5 Tights Colors You Need In 2024

5 Tights Colors You Need In 2024

Tights are a huge trend for 2024, and the part we love the most is that they’re brighter and bolder than ever. On Fashion Week runways, we saw all colors of the rainbow represented in tights, and we want to whittle down the list to the top 5 must-haves to revamp your hosiery wardrobe for this year: 

  1. Red – Red is slated to be one of the hottest colors for 2024 and tights are no exception. It’s bold, it’s unforgettable, and it’s the perfect way to balance a bright look or put some pop into your neutrals. Our Amour HIP GLOSS 20-Den Tights are spring ready, and they come in the perfect shade for zeroing in on the red trend. We love the idea of pairing these tights with a black and white look for a classic pop that simply cannot be ignored. 
  2. Indigo – It’s blue, it’s purple, and it’s everywhere in edgy hosiery fashion. This uniquely “in your face” shade we’re often seeing being paired with shorts or ripped jeans, but we love the idea of pairing indigo hose with a skirt as well – especially for spring. The Amour HIP Gloss 20-Den Tights also come in a Very Peri shade perfect for embracing the electric indigo trend. 
  3. Yellow – Yellow tights are like wrapping your legs in sunshine, and we can’t get enough for the warmer-weather season to come. With black and white, greys, and even pastels, a yellow tight brings that perfect zest and electricity to any look. The Giulia Blues 70 Opaque Tights are a higher denier option for the brightest Yellow Moon shade. 
  4. Pink – If you thought pink wasn’t coming back after it was the “it” color of summer 2023, you thought wrong! Pink is slated to be one of the hottest shades of spring and summer 2024, and we have just the tights for it. A pop of pink tights spices up a neutral look, it brings something fun and unexpected underneath a pair of distressed jeans, and they have the power to bring a certain flirty feminine appeal to even the edgiest of looks. Our Amour HIP LACE 30-Den Tights in Pink Ribbon or Magenta are exactly what you’re looking for. 
  5. Navy – The electric pop of color isn’t for everyone, and that’s not your only option when it comes to colored tights. Navy is another color we’re loving for 2024, and we’re seeing it as a way to replace the classic black tight. This doesn’t mean that black tights are out, they’re a staple for a reason, but navy provides a different way to embrace a darker tight without going black. Our Cette Seamless Matt 50 Opaque Tights are the classic navy that go with any sophisticated look you have in mind. 

The trends are out, and we have just what you need to update your hosiery wardrobe for 2024 at Hosieree.com. Check us out and see what we have to spice up your drawer today!

Making The Transition From Winter To Spring

While winter is still in full swing, spring will be here before we know it. It’s not an overnight process, and that means getting your transitional outfits ready for when we start experiencing those warmer temperatures, longer days, and sunnier afternoons. 

Hosiery is one piece that transitions seamlessly from fall, to winter, to spring, and to summer. Regardless of season, there’s a pair of hose for that. For this transitional period into spring, however, you might approach your hosiery wardrobe a little differently than you would in the heart of either season. Just like going from summer to fall, or fall to winter, your deniers might look a little different, you might start bringing in a little more color, and texture might come into play as hemlines get shorter and overall looks more playful. 

In the winter, you’re likely to opt for your highest deniers. Afterall, they’re what keep you warm, cozy, and comfortable during those coldest days. For those cold days you might grab your Pierre Mantoux Wool Cashmere 90 Tights, while those days with peeks of spring call for more of a Gabriella Tights MICROFIBRE 40 Den sort of look. 

Along with changing up your denier, you might want to break out a little more color this time of year. You don’t have to break into a full spring color palette overnight, and hosiery is the perfect place to start when it comes to making that gradual switch into spring color. The Girardi CORTINA 40 Semi Opaque Tights in Bright Colors feature the perfect hues for spring in weather friendly 40 denier. Simply grab a light colored sweater, your favorite skirt, and tights in a complementing color and you’re ready for your spring transition with little effort. 

At Hosieree.com we’re here with all the hosiery you need to break out of winter and into spring. To find your next favorite pair, see what we have in stock today.

5 Unique Color Combinations To Give Your Look Pop

5 Unique Color Combinations To Give Your Look Pop

Blue and brown, pink and gray, black and white – there are some color combinations that are classics for a reason. While sticking with the classics means you never go wrong, there’s nothing wrong with getting a bit more adventurous with your color either. With spring on the horizon, there’s no better time to play around with a few color pairings that are a bit less conventional. 5 unique color combinations we’re loving are: 

  1. Lavender and lemon – Pastels are always the rage as the spring season starts, and one combination we can’t get enough of is lavender and lemon. While pinks and yellows, and purples and pinks, are seasonal classics, this is a spin that really gives your spring looks that perfect seasonal pop. Lemon is bright, warm, and sunny, while pale lavender has a certain dreamy coolness that brings the whole look into balance. 
  2. Purple and red – It doesn’t get more regal than mixing these two royal colors together. With a bright purple, accents of a deep ruby red stand out in a way that’s bold, confident, and strong. For jewel tone lovers, this ruby and amethyst pairing may be a new one worth trying for any season. 
  3. Blue and pink – There was no bigger color than pink in 2023, and the pink trend is rolling right into 2024 as well. Cheerful cornflower and sky-toned blues meshing with bubblegum or sandstone pinks give an ethereal quality to your look that doesn’t skimp on surprise. 
  4. Orange and green – If you want to go bold, it doesn’t get much bolder than pairing bright oranges with bright greens. One color combination we’re loving for 2024 is a fruit-inspired bright orange paired with shades of lime, turning your look into a summer day personified. 
  5. Neon yellow and blue – Bright shades are all the rage for 2024, but we understand if you don’t want to go quite as loud as the orange and green trend. Neon yellow paired with a deep navy or a denim blue is an excellent way to do something a little different without fear of becoming “too much”. 

At Hosieree.com we have every color of hosiery you’ll need to make your color combinations pop all year long. Our Amour HIP GLOSS – 20 Den Tights come in several on-trend unique colors perfect for mixing with your blues, your oranges, your purples, or any color you love.  If you’re looking for that next trendy look, see what we have in stock today.

Wool Hosiery Might Be The Staple You’re Missing

Wool Hosiery Might Be The Staple You’re Missing

When you’re crafting your winter hosiery wardrobe, what do you look for first? For most, it’s denier, and that makes sense. Afterall, the higher the denier, the higher the opacity, and the higher the warmth you’re going to get from your hose. However, not even all opaque hosiery pieces are created equal. While fine European hose with high denier is always a fantastic winter option, you’re going to an entirely different level when you opt for wool. 

A common misconception about wool hosiery is that it must be itchy or uncomfortable, which couldn’t be further from the truth. The wool hosiery of today isn’t quite like the wool hosiery your great-grandparents may have worn. What we get to enjoy today is hosiery that’s soft, smooth, warm, comfortable, and comes with a whole lot of benefits you’ll notice immediately. Some of the benefits of wool hosiery include: 

  • It’s durable – Wool is one of the most durable hosiery material options. It’s a resilient natural fiber meant to protect sheep while braving the elements, and in hosiery it can create pieces that last for years and years with very little noticeable wear. 
  • Breathable – The second biggest misconception about wool hosiery is that it’s just too hot, too stuffy, or too “much” outside of deep winter weather. While wool hosiery is cozy and warm, it’s also highly breathable. Wool has a natural ability to wick moisture away from the skin and allows for ample airflow to keep you comfortable from the fall all the way to the spring. 
  • Odor resistant – Wool hosiery is also naturally odor resistant, largely thanks to its moisture wicking properties. Because sweat isn’t allowed to stay against the skin, the bacteria that causes odor is unable to thrive in such a dry environment. The result is hosiery that always keeps you feeling fresh. 
  • Anti-static – The dry winter months can be a static nightmare for many. If you’re wearing a skirt to an event, the last thing you want is the delicate fabric sticking to the surface of your hose. Wool is naturally more anti-static than other fabrics, so you’re far less likely to find yourself fighting the cling. 

Merino wool hosiery, like our Franco Bombana Lana Merino Wool Tights, is a must-have for the entire duration of the cozy season. If you’re looking for your next wool pair, or you want to introduce wool into your hosiery drawer, see what else we have in store here at Hosieree.com.

Leggings vs Tights: Decoding the Fashion Differences

Leggings and tights are both popular legwear choices, but they serve different purposes and have their own distinct style nuances. Understanding the differences in materials, styles, and when to wear each can help you make more confident fashion choices.

Leggings

Let’s start with the style nuances you should keep in mind with leggings.

  • Versatility: Leggings are extremely versatile and can be worn as casual or activewear. They come in various styles, including classic, cropped, and high-waisted, making them suitable for different occasions.
  • Thickness: Leggings are typically thicker than tights. They provide more coverage and are often made from materials like cotton, spandex, nylon, or a blend of these for a more comfortable fit.
  • Use in Activewear: Leggings are commonly worn during yoga or other athletic type activities because they give you more of a sporty, athleisure look. They also offer more freedom of movement and are designed for comfort during these activities.

Materials

  • Breathable Fabrics: Leggings are often made from breathable materials like cotton or moisture-wicking synthetics, making them suitable to wear during a workout.
  • Opaque: Leggings are also usually opaque and offer more coverage, making them suitable to wear as pants in various settings.

When to Choose Leggings

Leggings are perfect for casual everyday outfits when they are paired with long tops, sweaters, or tunics. You can also wear leggings for exercise and athleisure, like during a workout or yoga session. Finally, leggings are great in colder weather because they typically have thicker fabrics.

Tights

Style Nuances

  • Sheerness: Tights are generally sheer and designed to add a layer to your legs without actually providing full coverage. They are available in different opacities, from semi-sheer to opaque.
  • Formal Wear: Tights are often chosen for more formal or dressy occasions. They can add a polished and refined look to skirts, dresses, or shorts.
  • Variety of Styles: Tights come in different styles, including footless, footed, patterned, and textured.

Materials

  • Sheer Fabrics: Tights are commonly made from sheer materials like nylon and spandex, providing you with a smooth and more polished appearance.
  • Lightweight: Tights are usually lighter in weight compared to leggings and offer a more delicate feel.

When to Choose Tights

Tights are an excellent choice for formal events, especially when paired with skirts or dresses. Tights are also suitable for milder weather when a lighter layer is needed. Finally, choose tights with patterns or textures to make a fashion statement and add even more interest to your outfit.

Overall, leggings are the more versatile option and suitable for casual and athletic wear, while tights are sheerer and often chosen for more formal occasions. No matter which you choose, you can browse our great selection of both at hosieree.com.

Strut Your Style: A Guide to Wearing and Styling Your Stockings

Strut Your Style: A Guide to Wearing and Styling Your Stockings

There really is something timeless and almost enchanting about slipping into a pair of brand-new stockings. Whether you’re dressing up for a formal event or wanting to add a touch of sophistication to your everyday look, stockings have the power to elevate your style and boost your confidence.

Here are some of our best tips on wearing and styling stockings to help you strut your stuff with flair.

1. Choose the Right Color and Denier

Stockings come in different colors and deniers, so you really need to choose the right one for your outfit. Sheer stockings in nude or black are versatile and can complement any ensemble. If you want to make an even bolder statement, experiment with other colors and patterns to add a more playful touch to your look.

2. Size Does Matter

If your stockings don’t fit right, they can be pretty uncomfortable and can ultimately affect the overall appearance of your outfit. Always make sure you are choosing the correct size. You can refer to the sizing chart provided by the brand. Stockings that fit well enhance comfort and are much more flattering.

3. Don’t Forget the Occasion

When selecting stockings for your outfit, be sure to keep the occasion in mind. Sheer or nude stockings are great for more professional settings, while lacy or patterned stockings can add a touch of glamour for a fun night out. Always match the style of stocking to the formality of the event, and you will strike the best balance.

4. Wear the Right Shoes

The shoes you choose for your outfit can easily make or break the look. Classic pumps, ankle boots, and strappy sandals are great for stockings. Just pay close attention to the style and color as you coordinate your look to achieve a more polished appearance.

5. Play Around With Textures

Never be afraid to play around with different textures. Fishnet, lace, and patterned stockings add a good amount of intrigue to your ensemble. Mix and match these different textures to create a look that best suits your personality and style.

6. Embrace the Power of Garters

For some old-world glamour, consider wearing your stockings with a garter. Garters add a more sensual element to your outfit and also help keep your stockings in place throughout the day or night.

Whether you are about to step into the office or you are heading out on date night, let your stockings be the perfect finishing touch to your outfit. Visit hosieree.com today to start perusing our selection of stockings.
