Fashion Forward and Functional: The Rise of Activewear Hosiery

Fashion Forward and Functional: The Rise of Activewear Hosiery

Activewear like active tights or leggings have definitely had a significant rise in popularity over recent years. This trend can be attributed to many factors, like the growing emphasis on health and fitness, the rise of athleisure fashion, and the advancements being made in fabric technology.

Let’s explore some of the key reasons behind the rise of activewear hosiery.

Fitness and Wellness Boom

With more people embracing active lifestyles and prioritizing fitness and wellness, there has been a surge in demand for comfortable and functional clothing pieces like leggings that support our many physical activities. Activewear hosiery allows for flexibility, control moisture, and compression features.

Athleisure Fashion Trend

The athleisure fashion trend has blurred the lines between traditional athletic wear and casual clothing. People now want versatile clothing that can be worn in the gym and for everyday fashion. Activewear hosiery fits this perfectly, and leggings and tights can be styled with various outfits that can be worn beyond the gym. You can pair leggings with tunics, dresses, or oversized tops.

Fabric Innovations

Technological advancements in fabric development have also played a crucial role in the rise of hosiery. Performance fabrics are now being used to make breathable and quick-drying tights that are soft to the touch, retain their original shape, and are made with 3D technology.

Body Positivity

The fashion industry has also significantly shifted towards embracing body positivity and inclusivity. Hosiery is now more forgiving and accommodating to various body types. This provides a sense of comfort and confidence for the wearer, no matter their shape or size.

Fashion-Forward Designs

Hosiery has also evolved from simple and plain leggings to more fashion-forward designs, patterns, and color options. Brands now offer a wide range of styles, from basic black leggings to bold, printed leggings and jeggings that cater to all tastes and preferences.

So, with the combination of fashion-forward designs, the increasing importance of health, and the influence of athleisure culture, we are seeing hosiery trends evolve. Don’t miss out. Shop our hosiery collection on hosieree.com today and find new pieces for your everyday wardrobe.

Complement Your Outfit

When you choose bold hosiery, think about the colors and patterns of the rest of your outfit. Choose hosiery colors that are complementary or contrast nicely with your clothes. This creates a balanced and eye-catching look.

Start With a Single Color

If you are new to color, start out slow. Start with single color options like red, blue, green, or purple. These are pretty versatile color choices and can be paired nicely with different outfits that make a statement.

Experiment With Patterns

In addition to bold color choices, don’t be afraid to experiment with patterns. Explore hosiery with polka dots, stripes, geometric shapes, or even floral designs. These patterns add an extra layer of interest and playfulness to your ensemble.

Consider Your Skin Tone

Bold colors look good on all kinds of skin tones; however, certain shades may complement your particular skin tone more. For example, if you have fair skin, jewel tones like emerald or sapphire will look stunning. For darker skin, try a more vibrant color like fuschia or turquoise.

Dress Up or Down

Bold and vibrant hosiery can be used in both formal and casual outfits. Choose a darker, richer color like burgundy or deep navy for a more professional setting. For a more playful appeal, go for neon or pastel shades.

Play Around With Texture

Experiment with different hosiery textures like fishnet, lace, or sheer fabrics. They can add depth and uniqueness to your look and style overall.

Don’t Forget Your Footwear

Finally, consider the shoes you are going to wear with your hosiery. Sandals can showcase your colorful hosiery in a fun way, while closed-toe shoes can help create a subtle peek of color.

The Right Denier For Every Season 

Hosiery is far from a one or two season apparel necessity. It’s not a coat, it’s not a pair of shorts; hosiery is the garment that elevates your look whether it’s the middle of July or you’re headed to a holiday party for the New Year. At Hosieree.com we want to break down how you shop for hosiery for each season, and what you want to look for to find those perfect any-occasion hose. 

The most important characteristic to look for in hosiery for a particular season is the denier. Denier, or den, refers to the thickness of a piece of hosiery. A pair of hose with a lower denier will be thinner, more sheer, and more breathable. Hosiery with a higher denier will be stronger, opaque, thicker, and cozy. You also have deniers in between. The deniers to look for to keep you comfortable and fashionable for each season are: 

• Summer – In summer you’re going to want to look for the lowest deniers, or the most sheer hose. This hosiery will smooth out the look of the leg, give you a perfected silhouette, and keep you cool all at the same time. The Breeze Summer Pantyhose by Cecilia De Rafael comes in 6 neutral skin tones and features an ultra-sheer 8 denier for perfectly breezy summer days or nights. 

• Fall – During the fall season that telltale chill begins to set in, and you’re going to want hosiery that gives you a bit of protection not offered by your low-denier summer favorites. Finding hosiery with a denier of about 20 to 40, depending on the weather in your location, is perfect for warding off any chilly evenings while still keeping you breathable and comfortable. The Amour HIP LACE 30-Den Tights feature an ideal 30 denier to go with all your fall wardrobe favorites. 

• Winter – Winter weather can be brutal, and you want hosiery strong enough to hold up to its icy winds. For winter hosiery, you’re going to want to look for the highest deniers, especially if you’re in a location that has particularly chilly weather. The cozy and opaque Fiore Roza 60 Den Opaque Tights are soft, versatile, and sturdy for most winter weather locations, while those in particularly chilly areas may want to opt for the exceptionally protective Cette LIMA Cashmere Wool Tights with an impressive 150 den. 

• Spring – With the sun making its return, and with it warmer weather, it’s all about going back to sheer for the spring. After braving a cold winter, the same temperatures that felt cool and crisp in the fall will likely feel much warmer in the spring, so you’re going to want to look for a denier just a little bit lower than your fall tights to keep you most comfortable. The Bellissima Unico 20 Classic Sheer Tights feature a spring season perfect 20 denier.

Avoid Holes In Your High End European Hosiery 

You invest in high-end European hosiery because it looks chicer, it’s more comfortable, and it’s made to last. However, what happens when you find a hole? Even the highest quality hosiery isn’t completely indestructible but taking care to pay attention to a few things can help you to avoid more holes popping up in the future. Some simple ways you can avoid damaging your hosiery are: 

  • File and smooth – One of the most common causes of an unexpected run or hole in your hosiery isn’t what you’re wearing, and it isn’t what you’re doing – it could be what you’re not doing instead. When you put on your hose to find a surprise run or hole, check your fingernails. Even the smallest crack, chip, or jagged bit of nail can catch on your hosiery as you’re pulling them on, tearing at the fabric and causing a small run that will only grow throughout the day. Before putting on any hosiery, quickly run a nail file over the free edges of your nails to make sure you’re not going to unknowingly damage your hose. 
  • Reinforced toes make a difference – One of the most common places to find a hole in your hosiery is at the toe. These can develop due to your choice of footwear, or simply due to how your foot rubs inside of any shoe as you walk. One way to combat this is to invest in hosiery with a reinforced toe, like our Amour HIP GLOSS 20-Den Tights. 
  • Consider your denier – When it comes to hosiery, denier matters. You’re more likely to find a hole or a run in your sheerest hosiery, simply because this hosiery features a lower denier. Thicker pieces with a higher denier tend to be sturdier, and they can stand up to a bit more because of it. If you’re wearing sheer hosiery with a denier of around 20 or below, take care to pay attention to where you’re sitting, what your legs may be rubbing up against, and what activities you’re partaking in while wearing your hose. 

At Hosieree.com our hosiery is built to last, and we feature all deniers for all looks or seasons. To see what we have in store, pay us a visit at Hosieree.com today.
