How To Prevent Runs In Your Stockings

How To Prevent Runs In Your Stockings

There is nothing worse than stepping out in a great outfit only to discover that you have a run in your hosiery. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to ensure that you prevent getting runs in your tights. Here are our biggest tips to keep your tights looking great.

Invest In A Quality Pair

Pantyhose like anything else, comes in varying quality. The inexpensive pairs that you pick up at the drugstore are not made with quality in mind. Therefore they are going to rip and tear more easily than a higher quality European style pair. It’s not just brand quality that matters, you also want to look for pantyhose with design features that strengthen the hosiery. A great feature are reinforced toes and heels. These have an added layer of fabric that can prevent runs right at the most common sources. You also want to look for hosiery that have run–resistant technology. This is especially important if you are very active. Finally, make sure that you select the right size, if your hosiery is too tight, the thread tension will create a higher risk of runs.

Take Care When Putting On Your Tights

Oftentimes runs happen while putting on your pantyhose. Before putting on pantyhose, it’s always a good idea to moisturize your legs. It’s a lot easier to get hosiery on moisturized legs than dry legs. You also should let your lotion, oil, or body butter soak in, otherwise getting the hosiery on can be a little tricky. When putting a pair on, you want to always gently scrunch from the hip to the toe, then slowly work the stocking up the leg. Finally, take extra care when putting on shoes, clothing, and jewelry to make sure nothing catches on clasps, zippers, or textured fabrics.

Wash With Extra Care

Washing hosiery in the laundry cycle with the rest of your clothes can damage the fibers. It can also put them at risk of getting caught or pulled by the ornaments on your clothes like buttons or zippers. Instead, follow the care instructions on the packaging. If you don’t have the packaging still, we have a helpful guide on our blog you can read here.

All of these tips will help make sure that you’re never caught with a run again. If you do have a run though, we can help you fix them before they ruin the entire pair. At Hosieree.com we understand the importance of keeping your stockings free of runs. That is why we only stock the finest quality European tights. Available in every shape, color, and size you could ever need, our pantyhose will make sure your look is never ruined by a run again.

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.

Hop On The Pajama Trend And Wear Your PJs Outdoors

Pajamas are no longer meant only for the bedroom and sleeping. The latest fashion trend is wearing pajamas outdoors, and it’s not just for a quick run to the mailbox. If you’ve been dying to try out this trend, you’ve come to the right place because we have some tips that will help you show off your pajamas out of bed.

It’s All About The Style

There are a lot of styles of pajamas that you can get today. The trick here is to choose the right one. Go for stylish luxe—the silk ones are a popular choice.

Don’t wear anything that’s made from cotton because cotton fabrics will make you look like you just rolled out of bed. As mentioned, choose soft silks and shiny satin shirts instead. 

When it comes to choosing your pajama tip, look at the details. They must be distinct, such as an open neckline, long sleeves, and side piping. You should also play with proportions to add more style to your outfit. For example, you can opt for an oversized pajama top and pair it with skinny jeans. Finish it off with high heels, and you’re ready to hit the road. 

Accessorize It

Now, when it comes to wearing pajamas to work or an event, you have to treat it like a real outfit, so you need to accessorize it. A great way to do this is to wear jewelry. If your pajamas are made from soft fabrics, pair it with bold earrings or a boyfriend watch.

On the other hand, if you want to add a masculine touch to your outfit, you can use a statement bag or a leather clutch with it. It also won’t hurt to complement your outfit with a pair of shades for that will make you look even glamorous. 

Wear It At The Right Time

As much as we love the pajama trend these days, there are specific times when we love seeing pajamas on women or even men. It’s a great outfit to wear for brunch. 

You can also wear it to work by wearing a blazer over a pajama top along with simple trousers—you’ll be comfortable and glamorous in the boardroom. You can also wear it for a night out by choosing a silk pajama top and pairing it with jeans and killer heels.

How To Stop Your Hose From Slipping

How To Stop Your Hose From Slipping

Hosiery can easily give you a trendy, elegant, and fashionable look, but what’s not fashionable is being caught having to adjust your hosiery in the middle of an event because it’s loose. When you’re dancing, walking, or moving around quite a bit, your panty hose can shift, slip, or begin to fall down, causing you to have to nonchalantly do the “hosiery shuffle” as you pull your hosiery up by the thighs or the waist. Not only does it make for an awkward scenario, but constantly pulling up your hose can damage the fibers in the hosiery and cause the pair to break down faster.

There are a couple of reasons why your hosiery may slip. First and foremost, your hosiery will slip if it’s a bit too large for you. If you are in between hosiery sizes, it’s recommended to size up rather than down, but this could lead to slipping as you wear the hosiery throughout the day or night.

Second, your hosiery may slip if it has begun to lose shape. Low-quality hosiery or older hosiery may begin to lose its shape over time, causing slipping as you wear it for a number of hours. No matter the cause of the slippage, there is a simple solution using only what you already own and likely have on right now!

While it may sound silly, the best way to avoid hosiery slippage can be found in your underwear drawer. A simple pair of panties worn on the outside of your hosiery, rather than under it, can help keep the pair in place all throughout the day. The heavier fabric of the panty gives the top of the hosiery some structure and keeps it in place even as you move. The panty you choose can be any style, including thong panties if you wish to keep that seamless silhouette.

At Hosieree.com, we pride ourselves on providing only hosiery pieces of the highest quality as well as the panties you can use to keep your hosiery firmly in place. If you find that you’re between sizes and worry about your hosiery slipping throughout a day, you can have peace of mind with all of the products we offer. To find your perfect pair of hosiery, check us out at Hosieree.com today.
