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.

Summer 2020 Tights Looks For Every Closet

Summer 2020 Tights Looks For Every Closet

The unofficial start of summer is finally here, and with it we have summer wardrobes, short hemlines, and bright, sunny days. While choosing your bathing suit and your sundresses, you should also be looking for the hosiery you’re going to wear all throughout the summer season. While hosiery is a well-known staple for the fall, winter, and spring months, they’re just as important during the summer months as well!

Hosiery does a lot more than bring warmth—they also bring elegance and style to any outfit. During the summer months, you can remain cool and comfortable by choosing sheer hosiery, which is breathable even on the hottest of summer days. The summer 2020 tights looks you’ll need to grace your closet with this year are the following:

  • Classic sheer – Every woman’s wardrobe should have at least 1 pair of gorgeous, sheer hose in a classic nude shade. A pair of 8 den hose will polish your ensemble in an instant, and it will be the hosiery piece you’ll reach for in order to look your best at every single summertime event. You can wear them at a wedding, in the office, and for a fun night out.
  • Fishnets – Fishnets came surging back into popularity during 2019, and they’re showing absolutely no signs of slowing. For summer, large open fishnets can give any outfit an edgy look while never adding any sort of discomfort or unwanted warmth.
  • Thigh highs – One of the biggest complaints many have regarding summer hosiery is the fear of heat. It’s hot during those dog days of summer, and the last thing you want is to feel constricted or overly warm. Thigh highs ensure complete breathability during the summer months as they only cover the leg up to the thigh. The Eluxa Toeless Thigh High Stockings by Fiore is a 20 den stocking with a toeless structure that’s perfect for open-toed summer footwear.

Hosieree.com is here whenever you feel the need to restock your summer hosiery wardrobe. From toeless thigh highs to those fishnets you’ve always wanted to wear, we have just what you’re looking for. To find your next perfect pair of summer hosiery, check out what we have in store today!

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.

5 Reasons To Wear Summer Hosiery

5 Reasons To Wear Summer Hosiery

While hosiery is a popular fall, winter, and spring staple, it doesn’t lose its importance in the summer. However, a lot of women will skip hosiery once the warm weather comes around, believing that it will be uncomfortable to use in hot temperatures. However, with the right amount of denier, a pair of sheer hose will enhance the beauty of your legs and keep them cool at the same time. There are also other benefits hosiery can bring to your wardrobe regardless of the season. Read on to discover 5 reasons to wear summer hosiery.

  • Feel confident in any hemline – Summertime allows for the shortest hemlines of the year, so you can have your legs on full display. This can make some feel a bit uncomfortable if they’re not confident in the way their legs look, but that is where hosiery comes to the rescue. Hosiery can provide an “airbrush” effect, camouflaging bruises, scrapes, spider veins, and other imperfections you want to hide.
  • Give your razor a break – During the summer months, shaving every day or every other day can be harsh on your skin, but what other option do you have? After all, it’s too hot to wear long skirts or pants. The answer is hosiery. It will leave your legs looking perfect every time, so you can wear shorts and give your skin a break from frequent shaving.
  • Cool down – If you need to attend an outdoor wedding or other similar events, you can keep cool with hosiery. Place a spare pair of sheer hose in the freezer while you’re getting ready to go out, and pack it in a small insulated bag you can keep in your handbag or the car. When you start feeling too warm, take the cooled pair of hose and switch them out with the ones you’re currently wearing.
  • Even out your skin – Getting an accidental tan in a pair of crop pants isn’t a big deal—until you put on a short sundress. Summer hosiery can help you even out the look of your legs, taking away those unwanted tan lines.
  • Keep your feet protected – The summer season is sweating season, and going without hosiery can leave your shoes doing all the work. Sweaty feet can lead to shoe breakdown and odor, blisters, and damage to the skin of your feet. Summer hosiery helps wick moisture away, protects your pedicure, and leaves your shoes fresher.

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.

How to Wear Tights With Different Shoe Styles

How to Wear Tights With Different Shoe Styles

How many types of shoes do you have in your wardrobe? Between heels and boots, you probably have at least five different shoe types. You might be surprised that you can actually wear all of them with your favorite tights, if you only know how to mix them together in a chic yet seamless manner.

Read on to know how you can make the most of both your shoes and tights!

1. Tights With Heels

If you have some plain high heels, you can pair them dark tights with a wee bit of shimmer, like our Diamond Shimmering Fashion Tights. If your heels are textured, such as suede, you can opt for a flat or semi-opaque pair, like our Cortina 40- Semi-Opaque Tights in Bright Colors.

2. Tights With Mary Janes

Mary Jane shoes are not only cute. They also provide extra security. They are also great for any occasion and setting, whether for formal events or a normal day at the office.

If you’re wearing your Mary Janes, make sure you choose a pair of tights that’s within the same color palette as your shoes. For instance, if you have a glossy black pair of Mary Jane shoes, you can wear a pair of gray tights with it, such as our Arctic 500 Microfiber Tights in Grey. You can also go for a black sheer one, such as these Intrigante Tulle Thigh Highs.

3. Tights With Open-Toes

If you think that you couldn’t wear tights and open-toe shoes together, think again. One of the best ways to wear open-toe shoes with tights is to choose a pair of thick, opaque tights that’s a shade lighter than your shoes. This way, your toes will still show, albeit covered.

For example, if you’re wearing black open-toe heels, pair it with a dark-smoke thick tights, such as our Bellissima K2 300 Den 3D Microfiber Tights.

4. Tights With Boots

Whether you’re wearing your tights with ankle, knee-high, or thigh-high boots, the key is to ensure contrast in terms of texture. If you’re wearing glossy boots, then you should opt for matte, opaque tights. It’s best to go for plain tights, so that your ensemble won’t be too much to the eyes. Our Cortina 100- 3D Opaque Tights are sure to do the job right.

By the way, it’s not only the shoes that you should look at when planning your outfit. You should also make sure that your top or dress goes well with your tights and shoes.

Fun and Chic Ways to Wear Tights This Coming Holidays

Fun and Chic Ways to Wear Tights This Coming Holidays

This coming holiday season, you will probably go to a number of gatherings and parties. You don’t have to stress yourself out thinking about what to wear each time you’re going out. With the right bottoms, mixing and matching will be a breeze!

Many think that leggings and tights are too casual to wear to events, but there’s actually a lot of ways you can make it fun and chic. Here are five classy and easy ways to wear leggings and tights this coming holiday.

1. Go Metallic

Match a winter legging, like our 3D Winter Leggings with a sparkly, metallic tunic. It’s best if you’d go monochromatic, with the sparkly and metallic fibers of your top serving as the highlight of your outfit. You can finish your look with an equally captivating dangling or chandelier earrings, and knee-high suede boots from the same color palette. A velvet bag will also go well with this look.

2. The Classic White Shirt

A pair of leggings such as our Bellissima Leggings Push Up With Modeling Effect will go well with a crisp white shirt, preferably one that rests at the hip. Then, spice up your look with some holiday-themed accessories. Think red and gold drop earrings and a shiny red handbag.

3. From Dress to Top

Do you have a festive-colored dress that’s too short to be worn on a winter day? Get it out of the closet and wear it with a glossy pair of tights like our Black Brilliant Tights. Essentially, you’re turning the dress into a tunic and you won’t have to wait for summer to wear it. Grab some suede booties to mix up the textures of your outfit.

4. Cozy Up in a Sweater

Just because it’s cold out and you can’t go out without a sweater doesn’t mean you can’t be chic and fab. For instance, you can pair our Artica 120 Tights in Wool and Cotton with your favorite turtleneck sweater. If you’re still feeling cold, a pair of knee-high boots can add extra warmth. Make sure you accessorize with statement earrings.

5. Make It Pop

Another great way to embody the season’s festivities is to wear a bold and bright pair of leggings or tights and match it with a neutral-colored top. Check out our Margit Fashion Tights that come in three color options or the Uppsala Wet Looking Tights that come in seven festive colors.

Hosieree.com is your source for fun and chic tights and leggings that you can wear no matter the season. Check out our fine selections!

Choosing Your Size In Hosiery

Choosing Your Size In Hosiery

Like bras and jeans, hosiery is another wardrobe staple that too many women wear in the wrong size. For those who may wonder just why their hosiery never seems to last, the most likely root cause is that you’re wearing the wrong size for your body shape. There is no body that cannot wear hosiery, and all it takes is figuring out what size is best for you. Wearing correctly sized hosiery ensures a longer life, better comfort, and a sexier look no matter what type of hosiery you may be wearing.

Like other types of clothing, sizes may vary when you go from brand to brand. Different manufacturers of hosiery will use different materials and methods, so you should always check the specific size chart for the pair you’re interested in before choosing your size. Even the highest quality European hosiery, like that we sell at Hosieree.com, will have some variations when you go from brand to brand or material to material. While you may be a size small/medium in one hosiery type, you could be a size medium/large in another, or a size x-small/small in another still.

If your hosiery fits you well, it should be comfortable, and it should not limit your movement. If you find that you’re afraid your hosiery may rip while you’re getting into or out of the car, chances are you’re wearing the wrong size. Hosiery like this that is too small is more susceptible to holes, runs, and tears as you place excess stress on the delicate fabrics. If you find that you’re constantly pulling up your hosiery, or you get regular bunches at the ankles, these are signs that your hosiery may be ill-fitting on the other end of the spectrum, and you require a smaller size than the size you’re wearing.

At Hosieree.com, from our tights, to our fishnets, we have complete size charts for every type of hosiery we sell. We want you to get the most out of your hose, and we know that this can only be accomplished when you know which size you should be wearing. To find your best fitting hose yet, check us out at Hosieree.com today!

Do You Know The Difference Between Stockings And Tights?

Do You Know The Difference Between Stockings And Tights?

If there’s one question, or two, that is constant in the world of women’s legwear fashion, it’s this: What’s the difference between stockings and tights? And which ones should you choose? At Hosieree.com, we believe it’s a matter of personal preference as they both have many positive qualities. If you aren’t sure what your personal preference is, consider the differences to determine which is right for you.

Stockings

Stockings start at the foot and cover the leg up to the mid-thigh, or sometimes just above the knee. They are work with a suspender belt to keep them from falling down. (Note – Do not confuse thigh highs with stockings. Thigh highs have a silicone strip along the top of each leg to hold them in place.)  Most stockings are sheer, but there are some opaque varieties available. Some of the benefits of wearing stockings include:

  • They make you feel empowered. (There’s something about being the only one who knows that you’re wearing a sexy back-seam stocking under your suit.)  
  • They fit all body shapes and sizes.
  • With better air flow to your bottom, stockings can keep your cooler and more comfortable.
  • They come in so many fun and flirty styles, you can wear them for any occasion.

One disadvantage of stockings is that they cannot be worn with too-high skirts or shorts.

Tights

Tights cover your legs from the toe to the waist. They’re traditionally thicker than stockings, but they now come in a wide variety of deniers and opacities. Some of the benefits of tights include:

  • They can be a lifesaver if you live in a cold climate.
  • You don’t need suspenders to wear them.
  • They can be worn under shorts and very short hemlines.
  • You can find them in beautiful patterns and designs.

One disadvantage of tights is that they can be too restricting and warm due to the full coverage.

Whether you prefer stockings or tights, we have a beautiful variety of colors and styles. They’re all made from the highest quality European fabrics available, which make them feel as good as they look. Browse through our selection for the hottest styles and trends to make your legs happy. You might just end up choosing both.
