Five Tights To Wear This Holiday Season

The holidays are almost here, and that means it is time to start planning your festive holiday wardrobe. One essential that every woman needs as part of their holiday outfit is hosiery. However, rather than simply getting a basic black or skin tone pair, why not add some dazzle to your outfit to really get into the spirit of the season? There are tons of great color and style options to go with any ensemble. Here are five tights that are ideal for your holiday outfit:

1. Nordic 150 Cotton Fashion Tights

Featuring the design of the coziest Christmas sweater you own, these Nordic style tights are an excellent choice. Layered with your favorite boots, they can be worn casually or dressed up with a pair of heels. The best part is that they are currently on sale!

2. Deco Fashion Opaque Tights With Metallic Effect

These bold maroon tights with gold floral detail are the perfect match for a party outfit. They are chic and elegant, and they reflect the season. They are a statement piece that can be worn with a plain dress yet simple enough to complement something a bit more over the top.

3. Veronica Lurex Tights

Sheer tights are elegant and go well with a formal outfit. These ones have a metallic shimmer that catches the light and creates a sparkling effect. They are good for formal occasions but flexible enough to be worn on a night out after the holidays.

4. Fiore Antonina Fashion Tights

With a metallic design down the side that looks like a holiday garland, these tights make a bold holiday statement. Available in grey and black, they are wonderful for just about any outfit. We recommend wearing them with shorts or minidresses.

5. Fiore Oriana Fashion Tights

Another great pair of embellished tights is the Fiore Oriana. This has a metallic floral pattern that resembles holiday ornaments. These tights are ideal for a holiday party ensemble, but they can also be layered for a more casual daytime look.

Those are just some of our favorite options for holiday tight looks. We have a wide variety of styles that will work with any outfit. Check out our selection of high-quality European hosiery at Hosieree.com. We are sure that with our great selection and pricing, you will find exactly what you want for the holidays.

10 Tips To Make Your Tights Last Longer

10 Tips To Make Your Tights Last Longer

Are you tired of buying new tights over and over again? Indeed, caring for tights is challenging because they are so fragile. However, it is possible to make them last longer if you know how to care for them properly (and that does not involve storing them in the freezer!).

Here are some tips to help you: 

    1.     Purchase tights that are larger than your original size. However, they should only be big enough that wearing them will not be stressful for you. If you have to keep pulling them up because they are too loose, there is a high chance that you will break the fibers. 

    2.     It is better to purchase opaque tights because they are more durable than sheer tights. The higher the denier content is, the stronger the fiber is.

    3.     Itis best to purchase tights with reinforced toes. 

    4.     You haveto invest in tights, which means you should spend more for quality and durability as much as possible.

    5.     Your nails and skin must be smooth before you put on your tights. 

    6.     Apply some lotion on your legs prior to wearing tights. However, make sure it has completely dried before you slip into a pair of hosiery. 

    7.     Sit down, get one leg of the tights, slide your toes in, and pull the leg over your heel and up your own leg. Do the same for the other leg.

    8.     When it comes to washing tights, make sure to turn them inside out. Place them in a mesh bag meant for delicates, but make sure no bras are included in the bag because the hooks could snag the tights. 

    9.     Wash tights on a delicate cycle with cool water. Keep in mind not to use softener. 

    10.   Never dry your tights in a dryer. Instead, line dry them. 

Those are just some of the things you can do to make your tights last longer. Doing so is important because tights are incredibly comfortable to wear and highly versatile, so you do not want to go without them. You can wear almost anything over them, which makes them a staple in a woman’s wardrobe. 

With these tips, you do not have to go through multiple tights every few months. It is essential for you to invest in quality tights from well-known brands, even if it means you have to pay a bit more. Trust us when we say that it is worth it. 

If you are looking for high-quality tights, you know where to go. Here at Hosieree.com, we have European tights that will last and make you look and feel good every day. Feel free to browse our products to find the one that is right for you.

How To Stylishly Pair Tights With Boots

How To Stylishly Pair Tights With Boots

Fall is finally here! We can pack up our summer sandals and get out our favorite pairs of boots. One of the easiest and most stylish ways to wear your fall boots is paired with a dress skirt, or shorts and a great pair of tights. Though it’s a great look, it can be a little tricky to pull off so you look your absolute best. However, with a few simple tips, you can make sure that your fall favorite is also flattering.

Booties

Booties are really an elegant footwear choice, so you want to make sure that your hosiery is equally as elegant. An easy way is to go with a pair of matte black tights. If you’re looking for a more eye-catching look, you can also pair them with a pair of matte colored tights like the Blues 70 Opaque Tights. Booties also look great with fishnet stockings and lace tights.

Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are a perfect option for fall. However, ankle boots can often make your legs look shorter and wider. However, if you pair ankle boots with a pair of tights, you can make your legs look leaner and longer. Choosing a monochromatic look will lengthen the look of your legs even further. For example, if you’re wearing black boots, choose black stockings. If you’re wearing brown boots, choose brown stockings.

Knee-Length Boots


Knee-length boots are a standard of fall fashion. Wearing knee-length boots with tights gives you a little more flexibility because you don’t have to be as concerned about staying warm. So you can wear some mesh tights like the Gabriella Inez Tights. Knee-high boots also cover most of the leg, so you can use this as an opportunity to add an easy splash of color or an interesting print without overdoing it.

Following these simple parameters will make sure that you always look incredible when you pair boots and tights. Hosieree.com offers the largest selection of European hosiery. We’ll help you find the perfect tights no matter your choice of footwear. Browse our collection and let us know if you have any questions.

How To Prevent Runs In Your Stockings

How To Prevent Runs In Your Stockings

There is nothing worse than stepping out in a great outfit only to discover that you have a run in your hosiery. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to ensure that you prevent getting runs in your tights. Here are our biggest tips to keep your tights looking great.

Invest In A Quality Pair

Pantyhose like anything else, comes in varying quality. The inexpensive pairs that you pick up at the drugstore are not made with quality in mind. Therefore they are going to rip and tear more easily than a higher quality European style pair. It’s not just brand quality that matters, you also want to look for pantyhose with design features that strengthen the hosiery. A great feature are reinforced toes and heels. These have an added layer of fabric that can prevent runs right at the most common sources. You also want to look for hosiery that have run–resistant technology. This is especially important if you are very active. Finally, make sure that you select the right size, if your hosiery is too tight, the thread tension will create a higher risk of runs.

Take Care When Putting On Your Tights

Oftentimes runs happen while putting on your pantyhose. Before putting on pantyhose, it’s always a good idea to moisturize your legs. It’s a lot easier to get hosiery on moisturized legs than dry legs. You also should let your lotion, oil, or body butter soak in, otherwise getting the hosiery on can be a little tricky. When putting a pair on, you want to always gently scrunch from the hip to the toe, then slowly work the stocking up the leg. Finally, take extra care when putting on shoes, clothing, and jewelry to make sure nothing catches on clasps, zippers, or textured fabrics.

Wash With Extra Care

Washing hosiery in the laundry cycle with the rest of your clothes can damage the fibers. It can also put them at risk of getting caught or pulled by the ornaments on your clothes like buttons or zippers. Instead, follow the care instructions on the packaging. If you don’t have the packaging still, we have a helpful guide on our blog you can read here.

All of these tips will help make sure that you’re never caught with a run again. If you do have a run though, we can help you fix them before they ruin the entire pair. At Hosieree.com we understand the importance of keeping your stockings free of runs. That is why we only stock the finest quality European tights. Available in every shape, color, and size you could ever need, our pantyhose will make sure your look is never ruined by a run again.

The Dos and Don’ts Of Putting Your Tights On

So you’ve bought a new pair of tights and you’re excited to put them on. Allow us to stop you there for a minute.

Even if you have the best European-made hosiery like the ones we offer at Hosieree.com, you still need to be more careful in handling them, especially if you’ve gone for tights with a lower denier like the Angel 15 Seamless Tights. The lower the denier, the more delicate the fabric will be.

If you want your tights to last longer, you need to take care of them properly. Here are the dos and don’ts to remember when you’re putting on your tights:

Dos:

  • Make sure your tights are the right size. Before even putting them on, make sure that the size you purchased will fit you properly. Hosieree.com has size charts for every pair of hose so you can pick the one that’s right for you.
  • Prevent snags on fingernails. Make sure your fingers are trimmed. You can even go further by using hand lotion to ensure that your fingers will not snag your legwear. The last thing you want to do is to accidentally rip your tights.
  • Treat your feet right. Good hosiery care starts with good foot care. Since your feet will come in contact with the material, make sure your toenails are not long or sharp by trimming them. Just like with your fingers, use a good-quality body lotion to make your feet soft. This will help avoid premature laddering.
  • Handle your tights with love. We know you’re excited about the newest addition to your wardrobe, but please take great care of your tights when you’re pulling them out of the packet. Be extra careful so those new tights of yours will last longer.

Don’ts:

  • Stop tugging. When removing the product from its package, remember to do so gently. Gather your tights from the top to the toe carefully. Don’t pull on the fabric too hard as the material might break and you might end up with runs and tears on your tights before even having the chance to wear them.
  • Do not ever rush. Whatever you do, do not rush putting on any kind of hosiery. We know you’re busy and you probably have a lot of things to attend to, but it’s important to take some time in putting on your tights. Smooth the fabric up to your leg as you go. Here’s a guide on how to do this the right way:
    • Pull the first leg up to the knee and then the second leg.
    • After doing so, work on each leg alternatively until you get to your panty.
    • Pull your tights up gently over your buttocks and stomach.
    • Leave enough room in the toe area.

We all know that hosiery doesn’t last forever, but we can try to preserve it to get the most out of them. You can only do this by taking good care of them. Care for your tights and other hosiery items as if you’re caring for your skin. You’ll be glad you did.

You can even go for a nude shade with the Light and Cool 8 Denier Sheer Tights for a bare leg look. These can be worn in the office or on formal evenings and occasions.

Opaque Tights

Cool and versatile, opaque tights give an extra touch of fun to your overall look. Some great colors to own include navy, black, brown, and solid grey as these pair well with any dress or skirt.

The key to wearing opaque tights is experimentation! Mix and match items until you get that perfect balance of colors in your outfit.

For more casual days, why not try adding a pop of color to your ensemble with Blues 70 Opaque Tights? As for more formal occasions, opt for black or solid grey tights and pair them with a smart jacket or a skirt.

Patterned Or Printed Tights

For a bolder and more playful look, you can’t go wrong with patterned tights to further accentuate the beauty of your legs.
