Hosiery Horoscope

When
you think pantyhose, are
you thinking about sheer pantyhose and nude tights, pale
colors and skin tones?
Did you know that hosiery comes in a wide variety of other
colors and styles
that you can experiment with? 2012 is the year of the Black
Water Dragon, and
the dragon loves luxury clothing and extravagance. If you want
to follow the
horoscope concept when it comes to your clothing, then you
should deck your
wardrobe out in funky and bright colors. Dragons also really
love jewelry, and
the favorite colors of the dragon are gold and black.

The
dragon is also fond of the
colors yellow, green and red. You should also consider
skipping sheer pantyhose
in favor of colors that suit your horoscope sign. For example,
the color for
Aries is orange ( Microfiber Sophie70, Classic Opaque Tights Freedom). The color for Taurus is dark blue (Funky, Baquette, Sira ). Navy and
black in
combination are especially beneficial here, such as a blue
dress with black
jewelry and black leggings. As a Taurus it is recommended that
you avoid the
color red. Gemini should avoid blue nylons and sheer pantyhose
in favor of
green and yellow fashion tights ( Laura, Luna Piena60, Rox ).

Cancer
will do particularly
well with violet and blue ( Justine, Ave 70, Uppsala ), colors that the Dragon is going to
favor especially
for people born in the month of July. For Leo, people born
under the sign of
the lion, gold and similar colors such as tan or sheer
pantyhose will generally
be best ( Lurex20, Leggings Lurex, Leo, Viena ). Virgo, on the other hand, has a few different options
to consider
including green, red, violet and blue ( Zafiro120, Jennifer, Celestina, Irene ). Virgo needs to avoid
yellow, however.
Libra is going to get along well with pretty much any bright
color, though you
should focus on trendy and elegant wear ( Rio, Eddy, Ruth, Tamira ).

As a
Scorpio your best bet is
white ( Dea, Coco Stockings, Desire – Stay Up ),as it is considered to be the right color for the
scorpion sign. For
Sagittarius, light blue is the ideal color for harmony ( Ronny, Brigitte). For
Capricorn, the
ideal color is green in nearly any shade ( Sevilla, Crys80, Brigida ). For Aquarius, you
should opt for
fashion tights in a yellow color ( Palau Leggings, Cortina40 ). Pisces will do particularly
well with a
mixture of white and black for good luck in the year 2012
( Capri Leggings, Invisible, Ancara ), but
when ringing in
the New Year you will be better suited for yellow or red ( Strip Panty, Genny ).
Experimenting with
opaque tights in these colors is a great way to explore the
correlation between
the clothing that you wear and your astrological sign and
horoscope.

Return Policy – Have A Return?

RecycleMany fashion products are capable of being returned if you are not satisfied with them, but this is not the case when it comes to hosiery. Nearly every online hosiery store in US is going to have a similar return policy. There are numerous reasons for this, and it is  important for you to consider them when choosing hosiery so that you do not end up buying a pair of unique fashion tights or black leggings that you are ultimately dissatisfied with. Make sure that you become aware of the company’s return policy so that you can follow it to the letter when buying hosiery online.

Most websites for an online hosiery store in US are going to have a return policy. If you do not see a clear cut return policy online, then you are going to want to contact the store directly to find out what their policy is before you make a purchase. Some online stores do not accept returns at all, and so you will want to make sure that this is not the case before buying a product. It is definitely important  that you pourover the return policy when buying from a hosiery store to make sure that you do not end up with a product in which you are dissatisfied.

Hosiery items are very rarely returnable, and this is especially the case when it comes to used products orproducts that have been taken out of their packaging. It is important for you to understand why potentially used hosiery products cannot be returned, because
there are hygiene and health considerations to make. Delicate hosiery products can become damaged easily upon removal from their packaging as well. If the hosiery store cannot reasonably put the product back on the shelves or resell it, because the item may have been worn, then it is in the store’s best interest not to take that product back. If you buy a hosiery product like black leggings ( 100 Denier Opaque Leggings, Dance Panta, Eco-Friendly, Rain, Leggings Caprice ) or sheer tights( Brigitte15, Edera15, Elegance10, Etoil10, Fusion, Gala15, Silhouette15, Velato15 ) , you should make sure it is what you want before you take it out of the packaging.

Ultimately what you need to know when buying from an online hosiery store in US is that you should not open the packaging unless you are completely satisfied with the product. Additionally, you should make sure to be aware of the returns policy on all products before you buy just in case you are not satisfied with what you are purchasing and need to make a change.

Pantyhose – How to Recycle Old Pantyhose

PrettyPollyFNetAnkletsIf you have old pantyhose that are no longer in wearable condition, but you want to get more use out of them instead of simply throwing them away, then you should consider the many ways that you can recycle your old pantyhose to breathe new life and new use into them. Whether you have pantyhose like print ( Edera, Fiamma,
Parigi, Irene,
Olimpia ) or striped tights ( Funky,
Delhi, Dubai, Rox, Roma ), black leggings ( Ave70, 3D Winter Leggings, My Time Panta, Venus, Eddy ) or nude pantyhose (Marfil, Edera15, Velato15, Nirvana, Luxury15 ), there are actually a lot of different ways that you can turn a well worn pair of pantyhose into something new. This way, you can get several or many additional uses out of each pair of worn pantyhose before the point where you need to throw the material away.

One way that you can recycle pantyhose is to make sachets out of them. You can achieve this by cutting off the legs, cutting each one in half so that you have four separate fabric pieces. Fill each one of the pieces up with lavender and then tie all the ends together so that you have a ball that is scented in lavender. Place them in various areas such as your wardrobe or your underwear drawer. This will keep moths away as well as make sure that everything smells nice and sweet.

Use old pantyhose to wash your delicate articles. Cut the old pantyhose at about the thigh, place your delicate washables in the stocking, tie off the open end, and launder as usual.

You can also use black leggings and similar materials to create strainers for various liquids like oils and paints. If you need to strain a liquid, simply cut the nylons open and stretch them over the container that you are straining into. You can also use pantyhose as attractive ties for staking plants in your yard or garden. Choosing brightly colored tights ( Sugar, Petal, Vanish, Life ) is a great way to stake your plants up attractively and in a creative manner that your neighbors may not have thought of. Using your nylons as a laundry bag is another great way that you can recycle your tights.

Did you know that you can use pantyhose, opaque tights or pretty much any type of nylons as an emergency fix if your fan belt should happen to break? Let your engine cool down and then tie the nylons tightly in the place where the broken belt was located. This is a temporary fix at best, but it can be the difference between getting home safely and having to call for a tow. These are just some of the ways that you can recycle your brand name hosiery to suit different needs after they are no longer suitable for wearing. What other ways can you come up with?

Your Black Tights


Black is one of the color of the upcoming fall and winter seasons. Why? That’s because there is not another color that doesn’t go well with the color black, making any color look hot and giving you the flexibility you need to stay up with the hottest trends. Being that the trends change so much, having black in your wardrobe will always keep you in style in terms of color.

Whether it is sheer, black hosiery like
Agata, Brazil15, Moon Light or the latest fashion trend of tights like Bernetta, Debora,
Elegant, black is something that everyone needs to have in their closet. Are you a woman with a little black dress? If not, you need to get one. Once you have that little black dress you can pair it with a amazing variety of leg accessories like hosiery,
tights, stockings or thigh highs. These trendy items could be made of lace ( Amy, Genny, Fantasy ), lurex (Bianca,
Ilona, Viena ) and other materials and have solid colors or consist of patterns. Even if you like bright colored dresses, you can still wear an elegant pair of stockings ( Chic15, Champs Elysees, Lady15 ) that can transform your legs and make heads turn with envy.

Better yet, team your colorful dresses with the new “neutral”
hosiery in different colors. Classic colors such as gray, white, and natural are very trendy this season. These colors that were once considered to be bland bring about a certain degree of sophistication that was not considered before. Tights or stockings in these new colors are just the items you need to offset the beautiful black dresses that all the rage forever.

Choose your Halloween hosiery



With Halloween just around the corner, you should already be preparing for the best Halloween costume that you can wear for that endless Halloween party you are going to attend. If you do not have any idea what to wear to your party yet, you should remember that there is no need to spend hundreds of dollars just to come up with a creative and high quality costume. In fact, you do not have to go out and buy a new set of costume this year. You can use the costumes you have worn the previous years, and just accentuate it with different hosiery.

If you want to buy a new costume altogether, you can make your costume sexier by accentuating it with any kind of hosiery. Add some spice into your costume by wearing tights in shades that will complement with your chosen attire, or accentuate that sexy doctor or nurse costume with stay ups. You can even use
pantyhose that will match with the costume you have selected. Just remember that if you are wearing that skimpy costume for your Halloween party, you should never go out without dressing up your legs first.

If you want to make the best out of your Halloween costume, here are some great ideas you can use:

The Royal Secret to Nice Legs


Many fashion trends have been launched by world renowned celebrities. Perhaps due to their influence and sheer beauty, many people tend to follow such trends immediately, creating a huge demand for whatever hairstyle, clothes, as well as accessories and fashion items they are using. From Farah Fawcett’s trademark hairstyle, to Twiggy’s waif-like look, or Audrey Hepburn’s pixie style—enduring fashion trends create and define a particular look that will forever be associated with the celebrity. With a global media obsessed with royalty, it is no wonder that people across the world are also focusing on the fashion choices of these royalties, especially when it comes to the current ‘It’ girl, the Royal Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.

A case in point: when she swept through North America for her first official visit after her wedding to the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, many people closely followed her fashion choices and some were surprised that she dared to wear shimmery ultra nude stockings with her dresses during official state visits and functions. A few days after images of her circulated in various media outlets, sales of these previously unpopular sheer
pantyhose increased by as much as 85% compared with last year’s sales—and this is just for the first half of 2011!

Thanks to this trend launched by Kate and her sister Pippa Middleton, many people around the world have also begun wearing sheer tights or nude pantyhose, even incorporating them to their day wear.  What was previously viewed as a poor fashion choice is now making a comeback as a hot trend among women. Today, technology has made it possible to produce barely there or ultra sheer stockings that are also durable, comfortable, and allow your legs to ‘breathe.’ High tech materials also reduce constriction while providing firm support for those who need it.

Another good thing about this latest trend is that they allow women to wear clothes that they have not been able to wear when the ‘bare legs’ look is highly preferred. Nowadays, women can walk out with confidence, knowing that their flaws are covered oh so naturally with these sheer tights. Finally, they are no longer confined to special events and can now be worn practically anywhere and anytime. With popular celebrities, such as Beyonce also sporting these nude tights, sales are expected to increase for the rest of the year. At least for now, it looks like sheer pantyhose are here to stay!

Why Would Men Want To Wear Hosiery?


There have been a lot
of changes in the world of hosiery over the last several centuries. There was a
time back in the 1400’s when it was the men that wore them predominately. You
know the images we all have of guys wearing hose and leotards, well that was not
far from the truth at all. Then women discovered the beauty of hosiery and in
time men seemed to give up on them all together. Finally the times are changing
again and more and more men are rediscovering the benefits of wearing men’s
hosiery.

In fact the use of hosiery among men is
getting to be so popular and so accepted that Entrepreneur Magazine published an
article that included the quote:
“One item U.S. military personnel are asking for is pantyhose. Dating back to his days as a professional football
player, Bart Star said he wore pantyhose for warmth during games. Now, that
might give some people pause, but pantyhose are one way that military personnel
can protect themselves from pesky sand fleas.”
If the military are
willing to wear men’s hosiery then why on earth are other men worried it will
make them seem to girlie?
The truth is that if all men wore hosiery there
would be a lot less health problems for them to contend with. There are numerous
reason why this small piece of clothing can really make your life
better.

For example wearing the right men’s hosiery can actually improve
your blood circulation and as a result the rest of your body feels more
energized and happy on the whole. This can aid one with dealing wit diseases
like diabetes as well, and if you suffer from diabetes then you know how any
thing that can help is a godsend. Male population suffer from Varicose vein as
much as women and support hosiery help to improve blood flow and massage your
legs to help veins in pushing blood towards the heart. Even doctors prescribe
support hosiery to people that suffer from swelling feet or fatigue legs, with
no differentiation between men and women.

Of course the fact that men’s
hosiery helps a man to stay warm even when it is cold outside doesn’t hurt at
all. This is a comfortable way to stay nice and toasty no matter what the
temperature drops to. And best of all hosiery is comfortable. Things have
changed a lot over the last 10 years in terms of the comfort level and now you
can wear men’s hosiery and feel strong, proud, comfortable and perfectly manly
all at the same time.
If you are a man and you have not yet checked out all
the benefits that come with hosiery then you are missing out in terms of comfort
and health. It is time you learned all you can about this to make.

HISTORY of HOSIERY


The history of hosiery dates back as early as 280 AD when people first learned to knit.
They started knitting stockings to keep their legs warm, but these hose were a far cry from the
versions we wear today. Hose started to take the shape we know and love today in medieval times,
which is also when they took the name hose.
In Medieval Europe any material that could be woven was used to create hose.
These hose resembled socks much more than they resembled modern hosiery.
They did not have a panty, either, and were held up by garters, strings, or ties at the belt.
n the 1580s a reverend by the name William Lee invented a knitting machine.
Now hose could be made quickly and efficiently, and
silk stockings began to
take precedent over the itchy, woolen variety of the past. Queen Elizabeth was the first
monarch to wear silk stockings, and she loved them so much that she ruled that anyone who took the
plans for Lee’s invention out of the country would be executed.
Silk stockings were worn by both men
and women, and they were sewn in a wide range of sizes. This is because they did not stretch,
so in order to avoid sagging the hose had to be as form fitting as possible for each individual’s particular size.
Hose also came in a wide range of colors, and women were never seen without their legs covered by hose.

As history continued, hose were made from any woven fabric, including cotton, silk, and wool.
The hose were cut from a pattern and then sewn. Eventually someone invented a machine that could knit in a circle.
This machine created a long tube of fabric, but without something in the fabric to allow it to stretch,
hose sagged on just about every wearer.
The world of hose continued in this fashion, with silk hose held up by
garters as the most popular design worn by women,
until the early 1900s when nylon was discovered. In 1937, a researcher
for the DuPont Company found that heating
a mixture of coal, air, tar, and water created a fiber that was strong
and flexible, but also felt silky.
These polymer fibers were exceptionally thin and could stretch. This
material was called nylon, and immediately put to use to make hose.
The nylon hose, or nylons as we call them today, hit the world scene at the 1939 World’s Fair. The next year they
started selling the new hose in New York, and 72,000 pairs were purchased on the very first day they were on
the market. After four days, four million pairs of nylons had been purchased. The new material was a hit
because it stretched and conformed to the woman’s leg, rather than gathering and bunching like silk and cotton hose did.


The introduction of the panty to the world of hosiery came in the 1950s. Introducing a built-in panty to a pair of
nylons eliminated the need for certain undergarments. The late fifties and early sixties were when Spandex was
discovered and added to hose. Yarn manufacturers realized that they could crimp heated yarn. This created a yarn
that could stretch and then return to its normal shape, making it perfect to incorporate into nylons. DuPont created
a Spandex that they called Lycra, which is still found in today’s nylons.
Nylons of this era still had a seam up the back of the leg and the high
Cuban heel, which protected the nylons
from runs. When World War II hit, nylon was taken off the clothing
market and was used only in production of war materials.
Women missed the fashion statement their nylons made so much that they
drew seams on the back of their legs with makeup pencils.
However, in 1965 nylons dropped their seams when Glen Raven Mills
introduced a pair that had no seam. As fashion became
bigger and brighter in the sixties, so did hose. Women could buy hose
with textures, patterns, and bright colors.
Stripes and patterns with psychedelic colors were not uncommon. The legs
and the hose they wore were the focus of the
fashion world.

Today, nylons are worn mainly by women. Much more professional and empowering than socks, hosiery is considered the main
garment for women’s legs today. Stockings come in every shade, texture, and size imaginable. You can buy fishnet pairs for
those moments that you feel sensual, sparkling pairs for times that call for fun, and even control top hose for times you need
a little help controlling the bulge. Retro nylons with the
high Cuban heel and the back seam are back, and considered quite
fashionable and sexy. You can even buy woolen and silk stockings to give you a taste of the days when nylons didn’t stretch,
but rather bulged and sagged. Whatever your tastes are, there is a pair of nylons to match!
