3 Spring and Summer Leg Trends for 2019

3 Spring and Summer Leg Trends for 2019

Looking for the latest trends to dress your legs for spring and summer? Then you have come to the right place. With new seasons come new opportunities to show off that beautiful hosiery you have been adding to your wardrobe. We are here today to fill you in on the latest spring and summer leg trends for 2019, so you can start pulling out those new clothes for this season and accessorize appropriately.

Floral Prints

Floral prints are here to stay. Spring is always a great time of the year to rock floral prints and patterns, and this year is no exception. You can go for a more subtle floral look with lace hosiery. This kind of hosiery also pairs well with a variety of different textures. The most popular lace color in floral for this year is white.

Crochet tights are also just as popular; however, they are much thicker than lace so you may want to avoid this material on those much warmer days.

Colored Tight Trends for 2019

Color coordinated looks are also trending this season and matching each piece is becoming the fashionable thing to do. Some of the more popular color choices this year include all shades of nudes including pale pinks and peaches, white, colorful shades like yellow, emerald green, ruby red, fuchsia, and orange, and the bold colors in the neon spectrum.

Knee Highs are Making a Comeback

We are also seeing a reoccurrence of knee highs this season as well. They were spotted on the Marc Jacobs catwalk recently and are now being paired with cycling shorts, pleated skirts, and short dresses.

Other styles that may be creeping in for the spring and summer season include the wet look hold ups, denim, and latex that have been inspired by the looks from the 80s. As usual, we also see fishnets, graphic prints, and fun patterns like diamonds and stripes.

Dare to Be Creative

Now is as good a time as any to get bold and be creative with your wardrobe. Don’t be afraid to show your wild side with the bright neon colors collection or show your tame side with the pale pink tights paired with a cute pair of shorts and sandals. No matter what you choose, the biggest piece of advice we have to offer is to make sure you are comfortable and confident wearing whatever you choose to express yourself.

3 Reasons to Avoid Going Bare This Summer

3 Reasons to Avoid Going Bare This Summer

Now that summer is here, you may be wondering if it is time to ditch your tights and leggings and prepare for the warmer weather. While this may seem like something to do, not everyone feels as if it can be done. Going bare legged for some is just not an option.

Maybe they don’t have perfect legs or the professionally done pedicure as the next person does, or maybe they have their own more personal reasons for not going bare legged.

We are here today to give you 3 reasons you can and should avoid going bare legged this summer.

Makeup for Your Legs

If you want to cover any imperfections on your legs, then it is certainly okay to look at sheer tights as a kind of makeup for your legs. Sheer tights are thin, they can keep you cool, and can give you a slight tan. They can successfully hide any hair, spots, or scars. Another big plus? If you didn’t have time to shave your legs that morning, no problem.

Haven’t had time to tan your legs since the end of winter? Also, not a problem. Ultra-sheer hosiery will soon become a staple in your summer wardrobe. They can even be worn with open toe sandals.

Prevent Leg Chafing

Chafing is something many of us have to worry about during those warmer summer months; however, wearing hosiery is one of the best things you can do to avoid this painful occurrence. If you don’t like the feeling of sticking to your car seats or chairs during the hot and sticky summer months either, then hosiery can help prevent this as well.

Tights are Still on Trend

Another big reason to not cover your legs this summer is because tights are still on trend! Sheer tights are becoming increasingly popular as more and more people are getting more creative with designs, patterns, colors, and styles. You don’t have to settle for the plain and ordinary hosiery anymore.

Instead, you should be reaching for the bright and colorful hosiery, the polka dots, and even diamond patterns. Then, of course, you have the classic lace and fishnets as well.

So, before you feel that you have to go bare legged all summer, check out hosieree.com today for the latest in brands and styles and rock that summer tights look.

5 Ways To Wear Your Leggings

5 Ways To Wear Your Leggings

Leggings are an all-year-long, every occasion, and everyday option for women all across the United States. At Hosieree.com, we have a full selection of leggings to fill your wardrobe with plenty of options, and we love all of the different looks a great pair of leggings can achieve. However, many feel a little intimidated by the thought of legging-centric outfits, and we want to give you 5 ideas for wearing your leggings during every season:

  • Dressing them up – A pair of sleek black leggings with a flowy blouse and the right accessories is the perfect outfit for going out in comfort and style. For a brunch outing with the girls, you may pair the look with a chunky bangle, a belt on the blouse accentuating the waistline, a floppy hat, and a pair of chic oversized sunglasses with seasonal wedges that are simply to die for. This dress-up method works for all seasons, and all you need to do is switch out your top and accessories.
  • Fall cozy – For the fall season, leggings really come to life. One of the most classic leggings looks for fall is to pair dark leggings with a chunky long cardigan, a button down shirt underneath, a scarf, and cozy sheepskin boots.
  • Springtime fresh – Leggings with a long button-down shirt in a spring print or fabric is a fantastic way to take your favorite pairs into spring with absolute ease. Leggings also look particularly breezy with flats and sandals, which further your seasonal springtime look. Try pairing your leggings with a chambray shirt to really stay on-trend.
  • Night out chic – Not all leggings are the standard fabric and finish, and faux leather leggings create the perfect look for a night out. Faux leather finish leggings like our Eco-Friendly Leather Pants with a Crinkled Leg Design – 996  make any night-out look just a little sexier and they pair perfectly with sky-high pumps or stilettos.
  • Business casual – For a business casual lunch, your leggings pair beautifully with a blazer and oxford style shoe for a look that is equal parts appropriate and on-trend. When going for the business-casual look, layering is key and longer blazers are a staple.

Our selection of leggings at Hosieree.com covers everything from the night out pair to the warm and cozy go-to. To find your next favorite pair of leggings, check out our stock at Hosieree.com today.

How To Style Your Leg Warmers

How To Style Your Leg Warmers

Leg warmers served up some real looks during the 80’s, and for this reason a lot of women feel a little self-conscious about breaking them out today. Despite being seen on celebrities like Anna Paquin and Anne Hathaway in recent seasons, and on the runways at New York Fashion Week from the likes of top designers like Betsey Johnson and Chanel, leg warmers remain something of a mystery when it comes to bringing them into the 21st century. At Hosieree.com, we love the layered looks that leg warmers can provide, and we want to show you just how versatile and trendy these hosiery pieces can be.

One of the most common ways you’re like to see leg warmers in everyday fashion is paired with boots, and you may not even realize you’re seeing leg warmers when you see this look. A pair of leg warmers like our Cazzola Gaetano 25698 Fall Fashion Leg Warmer peeking out the top of a boot creates a perfect layered look that really brings out the coziness of a pair of boots. Typically, this look takes on the look of socks, but the chunky sock is truly a leg warmer bringing texture to the table.

Leg warmers also really make a statement when paired with other types of hosiery, like a pair of patterned tights. Layering texture and pattern has been a massive trend for a few years now, and leg warmers give you an incredibly simple way to do it. A pair of leg warmers over our Amy Fashion Micro Tulle Pantyhose and paired with a pair of chunky heeled boots combines the 90’s trend, the pattern mixing trend, and the texture trend all at once.

Lastly, leg warmers are also a natural pairing with flats. For spring, pairing leg warmers with flats and a shorter skirt can bring you right into the season while keeping you comfortable on those cooler spring days. Your chosen flat can be a standard flat, or a flat sneaker, and leg warmers with lace or embellishments will really further your seasonal look.

If you’re looking for leg warmers, or the perfect hosiery pieces to pair your leg warmers with, see what we have in store at Hosieree.com today.

Getting To Know Different Deniers Used In Black Hosiery

Getting To Know Different Deniers Used In Black Hosiery

The denier you choose directly correlates with how thick or how warm your hosiery is going to be, and nowhere is denier more important style-wise than with black hosiery. During the winter months, higher denier tights and hose are some of the most popular, as the hosiery’s thicker structure is a better protectant against the cold. During the summer, sheer hose with lower deniers are preferable as they’re a bit cooler compared to a thicker woven and higher denier hosiery option.

With black hosiery, the denier you choose will not just give you a completely different feel, but a completely different look as well. In this blog, we at Hosieree.com want to get into just how different deniers in black hosiery look and when you may want to opt for each different one:

  • 10 Denier – 10 denier black hosiery is quite sheer, as you can see in our Catwalk10 Denier Ultra Sheer Tights in Nero. This ultra-sheer approach gives off a sexy “less is more” effect, and works beautifully with longer hemlines. If you’re wearing a midi skirt or a long floral dress with a slit in the hem, consider this type of sheer black hosiery to really ramp up the sex appeal of your look without ever being too much.
  • 20 Denier – Our Brilliance 20 Denier Sheer Tights in Nero may not look too different from the 10 denier at first glance, but they do provide their own benefits. 10 denier tights are quite sheer and may be more delicate than the 20 denier, so those looking for a more durable option may be served better going with the latter.
  • 40 Denier – 40 denier is where you really begin to see the difference with black tights, and this is the perfect pair you’ll choose to go with mini skirts and bright pops of color. Our Cortina 40 Semi-Opaque Tights in Nero are a perfect example of the mix of sheerness and opacity you’ll find in a 40 den pair of black tights. With 40 den, you’re getting just a small touch of sheerness, enough to get a glimpse of the leg, but they’re opaque enough to tone down short hemlines and make colors pop without being completely full coverage.
  • 80 Denier – 80 denier tights will be completely opaque, and they’ll provide the most warmth. 80 den black tights like our Edelweiss 80 Opaque Tights are just what you’re going to look for to keep you warm and comfortable during the winter months. For taking your tailored shorts or short skirts into fall, 80 denier black tights are the perfect option.

Whether you’re looking for something sexy and sheer, or something warm and cozy, we have all of the black tights you need at Hosieree.com. To fill your hosiery wardrobe with a full selection of black tights, check us out at Hosieree.com today!

Tips And Tricks For Better Hosiery Storage

Tips And Tricks For Better Hosiery Storage

With a great hosiery collection comes the need for equally great storage. In order to best keep your fine European made hosiery looking its best, storage is a big part of the equation. Whether you’re looking to store your durable and thick Arctic 500 Microfiber Tights or your more delicate Amy Fashion Micro Tulle Pantyhose, these storage methods will work for both. Some tips and tricks you can use to improve your hosiery storage are:

  • The rolling method – If you keep your hosiery in a designated drawer, the rolling method is one of the best methods for keeping your collection neat and tidy. First, fold your hosiery in half length-wise, and then beginning at the toe begin rolling until you reach the end of the waistband. After they’re rolled, they can be placed inside of a drawer organizer, or they can be simply lined up in rows from front to back. Not only will this keep your hosiery organized and protected, but you’ll be able to spot what you need in seconds.
  • Use sandwich baggies – Sandwich baggies aren’t just for lunch anymore! For particularly delicate pairs of hosiery, or hosiery you really want to protect, this method is perfect for keeping them safe, accessible, and run-free. Simply fold your hosiery to fit into a zip plastic bag, insert hosiery, and place in your drawer or designated hosiery spot. Not only do your hose stay organized, but they’re also incredibly well protected from runs, pulls, moisture, or other damages.
  • Use hangers – Your average plastic or velvet hanger can be the perfect hosiery storage apparatus if you’re lacking space elsewhere but your closet. Hosiery may be draped over the base of a hanger in sets of 3 or 4, and simply placed on a closet rod for easy organization. The best way to fit a few pairs of hosiery on one hanger is to fold in half length-wise and drape over so the hanger bisects the folded hosiery.
  • Lining your drawers – The interior of the average dresser drawer is made of wood, and in some instances the wood can harm your delicate hosiery. Before using a drawer to store your hosiery, lining the bottom and sides of the drawer with a satin scarf or pillowcase can make all the difference in protecting your collection.

Proper storage practices do quite a bit to prolong the life of your high-end hosiery. To find the hosiery pieces you’ve been looking for to make up your collection check out what we have at Hosieree.com today.

What You Need To Know About Thigh Highs

What You Need To Know About Thigh Highs

When many think of thigh highs, they actually may have them confused with stockings. Stockings require a suspender belt to be held properly in place, while thigh highs are able to be held up on their own. Both hosiery choices are popular choices for date nights, but there’s a lot more to know about thigh highs than this simple distinction.

Thigh High Benefits

For some, wearing thigh highs once is a game-changer. After wearing thigh highs, they may decide that this is their hosiery style of choice, reaching less and less for their full sets of pantyhose or tights. Not only do thigh highs feel sexy, they’re also quite comfortable, and allow for certain breeziness and movement that other hosiery options do not.

Thigh highs are comprised of two pieces, one for each leg, with nothing connecting the legs in the middle or covering any area of the hips, bum, waist, or stomach. For some women, this provides a certain feeling of freedom, allowing their legs to be covered without the extra layering on any other part of their body. For those who do like some shaping or control, control wear panties and shapewear can be worn with thigh highs to keep the freedom while incorporating these additional benefits.

Thigh Highs In Fashion History

Thigh high hosiery is not a new trend or a passing fad, and this style of hosiery has been consistently in style for generations. What this means is that you can expect your investment pair of thigh highs to last not just in their durability, but in their elegant fashion appeal. Just about any style of fashion, retro or modern, can be enhanced by pairing with a stylish and classic pair of thigh high hosiery.

At Hosieree.com, we have the thigh high hosiery to complete your wardrobe and perhaps even show you a new favorite. Our 305 Miss O Thigh Highs with Lace Top are classically sexy, the Cristine 3D Microfiber Stay Up Stockings with Floral Lace are warm and perfect for winter, and our Hudson Glamour Thigh High Stockings are ideal for everyday wear; no matter what you’re looking for, we have the perfect pair for you.

4 Ways To Have Fun With Your Tights This Season

Tights have a great deal of practical use, but your appreciation for them doesn’t need to stop there. Having fun with tights is really making the most of your hosiery wardrobe, and maximizing your style potential with every outfit you put together. At Hoseriee.com, we have everyday tights and quite a few fun picks as well, and our top 4 ways to have fun with your tights include:

  • Do the 90’s color block – Color blocking has been a huge deal in fashion for several years now, and the big trend for 2019 is all things 90’s coming back again. Why not pair the two trends together with the perfect pair of tights? The classic plaid schoolgirl skirt is having a moment once again, and it’s the perfect opportunity to pair with a colored tight to color block the bottom half of your look. A springtime plaid skirt with yellow can be paired with our Cortina 40 Semi-Opaque Tights in Bright Colors in Soleil for a perfect 90’s retro meets modern color blocking look.
  • Give yourself a quirky pop – Your hosiery is the perfect place to add in a quirky pop to your look, even if you’re geared up to go to the office. A patterned pair like our Assenzio Pantyhose with Floral Design is subtle enough to be office appropriate, but still bold enough to bring your personality into your look.
  • Layer with socks – Tights and socks may seem like they’re not fit for one another, but this chunky layered look is a sure way to add in a unique sort of refinement. One wearable example of this look would be to pair a skirt with fishnet hosiery, then layer chunky socks before choosing a bootie style footwear.
  • Don’t fear white – White tights don’t lose their chic appeal after one hits a certain age. If you’re planning to wear a bright colored shoe, pairing with white tights is the perfect way to make them pop.

There is no wrong season, and no wrong way, to have fun with your tights. To find your next favorite pair of tights you can use to transform and have fun with your wardrobe, check out our inventory at Hosieree.com today!

Chic Ways To Wear Colored Hosiery

Chic Ways To Wear Colored Hosiery

Colored hosiery can be a real challenge for some, but one worth taking on. On runways, top fashion designers are using colored hosiery to spice up looks of all kinds, but many women find it tough to take those looks and translate them from the runways to everyday walkways. There are a number of chic and failsafe ways to wear colored hosiery, and we at Hosieree.com want to show you just a few you can try out during any season.

If your outfit is rather monochromatic or heavily based on neutrals, you’re giving yourself the perfect backdrop to show off your colored hosiery. Dove greys, whites, browns, tans, or any neutral you may choose can be paired with colored hose for just that pop of color you’ve been looking for. For spring, a dove grey outfit paired with our Cortina 40 Semi-Opaque Tights in Bright Colors in Lilla will really give your outfit a fun and simple seasonal pop.  

If pastels and bright jewel tones are something you’re interested in for your colored hosiery collection, there’s a really simple way to go about these looks without ever sacrificing a “grown up” look. Brightly colored hosiery like our aforementioned Cortina 40 Semi-Opaque Tights in Bright Colors in a shade like Tropical can intimidate some with the worry of looking too immature in such a bold hosiery choice. However, one can pair this hosiery with minimal oversized silhouettes to achieve a look that’s really eye-catching. Additionally, such a retro-friendly orange shade is ideal for pairing with 60’s inspired mod looks with absolute ease.

Lastly, cropped denim is an absolute springtime staple. When it comes to hosiery, that few inches of ankle popping from the hem of your jeans should be viewed as a canvas, not as wasted space. A bold knee-high or sock in a bright shade uses this space to bring a new style layer to your entire ensemble. Our Attraction Rete Fishnet Knee Highs in Rosso are the perfect pairing for a cropped denim look, and guide the eye right into a bold or sleek shoe choice.

Colored hosiery is a great way to have a little fun with your outfit, and that fun can have a distinctly refined and high-fashion look. To find the perfect hosiery to have a little fun with your wardrobe, check out what we have at Hosieree.com today.
