Choosing The Right Denier For The Season

While looking for hosiery, you might notice a number and the word “den” or “denier” next to that number. You also may notice how some hosiery is sheer, some very opaque, and some sitting right in the middle. Denier refers to the weight of the fabric used in your hosiery, and typically the higher the denier the opaquer your hosiery will be. Often, winter hosiery will be the opaquest with a very high denier, while summer hose will be much lighter and more on the side of sheer. You’ll want to pay close attention to your denier, as this will let you know quite a bit about the way the hosiery looks and how comfortable it may be wearing with certain outfits or during certain times of the year. 

Lightest Denier 

Deniers ranging from around 5 all the way up to 30 are considered the lightest. They’re often the most sheer and they will feel most delicate on the skin. In some cases of very low deniers, the hosiery might even feel like a second skin resting gently on the surface of the legs. If you’re trying to go for a bare leg look, you’re wearing particularly delicate fabrics, or you’re going to a summer event, a good rule of thumb to follow is to go for the lightest denier you can find in your desired style. 

A light denier is highly breathable, so you’re far less likely to find yourself uncomfortable in the summer heat, and light hose will never “overtake” the look of a more delicate fabric. 

Medium Denier 

Medium or mid denier refers to deniers of around 30 to 40. Often, you’ll see this hosiery referred to as semi-sheer or semi-opaque, and you’re getting a good middle ground in terms of look and breathability. In those autumn months or during the early spring, you may find that you’re most comfortable in a pair of medium denier hose. You get some coverage and some color on the leg, but mid denier still allows for plenty of breathability. 

Heavier Denier 

Heavier deniers are those of 50 den or higher, and these are the thickest and heaviest hose. Typically completely opaque, these will be the hose you reach for in those cold winter months or later in autumn. Heavy denier tights are often worn well with boots and booties, but may be worn with heels or any sort of footwear you feel best goes with your look. Often, a heavier denier pair of hosiery will be somewhat more durable than the most delicate light denier hose. 

At Hosieree.com, we have what you need whether you’re looking for light, mid, or heavy denier hosiery. Take a look at our inventory today to get your full yearly hosiery wardrobe started!

Why Are Seamless Tights Good For You?

Why Are Seamless Tights Good For You?

Seamless wearables are becoming the trend now and of course, here at Hosieree.com, we also have seamless tights for you to try on. Wearing seamless tights actually comes with benefits and we are going to share them with you.

  • Say Goodbye To Chafing – With the absence of seams and stitches, you can enjoy being chafe-free for the whole day while wearing your seamless tights. Chaffing is often a common problem by ladies who wear ordinary tights as the seams and stitches tend to rub on the skin and irritate it, thus resulting in chafing. 
  • More Accurate Fit – Seamless tights are designed to fit your body perfectly. Without the stitches, you can expect the fabric to flow against your legs smoothly. There are no folds and bumps that usually come with seams and ordinary stitching.
  • Breathable And Comfortable – If you are regularly working out or if you love to use leggings when doing errands, you would be grateful to have a pair of seamless tights as they are designed to be more breathable. Seamless tights have the ability to control moisture and are often made with mesh, which makes the clothing breathable. 
  • Fewer Chances Of Tearing – Tearing almost always starts with seams and stitches. Luckily, seamless tights are void of any seams and stitches that are prone to tears. In addition, the fabric is also lightweight and made to feel like a second skin, which means that it is designed to follow your movements with ease and without the risk of tearing. 
  • No Awkward Bumps And Marks – When wearing regular tights, ladies tend to partner it with oversized tees and hoodies to cover the entire hip area where the outline of the seams and stitches are most visible. The stitch marks that run along the side of our legs down to our ankles are also not pleasing to look at. With seamless tights, as mentioned above, you can expect a smooth and flawless finish.

It is important to also think about comfort when choosing what to wear. Seamless tights not only are trendy and fashionable but they are also made with the wearer’s comfort in mind. Pay us a visit at hosieree.com and we can help you choose the best pair for you.

Tips For Wearing Black Tights And Leggings

Tips For Wearing Black Tights And Leggings

We know that black can be paired with any color but we can always do better than just random tops and shoes to go with it. A simple ensemble with black tights and leggings can still be effortlessly fashionable and we are here to show you how! 

Take note of these 4 tips to be extra glamorous with your black legwear:

  • Wear Closed Shoes – Black is naturally an elegant color and pairing it with closed shoes, which are usually worn in formal settings, amplifies the sophisticated effect. Black tights and leggings that are worn with closed shoes, whether they’re flats or heels, can pass off as semi-formal wear that you can wear for dinners, parties, and even casual get-togethers. 
  • Black-On-Black – Wearing an all-black ensemble is such a powerful move and despite the monotone style, you are bound to turn heads and attract attention. Put your hair up in a simple updo, choose a plain black top like a fitted shirt or a turtle neck, and throw in a pair of black heels or boots to complete your head-turner outfit. It’s like you jumped out straight from a fashion magazine!
  • Dress Boldly– Speaking of colors, you should also take note of the other colors that match black the best. White, gold, red, and silver especially stand out and shine when worn with black clothing. In this case, you can wear shoes, shirts, coats, and even accessories that are white, gold, silver, or red and they will all automatically be highlighted in your outfit.
  • Black Tights With Other Bottoms – Ripped jeans are usually paired with fishnet stockings and thigh highs. What many may not know is that they also look good when worn with black leggings or tights underneath! Not only is this an easy fashion choice but it is also really practical especially when the cold weather is approaching. What a fashionable way to keep ourselves warm!

Black tights are a staple and if you haven’t got a pair yet, https://www.hosieree.com/ has got you covered.

5 Benefits You Can Get From Wearing Socks

5 Benefits You Can Get From Wearing Socks

There are a lot of things that we love about socks on top of them being fashionable. While their pretty colors and cute patterns are a plus, wearing socks also have a lot of benefits when it comes to protecting our feet and keeping them healthy. If you haven’t heard of them yet, here are five benefits that you can get from wearing socks.

1.   Socks Can Manage Moisture – One of the reasons why it feels unpleasant to wear shoes without socks is the moisture build-up. Closed shoes can make our feet sweat especially when we move around a lot. The sweat and moisture can make our toes feel sticky. In addition to that, the moisture build-up can also lead to bad odor, which is both a challenge to get rid of and a bad sign for unhealthy feet.

2.   Socks Protect Our Feet – We feel comfortable whenever we wear socks because socks are protecting our feet from rubbing against the rough materials of our shoes, cold floors, and other hazards that can harm our skin. Wearing shoes without socks can lead to the formation of blisters and calluses because of the constant rubbing or friction.

3.   Socks Reduce The Stress On Our Feet – Whether we are wearing high heels or not, our feet still suffer from the impact as we walk around. You will notice that calluses form usually on our heels and soles. That is because these are the parts of our feet that receive the most stress when we move. Wearing socks cushions our feet and reduces the stress from movement.

4.   Socks Help With Blood Circulation – Specialty socks like the Elly LUI LEI Microfibre socks provide compression, which helps to improve blood flow. For people who have circulation problems or those who are sitting or standing for long periods, compression socks will help your feet relax and reduce the risks of having a blood clot. In addition, helping improve the blood flow can make your feet feel less tired and prevent them from swelling.

5.   Socks Keep Our Feet Warm – Aside from being uncomfortable, having cold feet, can mess with our normal body temperature. Our feet are one of the parts of our body that quickly loses warmth, especially when we fall asleep. Keeping our socks on can assist with regulating our body temperature. Of course, keeping our feet comfortably warm during the cold weather is a welcome bonus!

Wearing socks comes with a lot of health benefits, and that is why we make sure that our socks collection at Hosieree.com not only are fashionable but also are high-quality.

Knowing The Best Time To Buy New Stockings

Knowing The Best Time To Buy New Stockings

We all have a pair of stockings we absolutely love and have grown attached to. Still, there will come a day when it’s time for our favorite pair to go. The question is how would we know when is the best time to replace our old, worn-out stockings? Here are the things you should look out for:

1.       How Old Are Your Stockings? – Time flies by fast and before we know it, a year has already passed. Stockings usually have a lifespan of six months to a year, gradually bearing tears and holes along the way. Of course, that also depends on how you care for them! If you think your stockings are already almost or over a year, it is time to do a thorough checkup and see how they are going.

2.       Has The Material Thinned? – Most often than not, we fail to notice that the fabric of our stockings has already grown thinner after numerous washes and uses. Thinned fabric makes your stockings more prone to tears and holes. Stretch too much and you might find yourself down a pair. If the material of your stockings has considerably thinned, it is about time to invest in new ones before your old pair finally decides to retire.

3.       Are Your Stockings Slipping Down? – How many times have you pulled and adjusted your stockings today? Another sign of worn-down stockings is that it has already been stretched too much and can no longer hug your legs securely. You can even say that your stockings have grown a little bigger after being stretched over and over throughout the year.

4.       Are They Still Comfortable To Wear? – Old stockings may have loose threads that can make your legs feel itchy. They can also lose the warmth and protective layer they initially had as the material grows thinner. Stockings slipping down from time to time can also be a bother as you need to constantly adjust them up. Thinking and dealing with all of these things can lead to discomfort. Consider buying a new batch of stockings when you do not feel as comfortable as you did when you first tried on the pair.

Stockings do have an average lifespan but it is still up to your tender loving care when it comes to making sure that they last long enough. One tip we can give you is to invest in high-quality stockings, like those in hosieree.com’s collection.

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!
