Fishnet Outfit Ideas You Should Try

Fishnet Outfit Ideas You Should Try

With the ever-changing trends in fashion, fishnets are no longer just for parties and Halloween costumes. They can also be worn with casual outfits that you can go out in on a normal day. Fishnets look bold and daring so you might think it is challenging to find the perfect outfit that matches with them. That is why we listed down different fishnet outfit ideas that you can try anytime.

  • Fishnets And Ripped Jeans – You must have seen a lot of fashion influencers wearing fishnet pantyhose inside their ripped jeans. Do not worry because you can definitely rock it too! Choose a pair of ripped jeans with the biggest tears so you can flaunt your fishnets inside. This simple and cool twist to the ragged look is very creative and refreshing. 
  • Fishnet And Oversized Sweater – If you are going for an effortless look, wearing oversized sweaters over fishnet leggings is the way to go. It also feels as comfortable as how the overall outfit looks: homey, comfy, and relaxing. This fashionable pair is also flexible because fishnet leggings can be paired with any color that you want. 
  • Fishnet And Denim Shorts – Wearing denim shorts over fishnets have the same feel as the fishnet-ripped jeans pair. However, you would want to choose fishnets with bigger holes to pair with your denim shorts. Because there is a lot more skin to show, large fishnet patterns will not completely defeat the purpose of wearing shorts and will give your legs its well-deserved exposure and appreciation. 
  • Fishnet With Dresses – Throwing in a pair of fishnet tights with your dresses can make your outfit 10 times more glam and eye-catching. Dresses are usually standalone outfits that you try to complement with accessories to complete the whole look. Wearing fishnet tights underneath will change the game. 

Pairing your dress with fishnets can complete the whole look even without trying to accessorize too much.  It also gives you an extra air of femininity, sophistication, and sexiness. The fishnets give you a glow up from fun and chic to glamorous. 

There are different outfit combinations that work perfectly with fishnets. Hosieree.com has a wide variety of fishnet designs that you can try and experiment with.

Must-Know Tips for Buying Tights for the First Time

Must-Know Tips for Buying Tights for the First Time

Congratulations! If you are reading this, then you have decided to take the plunge and enter the fashion world with a brand new pair of tights. Some of us started our journey wearing tights when we were kids, but if this is your first time, you probably have questions and need a little guidance on finding the best tights for your personality and body type.

Where Should You Buy Tights?

Everyone has a different experience when it comes to purchasing tights. Many choose a cheap pair of tights from a box store or supermarket because they feel they are affordable.

However, this can cause you to waste your money on something that is poor quality, not the right size, and only looks “alright” or a while before they head to the trash.

Choosing to buy your tights online gives you all the information you need regarding the brand and style you are about to purchase. You can usually find some great advice in blogs as well to help you make a more informed buying decision about which tights are going to be the most suitable for you.

Sizing

When choosing a size, remember that there is no single size when it comes to tights. Different brands are also sized differently. The best advice we can give you is to look at the sizing chart for the tights you are interested in and use that to help you find the right size. The size chart helps you choose tights that are appropriate for your height and weight.

Toe Options

You will also come across different toe options that can go with different types of shoes. If you are wearing your tights with sandals or peep-toe shoes, then open toe tights or invisible toe tights are ideal.

Support

Support tights or shaping tights are both different things. Support tights offer more leg compression, while shaping tights offer tummy control. Shaping tights also have built-in shapewear with control top slimming.

Denier

Finally, the denier is another consideration. The higher the denier, the more opaque the tights will be. Sheer tights, for example, have a much lower denier. You can find this information in the details section online when shopping for tights.

The Vintage Appeal of Stockings

The Vintage Appeal of Stockings

A classic pair of stockings is a must-have for any wardrobe. It is an accessory from the past that revolutionized how you built your outfit and continues to be the piece in your closet that can transform your ensemble today. So, why have stockings stood up to the test of time?

Here is what we think about the vintage appeal of stockings and how they continue to offer timeless appeal and style, even today.

What Are Vintage Stockings?

Vintage stockings are the ones that have been around for a while. Opaque stockings, for example, are just one variety that has been a staple in one’s wardrobe, and they are a great piece of fashion history we should all own.

Characteristics of Vintage Stockings

Just because a specific pattern or style has been around for what feels like a lifetime doesn’t necessarily make them classic or timeless. For something to be truly classic, vintage, or retro, it should have been popular before the second half of the 20th century. This means neons and crazy colors are out because they aren’t the timeless style we are showcasing today.

Back Seams

Back seam stockings are a popular feature you can find with many vintage stocking styles. Not only does the back seam offer incredible appeal, but it also gives you that classic and retro feel you are looking for.

Polka Dots

Polka dots are a more subdued and humble design and are still a bold choice for those looking for some excitement but don’t want to rock the back seam look. Polka dots throw some classic style into the mix while also being charming and feminine. They never go out of fashion.

A Little History

Did you know that before the 1940s, it was rare for a woman to leave the house without wearing a pair of silk stockings? It wasn’t appropriate to be barelegged in public during this time unless, of course, they were at the beach. Stockings used to be called hose, and most of them only came up to the mid-thigh and had to be held up with garters.

Before the ’30s, stockings weren’t stretchy either because the fabric wasn’t yet elasticized. So, to achieve the leg’s classic silhouette, they were woven in that way through a process known as Fully Fashioned or tubular knitters. The sizes back then were also determined by foot size.

Today’s stockings provide us with much more variety in patterns, colors, and materials than back then. So, be sure to visit hosieree.com today to explore these options and find something amazing to add to your wardrobe.

How to Jazz Up Your New Year’s Outfit

How to Jazz Up Your New Year's Outfit

The New Year is fast approaching as we continue to make our way through the holidays. With so much going on, have you even found the time yet to plan a special outfit to celebrate the New Year? 

Whether you are staying home or playing it safe with some friends, there are several ways you can jazz up any outfit to make it worthy of a celebratory night.

Go Bold

If you are looking for a bold look, then don’t be afraid to embrace the appeal of sequins and glitter. We are seeing this look all over the place, so why not embrace it? You can choose to go for a full sequin look or add a few small accents here and there to make your ensemble pop. 

Glittery tights are a great way to embrace the look without having to go full glitter and glam. 

Glittery tights are also good if you find yourself going from work to a night out. You can transform your work look into an evening look easily with just the legwear you choose.

Go Metallic

If glitter isn’t your thing, but you still want to make an impression, then try out some metallic legwear. It offers the same vibe but is more subdued. Metallic colors, gold damask patterns, and polka dots are also trending this year, and all go well with gold and silver accents. 

Shiny leggings can add some urbanism into your New Year ensemble as well. It is a good bit away from regular, plain legwear, and they go great with any top you choose. 

Plain Leggings

You can even choose to go with a comfortable pair of solid colored microfiber leggings and pair them with a crisp white shirt and some holiday accessories. Add a few red accents, whether it is in your handbag or earrings, and you have yourself a festive outfit for the holidays. 

Have a new evergreen top you are itching to wear this holiday season? Why not dress it up with a pair of bold and dramatic leather leggings. You can mingle at a cocktail party, attend a work function, or have a good time at home in this outfit.

If you still need ideas or you are on the hunt for the perfect legwear for this holiday season, be sure to visit hosieree.com and browse our amazing selection.

Stay Warm And Cozy This Season With These Winter Must-Haves

Winter is almost here, and that means sweaters, coats, and hats. Unfortunately, a lot of popular wardrobe pieces such as summer dresses and shorts do not provide any warmth. That is why many of us feel that we have to choose comfort over style during the colder months.

However, before you put away your summer clothes, check out the warm weather options at Hosieree.com. Many of our pieces can be paired with your summer favorites to create an appropriate winter look. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Layer With Winter Leggings

Winter leggings like the 3D Winter Leggings and the Fleece–Lined Leather Leggings are specifically designed to keep you warm. They are made with thicker materials that wick moisture and provide insulation. These staples are great for any winter wardrobe because they can be worn alone like any of your favorite leggings but are slim enough to be worn under a pair of pants.

Change Out Your Tights

Tights are always a winter must-have. However, not all of them are comfortable to wear during winter. In fact, even some dark opaque tights are lightweight and do not provide much warmth. However, there are tights meant to withstand even the coldest winter weather. The Arctic 500 Microfiber Tights and the Belissima Everest 100 Winter Tights are wind- and cold-resistant. They can be worn under your favorite dress, skirt, or pair of shorts, or they can go under a pair of slacks for added protection against low temperatures.

Wear Your Summer Tights

Before you put away your favorite tights for the summer, consider wearing them instead with a pair of cozy leg warmers. Leg warmers like the Cazzola Gaetano 25698 Fall Fashion Leg Warmer and the Koto Leg Warmer add much-needed warmth. They look fantastic layered over boots or even jeans. They can transform any of your favorite tights into winter tights, and they will help you stay stylish all season long.

These are only a few of the options we offer at Hosieree.com to help keep you warm in the winter. The best part is that all of them are flexible and can help enhance your existing wardrobe. So before packing up your spring and summer clothes for the season, check out our selection and find pieces that will make those comfortable no matter the weather outside.

10 Tips To Make Your Tights Last Longer

10 Tips To Make Your Tights Last Longer

Are you tired of buying new tights over and over again? Indeed, caring for tights is challenging because they are so fragile. However, it is possible to make them last longer if you know how to care for them properly (and that does not involve storing them in the freezer!).

Here are some tips to help you: 

    1.     Purchase tights that are larger than your original size. However, they should only be big enough that wearing them will not be stressful for you. If you have to keep pulling them up because they are too loose, there is a high chance that you will break the fibers. 

    2.     It is better to purchase opaque tights because they are more durable than sheer tights. The higher the denier content is, the stronger the fiber is.

    3.     Itis best to purchase tights with reinforced toes. 

    4.     You haveto invest in tights, which means you should spend more for quality and durability as much as possible.

    5.     Your nails and skin must be smooth before you put on your tights. 

    6.     Apply some lotion on your legs prior to wearing tights. However, make sure it has completely dried before you slip into a pair of hosiery. 

    7.     Sit down, get one leg of the tights, slide your toes in, and pull the leg over your heel and up your own leg. Do the same for the other leg.

    8.     When it comes to washing tights, make sure to turn them inside out. Place them in a mesh bag meant for delicates, but make sure no bras are included in the bag because the hooks could snag the tights. 

    9.     Wash tights on a delicate cycle with cool water. Keep in mind not to use softener. 

    10.   Never dry your tights in a dryer. Instead, line dry them. 

Those are just some of the things you can do to make your tights last longer. Doing so is important because tights are incredibly comfortable to wear and highly versatile, so you do not want to go without them. You can wear almost anything over them, which makes them a staple in a woman’s wardrobe. 

With these tips, you do not have to go through multiple tights every few months. It is essential for you to invest in quality tights from well-known brands, even if it means you have to pay a bit more. Trust us when we say that it is worth it. 

If you are looking for high-quality tights, you know where to go. Here at Hosieree.com, we have European tights that will last and make you look and feel good every day. Feel free to browse our products to find the one that is right for you.

The 5 Dos When Shopping For Lingerie

The 5 Dos When Shopping For Lingerie

Choosing lingerie can be daunting, especially if it’s your first time. It’s a whole new world of undergarments, which can be a bit terrifying. Don’t worry, though. Lingerie will make you feel sexy and more comfortable in your own skin as long as you know how to choose the right one. Here are some dos to keep in mind: 

1. Get The Right Fit

To do this, you need to get your measurements done by an expert. When you walk into a lingerie store, have your measurements taken there. Nothing is worse than poor-fitting lingerie, especially if you will wear it for some intimacy in the bedroom with your beau. 

2. Invest Slowly

If you’re new to the world of lingerie, take it easy. You don’t have to buy everything you see at the store. Instead, gradually invest in the pieces you like until you build a wardrobe. It’s best to start with a beautiful set. On the other hand, if you are already a long-time lingerie lover, then go for options that have a wow factor. Keep in mind that you don’t need to break the bank for this! All you need to do is to be on the lookout for great styles and sales. 

3. Always Go For High-Quality Fabrics

There are so many fabrics to choose from when it comes to lingerie. Make sure you opt for high-quality materials that will last for a long time. Poor-quality fabrics are pretty obvious, and you don’t want to look tacky when you take off your clothes and reveal what’s underneath, right? Go for high-quality fabrics because they can make a lot of difference.

4. Hand-Wash It

As much as it’s tempting to throw your lingerie into the washing machine, don’t. Your lingerie is delicate, which means it should be hand-washed instead. The good thing about hand-washing is that it’s not as tedious as it seems. Get a basin, fill it with lukewarm water, and add delicate lingerie wash before swishing your pieces around in the water, rinsing them, and squeezing out the excess water. Dry them out by laying them flat on a surface. 

5. Explore Your Options

There are so many styles of lingerie to choose from. In fact, here at Hosieree.com, we encourage women to explore various styles. We know that some of you have a specific one in mind that you’ve stuck with for quite some time. Why don’t you play around a bit and start experimenting with other styles? You never know how it’s going to look on you and how it can make you feel. This is an especially good idea if you’re looking for ways to spice things up in the bedroom. 

Those are the five dos you need to keep in mind when buying lingerie. If you haven’t tried shopping for it yet, it’s about time that you do. A piece of lingerie will make you feel sexier, more confident, and even more beautiful. Additionally, they can help heat things up in the bedroom with your partner.

The Dos and Don’ts Of Putting Your Tights On

So you’ve bought a new pair of tights and you’re excited to put them on. Allow us to stop you there for a minute.

Even if you have the best European-made hosiery like the ones we offer at Hosieree.com, you still need to be more careful in handling them, especially if you’ve gone for tights with a lower denier like the Angel 15 Seamless Tights. The lower the denier, the more delicate the fabric will be.

If you want your tights to last longer, you need to take care of them properly. Here are the dos and don’ts to remember when you’re putting on your tights:

Dos:

  • Make sure your tights are the right size. Before even putting them on, make sure that the size you purchased will fit you properly. Hosieree.com has size charts for every pair of hose so you can pick the one that’s right for you.
  • Prevent snags on fingernails. Make sure your fingers are trimmed. You can even go further by using hand lotion to ensure that your fingers will not snag your legwear. The last thing you want to do is to accidentally rip your tights.
  • Treat your feet right. Good hosiery care starts with good foot care. Since your feet will come in contact with the material, make sure your toenails are not long or sharp by trimming them. Just like with your fingers, use a good-quality body lotion to make your feet soft. This will help avoid premature laddering.
  • Handle your tights with love. We know you’re excited about the newest addition to your wardrobe, but please take great care of your tights when you’re pulling them out of the packet. Be extra careful so those new tights of yours will last longer.

Don’ts:

  • Stop tugging. When removing the product from its package, remember to do so gently. Gather your tights from the top to the toe carefully. Don’t pull on the fabric too hard as the material might break and you might end up with runs and tears on your tights before even having the chance to wear them.
  • Do not ever rush. Whatever you do, do not rush putting on any kind of hosiery. We know you’re busy and you probably have a lot of things to attend to, but it’s important to take some time in putting on your tights. Smooth the fabric up to your leg as you go. Here’s a guide on how to do this the right way:
    • Pull the first leg up to the knee and then the second leg.
    • After doing so, work on each leg alternatively until you get to your panty.
    • Pull your tights up gently over your buttocks and stomach.
    • Leave enough room in the toe area.

We all know that hosiery doesn’t last forever, but we can try to preserve it to get the most out of them. You can only do this by taking good care of them. Care for your tights and other hosiery items as if you’re caring for your skin. You’ll be glad you did.
