10 Things You Want To Know About Hosiery

Cervia
Whether you call them tights, stockings, leggings orpantyhose, hosiery can really dress up an outfit, adding length to a silhouette and style to a little black dress. Hosiery can be found in a variety of different looks and feels depending on the type of fabric that they are made from. Here are 10 things that you want to know about hosiery. The more you understand about hosiery, the better able you will be to truly enjoy everything that this fashion accessory has to offer.

1. Light and sheer hosiery is delicate and requires more care, and some hosiery comes with reinforced heels and toes so that it will last longer. When you buy your hosiery, keep the intended use in mind. If you need nylons that are going to last, then you are going to want to buy a thicker, reinforced type. If you are looking for more of a statement, sheer might be ideal but they will not last as long.

2. Sheer tights or hosiery are composed of the finest yarn, typically made completely out of nylon. They tend to be very, very flattering to your shape and your silhouette, but you are going to find that they are much more delicate in comparison to hosiery made from other, heavier fibers. The most fragile of all nylons are ultra sheer, which allow the largest amount of your natural skin tone to show. These require that your legs be shaved or waxed meticulously for best results.

3. Control tops and support hosiery both come in a wide range of different fabrics, typically in combination with Spandex and nylon. They offer a gentle and graduated level of compression to provide a better fit, a slimmer silhouette and strength in all of the highest stress areas. These are sturdier, reinforced types of hosiery that can meet a wide variety of different purposes depending on your individual need.

4. Opaque nylons are heavier or thicker than sheers, and so they are more durable. In the past, sheer was the way to go, but in modern fashion trends it is becoming increasingly popular for opaques to be worn, especially because they can create such drastic improvements on the look. If you are looking to bring more attention to your legs, then using opaque nylons is going to help. If you want to create an even more dramatic look, use tights, which are heavier in thickness than opaque tights.

5. There are other types of stockings and hosiery that can be beneficial, including
stay-ups and
stockings. Stay-ups are a type of individual stockings that are elastic on top with a special gripping lining. They are more expensive in comparison to regular pantyhose, but often worthwhile. Stockings on the other hand are separate, lacking the same grip as stay ups, requiring that you use a girdle, corset or garter belt with stocking clips to keep them up.

6. There are special hosiery options for pregnant women. Known as
maternity pantyhose, they are designed specially to provide the woman with extra room and extra comfort in the top, along with support in the legs to boost blood circulation since mothers-to-be can have circulation issues and legs that become tired easily.

7. There also exists a type of hosiery known as run-resistant pantyhose. These garments are most commonly made from thicker yarns and from studier knits in comparison to sheerer types of pantyhose. Even run-resistant hosiery can develop runs and holes, though they are perceived to be a bit sturdier in comparison to other types of tights and stockings.

8. If you want to elongate and slenderize your figure, then the best types of hosiery to wear are darker, solid colors or hosiery with
ribbed textures when you are wearing darker clothes. If you want to elongate your silhouette, then you should be aiming to match your hosiery with the color of your skirt.

9. Keep in mind that pastel pantyhose, whites and similar light colors do not pair well with darker colored clothing unless you are specifically trying to cut your figure down, such as if you are especially tall. Light colored hosiery can look good with the right clothing, but you really have to be careful with the pairs that you are making, because the wrong pair between your clothing and your nylons can create a look opposite of what you were going for.

10. If you like the look of sheers, consider glittery or
shimmering sheers for an even sexier look. These shimmering or glittery sheer nylons can lengthen or elongate your silhouette and will make your legs look outstanding no matter what you are wearing. Choose neutral tones for the best results, especially when you are trying to show off the way that your legs look in the process.

Style, Comfort and Practicality: The Perfect Stocking for Any Occasion


Even
though nobody but you can decide what’s better for yourself
Stockings or
Pantyhose, we’d like to bring up several good points that some people may not
know or simply don’t pay attention to in Stockings.
Why did we decide to talk about Stockings right
now?

Well, first and foremost is we love stockings,
any kind: Sheer, Opaque, Lycra or 100% Nylons, Silk,
Classic with suspender
belts
or Stay ups and Thigh
Highs Fishnets
or Back-seamed. Doesn’t matter what kind of weather is outside you can always wear
Stockings.
Actually that’s one of many positive things about
Stockings.

Comfortable and Practical: It’s a huge difference
between pantyhose and Stockings when you wear them on a very hot day. Especially
if you try Stay Ups which do not require a suspender
belt, an extra piece of cloth for you to sweat in. I usually wear
15 Denier or
less Summer Thigh Highs to work during Summer. That gives me freedom of
movements and I don’t feel so tight in the waist and thigh areas and that also
leads to a better blood circulation.

Winter, and I get my Opaque stay ups or
stockings. When it’s really cold I put extra underlayer of hosiery, Like contrast
color microfiber tights
and then my thigh Highs over. Warm and cozy.

Go beyond practicality: Stockings will make your
legs look beautiful. Look at many different laces and top borders available.
Sometimes I have a hard time to make my decision.
French embroidered lace,
Flower design lace, Classic plain lace, contrast
color borders and your
legs are dressed and crowned with a gorgeous piece of art. Awesome
Fashion
Stockings
or Fishnets help you show your style and express yourself. Where as
Silk
Stockings
evoke you in
luxurious softness.

Don’t think Dirty think Sexy: Stockings are very
sexy. I don’t have to tell you how many men actually think that women wearing
Stockings looks much more sexy than wearing nothing at all. Well, probably all
of them think that way and honestly I agree with them 100%. Try it, choose
stockings or stay ups you like, put them on, and look in the mirror. There is
nothing wrong to feel sexy about yourself.

Healthy: There are numerous styles of
stockings that offer massage and support actions for your legs. We have
graduated compression
stockings for those
of you who suffer from swollen
feet and fatigues
in legs. Also everybody knows that all Moms-to-Be love to wear stay up
stockings because nothing strains the movement or rubs on the sensitive
skin of a growing tummy.

Fishnet Fashion – Then and Now


  The history of fishnets was never really clear that it was hard to tell
  how it originated. But all that is known about it is that it came to
  America by 1908 straight from France.Up until the sixties, fishnets
  were seen only worn by the so called ‘loose women’ and there were
  still stockings around which were held with garter belts. By the
  seventies, it was the punks who claimed these fishnets and women
  started wearing them under the micro-minis. It was only in the early
  parts of the nineties that the fishnets became more and more
  popular in the US, seeing them worn by models in fashion runways
  and at a common rate; they were sold to the market as fishnet
  tights
or pantyhose.

  By 2000, the fishnets became a sophisticated option for leg wear for
  women. Today these fishnets are seen as hot and sexy fashion that
  are really being demanded by a variety of markets, from older
  females down to the trendy teenagers. Many fashion businesses
  are also getting a lot of considerable income from offering items
  such as fishnet stockings and tights.

  The image of fishnet hosiery has greatly evolved from something of
  low class value to a world class thing of fashion. There are lots of
  hosiery brands that you can choose from in the market today but
  we greatly recommend that you start with our few trendy models
  like Lola,  Prestige and Carmen. So be trendy and get in touch with

The Importance Of Maternity Hosiery

During pregnancy, a woman’s body dramatically changes. Several health issues may arise due to these changes. Many of them deal with the woman’s legs. Believe it or not, these medical issues may be either reduced in intensity or avoided altogether by wearing various forms of maternity hosiery, like maternity support pantyhose and maternity body shapers.

Some of the most serious of the medical issues that may occur during pregnancy are edema, varicose veins, and leg cramps. There are also those women who experience simple leg pain that makes daily chores and activities more difficult. In instances of any of these medical conditions, maternity hosiery can benefit those women wearing them.

The reason women experience many of these leg conditions during the 40 weeks of pregnancy is poor circulation. Even perfectly healthy veins are already working hard to get blood back to the heart against the natural pull of gravity. When women are expecting, though, veins work much less effectively and efficiently due to the added weight of the baby and the expanding uterus. The use of various forms of maternity hosiery, like maternity support stockings and body shapers, may help the body achieve better leg circulation. With regular use, maternity support pantyhose will often diminish any symptoms caused by the numerous leg issues, sometimes alleviating the problems altogether.

During such an important period of woman life we offer some maternity models
which can help to prevent certain leg conditions. They can be used every day
to ease your condition and let you live more comfortably or to give your legs a
special look for a very special occasion. The model ‘Sophie’ by Elli Carezza is
very sheer with medium graduated compression and at the same time is very
relaxing. ‘Dolce Attesa’ 20 Den is suitable for winter and summer season. These
pantyhose are great if you don’t want any support or tightness, if you’d like to
feel free like you don’t have anything on your legs and on you belly.The model
is extremely light and provides relaxed feeling from top to bottom.

Not all maternity hosiery is exactly the same. Maternity support pantyhose come in a wide range of compression strengths, so a doctor’s guidance is required when choosing just which pair will be most effective. Something women may not be aware of is the fact that maternity hosiery has been recognized by the medical community as a form of treatment for these leg issues. If a doctor prescribes maternity support pantyhose, or “compression stockings”, during pregnancy, there are many insurance companies that will cover the cost. This is good news for those women who experience  leg conditions during their pregnancies, as maternity support stockings are much more expensive than traditional nylons.

Women do not have to suffer with the common leg ailments of pregnancy any more! Coupled with good nutrition, moderate exercise, and regularly scheduled prenatal care, the use of maternity hosiery is a tried and true method for the prevention and treatment of leg issues, like varicose veins, edema and leg cramps.

Pantyhose for Business – What To Wear

Women in the corporate world are often told that if they’re going on an interview or going to work, it’s often recommended that dark pantyhose are worn.  Has anyone ever asked why?  Business attire is usually boring, drab and gray for a reason.  Since you’re at work and not out at a singles bar, business clothing is designed to minimize physical attractiveness as much as possible.  Dark hose are said to take attention away from a woman’s legs by hiding them in the dark, namely dark blue or black

Even if you’re wearing business attire, that’s no reason to hide everything about yourself.  It’s supposed to be subdued, but wearing light-colored or nude-colored hosiery isn’t necessarily taboo.  If you feel like wearing it, feel free to do so!  Business attire is very restrictive in the first place, so the type of pantyhose you wear isn’t as big a deal as, say, the length of your skirt.  Try to mix things up by wearing light-colored pantyhose with dark colored suits, and dark-colored pantyhose with light colored suits.  This provides a nice contrast that lets you stand out, but not so much that you draw unnecessary attention to yourself.
