the hosiery you’re looking for. To find the perfect pair to suit your outfit, check us out at Hosieree.com today.
