5 Unique Color Combinations To Give Your Look Pop

5 Unique Color Combinations To Give Your Look Pop

Blue and brown, pink and gray, black and white – there are some color combinations that are classics for a reason. While sticking with the classics means you never go wrong, there’s nothing wrong with getting a bit more adventurous with your color either. With spring on the horizon, there’s no better time to play around with a few color pairings that are a bit less conventional. 5 unique color combinations we’re loving are: 

  1. Lavender and lemon – Pastels are always the rage as the spring season starts, and one combination we can’t get enough of is lavender and lemon. While pinks and yellows, and purples and pinks, are seasonal classics, this is a spin that really gives your spring looks that perfect seasonal pop. Lemon is bright, warm, and sunny, while pale lavender has a certain dreamy coolness that brings the whole look into balance. 
  2. Purple and red – It doesn’t get more regal than mixing these two royal colors together. With a bright purple, accents of a deep ruby red stand out in a way that’s bold, confident, and strong. For jewel tone lovers, this ruby and amethyst pairing may be a new one worth trying for any season. 
  3. Blue and pink – There was no bigger color than pink in 2023, and the pink trend is rolling right into 2024 as well. Cheerful cornflower and sky-toned blues meshing with bubblegum or sandstone pinks give an ethereal quality to your look that doesn’t skimp on surprise. 
  4. Orange and green – If you want to go bold, it doesn’t get much bolder than pairing bright oranges with bright greens. One color combination we’re loving for 2024 is a fruit-inspired bright orange paired with shades of lime, turning your look into a summer day personified. 
  5. Neon yellow and blue – Bright shades are all the rage for 2024, but we understand if you don’t want to go quite as loud as the orange and green trend. Neon yellow paired with a deep navy or a denim blue is an excellent way to do something a little different without fear of becoming “too much”. 

At Hosieree.com we have every color of hosiery you’ll need to make your color combinations pop all year long. Our Amour HIP GLOSS – 20 Den Tights come in several on-trend unique colors perfect for mixing with your blues, your oranges, your purples, or any color you love.  If you’re looking for that next trendy look, see what we have in stock today. 

The Best Skirt For Every Body Type

A fun, flirty, cute skirt is one of the best ways to showcase your hosiery no matter the season. From a pop of color like our Trasparenze Microfiber SOPHIE 70 in more than a dozen fun colors, to a fun pattern like our Glamour Lia Fishnet Lace Tights to a classic like our Bellissima Unico 20 Classic Sheer Tights, the right skirt is going to serve as the perfect frame for your frame and your hose. For many, picking a great skirt can be a little overwhelming with so many options out there, and you’re going to want to pick the most flattering style. A few suggestions for every body type gives you a great place to start. If you’re looking for that perfect skirt, you may want to start with: 

  • Apple shapes – Apple shaped bodies often carry rounder curves around the middle of the body. To elongate the waist and give the legs a proportionate look, opt for a high-waisted skirt that hugs the smallest part of the waist with a hemline that hits just above the knee. 
  • Hourglass shapes – Hourglass shaped bodies typically have slimmer midsections with dramatic curves both above and below the waistline. For this shape, it’s easy to show off your curves with a simple pencil skirt. If you have longer legs, you can go a bit longer with the hemline going just below the knee. For those with shorter legs, finding a hemline just above or just at the knee can work to elongate the leg and provide a taller, slimmer look. 
  • Rectangle shapes – Rectangle shapes have a general straight silhouette from the waist down to the leg. If the wearer wishes to create curves, an A-line skirt makes easy work of building a curved silhouette in a fun and flirty way. For something a little sexier, a form-fitting midi skirt will curve silhouette lines as well. 
  • Pear shapes – Pear shapes have a silhouette with a bottom half that is just a bit wider than the upper half of the body. For these shapes, A-line skirts have a magic way of creating perfect balance. 
  • Inverted triangle shapes – With an inverted triangle shape, the shoulders will be wider than the hips, giving a silhouette like an inverted triangle. For these shapes, flared skirts are perfect. These can be mini, midi, or long, and they provide a ton of fun options for creating a multitude of different looks. 

It’s important to remember that anybody can wear any skirt, and that any skirt can be used to show off your favorite hose. However, having a place to start really gives confidence to those who maybe haven’t brought very many skirts into their wardrobe just yet. If you’ve found the perfect skirt and you’re just looking for the perfect pair of hose to go with it, we have something for everyone when you check out Hosieree.com!

The Art of Choosing the Right Pantyhose for Every Occasion

The Art of Choosing the Right Pantyhose for Every Occasion

Choosing the right pantyhose for every occasion involves considering a number of factors, like the formality of the occasion, your outfit, personal style, and comfort preferences. Here are some tips we feel will help you master the art of selecting the right pantyhose. 

Consider the Occasion

What is the occasion? Are you attending a formal event? For a more formal event like a wedding or even a business meeting, reach for some sheer or semi-sheer pantyhose in a neutral color like black, nude, or navy. Play around with patterns, colors, and different textures for a more casual or social event.

Match the Color

Choose a pantyhose color that complements the outfit and your skin tone. Select a shade that matches your skin tone more closely for a polished and classic look. Nude shades are a versatile option and blend seamlessly with most outfits. Black is a safe choice for formal events because it can create a sleek and more sophisticated look. 

Consider the Denier

The denier is the thickness of the pantyhose material. A lower denier indicates a sheerer and more delicate look. A higher denier provides more coverage and warmth. For summer or warm weather, you want lower-denier pantyhose of around 10-20. For colder weather, choose a higher denier, around 30-50. 

Choose the Right Size

Your pantyhose should fit comfortably to ensure comfort and a more flattering appearance. Choose a size based on your height and weight. If you find yourself between sizes, it is recommended that you size up for better comfort. 

Experiment With Textures and Patterns

Solid colors are extremely versatile, so play around with fun patterns and textures. Polka dots, herringbone, fishnet, or lace patterns add interest and personality to an outfit. When choosing patterns and textures, just be sure they complement the rest of the outfit and don’t overpower it. 

Choosing the right pantyhose for any occasion just comes down to your preferences and how comfortable you want to be at your event. You may also find yourself influenced by the latest fashion trends. Trust your instincts and select the pantyhose that makes you feel the most confident and stylish.
