At Hosieree.com, we’re all about taking your favorite wardrobe pieces and utilizing them in unique and fashion forward ways. With the right hosiery, your favorite shorts are no longer a summer staple; they’re a year-round staple you can enjoy well into the fall! When you pair your shorts with hosiery, not only are you cool-weather friendly, but you’re given a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to creating stand-out outfits.

The key component to remember when taking your shorts into fall is pairing them with the right hose. You can pair a cut off pair of distressed denim shorts with fishnet hose for a punk-rock look, and just as easily you can pair a tailored pair of shorts with solid opaque tights for something sleek and ready for the office. Once you have your hosiery pairings down, you can then start to branch out into pairing with accessories and additional layers for a new fashion-forward look every day. 4 ways to wear your shorts and hosiery into fall are:

• Set yourself up with a blazer – If you’re looking to take this look into the office, pairing with a blazer is a must. Take your favorite pair of tailored shorts, an opaque pair of tights, and a tucked in blouse and pair these elements with a sophisticated blazer. Never thought you could wear shorts to work? Think again!

• Use longer shorts for extra movement – If you want something a little more retro inspired, longer shorts that go down to about the knee with a little movement are perfect. Paired with a quirky blouse, opaque hosiery, and T-strap heels, you’ll be perfectly executing those vintage vibes.

• Get grunge cozy – Fall is all about those cozy looks, and the grunge look is bigger than ever this year. Take a distressed pair of shorts, pair with fishnet hose, and layer over top a chunky knit cardigan for a perfect cozy grunge look.

• Day to night – Shorts and hosiery is a perfect choice for day to night looks. The same tailored shorts, hosiery, and blazer look that was ideal for the office is taken to happy hour by switching out your top for one with a little sparkle and some sky-high booties.

With fall fully underway, there is no better time to try out some of these fashion-forward looks for yourself. If you’re looking for the perfect hose to take your shorts into fall, check out what we’ve got at Hosieree.com today!

Fishnet stockings have been worn by women for decades. They are stylish, edgy, and they make a statement. Women who wear fishnets do not go unnoticed, but how you wear them can determine the perception of those who notice you. There are, however, ways to wear fishnets that look elegant and tasteful. Try following these 4 tips for fishnet perfection.

1 – Choose your outfits wisely. Avoid becoming the classic image that people get in their minds with they hear the word “fishnet stockings.” You know, high cut mini-skirt, low cut tank top, and stiletto heels. Reserve that for Halloween fun and keep your outfit tasteful. Try pairing Olympia Fishnet Pantyhose with a pair of capris or a skirt that hits below the knee. 

2 – Choose a smaller fishnet pattern. Fishnets can be worn elegantly when they come in a tiny, subtle pattern. If you want to wear a shorter hem or an edgier outfit, the tiny design on Bellissima’s Microette Fishnet Tights adds a level of sophistication as opposed to shock.

3 – Avoid too much noise.  By this we mean, don’t wear bright and bold patterns with your fishnet stockings. Avoid items like large hoop earrings and hot red faux alligator bags. Let your fishnets be your stand-out accessory. This gives you room to get bold with a pair of fishnet tights with vertical stripes. 

4 – Close your toe. Can you wear stockings with an open toe? Sometimes. Can you wear fishnet stockings with an open toe? Never. Open toe shoes and fishnets are like nails on a chalkboard; jarring. Keep it classy and only wear closed toed shoes with your fishnets. 

You Have To Feel Good To Look Good

One final thing to keep in mind: If you don’t feel comfortable wearing fishnet stockings, don’t. Some people feel that they are too risqué, regardless of how they’re worn. In order to look good on the outside, you must feel good on the inside, so if fishnets don’t make you feel good, you won’t look good despite your best efforts.

But if you can’t wait to buy your first pair, or fifteenth pair, of fishnet stockings, you’re in luck. At Hosieree.com, we have a wide range of options available. Fishnets are a lasting trend that goes back to the basics of feminine legwear. Browse through our products and pick the best pair to take make your legs more glamorous than ever.
