How to Put on Tights While Avoiding Ladders

How to Put on Tights While Avoiding Ladders

If you wear tights often, then you are already well aware of this fear—you are pulling your tights up only to notice a ladder. A ladder is a run in the tights or a long hole often appearing when you pull them up. To avoid this, follow these easy tips. 

1. Avoid putting on jewelry and accessories until after you have put on your tights. Never pull up tights while wearing jewelry, including bracelets, watches, rings, and long necklaces. These can easily get caught up in your tights as you pull them on, causing a ladder. 

2. Clip your nails. Before wearing tights, make sure your fingernails and toenails are clipped to an appropriate length, so they don’t pose a risk to your tights. 

3. When you start pulling the tights up, roll one leg to the toe part and then gently slide your foot into the rolled-up leg. You can then carefully pull the tights up over the heel. Repeat these steps for your other foot. Slowly pull the tights up and over your knees.

4. You can continue slowly pulling them up until they are over your hips and waist. Take great care when doing this. If you go too fast, you risk a ladder and other damage and will have to find a new pair of tights and start the process over.

Would a Higher Denier Help?

Yes! A higher denier means thicker tights. Tights with a lower denier are much more likely to tear and rip faster. If you want to wear tights with a lower denier, go for a bigger size, so you don’t overstretch the fabric and risk any runs or ladders.

Is There a Best Way to Store Tights?

When storing your tights, you should roll them up or fold them neatly before placing them into your drawer. Storing them separately is another good way to prevent ladders. You also want to ensure all your tights are stored separately from your bras and other undergarments to avoid damage. The tights can easily get hooked onto a bra.

Tips for Buying Hosiery Online

Tips for Buying Hosiery Online

Choosing what we wear on our legs is just as important as the rest of the ensemble we put together. And thanks to the many advances in the fashion industry, we have a wide selection of the best choices in hosiery. Here are a few expert tips for buying hosiery online.

Find a Dedicated Site

You want to start your journey by traveling to a site that is dedicated to legwear. They are the experts, after all. We have a vast selection of high-quality hosiery you will love. You can also take in our knowledge and expertise when it comes to finding the best hosiery for your body type. 

Look for Variety

You also want to purchase hosiery from an online site that offers the variety you need. You might be in the wrong place if you can’t find pantyhose and tights in the same online store as your thigh highs and stay up stockings. You also want to make sure there is some variety in the different styles, sizes, colors, and patterns you choose.

Check the Size Chart

Size charts are always helpful when estimating the size you may need for hosiery online. Our size charts give several measurements to pinpoint the right size. You may consider sizing up to avoid aggravating waistband rolling if you are in between sizes. 

Thicker Means Stronger

If the legwear you choose is thicker, it will be stronger and much more durable than most sheer options. However, remember that the thicker they are, the less leg you show. Always consider the thickness of the legwear you purchase online. 

Thicker legwear is also good for hiding any imperfections you may have. To understand the denier of your hosiery, you need to consider its opacity. 

Understand the Differences

It is also important to understand the difference between the different hosiery types, so you purchase exactly what you need. For example, stockings are a true classic. They cover your leg up to mid-thigh and are often reserved for special occasions.

On the other hand, tights tend to be sheer and more skin tight. They can easily dress up your legs while showing them off in the best way. 

There you have it. These are just a few tips you can keep in mind when browsing hosiery online. For a high-quality selection of everything you may need to dress up or upgrade your wardrobe, visit us at hosieree.com today.

4 Reasons to Have Nude Tights for Summer Looks

4 Reasons to Have Nude Tights for Summer Looks

The weather is scorching as we embrace the summer sun. We have traded our coats and boots for flip-flops, wedges, and sundresses. It is also time to trade our winter leggings for something more appropriate for summer.

Here are a few great reasons you should have some nude tights in your wardrobe for your summer looks.

1. Achieve the Bare Leg Look

Nude tights offer a ton in the way of versatility. Nude and sheer tights that match your skin tone can hide any imperfections on your leg while still allowing you to achieve that bare leg look you want for summer. Forget the spray tan, pull on a pair of nude tights or stockings instead of going bare-legged and enhance any look you have for summer.

2. Embrace the Versatility

Again, nude tights are much more versatile than you may even know. Not only can you wear them when you dress formally, but they can also be worn with other more casual looks. There really is no limit to the different ways you can embrace the versatility of a nude tight during the summer.

3. Cover Up Imperfections

Maybe you didn’t have time to shave or have some imperfections you want to cover up without having to use makeup or fake spray tan. Nude tights offer the perfect cover. From discoloration and varicose veins to a birthmark or blotches, nude tights in the right shade can cover all this.

4. A Classic Choice

Aside from the obvious we have already discussed, nude tights are just a classic choice all around. They are versatile, go with your wardrobe for any season, and are comfortable for all-day wear. They are a great way to look more sophisticated and stylish during the summer. They can easily enhance your legs and can complete any ensemble. 

So, what are you waiting for? Hosieree.com has a vast selection of tights and stockings to choose from, so you can build a successful and stylish summer wardrobe to turn heads this season.

Bring A Little Color Into Your Hosiery Wardrobe

Bring A Little Color Into Your Hosiery Wardrobe

Most women have experience with black hosiery, nude hosiery, and perhaps white hosiery. While these are an excellent base to start out with, why not branch out into other colors of the rainbow? Hosiery enhances your looks, and just like you’d have many different colored shirts, skirts, or pairs of shoes, why not bring that kind of selection to your hosiery wardrobe as well.

If you’re just starting out in making your hosiery collection a little brighter, there’s a number of shades you might one to start out with to try out brightly colored hose. For your brights, going all the way bright is a great way to get fun while giving yourself something whimsical to work with. The Cecilia De Rafael Sevilla Libero Seamless Glossy Pantyhose in Lima and the Fiore Cotton Candy 8 Den Ultra Sheer Pantyhose in Lime are two great examples. Both in a bright, vivid, and electric green shade, you can play with this stand-out hosiery by first pairing with basic blacks, then branching out to dressing up more eclectic looks. These sheer hose are perfect for bringing that touch of pop color to tie your outfit all together. 

While the electric pops of the Cecilia De Rafael Sevilla Libero Glossy Pantyhose in Lima and the Fiore Cotton Candy in Lime are bright and poppy, you can also make things a bit more dramatic with your colored hose. The Cecilia De Rafael Uppsala Wet Looking Tights feature a glossy and almost metallic looking finish in a high denier tight perfect for the darker fall and winter months. Blues, purples, greens, silvers, and more can be found in a look that puts instant drama and a chic edge into any outfit you put together. 

As you get more comfortable playing with color, you might want to combine two trends in one with color and pattern. The Trasparenze Varanasi Fashion Tights, for instance, come in a selection of different colors while featuring a unique and abstract print that’s easy to match in with different looks. Opaque and comfortable, they may even be used to bring your favorite tailored shorts into the fall and winter months. 

Playing with color is something we love at Hosieree.com. If you’re interested in bringing a little brightness into your hosiery wardrobe, see what we have in store today.

How To Master Tights

How To Master Tights

Tights can create a bold look. While the looks are trendy and all over the high-fashion runways, they can be a little intimidating to those who may not choose to go bold often. You can always start slowly with tights, or you can jump right in with trying all of the boldest looks right away. We at Hosieree.com want to help you to master tights, feel comfortable in every pair, and have fun with your hosiery collection. 

First and foremost, if you’re under-experienced in the world of tights, start with the classic – opaque black. Opaque black tights are a fashion staple, and you can wear them in bold looks, modest looks, and everything in between. They’re the pair of tights that will really let you play with your looks, see what you like, and branch out slowly if you so please. With opaque black tights, you can go shorter with your hemlines, brighter with your colors, and more interesting with your patterns. Another unintended perk? Opaque black tights can make you look slimmer instantly. 

On the other end of the spectrum are sheer tights. Where black tights are versatile and classic, sheer tights bring sex appeal. If you’re wearing a longer hemline and you want to bring a bit of sexiness into your look, sheer tights are the simplest way to do it. Additionally, if you’re wearing an A-line dress with a whimsical print, and you want to mature the outfit a bit, sheer tights and a pair of heels will make any quirky dress look more “adult”. If you’re wearing a shorter hemline or sexier look, however, you may choose a pair of tights that tone down rather than ramp up depending on the occasion. 

We have black, we have sheer, but what about colors? Any “drab” outfit that needs a little vibrancy or life can get that touch of excitement from a great pair of colored tights. Either opaque or sheer, colored hosiery brings a certain liveliness to any look and really turns something basic into something fun and full of personality. 

Whether you want to start small with a simple pair of opaque black tights, or you want to go all out with bright colors, bold patterns, and some sexy sheer hose, we have just what you need at Hosieree.com. Check us out today to see where your tights can take you!

Choosing The Hosiery That Best Flatters Your Figure

Hosiery can transform your look in more ways than one. Not only can it bring your shorter hemlines to the office, your basic skirts to an edgy or high fashion level, and your shorts into the fall and winter seasons, it can also transform the way your body looks as well. Choosing hosiery to flatter your figure ensures you’ll always look your best no matter what you choose to wear. A few tips for choosing the hosiery that best flatters your figure are: 

• Bringing the height – Not all people have legs that go on for miles, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create the illusion that they do. If you’re looking to elongate the leg what you want from your hosiery are long lines. Our Cecilia de Rafael Hyde Park Back Seam Pantyhose  has back seams that take the eye all the way from the heel up to the back of the tight, elongating the leg in a simple, elegant, and classic way. 

• Vertical designs and small patterns slim the leg – If you’re looking to create a slimmer silhouette, vertical designs and small patterns are the way to go, and especially when on black hosiery. The Adrian Constance Fashion Sheers in Nero or Giulia Afina 40 Fashion Tights are perfect examples  you can find at Hosieree.com for subtle slimming you can mix and match with just about any outfit. 

• Color and bold patterns play up your curves – For those who wish to play up their curves, you may want to look into bold colors and bold patterns to give your legs a thicker, curvier, and bolder look. The Calzitaly Fishnet Tights with Leopardo Pattern are a perfect example of hosiery to really give your curves a moment in the spotlight using a bold pattern, while the Trasparenze Microfiber Sophie 70-Opaque Tights are just what you’re looking for if you’d prefer to play with color. 

With the right combination, your hosiery can really polish your outfit and give you the silhouette you’ve always dreamed of by adding one simple accessory. If you’re looking for your perfect hose to slim, elongate, or emphasize, check out what we have in stock at Hosieree.com today.

Stockings Are The Hottest Trend Coming Out Of Fashion Week

Stockings Are The Hottest Trend Coming Out Of Fashion Week

Stockings are back in a big way this season and were seen in looks all over the runways of Paris, Milan, and New York. We saw classic tweed pieces paired with thigh-high sheer white stockings in Paris. Milan runways featured knee-high sheer black stockings layered under ankle boots. While designers in New York showed jet black thigh high stockings with textures. Luckily, you don’t have to pay fashion house prices to add these trending looks to your closet.

What Is The Difference Between Pantyhose And Stockings?

People often use pantyhose and stockings interchangeably. However, there is a major difference between the two garments. Pantyhose are sheer and usually made of nylon with a denier weight between 8 and 30. They cover the full leg from the toe to the waistband. Stockings on the other hand can be sheer or opaque and range in denier weight. The key difference though is stockings vary in length between under the knee to mid-thigh. They are either secured with a garter belt or have a lining at the top to hold them in place.

Get The Look

Now that you know the difference between pantyhose and stockings, here is how you can get the runway looks. These options offer the same high-end designer quality but at a much more affordable price point:

Trasparenze Sara Classic Sheer: These sheer stockings have a denier of 20. They also have a reinforced toe and a glossy finish which makes them a perfect wardrobe staple. They come in a variety of colors to achieve the perfect look.

Elly Knee-Highs 140 Semi-Opaque: Available in black and two shades of nude tones, these knee-highs are a perfect way to capture the looks of the Milan runways. They are semi-opaque with a denier weight of 140. Great for everyday wear, these knee highs have a graduated compression that slims the legs and provides a comfortable wear.

Fiore Malena Suspender Stockings: If you are looking for a statement piece for your wardrobe, these sheer spotted tights are a must-have. Available in a gorgeous shade of ecru, they will easily match any outfit while still adding a bit of interest.

These three options are just some of the great choices available at Hoisieree.com. We offer a full range of stockings in every color, size, and denier weight you can imagine. All of our stockings are European-grade, so they are durable and will last you through this season and many more. The best part is they are affordably priced so you can get runway looks without runway prices.

Accessories To Spice Up Hosiery

We know that hosiery is more than just a clothing item. Often, we associate it with feeling and looking sexy. More importantly, wearing hosiery can lend us an instant confidence boost. Even when we’re the only ones who know we’re wearing them, making the effort to look good can make us feel we’re looking our best.

If you’re a regular wearer however, this feeling might have worn off a tad bit. In this case, maybe it’s time to try some accessories to bring back some fun and excitement to putting on hosiery. We’ve picked a few of our more playful accessories on Hosieree.com for you to check out:

Garter Belts

If you’re a regular stocking wearer, you probably already have quite a few dependable garter belts in your drawer. However, you can never have too many garter belts! To break the monotony of day-to-day stocking use, why not add some more sensual pieces to your collection?

You could try a more delicate garter belt like the Miss0 GB308. This piece shows off an exquisite scallop pattern that arrests the eyes and captures the imagination. Perfect for getting into a romantic mood.

For a more robust yet playful belt, we also love Miss Naughty Leather Look 6 Strap Suspender Belt. This fun little number offers extra support to stockings, and could have you feeling more in command. It’s definitely a chic and feisty look we recommend!

Leg Warmers

We know leg warmers may seem a little too 80s, but hear us out. Done right, this accessory can add a cute and coquettish accent to a casual leggings and cardigan getup. This coming fall season; why not add some style to your comfort zone fashion with some premium-looking leg warmers?

We recommend checking out the Cazzola Gaetano 25698Fall Fashion Leg Warmers. The little flower detail is absolutely charming, and would definitely add something unique to your casual fall look.

Statement Thigh Bands

If you’re looking to give your stockings and garter belts a break, why not try thigh highs with more unique top bands? One piece that caught our attention was the Girardi Liasons Over Knees with Leather Top Bands.

Paired with heels, these thigh highs with string-drawn top bands will give you a sexy high boot look. They’re definitely fun to show off.
