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 Pleats can make some intimidated, as they want to embrace this trend in a sleek and trendy way, not an outdated way.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.

If you’re looking for the perfect hosiery to embrace and enhance your 2020 looks, see what else we have in store at Hosieree.com today!

Do You Know The Difference Between Stockings And Tights?

Do You Know The Difference Between Stockings And Tights?

If there’s one question, or two, that is constant in the world of women’s legwear fashion, it’s this: What’s the difference between stockings and tights? And which ones should you choose? At Hosieree.com, we believe it’s a matter of personal preference as they both have many positive qualities. If you aren’t sure what your personal preference is, consider the differences to determine which is right for you.

Stockings

Stockings start at the foot and cover the leg up to the mid-thigh, or sometimes just above the knee. They are work with a suspender belt to keep them from falling down. (Note – Do not confuse thigh highs with stockings. Thigh highs have a silicone strip along the top of each leg to hold them in place.)  Most stockings are sheer, but there are some opaque varieties available. Some of the benefits of wearing stockings include:

  • They make you feel empowered. (There’s something about being the only one who knows that you’re wearing a sexy back-seam stocking under your suit.)  
  • They fit all body shapes and sizes.
  • With better air flow to your bottom, stockings can keep your cooler and more comfortable.
  • They come in so many fun and flirty styles, you can wear them for any occasion.

One disadvantage of stockings is that they cannot be worn with too-high skirts or shorts.

Tights

Tights cover your legs from the toe to the waist. They’re traditionally thicker than stockings, but they now come in a wide variety of deniers and opacities. Some of the benefits of tights include:

  • They can be a lifesaver if you live in a cold climate.
  • You don’t need suspenders to wear them.
  • They can be worn under shorts and very short hemlines.
  • You can find them in beautiful patterns and designs.

One disadvantage of tights is that they can be too restricting and warm due to the full coverage.

Whether you prefer stockings or tights, we have a beautiful variety of colors and styles. They’re all made from the highest quality European fabrics available, which make them feel as good as they look. Browse through our selection for the hottest styles and trends to make your legs happy. You might just end up choosing both.

No Thigh Gap? No Problem

No Thigh Gap? No Problem

Not everyone is a size two. In fact, many women are well over a size two. Plenty of women have curvy bodies, with no thigh gap to be found. It isn’t difficult for the size-two women to find styles and shapes of leggings, thigh highs, and pantyhose that fit great and look even better. For those who fill out their legwear in glorious beauty with zero thigh gap, however, it can be a bit trickier.  Continue reading No Thigh Gap? No Problem →
