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!

5 Reasons Why You Should Own Open Crotch Tights

We can only imagine the surprised faces of ladies who have heard of open crotch tights for the first time. It does sound bold and really kinky, and some might even say it is not for the faint of heart but we beg to differ! There are many reasons why open crotch tights should be the new fashion trend and why you should not fear owning at least a pair. 

To ease your worries and to give you an extra confidence boost, here are five reasons why having your own open crotch tights is good idea.

  • Lighter And Cooler – Contrary to popular belief, open crotch tights are not just made for the sexy times and wild evenings. In fact, this type of tights can also be used in practical and smart ways. For instance, they are the best fit for warm days because they are made lighter and they have that extra window by your inner thighs. You would be thankful once you experience the coolness and comfort that open crotch tights can bring.
  • Confidence Booster – The thing with open crotch tights is that you are the only one who is aware of it. It is without a doubt a very sexy piece of hosiery and we all know how sexy pieces like this can be empowering. Even if it is only for yourself, knowing that you are wearing something brave and bold can add a skip to your step and can make you raise your chin a little higher when you face the world. 
  • Say Goodbye To Rashes And Rips – Ladies who are gifted with thick thighs often experience rashes and rips in their inner thighs. The fabric from any legwear can be too uncomfortable in these areas especially when they are stretched. The good news is you would not have to experience rashes and rips with open crotch thighs because the gusset area is uncovered and free!
  • More Movement – The absence of fabric and threads that usually holds the gusset area gives you more freedom of movement. You can stretch your legs and sit down in any position that you want. There is nothing holding you back from freely moving around, which is good for extremely busy days! Add in the coolness that it brings plus the absence of rubbing and rips? You will definitely agree that open crotch tights should be the innovation of the century.
  • A Welcome Surprise – No one needs to know that you are wearing open crotch tights underneath, but if someone gets lucky enough to get an invite, then this simple seductive trick will leave them in awe. It is also a simple and effortless addition to kinky nights and sexy moments. You get to move comfortably during the day, and you get a pleasantly satisfying experience in the evening.

Get To Know The Wonders Of Cuban Heel Hosiery

Get To Know The Wonders Of Cuban Heel Hosiery

You’d be surprised at how the smallest details can bring big changes to your fashion choices. Take the Cuban heel for example! If you are not familiar with this style, take this opportunity to know about the Cuban heel and the wonders it can do to your body and fashion. 

What Is A Cuban Heel?

Cuban heels are the seams at the heel of your tights that are darker in color compared to the rest of the tights. They also come in a rising form, narrowing on the way up into a flat or square end. Cuban heels are often overlooked because they are located behind your legs, thus causing you to miss out the opportunity to flaunt them properly. So how exactly are Cuban heels fashion game changers?

Look Long-legged

 Wearing heels can make your legs appear longer. The back seams that stretch up from the bottom of your Cuban heel pantyhose until it disappears up and underneath your dress, make it look like there is still much leg space available. It also helps that the pantyhose is able to give your legs a form-fitting hug that also makes look long and slender.

Slender Ankles 

Speaking of slender, Cuban heels can also give you the subtle sexiness that slender ankles can bring out. Hosiery pieces like thigh highs are known for being chic and seductive. Adding in a Cuban heel that low-key highlights your ankles and makes them look slender completes the soft and sexy look you are aiming for.

Mysterious Beauty

Cuban heels often come in black-colored stockings, tights, and thigh highs, but black is not the only sexy color around. Preferring nude colors will not exempt you from enjoying the magic of the Cuban heel style. It offers an even subtler touch compared to black hosiery but the back seams are noticeable enough to give a mysterious effect, especially with the added sheen just like this nude back seam tights.

Cuban heels teach us not to ignore the little details because they are what makes us stand out. If you think you are ready to change the game, you can find Cuban heel styles at hosieree.com.

4 Ways to Style Your Leggings

The Ins and Outs of Color Blocking

One of the biggest requests in the fashion world is learning how to style your leggings the right way. If you have been afraid to pull out your favorite leggings out of fear that you aren’t wearing or styling them the right way, then you have definitely stumbled upon the right place.

Today we will talk about 4 ways to style your leggings to give you back that power and confidence you should have when it comes to your wardrobe.

1. The Look of Denim

Denim is a classic look that is still being embraced today. If you are a lover of all things denim, then pull out those leggings and make a pair to remember. You can pair black leggings with a colorful t-shirt, denim jacket, and sneakers. Or you can dress up the look by pairing black leggings with a tunic and a darker wash denim jacket with your favorite heels or wedges.

2. Pull Out the Leather

A bit more daring? Then pull out your favorite leather leggings and pair them with an oversized sweater for comfort and style. Accessorize to dress up this look with a long necklace and your favorite pair of heels. A long, silky top or another shirt that is long enough to work as a dress are also great choices for this look.

3. How To Be More Versatile

Leggings are a great wardrobe staple because of their versatility. So, learn how to wear that one pair of leggings in multiple ways to stretch your wardrobe even further. A flared dress, belt, leggings, and wedged heels is a dressy way to rock those leggings.

A blazer, fitted dress, leggings, and pumps make a great casual work outfit. And a fitted skirt, oversized sweater, leggings, and ankle boots make for the best autumn/winter attire for everyday wear and comfort.

4. Don’t Be Afraid to Stand Out

Have a bold pair of leggings like sequined gold or a reptile skin pattern? If you want something bold, sparkly, shiny, or fun for a night out, pair your leggings with a sleeveless top and a more conservative jacket, and you are sure to stand out.

As you can see, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to styling your leggings. With various colors, styles, and patterns in your wardrobe, the possibilities are endless.

Stay Warm And Cozy This Season With These Winter Must-Haves

Winter is almost here, and that means sweaters, coats, and hats. Unfortunately, a lot of popular wardrobe pieces such as summer dresses and shorts do not provide any warmth. That is why many of us feel that we have to choose comfort over style during the colder months.

However, before you put away your summer clothes, check out the warm weather options at Hosieree.com. Many of our pieces can be paired with your summer favorites to create an appropriate winter look. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Layer With Winter Leggings

Winter leggings like the 3D Winter Leggings and the Fleece–Lined Leather Leggings are specifically designed to keep you warm. They are made with thicker materials that wick moisture and provide insulation. These staples are great for any winter wardrobe because they can be worn alone like any of your favorite leggings but are slim enough to be worn under a pair of pants.

Change Out Your Tights

Tights are always a winter must-have. However, not all of them are comfortable to wear during winter. In fact, even some dark opaque tights are lightweight and do not provide much warmth. However, there are tights meant to withstand even the coldest winter weather. The Arctic 500 Microfiber Tights and the Belissima Everest 100 Winter Tights are wind- and cold-resistant. They can be worn under your favorite dress, skirt, or pair of shorts, or they can go under a pair of slacks for added protection against low temperatures.

Wear Your Summer Tights

Before you put away your favorite tights for the summer, consider wearing them instead with a pair of cozy leg warmers. Leg warmers like the Cazzola Gaetano 25698 Fall Fashion Leg Warmer and the Koto Leg Warmer add much-needed warmth. They look fantastic layered over boots or even jeans. They can transform any of your favorite tights into winter tights, and they will help you stay stylish all season long.

These are only a few of the options we offer at Hosieree.com to help keep you warm in the winter. The best part is that all of them are flexible and can help enhance your existing wardrobe. So before packing up your spring and summer clothes for the season, check out our selection and find pieces that will make those comfortable no matter the weather outside.

What Makes European Hosiery So High-Quality?

What Makes European Hosiery So High-Quality?

When you are shopping for hosiery, you will quickly learn that there is a broad range of quality out there. There are inexpensive hosiery products you can buy at the drugstore for pennies. Those are fine for one or two wears, but they quickly tear, stretch, and rip. Because of their low quality, you have to buy more pairs of pantyhose, which ultimately ends up costing more over time.

On the other hand, there is high-quality European hosiery. European hosiery has a global reputation for being the best-quality hosiery on the market. Read on to find out why.

Fiber Quality

Fibers are the threads that make up any garment, including hosiery. These threads can be made with a number of natural materials such as cotton, wool, and silk as well as synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, and rayon. Fiber quality is determined by:

  • Length and length uniformity
  • Strength and micronaire
  • Color and leaf grade

The quality of the fiber has a direct impact on both the strength and durability of the material and the comfort and softness the person using it feels. High-quality fibers are strong, resistant to fading, and soft to the touch. European hosiery is made with extremely high-quality fibers, which means that European hosiery is longer-lasting and more comfortable for the wearer.

Strong Stitching

Another factor impacting the quality of any garment is the stitching. There are a variety of signs of poor-quality stitching that are easy to identify, including the following:

  • Unraveling, snagging, and loose stitches
  • Missed stitches and crooked stitch lines
  • Mismatched stitching threads
  • Holes around the thread

Poor stitching makes a garment fall apart in the wash and eventually leads to holes and tears. European hosiery uses stitching techniques that have been developed over centuries. These stitching techniques hold the garment together for a lifetime, so you do not have to worry about buying multiple pairs.

Pattern Design

Finally, what makes European hosiery so high-quality is the patterns. Patterning is an art form that requires dedication and skill. The right pattern for hosiery provides flexibility for all body styles but also fits like a glove. A good pattern fits comfortably at the waist and smoothens your waistline. It provides both room and support in the hips and the back. Finally, it skims the legs, providing a smooth line and a lot of comfort. Hosiery made with a good pattern never loses its shape and is flattering on the wearer.

Those factors greatly affect the quality of hosiery. If you would like to see the difference for yourself, check out our vast selection of European hosiery at Hosieree.com. Once you experience the difference in European quality, we know you will never go back to drugstore options again!

How To Stylishly Pair Tights With Boots

How To Stylishly Pair Tights With Boots

Fall is finally here! We can pack up our summer sandals and get out our favorite pairs of boots. One of the easiest and most stylish ways to wear your fall boots is paired with a dress skirt, or shorts and a great pair of tights. Though it’s a great look, it can be a little tricky to pull off so you look your absolute best. However, with a few simple tips, you can make sure that your fall favorite is also flattering.

Booties

Booties are really an elegant footwear choice, so you want to make sure that your hosiery is equally as elegant. An easy way is to go with a pair of matte black tights. If you’re looking for a more eye-catching look, you can also pair them with a pair of matte colored tights like the Blues 70 Opaque Tights. Booties also look great with fishnet stockings and lace tights.

Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are a perfect option for fall. However, ankle boots can often make your legs look shorter and wider. However, if you pair ankle boots with a pair of tights, you can make your legs look leaner and longer. Choosing a monochromatic look will lengthen the look of your legs even further. For example, if you’re wearing black boots, choose black stockings. If you’re wearing brown boots, choose brown stockings.

Knee-Length Boots


Knee-length boots are a standard of fall fashion. Wearing knee-length boots with tights gives you a little more flexibility because you don’t have to be as concerned about staying warm. So you can wear some mesh tights like the Gabriella Inez Tights. Knee-high boots also cover most of the leg, so you can use this as an opportunity to add an easy splash of color or an interesting print without overdoing it.

Following these simple parameters will make sure that you always look incredible when you pair boots and tights. Hosieree.com offers the largest selection of European hosiery. We’ll help you find the perfect tights no matter your choice of footwear. Browse our collection and let us know if you have any questions.

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.
