Which Stockings Are Which? Knowing Your Hosiery
Fashion stockings and panty hose have become all the rage once again, and while this accessory item never really went out of style, today’s fashion divas have an unusually large number of options to choose from, especially from Hosieree.com However, when shopping, it can be hard to know just what the difference is between Denier tights and opaque panty hose, between support hosiery and sheer nylons. Here is some information that can help you understand what, exactly, you are sliding over your legs.
Denier
Denier simply refers to the thickness of the fabric. Many types of hosiery are made from yarn, and denier measurements refer to the sheerness of the hose and the lower the number, the more sheer they are. For example, a 20 Denier pair of hose will be sheerer than a 40 Denier pair. For those wanting a bare look, go for the ultra-sheer Denier such as the Cecilia De Rafaela Breeze Summer Pantyhose. These are perfect for summer skirts and dresses, give a bare look and are breathable and incredibly comfortable.
Support Hose
Support hosiery is typically made with a more compact weave, and offers support and compression on the legs. Support hose doesn’t have to mean unattractive; today’s support hose are gorgeous and come in many lovely patterns and styles. These types of hose simply offer greater pressure on the legs and ankles so that it will help with leg fatigue that comes from sitting or standing at work all day. The Folie 70 Stay Up Stockings are a great example of gorgeous Lycra stockings that feel great and look sexy.
Fashion Tights
Fashion tights are typically of a thicker Denier, and they are made to accentuate rather than blend into the background. These tights are very, very hot in the fashion world right now, and they are affordable and are available in about any color and style you want. From patterned tights like the Fiore Katia Fashion Tights that feature delicate embroidery up the side to the bolder Fiore Oriana Fashion Tights that feature metallic patterns, you can dress up your outfit easily.
The great thing about hosiery is that it makes your legs look great, it is one of the most affordable outfit accessories, and you can find something for the board room or the bedroom. Hosieree.com is your source for every kind of hosiery you could want, so look over our website and shop till you drop.
Support Hose Can Look Sexy Too
When most people think of support hose, they think of thick, cumbersome hose that just look awful. Thankfully, for those who actually do need support hose, you can now find some at Hosiree.com that are sexy and healthy!
Why Use Support Hose?
Support hose are often used for those who have vascular or circulation issues. For people who sit or stand all day, the blood doesn’t move through the body properly, and it can cause leg fatigue and varicose veins. Support hose offer tighter constriction on the legs, which prevents the blood from pooling in the legs.
Most support hose feature a heavier and tighter mesh particularly around the ankles and calves, where most of the vessel blood wants to pool. The constriction not only ensures that this pooling effect doesn’t happen, but it also helps the legs feel energized and fresh.
Whether your doctor ordered you to wear support hose or you know that your lifestyle really does require support hose, you don’t have to resign yourself to wearing drab and unattractive hose.
The Carezza 70 Low Waist Support Tights not only offer the extra comfort and compression around the legs, but the waist band is unusually giving and so ensures that you are completely comfortable at all times when wearing them. These tights are virtually invisible once on your legs so no one will know you are wearing support hose at all.
If you want a bit of dazzle in your support hose, try the Folie 70 Stay Up Stockings. Made with a broad Lycra lace border at the top for added sizzle, these wonderful stockings offer the perfect amount of compression and comfort as well as style. The majority of the compression effect is at the ankles and the wide border at the top is snug but not too tight so you are completely comfortable.
If you want a pair that can do it all, the Triple Effect Sliming Pantyhose is your ace. This incredibly multi-functional hose can offer you the compression your legs need, lift your buttocks and tighten your tummy and the built-in panties make sure your figure looks spectacular.
Don’t despair if you need to wear support hose – thanks to today’s technology and fashion advances, you can still look sexy and be comfortable too!
We at Hosieree.com can offer you physical comfort and our hot styles can offer you the comfort your ego needs, so enjoy looking your very best!
How To Care For Your Fun And Flirty Stockings
Fashion tights and stockings are a seriously hot trend, and women everywhere are wearing them in their daily lives and not just saving them for special occasions. Hosieree.com offers a wide array of styles and materials, and can turn your wardrobe into a fashion show in an instant! Here are some tips on how to keep your stockings looking like new:
Hand Wash
While some types of fabric, such as spandex, can technically be washed on the gentle cycle in a machine, it’s always best to hand wash your delicates. Use a very mild soap and when washing them by hand, avoid pulling and scrubbing hard. Use cool water and never hot or the hose could be damaged. Be gentle when you wash and rinse so the hose don’t lose their shape. Let the stocking air dry completely before you store them away.
When Wearing
Even the stoutest stocking fabric will still snag and run, so be sure you trim your nails and don’t let anything snag your stockings. Put them on carefully and roll them up the leg rather than tug. This will help them keep their elasticity and ensure you don’t unwittingly create a run. Be mindful of bumping into things, and avoid letting your stockings come into contact with seat cushions that could catch the fabric.
Storage
When your hose are stored between uses, don’t just crumple them up and stuff them in a drawer. The best way to store delicate hose is to roll them up carefully and put each pair in a soft cloth. For long term storage, put them in a zip lock bag or some type of air tight container to help prolong their life span. Do not store your hose aside bras or other lingerie that has a snap or fastener that could snag your hose.
Repairing A Snag
One quick fix if you do snag your hose is to apply a small drop of clear nail polish around the snag. This will prevent the snag from developing into a large run.

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.
History Behind The Hose
Opaque and sheer, fashion and fishnet, seamless and nylon! These different types of legwear are seen on women every day, accentuating, accessorizing, and polishing outfits. Some call them stockings while others call them tights and there is quite a bit to learn about this particular staple in women’s fashion. Hosiery is a garment that covers the feet and legs, often all the way into the waist area. Dating back to the early 20th century, women wore stockings hidden underneath dresses and skirts. These were thick and warm but not always stylish. It wasn’t until the 1940s that cotton stockings were traded in for nylon tights which were becoming a statement of fashion. No longer were nylons hidden, but now they were a thing to be shown off.
The evolution of hosiery is an interesting one but today, ladies incorporate a little bit of each era in their legwear fashions. Tights of all kinds are worn for all occasions. Sheer and opaque can worn under skirts to work, in business environments, and to church. Leggings, a different kind of legwear are sometimes seen in the same fashion but also paired with shorts, or sometimes nothing at all. Often, leggings are used as invisible extra layering in cold temperatures. Fashion tights feature sexy, lacy patterns and even seams which are making a major comeback. Though these tights are not worn by themselves, they are meant to be seen, whether underneath a little black dress, or on a couture runway.
Nylon and silk are some of the most commonly worn legwear materials and also the most delicate. Nylon and other stretchy mesh fabrics are threaded into the needles of knitting machines. These machines create the tights and then they are dyed to match different flesh tones. This is done to create the illusion of invisibility as the fabric hugs the legs and the color melts into the skin. When purchasing hosiery, one might spot the word “denier.” Denier measures density or thickness of a stocking or pair of tights. For example, ultra sheer tights have a denier of 10. The less sheer, the higher the denier number.
Hosieree adds a touch of sensuality and elegance to any woman’s wardrobe. Today’s technology allows females everywhere to create all sorts of looks with their tights whether it’s sheer and barely there or lacy and alluring. This is a fashion item that isn’t going anywhere.
Color Hosiery Trends for 2013 – 2014
Colorful
tights were all the rage at New York Fashion Week. While the fall and
winter weather will be chilly, you can easily cheer yourself up with
bright, colorful tights. Choose from a number of different colors, such
as green in various shades. This is one of the most versatile colors
around for fall and winter. Various shades from light to dark compliment
a whole range of winter outfits(Aber, Brigitte, Sabina40).
Bright yellows and oranges can
help cheer up even the most somber when the days are cold and overcast (Cortina40, Microfiber Sophie70, Freedom).
Yellow looks surprisingly good with purple(Miranda, Nelly, Miami) , this season’s favorite color
so far. Hosiery in orange or pink (Sevilla, Cortina40, Brigitte) makes a good compliment to white or
ivory clothing. Very eye-catching prints were seen on the runways, and
many women are trying these out for the first time after seeing them in
magazines.
Many leggings are in more muted colors equally
suitable for the office or enjoying a night out (Anica, Ave70, Eddy). Royal blue is a color
that goes with almost everything where you won’t go wrong (AlbaChiara40, Miguela, MoonLight). Burgundy is a
perfect fall color that is great for making the transition into winter (Noblesse, Nadin, Dorella) .
Military-style colors have been steadily gaining a lot of attention
among professional women ever since Fashion Week (Jennifer, Crys80, Sabina40) .
One of the
colors for thigh highs and other hosiery chosen by designers is white (Sandrine20, Alba, Mistery15).
It’s a perfect color for any time of year, but fits in really well with
winter. Don’t forget about black, the classic neutral color as at home
during the work day as it is at night (Cherir20, Debby40, Diva30) . Natural is perfect for women who
want to show off their legs, while staying warm during the cooler days (Elegance, Fusion, Pure Matt20).
These neutral colors can’t be beat for versatility. They are the easiest
to pair with the more colorful outfits expected to be in style
throughout the colder months this year.
