Grab The Hottest Spring Colors From Hosieree

Grab The Hottest Spring Colors From Hosieree

After the last few years of uniformity and neutrals leading the trend cycle, color has made a triumphant return. Designers on runways from Paris to London to New York have all debuted bright, eye-catching colors for Spring. Here are some of the biggest color trends this season and our favorite hosiery recommendations to add these trendy pops of color to your look.

1. Brilliant Blues

From Robin’s egg to azure to cobalt, bright blues have been everywhere this season. The key to mastering this trend is to choose an unconventional blue color rather than more popular, common fashion tones like navy and light blue. Here are some tights to consider for this look:

● Giulia SAMBA 40 Tights In Deep Blue

● Cecilia De Rafael UPPSALA Wet Looking Tights in Zaffiro

● Franco Bombana Silk Opaque Sheen Tights in Marte

2. Lavender

Lavender is a soft, pastel that is perfect for spring. What we love about lavender is that it makes a great neutral because it pairs beautifully with every color. To add this must-have color for Spring, here are some options:

● Girardi CORTINA 40-Semi-Opaque Tights in Lilla 

● Girardi Brigitte – 15 Denier Pantyhose in Glicine

● Trasparenze AMBRA Fishnet Tights in Lilla

3. Pastel Pink

Pastel pink, like all pastels, is an essential Spring fashion color. This season though, it is the main character. Soft and pretty, pastel pink can turn any outfit into a Springtime statement. We love it as a layering essential. Here are some pastel pink options you’ll love: 

● Trasparenze MONIQUE Cotton Socks in Rosa

● Girardi CORTINA 40- Semi-Opaque Tights in Bright Colors in Petalo

● MissO P101 Open Crotch Pantyhose in Light Pink

4. Blood Orange

Bold blood orange is often thought of as a summer color. However, in the South, Spring kicks off with the citrus season. This unexpectedly stunning color looks incredible on every skin tone and is a great way to make an impact on your style. If you love bold colors, try these blood orange options:

● Giulia SAMBA 40 Tights in Aurora Red

● Cette SEAMLESS 15 Matte Seamless Pantyhose in Lava Lamp

● Hosieree Classic Opaque Tights Freedom in Abricot

5. Acid Lime

Quite possibly the boldest of the color statements you can make this year, acid lime is perfect for spring. It’s the perfect way to update the utility, neutral fits that have been dominating the trend cycle. Adding a splash of lime will not just keep you on trend, it will help you stand out. Here are some tights that are perfect for adding a splash:

● Cecilia De Rafael SEVILLA Ultra Sheer 3D Pantyhose in Lime

● Fiore COTTON CANDY 8 Den Ultra Sheer Pantyhose in Lime

● Cecilia De Rafael Sevilla LIBERO Seamless Glossy Pantyhose in Lima

Adding these trends with hosiery is the perfect way to test them out without spending a lot of money. Getting them from Hosieree will ensure that you look polished and expensive. At Hosieree, we offer the highest quality European hosiery at great prices. Our hosiery will last a lifetime while helping you stay ahead of the latest trends.

Why Sheer Tights Are Taking Over the Fashion World

If you are like many of us, you love shopping your own closet on occasion to see what you can mix and match for new looks in your wardrobe. If there are pieces you may have forgotten about or haven’t been able to use, now is the time to repurpose them and lay out your staples in new ways that will appear anything but basic.

In addition to the pantless look going viral this year, it is also time to explore the world of sheer tights and how they can take your wardrobe to the next level. So, if you have sheer tights in your closet but aren’t sure how to style them, you have stumbled into the right place.

All About Transparency

Sheer tights are all about transparency. You don’t want to find anything that is too matte. Something with 10 denier is a good place to be, but you also shouldn’t be opposed to looking into some thicker styles for different looks as well as something with prints and patterns that offer more coverage.

Shorter Hemlines

The best way to style your classic sheer tights is with a shorter hemline and heels. Flats are a good choice overall, but if you want a more stylish party look and more flair, then heels with your sheer tights are definitely the way to go. You want to let your legs do all the talking. Polka dot tights go well with muted colors like a naturally colored coat or a white dress.

Different Patterns

When styling with sheer tights, don’t be afraid to play around with different patterns like the Adrian Constance Fashion Sheers. They are both fun and feminine and can add a great touch to your outfit. 

Always Invest in Quality

As you can see, sheer tights are the next big thing in fashion this year because they are versatile and can be styled in many different ways. However, when choosing your sheer tights, you want to be sure to invest in only quality pieces. 

Shop hosieree.com for the best in sheer tights and other high-quality hosiery staples you can add to your wardrobe.

Colorful Tights You Can Wear for Spring 2023

Stylists and fashion experts alike are making a strong case in favor of colorful tights in your spring wardrobe. The days of winter and layer upon layer are soon to pass. While we love being cozy and comfy, it is time to make more of a statement as the warmer weather creeps in, along with the bright colors and florals of our spring wardrobes.

Wearing Vibrant Colors More Tastefully

If your mind immediately travels back in time to the 80s and rainbow lollipop stripes and mismatched and bold colors, then it is time for some reconditioning. Instead, picture the potential vibrant colors like electric blues, rich purples, and vibrant pink shades have for your wardrobe. 

It isn’t just about all the bright colors when working with this new, colorful aesthetic. It is also important to strike some balance. You can accomplish this by pairing your bold and bright colors with pastel and white pieces. 

Matching Colors

Another way to wear color this spring is by layering matching colors, like a red blazer with bold red tights for an all-red look. This is also a great opportunity to mix textures and fabrics too or play around with red tights, but different patterns for an even more stylish aesthetic pulled straight from the runway.

Mixing Colors

And that brings us to also playing around with different colors. A bold combination we think we will see a lot this spring is hot pink and bold red shades. You can also mix pastels with purples and bold blues with softer baby blues. 

Your Favorite Shade

Remember, the bolder, the better, so don’t be afraid to show off your favorite shades. You can wear vibrant tights with an all-black look or a dress with a bold pattern and tights in the brightest color in that pattern. 

Coordinate With Your Footwear

Have a pair of statement boots with color? Pick out your favorite shade of color from the boots and find a matching set of tights in that same color. Matching your hosiery to your outfit and footwear can be fun and stunning. 

Don’t have the right colored tights in your wardrobe to pull off this bright aesthetic? Head on over to hosieree.com and shop our extensive selection of tights in whatever colors you can imagine.

4 Tips for Styling Stockings and Tights as Pants

Not sure if a high-quality pair of stockings or tights can replace your denim or slacks? If they are opaque enough, you can easily replace your regular pants with a pair of stockings or tights, especially if you know a few tips on how to style them.

The stockings as pants trend started back when Kendall Jenner stepped outside in Los Angeles wearing her Bottega Veneta leotard and a navy sweater with sheer pantyhose. This viral look showed the fashion industry’s love for this trend in 2023. 

During Couture week, we also saw bodysuits being paired with stockings and underwear as outfits with oversized blazers. 

1. Start Small

For a beginner just dipping their toes into this now viral fashion trend, you might want to start out small with an oversized blazer layered on top of a leotard. Not only does this give you the pantless style you want, but it also offers a good amount of coverage, not to mention comfort.

2. Practice Makes Perfect

While it is a viral trend in the fashion world and undoubtedly on TikTok, it will still turn a few heads and incite a few confused expressions. Some might think you simply forgot to put pants on, while others might think you are just trying to pass off an oversized blazer as a dress in public.

Well, this is what we have to say about all that—practice makes perfect. Start by wearing your pantless outfit around the home for a few days to get used to the ensemble’s style and feel. This also gives you the opportunity to build up the confidence you need when you finally decide to step outdoors.

3. Show Off the Confidence

Once you realize you are pulling off a high-quality hosiery look, you will have the confidence to rock it in public. This style was popular back in the 60s when fashion norms were pushed, and traditional expectations were tossed out the window. 

4. Find Alternatives

Not ready to try out the pantless style we have described above? No worries. You can take your stockings and tights out on a test run with a bit more coverage. You can wear them with shorts if you want something edgy without pushing too many boundaries. Find a more formal style short, perhaps in leather, and add your black tights or stockings and a great pair of boots. 

Gabriella Leggings Everyday offers a bit more coverage than other stocking or tight options and can also be the perfect introduction to ditching jeans and slacks. 

Above all, this trend starts with a good pair of stockings or tights. Ready to shop a vast selection to find something perfect to add to your wardrobe? Shop our selection at hosieree.com.

How To Get The Trickiest Stains Out Of Your Hosiery 

1 Comment

High end hosiery is an investment, so it makes sense that you’d want to keep it protected. Mistakes happen, but that doesn’t mean your hosiery is ruined. We want to take a look at some of the most common spills and stains, and how to get them out of your hosiery without ruining your favorites: 

• Ketchup or coffee – You’re having lunch or drinking your morning cup, and the next thing you know, you’ve got a stain on your hose. Heavily coating the stain in peroxide can help to lift it out of the fabric of your hosiery without compromising the look and quality. 

• Red wine – Spilling on yourself during a date night doesn’t have to ruin the evening. Saturate the stain in a bit of club soda and allow the fizzy bubbles to lift the red wine pigment out of your hosiery. 

• Cosmetics like lip balm or lotion – Lip balm and lotion can leave greasy stains on your clothing, including your hosiery. If you have a cosmetic mishap with an oil-based product, a bit of flour and salt sprinkled onto the stain can help to cut the stain. Be careful not to rub, as the coarse nature of the salt can damage hosiery when friction comes into play. 

• Lipstick – Lipstick is a bit different than lip balm, as you’re talking pigment alongside the oily nature of the product. With lipstick stains, gently dabbing with a baby wipe can help to lighten or completely eliminate the stain. 

Preserving your hosiery can be easier than you think, and having a spill or smudge accident doesn’t mean your favorite hosiery is ruined. With a few products on hand, you can keep your pieces looking beautiful through just about anything! For your next favorite pair, see what we have for you at Hosieree.com today.

Go Bold And Always Hit The Mark

Go Bold And Always Hit The Mark

Bold is fun, bold is whimsical, bold is exciting – but it can also be pretty intimidating! A great bold pair of tights is a great way to insert a little excitement into your look, but if you’re feeling apprehensive, you’re definitely not alone. At Hosieree.com we want to give you a few fun ideas to play with so you can enjoy all of the bright things the bold look has to offer! 

Bold hosiery offers itself well to the maximalist trend, so that’s a great place to start if you’re looking to embrace more eccentric and free-spirited styles. Take one color from one of your bright and bold patterns, and use that color as your focal point for your tights and your footwear. For instance, a floral pattern jacket or blouse with bright red roses really pops when you pair it with our Cecilia De Rafael Sevilla Libero Seamless Glossy Pantyhose in red, and now you have a great maximalist foundation to start with. Build from there with your accessories, your footwear, and a whimsical bag for a look that’s right out of a fairytale. 

Like maximalism, bold tights are a natural fit with retro styles. Mod pops and groovy looks reminiscent of the 60s and 70s have never gone out of style, and your bold tones and hosiery fit right in. Opaque bold colored tights even make it easier to wear those short hemlines so popular with those looks, giving you some much needed coverage to make up for what a skirt or a pair of ultra-short shorts might lack. The Giulia Samba 40 Tights come in a wide array of different pop colors and their ultra-opaque nature is perfect for authentic retro fashion. Feeling a little nervous to break out the color? Stick with neutral colors in your vintage inspired outfit and let your tights do the talking! 

Monochrome looks are a perfect fit for bold hosiery, and monochrome really lets you get bold without getting too busy. For those who want to bring more pops of bright color to the office, this is the way to go. A deep green skirt and blazer looks polished with matching colored tights like the Giulia Blues 70 Opaque Tights in deep green, letting you still go bold but keeping it a little more muted to remain office-friendly. 

At Hosieree.com we want you to feel not just comfortable in bold looks, but to embrace all of the fun they have to offer. To find your next favorite bold pair of hose, see what we have at Hosieree.com today.

5 Tips For Mastering The Fishnet Trend 

5 Tips For Mastering The Fishnet Trend

Fishnets are synonymous with 80s and 90s alt-rocker style, even if they’re really so much more versatile than just that. With all things old becoming new again, we’re seeing a huge fishnet resurgence that we just can’t get enough of. 5 tips for mastering the fishnet trend in 2023 are: 

1. Customize with your pattern – Fishnets are far from a “one size fits all” style. There’s larger patterns, smaller patterns, even those with a bit of sparkle like our Adrian Sparkle Fishnet Tights. If you’re going with a classic grunge chic look, a classic medium sized fishnet like the Fiore Passion Fishnet Suspender Tights will never let you down. It creates the perfect pattern to peek out from and contrast with ripped denim. Want to dress it up? Break out those sparkle fishnets instead. 

2. Layer up if you’re going with a mini skirt – Fishnets with a mini skirt is a classic combination, but pairing it well without losing balance can get a little tricky. Fishnets really draw the eye to the legs and they show quite a bit of skin, so keep layered up on top. If you plan to wear fishnets with a anything mini, like skirt or tailored shorts, go with a higher collar, a blazer or jacket, or a loose menswear inspired blouse. You want your legs to shine, and this draws the eye right where you want it to be. 

3. Let it pop up top – Crop tops are back in style in a huge way, and this lets you show off your fishnets a little differently. Rather than bringing attention to your legs, pair your fishnets with lower waist jeans and let them show off your midsection instead. Wide and high waisted fishnets like our Trasparenze Edera Wide Fishnet Tights can be pulled up above your belt line, giving you a little pop of texture and edge between your jeans and the hem of your crop top. 

4. Fine fishnets are office-friendly – If you think you can’t wear fishnets to the office, think again. While the wide edgy fishnets might not be the top choice for workwear, finer fishnets are perfect. It’s classic, it’s chic, and it’s a look that can be dressed up or down if you plan on going out after-hours. 

5. Fishnet socks are made for booties – Pairing booties with a skirt is a classic combo, but you can sprinkle the look with easy edge just by pairing fishnet socks with the look. Fishnet socks that go to the ankle or knee, like the Intimidea Attraction Rete Fishnet Knee Highs with ankle boots let you get a little taste of the fishnet style without going all the way if you don’t want to. 

Fishnets are a must in any hosiery wardrobe, and we have all the styles you need to embrace each and every look. Find your next fishnets now at Hosieree.com!

5 Styling Tips To Elongate Your Legs 

5 Styling Tips To Elongate Your Legs

Long legs have a way of giving any look an air of grace, but unfortunately, we’re not all born with them! With the right outfit and the right hosiery, faking it is no problem. 5 styling tips to elongate your legs instantaneously are: 

1. High waisted pants do the trick – For short legs and a long waist, flipping the script is as simple as a pair of high waisted pants. It shortens the waist while lengthening the legs, and when paired with a heel it gives that perfect willowy look. To bring it into the 90’s resurgence trend that’s so huge right now, pair some ripped high waisted and relaxed fit jeans with a peekaboo of fishnet tights underneath. 

2. Match your shoes with your hosiery – If you’re wearing a skirt and hosiery, but you’re not trying to go for a patterned hosiery look, there’s a simple way to elongate the leg. Pairing the color of your shoes with your hosiery gives your legs serious length. If you’re wearing nude hose, pair with a nude shoe. If you’re going big and bold with colored tights, let your shoes continue the color pop. 

3. Wear wedges or heels – One of the classic ways to give yourself a taller, longer, and leaner look is to pair your outfit with wedges or heels. For those with open toes, toeless hosiery like the Calzitaly Toeless Sheer Pantyhose with Cooling Effect lets you show off your pedicure in a stunning pair of heels without your hosiery getting in the way.  

4. Never underestimate the power of vertical lines and patterns – Patterns can be your best friend when it comes to elongating. While a horizontal stripe might not do you many favors, vertical lines certainly will. Hosiery with vertical designs like the Gabriella CORE Thigh High Stockings with a cute vertical heart pattern going down the side of each leg draw the eye up and down, giving you immediate length. 

5. Celebrate slits – A slit in a skirt or a pair of pants works much in the same way as vertical patterns. It draws the eye upward, bringing length to your look without much effort. An additional benefit of a slit? It gives a great peekaboo to highlight the hosiery you have on underneath. 

Longer and leaner can be just one simple wardrobe hack away. For the hosiery that gives you the graceful length you’re looking for, see what we have in store at Hosieree.com today.

DIY Hosiery Stain Removal Guide

DIY Hosiery Stain Removal Guide

Hosiery is made with thinner, more delicate fibers than other clothing like jeans or sweaters. So when it comes to the care of hosiery, it’s really important to exercise extra care. When your hosiery becomes stained, scrubbing too hard or using harsh chemical stain removers can degrade and hurt the fibers. To protect your hosiery from damage, it’s important to understand how to wash them and remove stains. Here is our guide to DIY hosiery stain removal.

Wash Your Hosiery

Start by filling a large bowl with warm water. Add the recommended amount of a gentle detergent. We recommend a hosiery-specific wash like Ames Walker. It’s best to wear gloves but if you don’t, remove any jewelry from your hands. You don’t want it catching and tearing. Place your hosiery in the bowl. Use your hands to gently wash the legs, waistband, and feet. While washing, inspect the hosiery for any stains. If you notice any stains that are not lifting, you will need to apply a stain removal solution.

Stain Removal Solutions For Your Hosiery

Depending on the type of stain you will need to add a capful of the following solutions to your bowl: 

● Hydrogen Peroxide: Coffee, blood, fruit, and vegetable stains

● Club Soda: Red wine, grease, and mud

● White Vinegar: Grass, lotion, and sweat

● Isopropyl Alcohol: Ink, makeup, and paint

Let the solution sit to lift the stain. If needed, you can guide it along by gently scrubbing it with a paper towel. You want to use paper towels because they have weaker fibers than your hosiery. So if you accidentally scrub the stain too hard, the paper towel will pile and tear and not your hosiery.

Properly Drying Your Hosiery

Once the stain has lifted, lay out a large towel on a flat surface. Remove the hosiery from the bowl. You then will gently squeeze the hosiery to wring out any excess water. Once you are done, you will lay the hosiery out on the towel. Air dry your tights. Then fold and put away.

Using these washing and stain removal techniques will protect your hosiery from damage during the wash. It will also lift any of the common stains that can occur when wearing them. The best way to keep your hosiery looking great is to invest in quality hosiery from the start. At Hoiseree.com, we offer the finest quality European hosiery. With proper care, our hosiery will last you a lifetime.
