4 Legging Styling Tips for Turning Heads

Do you refrain from wearing leggings because you aren’t sure how to style them properly? Or maybe you just don’t know the best way or time to wear them. We are here with some of the best legging styling tips you can try.

Shopping Tips

Let’s start with a few shopping tips. The leggings you wear out should be made of a thicker material. You want to avoid anything that may be see-through. You also want to make sure the leggings you choose are soft and comfortable to wear and offer adequate support. If not, you will be more uncomfortable and might decide to ditch the leggings for future outfits.

The best leggings are those that prove to be versatile and fit you correctly. If you follow these tips, you will find you have made a great investment. 

1. Shirts You Can Wear With Leggings

When wearing shirts with leggings, you want to stick to longer shirts. This makes for a much more presentable ensemble. Button-down shirts pair well with leggings and are a great choice when building a spring outfit. Long sweaters are a good choice in colder weather and a great opportunity to play around with different colors and patterns. 

If you need more of a dressed-up or business look, pair your long shirt with simple black leggings and add a belt around your waist. This accentuates your waist and provides a better fit for a larger sweater. Pair the outfit with a pair of burgundy pumps, and you are office ready!

Pairing a dress with your leggings during fall and winter is another great look. A sweater dress with black leggings and knee-high boots is fun and a good way to showcase your style. 

2. Creating a More Casual Outfit

Ready for more casual outfit ideas? Leggings are stretchy and soft and are often used as loungewear. If you need to head out to run an errand, don’t bother changing. Style your comfy patterned leggings with your favorite t-shirt. 

3. An Athleisure Look

Leggings are versatile and can take on whatever style you throw at them. If you want more of an athleisure look, try brightly colored leggings paired with a white tee. You can also style high-waisted leggings with a patterned sports bra during warmer times of the year for a fun and sporty look. 

4. Styling Leather Leggings

If you feel bold and adventurous, try a pair of leather leggings. A pair of sexy leather leggings paired with knee-high boots and a long sweater is a look guaranteed to turn a few heads.

Rocking Your Tights During the Holidays

Rocking Your Tights During the Holidays

The holidays are upon us, and our fair share of parties, events, and gatherings come with them. From Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve, you try to dress and look your best and want to make sure you have the perfect outfit for each occasion. Here is how to rock your tights as you eat, drink, and be merry this holiday season.

Casual and Formal Looks

For a casual and formal look, you can’t go wrong with thigh-high tights. This accessory is not only trendy but also complements both of these looks. Thigh-high tights add dimension while also keeping you warm during cooler weather. 

Opaque Tights

Many find opaque tights to be a showstopper, making them the perfect choice for a holiday outfit. Don’t be afraid to go bold with color and pair your tights with a tweed skirt and blazer for a more professional holiday look. 

Play With Color

Watch for festive hues like forest green, silver, and even gold when shopping for tights this holiday season. Sheer tights often come in these fun and festive colors and can make the perfect addition to your holiday ensemble. They stand out and can be paired with your favorite open-toed sandals or heels to finish your look.

Don’t Be Afraid to Sparkle

Never be afraid to show off some sparkle. Tights with crystal embellishments or sparkle can create a more memorable holiday outfit. They pair well with a mini dress or skirt.

Make a Statement With Lace

Want to keep the versatility of tights but still be able to make a statement? Lace can be used for a nighttime or daytime look and pairs well with various pieces, including shorts or a dress. 

Choosing the Right Colors and Patterns

If all you have are flesh-colored tights, you can easily take them from frumpy to gorgeous. Make sure the tights are the color of your skin tone. 

Semi-opaque tights are a bit glossy and can be very chic. Burgundy is another popular holiday color and can help you create a stunning monochromatic look. Patterned tights are a great way to update any outfit, while fishnets in nude and black can make a fashion statement.

5 Reasons Tights Are Essential for Any Wardrobe

1 Comment

Women’s tights didn’t always have the stellar reputation they have now. Many people even found the tight buying process grueling and seldom looked forward to it. This is because the tights were typically more of an afterthought rather than the staple of any wardrobe or the star of any outfit. 

Well, things have changed. Here are 5 reasons tights are now an essential part of any woman’s wardrobe.

1. Tights Provide Leg Protection

One of the biggest benefits to be had from tights is the fact that they protect your legs. They are a second skin for anyone wearing them, which is great for colder months during the year when you want extra warmth without the bulky layers. The tights shield from cold weather and rain. 

2. Tights Are Comfortable

High-quality tights that are well-fitting are also extremely comfortable to wear. They are not as restrictive as other legwear options and will not cut off circulation. A quality pair of tights will fit snugly and allow you to move freely without discomfort.

3. Tights Are Complementary

Tights are complementary to many other wardrobe pieces you own. They can add some flair to an otherwise basic outfit. Fishnets, for example, look great with a pair of distressed jeans, and opaque tights can be paired with a semi-formal dress. 

With so many style and color options available, you can find something to bring out the personality in each outfit. A good pair of boldly patterned tights would make a great addition to any wardrobe.

4. Tights Are Fun to Style

And that brings us to our next point: tights are fun to style! While a simple addition to the outfit, tights are fun to mix and match. You can pair bold patterns with different colors and see how much of a difference a pair of tights can make to your outfit overall.

5. Tights Can Be Dressed Up

Tights can be dressed up when needed as well. They are a versatile wardrobe staple that is wearable for various occasions; whether it is with a skirt, dress, or a pair of shorts, you can dress them up or down as needed. 

So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to hosieree.com and pick from our vast selection of high-quality tights and other legwear options for every occasion.

Fall Into the World of Fashion Socks This Season

We all have our favorite hosiery items in our wardrobe and use them almost daily. But have any of us actually stopped to consider how we can switch things up every once in a while? Maybe put away our pantyhose for the day and rock some fashion socks?

Fall into the world of fashion socks with us and see how you can style them to showcase your personality and unique style.

Fashion SocksThe New Fashion Statement?

Some you talk to might tell you that novelty socks are out. However, you also might have noticed that socks just aren’t what they used to be. 

Back in the day, socks were viewed as a garment only meant to cover the feet. You might have found some in black and white, and some might have even been ankle height. They were just an outfit afterthought. Not something that you would spend time considering when putting an outfit together. 

Well, times have changed. Socks are just as important now as the shoes you wear and the accessories you rock. They are the highlight of many outfits today and deserve our recognition. 

What Fashion Socks Should I Wear?

This is a great question! There are many different types and styles of fashion socks you can choose from today. You are no longer limited to cotton varieties. Now you can find something to fit every style and personality.

For more of a rocker look, we recommend Jucy fashion socks. They go great with a short-legged pair of jeans, or you can pair them with classic shoes for the office. 

Want something a bit more daring for a night out? Fiore Renita fashion socks are fashionable and patterned fishnets. They are soft and comfortable and will make a bold touch to any outfit. 

Craving the comfort of cotton? Pompea Mandy Fancy cotton socks come in a pack of three and are a comfortable option for everyday wear or lounging around the house. 

Finally, if you want something more elegant with beautiful detailing, we recommend Silca Calzino socks. They are 20 denier, extra sheer, and have floral accents on the elastic band. They provide you with the perfect combination of comfort and style. 

Looking for more fashion sock options for everyday wear or to dress up an outfit for a night out, or maybe you need to replace some older hosiery pieces in your wardrobe? Check out the selection we have at hosieree.com.

Why Your Legs Will Fall in Love With Denier

If you have fallen into the world of hosiery, then you have undoubtedly heard of denier. It is an important measurement when it comes to your legwear. Denier is the weight of the fabric in the tights, socks, and hosiery you purchase. It can also be said that the denier is the thickness of the tights. However, weight and thickness are not always the same.

Understanding Denier

Many equate denier with thickness because a higher denier typically means the fabric will be thicker. However, this isn’t always going to be the case. So, don’t always assume that it will be a dense fabric just because it is thick and a higher denier. 

What Is Opaque?

When we talk about opaque, we refer to higher denier hosiery. This hosiery uses thicker fabrics and are over 40 denier in many cases. This denier is perfect for winter and cooler weather, as it can keep your legs toasty and warm. 

Semi-opaque, on the other hand, is sheerer and usually around 30 denier. They are so light you can sometimes see some skin through this hosiery. These are often worn during mild weather, where you don’t have to bundle up to stay warm. 

Sheer and Ultra Sheer

Sheer pantyhose and tights have a much lower denier and are lighter fabrics. They fall between 5 and 40 denier. Sheer stockings and tights are perfect for warmer weather, like during the spring and summer seasons. This denier also has more color options compared to thicker denier because sheer hosiery stands up to color very well.

Ultra sheer is any hosiery with a denier of 10 or less. These hosiery items may be harder to find. Some describe ultra sheer tights as almost invisible but still do a good job covering the legs, in case there are small imperfections you want to hide, like a mole or birthmark.

Is a Higher Denier Fabric More Durable?

This isn’t necessarily true. You don’t have to have thick hosiery when looking for something durable. However, the differences in the denier are pretty obvious, and those with natural fibers may have more stretch than others, making them more durable. 

Even so, it is safe to say that if you choose a higher denier, then it makes sense you will have a bit more in the way of durability compared to a much lower denier like you would find in ultra sheer tights, which are more susceptible to snags and tears throughout the day.

No matter what hosiery you choose, you can rest assured that you are getting the best if you choose from a high-quality brand like those you will find on hosieree.com.

 Fall Fashion Is Incomplete Without Tights

Fall Fashion Is Incomplete Without Tights

It’s fall! It’s time to get cozy and embrace the sweater weather. With today’s diverse, edgy fashion, it’s interesting what new fashion trends will find into every man and woman’s fall closet. But fall is never complete without the classic tights. Tights are classic staple in every closet. It’s versatile—can make an outfit classic and sophisticated or fun and eccentric. Here are some fall tights trends for 2022:

Metallic

For this season, go-to look for it girls is metallic fashion. Who doesn’t love a shimmery, shiny piece of clothing? Metallic fashion is bold and attention-grabbing. Our Cecilia De Rafael Viena Fashion Lurex tights can be a great complement to metallic fashion pieces or can be the subtle metallic element to your everyday wardrobe.

Fishnets And Platforms

Platform shoes are everywhere, and they are often paired with cute socks or a nice pair of tights. Fishnet tights are a great way to add texture to any outfit—let them peek out between your boots and skirt, for example. 

Moto Style

The moto style made a surprising return as AW22 runways were filled with black leather pieces. Think leather jackets, leather dresses, and leather miniskirts. These leather elements will be nicely complemented with a pair of tights. 

Lingerie-Inspired

Sexy, textured lingerie details are another hot trend this fall. If you’re not up for corsets or lace during cooler weather, tights may be the solution to your fashion dilemma. For decades, tights have been a partner to lingerie, so you can definitely wear tights or lingerie-inspired tights. 

Bold Colors

Go against the gloomy weather of the fall with bright colors. This trend is all about vibrant, stand-out key pieces or entire ensembles that would catch the eye of anyone within a mile. Some like to wear just one stand-out piece like a bright-colored blazer or a bright pair of leggings or stockings, while others prefer to wear three to four different colors in one outfit. A pair of semi-opaque tights in bright colors will certainly have room for such a look.

Statement Dresses

This season is not for the faint-hearted. Another standout trend is statement dresses—metallic dresses, embellished dresses, sheer dresses, and so on. You can take it up a notch by adding floral tights or polka thigh highs to your outfit. These will not only boost the look but also protect you from the weather.

Tights never quite go out of style. They are a fashion staple for a reason—they go with arguably everything. For more ideas on how to wear your tights, visit us at hosieree.com.

How to Dress for Success from Head to Foot

How to Dress for Success from Head to Foot

What does it mean when someone tells us to dress for success? Are they talking about a specific outfit that can skyrocket your career, or are they telling us that we must wear certain brand names? Here is our answer to how to dress for success from head to toe. 

Don’t Forego Your Personal Style

Dressing for success doesn’t mean you have to sideline your personal style. When you look at outfits of professional women, you may find a common thread—they all look very similar with a few tweaks here and there. 

Instead of dressing like someone else, embrace your own style, find a new way to wear things, and be yourself—whether it’s fashion socks or opaque tights paired with your favorite skirt and blouse or more interesting prints you can find when choosing high-quality fashion tights. Go bold and be yourself. 

Make Sure You Are Comfortable

You also don’t have to be uncomfortable with what you are wearing either. If you are uncomfortable with what you have on, it certainly shows. It is hard to hide. You might start fidgeting, and the discomfort is plastered across your face. You will not be relaxed and instead will appear more rigid. 

When dressing for success from head to foot, ensure everything you wear is comfortable. You might want to wear heels to give yourself some height, but it isn’t worth the pain and blisters. 

Showcase Your Confidence

When dressing for success, make sure to highlight your confidence. Pair your attitude with the perfect ensemble and hosiery online. Wear what you feel your absolute best in. When you do this, you will also find that you feel your best, and it will show. 

There is no one specific way to dress for success. Wear clothes and shoes you are comfortable in and feel confident wearing while being professional. 

Other Tips When Dressing for Success

Make sure your outfit is clean, pressed, and well-fitted when dressing for work. When choosing your accessories, go ahead and show your personal style but make sure the pieces you choose complement your clothing rather than distract from it. 

Finally, pay close attention to detail because it may be the little things that put you over the top. The first step in dressing for success from head to toe is finding the right hosiery online to base your look on. Visit us at hosieree.com for the latest in hosiery trends and styles that are sure to impress.

Tips for Buying Hosiery Online

Tips for Buying Hosiery Online

Choosing what we wear on our legs is just as important as the rest of the ensemble we put together. And thanks to the many advances in the fashion industry, we have a wide selection of the best choices in hosiery. Here are a few expert tips for buying hosiery online.

Find a Dedicated Site

You want to start your journey by traveling to a site that is dedicated to legwear. They are the experts, after all. We have a vast selection of high-quality hosiery you will love. You can also take in our knowledge and expertise when it comes to finding the best hosiery for your body type. 

Look for Variety

You also want to purchase hosiery from an online site that offers the variety you need. You might be in the wrong place if you can’t find pantyhose and tights in the same online store as your thigh highs and stay up stockings. You also want to make sure there is some variety in the different styles, sizes, colors, and patterns you choose.

Check the Size Chart

Size charts are always helpful when estimating the size you may need for hosiery online. Our size charts give several measurements to pinpoint the right size. You may consider sizing up to avoid aggravating waistband rolling if you are in between sizes. 

Thicker Means Stronger

If the legwear you choose is thicker, it will be stronger and much more durable than most sheer options. However, remember that the thicker they are, the less leg you show. Always consider the thickness of the legwear you purchase online. 

Thicker legwear is also good for hiding any imperfections you may have. To understand the denier of your hosiery, you need to consider its opacity. 

Understand the Differences

It is also important to understand the difference between the different hosiery types, so you purchase exactly what you need. For example, stockings are a true classic. They cover your leg up to mid-thigh and are often reserved for special occasions.

On the other hand, tights tend to be sheer and more skin tight. They can easily dress up your legs while showing them off in the best way. 

There you have it. These are just a few tips you can keep in mind when browsing hosiery online. For a high-quality selection of everything you may need to dress up or upgrade your wardrobe, visit us at hosieree.com today.

Rules for Wearing Hosiery and How to Break Those Rules

Rules for Wearing Hosiery and How to Break Those Rules

Ready to break some rules? Here is what we know about wearing hosiery and what we also need to know about breaking the rules and finding our style.

Don’t Wear Tights With Trainers

This has been said so often over the years that it might be hard for you to think otherwise. However, if you take some time to skim through Instagram influencers, you will quickly see that this is no longer the case. 

Just like you can now wear a fun dress with colored tights and open-toed shoes, you can also pair your tights with trainers.

Picture this. Black tights or fashion-forward fishnets paired with clunky white trainers and an adorable short skirt. Do you love street style? This embodies the street style movement, and we are here for it. 

Stockings Are for the Bedroom

Come on now. We all know that this isn’t true. Stockings can be worn instead of tights and can be added to your everyday legwear collection. Stockings and suspenders are no longer a special occasion ensemble worn in the bedroom. 

Black Opaque Is the Only Way to Go

Yes, black opaque is certainly a go-to and a staple in our wardrobe, but it is not the only way to go. With so many options these days, we can choose from a selection of colors, patterns, or textures to dress up or update any outfit for any season or occasion. 

Patterned Tights Only Pair Well With Plain Outfits

While minimalism may be the in thing when it comes to home design these days, we aren’t following that same trend in the world of fashion. Don’t be afraid to get creative and play around by mixing different colors and patterns. 

You don’t have to stick to a plain outfit when wearing patterned tights. Pattern clash and mix and match are where it’s at in fashion.

Tights Are for Cold Weather

We all have that favorite pair of tights we pull out when the weather gets cooler, but this doesn’t have to be the only time for them. Every season can be tight season. Wear a lower denier when it is warmer outside. 

Ready to pick up a few new pairs of tights or stockings to add to your wardrobe? We have a great selection at Hosieree.com. Don’t be afraid to break all the rules and find a style you love.
