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!

We love this pair because it comes in a range of gorgeous colors including black, red, and nude with a black seam. With that, you can easily find the perfect match for your lingerie.

4. Oh La La Cheri 3129 Raquel Garter Belt

Comfortable enough to wear all day but easy enough to put on and take off, this is the perfect simple garter belt to complete your lingerie collection.

5. Desiree 15 Stay-Up Stockings With Floral Lace

One more option for date night is to skip the garter belt and go for stay-up stockings. Stay-up stockings have a built-in feature that keeps them in place while you wear them.

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. To find your perfect pair of hosiery, check us out at Hosieree.com today.

5 Reasons To Wear Summer Hosiery

5 Reasons To Wear Summer Hosiery

While hosiery is a popular fall, winter, and spring staple, it doesn’t lose its importance in the summer. However, a lot of women will skip hosiery once the warm weather comes around, believing that it will be uncomfortable to use in hot temperatures. However, with the right amount of denier, a pair of sheer hose will enhance the beauty of your legs and keep them cool at the same time. There are also other benefits hosiery can bring to your wardrobe regardless of the season. Read on to discover 5 reasons to wear summer hosiery.

  • Feel confident in any hemline – Summertime allows for the shortest hemlines of the year, so you can have your legs on full display. This can make some feel a bit uncomfortable if they’re not confident in the way their legs look, but that is where hosiery comes to the rescue. Hosiery can provide an “airbrush” effect, camouflaging bruises, scrapes, spider veins, and other imperfections you want to hide.
  • Give your razor a break – During the summer months, shaving every day or every other day can be harsh on your skin, but what other option do you have? After all, it’s too hot to wear long skirts or pants. The answer is hosiery. It will leave your legs looking perfect every time, so you can wear shorts and give your skin a break from frequent shaving.
  • Cool down – If you need to attend an outdoor wedding or other similar events, you can keep cool with hosiery. Place a spare pair of sheer hose in the freezer while you’re getting ready to go out, and pack it in a small insulated bag you can keep in your handbag or the car. When you start feeling too warm, take the cooled pair of hose and switch them out with the ones you’re currently wearing.
  • Even out your skin – Getting an accidental tan in a pair of crop pants isn’t a big deal—until you put on a short sundress. Summer hosiery can help you even out the look of your legs, taking away those unwanted tan lines.
  • Keep your feet protected – The summer season is sweating season, and going without hosiery can leave your shoes doing all the work. Sweaty feet can lead to shoe breakdown and odor, blisters, and damage to the skin of your feet. Summer hosiery helps wick moisture away, protects your pedicure, and leaves your shoes fresher.

If you’re in the market for summer hosiery that will complete your wardrobe, check out what we have at Hosieree.com today!

How Your Hosiery Factors In To The Biggest Fashion Trends Of 2020

How Your Hosiery Factors In To The Biggest Fashion Trends Of 2020

The latest fashion trends of the new year are rolling in, and we at Hosieree.com are particularly excited about brainstorming all of the different ways we can pair beautiful European-made hosiery with any and all of these looks. The fashion trends hitting runways and walkways during the year 2020 are varied, and there really is something for anyone who wants to look chic and modern in their various looks. The top ways to pair hosiery with the top fashion trends of 2020 are:

  • Puff sleeves – In 2020 sleeves are getting bigger and hemlines are getting shorter, which creates the absolute perfect conditions for great hosiery. Puff sleeves are particularly dramatic and feminine, which makes us think that this look would look marvelous with an equally feminine pair of hose. Something simple, sleek, and elegant like our wide fishnet tights would be perfect.
  • Polka Dots – We can expect to see a massive resurgence of polka dots in 2020, especially since designers like Balenciaga and Balmain really featured these looks heavily during last year’s fashion weeks. If you’re not quite sold on a full polka dot look, there is no better place to incorporate this trend than your hosiery. Polka dot hosiery can be worn with office wear, with date-night outfits, to lighten up grunge throw-back looks, or in pattern mixing all without missing a beat.
  • Pleats – One of the new fashion trends we’re seeing make a first-year comeback in 2020 is pleats. For a long time, pleats were out and sleek flat-fronts were in, but this year is seeing pleats just about anywhere they can be squeezed in. Pleats can make some intimidated, as they want to embrace this trend in a sleek and trendy way, not an outdated way. Pairing pleats with an ultra-sheer pair of hosiery keeps that sex appeal going without ever becoming too much.
  • The feminine utility jumpsuit – Utility jumpsuits aren’t just for your mechanic anymore. These looks are being seen on high-fashion runways from Philip Lim to Jonathan Simkhai. One way to dress this up for a date-night look that has plenty of modern trendy edge is to roll up the bottom legs of the jumpsuit to let a trendy hosiery choice show through. Alongside a stiletto shoe and a statement clutch, hosiery like our Argo Fashion Tights by Trasparenze is just the feminine accessory you’re after.
