How to Keep Your Delicates in the Best Condition

Stockings, pantyhose, and other hosiery are considered delicates and should be taken care of as such. If you want to learn how to keep your stockings looking pristine, then read on for some helpful tips and tricks to keep in mind on laundry day.

Wash Only When Necessary

It is recommended that you handwash your hosiery in cold water and wash only when necessary. Typically, hosiery should be cleaned after every five to six wears to eliminate body oil or dead skin cells that may have settled. 

If you have to wash your hosiery in a washing machine, it should be done on the delicate setting in cold water and preferably in a mesh garment bag instead of just tossed into the washing machine.

Avoid High Heat

Avoid high heat at all costs. Heat and hot water can reduce the overall elasticity of tights. This can lead to sagginess, and you will quickly find that the fit of your hosiery is less than ideal. 

A cold wash can help protect the texture of your tights and other hosiery items while also protecting the color. When dried with high heat, your hosiery can also shrink. After washing, hang everything to dry. 

Avoid using a clothesline when drying your hosiery as well. You risk snags and tears when placing hosiery on a line like this. The line can also cause dents and stretch out your hosiery, resulting in a poor and loose fit. 

No Harsh Detergents

Harsh detergents, excessive washing, and fabric softeners can actually wear out the fibers of your hosiery and can damage them. Choose a very delicate liquid laundry detergent when handwashing your hosiery. 

You can also fill a bucket with cool water and add a few drops of baby shampoo to the water before washing your hosiery. 

Washing Your Hosiery 

When handwashing your hosiery, allow everything to soak in the cool water and mild soap for approximately ten minutes. Give the garments one final massage in the water and soap, and then rinse everything under cold water. Lay everything out flat for drying.

If you follow these handwashing and washing machine tips, you will find that you can keep your delicates in the best condition for longer. \\\

How to Wear Nude Tights

How to Wear Nude Tights

If you are building up your wardrobe ahead of the spring and summer seasons, then you are most likely on the hunt for a good pair of nude tights. They are a great accessory for summer weddings and any other events you plan to attend. 

Nude tights don’t always have the best reputation and aren’t used as often as they should be. They are a very understated garment tossed to the side and replaced with a quick fake tan and last-minute shave jobs.

Why Nude Tights?

Since nude tights don’t typically have seams, they will not sag and will not show through your clothing. They are also softer than pantyhose, and many have a more adaptive and flexible waistband, allowing for a much more comfortable fit. Your nude tights will move with you and not cut into you or become uncomfortable during longer wear times.

Good for Invisibility and Creating a Strong Foundation

A good pair of nude tights should appear almost invisible, so you want to find a shade that matches your skin tone. This is why many people purchase nude tights in the first place. Your nude tights should be like your second skin. 

Nude tights provide you with a strong foundation on which you can build the rest of your outfit, whether you choose to wear a dress, shorts, or skirt. 

How to Wear Nude Tights

Again, nude tights are meant to be invisible. You are trying to create the illusion that you aren’t wearing any tights at all. They make your legs appear flawless, cover up skin imperfections, and can even be a quick fix if you don’t have time to shave before leaving the house. 

Nude tights aren’t meant to draw unwanted attention to yourself or the outfit you have chosen to wear. They are an appropriate option for a business meeting or office setting. When choosing your nude tights, go for a matte option and try to match your skin color as much as possible. 

For a more professional appearance, avoid shiny nude tights. This will not be low-key and will only accomplish the opposite.

With these tips and information, you will be well on your way to securing the best wardrobe for all occasions. Nude tights are a basic staple that every closet should have for any season.

Three Tight Features To Help You Always Look Snatched

Three Tight Features To Help You Always Look Snatched

When choosing tights, there are a lot of options for control and support. These can help make your body look its absolute best. There are a lot of these features, so we thought we’d do a round-up of our three favorites. These tight features will help you show off your body and look snatched. Let’s go!

1. Booty Lifting

Booty lifting tights have support around the top of the thighs. This helps lift your booty slightly, adding just the perfect amount of curve. This feature can be found on Calzitaly Bodysculpt Push Up Tights and the Cecilia De Rafael Panty Bra – Lift Up and Modeling Pantyhose. These are great if you are wearing a body con dress or a tight skirt, shorts, or trousers. 

2. Tummy Shaping

Tummy-shaping tights are a must for any wardrobe. They don’t just help achieve an hourglass shape, they can really help with stomach issues that benefit from light compression. Two great options for tummy shaping include Fiore Fit Control 40 Tights and the Glamour Positive Press 70 Control Top Pantyhose. We love these options because they both offer breathability for everyday wear with any outfit.

3. Leg Slimming

Leg slimming is a great way to make your legs look not only slimmer but to elongate them. Leg slimming tights are also great if you’ve recently lost weight or just need a little compression on your legs. We like the Pompea Taglia 100 Slimming Opaque Tights which offer overall slimming and the Pretty Polly Gloss Secret Slimmer Tights. If you’re worried about cellulite, we also recommend the Pompea Snellente 40 Slimming Tights With Anticellulite Treatment. These are perfect for skirts, shorts, short dresses, and even under trousers.

These three hosiery features are perfect for highlighting your favorite parts of your body. Hosieree.com carries a wide range of hosiery that can help you look and feel your best. Whether you are looking for support, shaping, or style, you’ll always look snatched.

Spring Cleaning? Here Are Some Expert Tips To Organize Your Hosiery

Spring Cleaning? Here Are Some Expert Tips To Organize Your Hosiery

Spring is finally here and that means it’s time to give our homes a deep clean. One of the best ways to get your house in order is by getting organized. Our tights can often get out of control because they don’t have any obvious place to be stored. To help with your Spring cleaning efforts, we thought we’d share some of our favorite ways to organize tights.

Why Organizing Your Tights Is Important

Organizing your tights will help you find them when you are getting ready. However, organizing your tights is also important to make sure they are well-cared for and last. High-quality European tights like those sold at Hosiereee.com will last a lifetime if you care for them properly. Organizing them will make sure they don’t accidentally get any snags or runs. It will also help prevent the fibers from degrading. 

Tips For Organizing Your Hosiery

Start by pulling out all of your tights into one area. Then one by one try them on to make sure they still fit. If any do not fit, you can donate or store them for the future. Look for any snags, holes, or runs. If they have not ruined the tights, take this time to repair any issues you found. Next, start sorting your tights. You can sort them by color, opacity, or even into day and night tights. Next, you will begin to store them. Make sure that whatever storage method you use, you leave extra space for new additions. There are a couple of ways we would recommend depending on your space:

● The Best Option: Bag your hosiery individually you can use soft fabric bags, sandwich bags, or invest in high-quality hosiery bags. Then store them in a dresser drawer

● You can also either roll or gently tie them and place them into a drawer organizer with slots.

● You can hang them with a scarf or tie organizer in your closet. 

Finally, set up an area to put your worn tights for the wash. Tights get very damaged in the wash as they can tangle with other clothes. Ultra-sheer tights can snag on zippers and buttons, while opaque tights can rub against other fabrics and start piling. Setting them aside for hand washing or machine washing in a lingerie bag helps protect them. It will also save you sorting time on laundry day. If you are storing them in a dresser drawer, you can add a laundry bag to that drawer to make it super easy. 

Organizing your tights will keep them protected. Investing in European quality tights from Hosieree.com will ensure they last for years to come. Happy Spring Cleaning!

How to Buy the Right Hosiery for Your Body Type

Tights, stockings, and thigh highs are all great to have in your wardrobe, but how do you know you are purchasing the right hosiery for your body type? Today, we are here to help you find what will flatter you the best.

For Taller Women

If you are a taller woman, you probably already know how uncomfortable it can be to wear tights that are just too small. In addition to the discomfort, you also have to contend with possible tears and ladders because the fibers of the tights are being stretched out. 

If you have longer legs, find hosiery in a larger size. Check the size charts. They are usually based on a woman’s height and weight. This can also help narrow things down. If you think you are at the upper end of the size range, opt for the size up for a more secure and comfortable fit.

For Shorter Women

If you are on the shorter side and wear tights or other hosiery that is too long, you will find that they fall down constantly. There may also be rolls because they are too big and can bunch up at the knees or ankles. If you are a shorter woman, find a shorter fit in a smaller size, especially when you wear patterned or netted tights.  

For Large Thighs

If your hosiery is too tight on the thighs, then it can dig in and possibly tear. Stockings that don’t fit right can also prove to be incredibly unflattering and can roll down the leg. When choosing hosiery for large thighs, consider what will provide you with all-day comfort. Consider your thigh circumference and find the appropriate size, avoiding chafe and wardrobe disasters.

For Rounder Tummies

Sometimes the sizing can be weird if you have thinner legs but a rounder tummy. It can be hard to find something that will fit appropriately while also flattering your body type. In this case, choose hosiery with deep waistbands and flat seams or no seams at all. This will cut down on any digging and allow you to achieve a much smoother silhouette.

For Wider Hips

If you have wider hips, you may feel much more comfortable finding hosiery with a tad more waist and hip room. You may even want to search for higher quality materials for your hosiery because these can offer you a greater and more accommodating stretch.

4 Things You Should Look For When Buying Hosiery

When going shopping for new hosiery pieces, you should be very meticulous and know what things to check to make sure that you are making the right decisions. Remember that your hosiery will and should be around for a long time, so you can fully enjoy wearing them with no regrets. If you are planning to get new pairs and pieces, here are 4 things you should look for.

  • Quality – The most important thing to check is the quality of the item, and you can check this by carefully observing and finding out what materials are used. Is it made of cotton? Is there lace? Are there any seams and loose threads that you should watch out for? These can tell you a lot about the brand and the quality of the hosiery they are producing, and from here you can determine whether or not you should go for it. 
  • Size – Hosiery comes in different sizes, whether they are stockings, leggings, or tights. Even though many hosieries are stretchable and supported by garters and stoppers, this does not mean that they can fit any body type and size. If you do not want to feel any discomfort and if you desire for your new hosiery to last long, knowing and getting the right size is a smart move.
  • Color – Nowadays, we have more in store for you than just black and nude palettes. In fact, Hosieree has got a lot of unique pieces like the cute Platino Ultra Opaque Tights. It is very different from the usual plain blacks but you cannot deny that it stands out among the others. Just like your shirts and other clothes, the color of your hosiery can convey your feelings and mood, and make a statement.
  • Purpose – Hosieries not only have different designs, but they also have their own specialties that fit a specific purpose. Are you buying stockings for office use or for partying? Are those leggings for casual trips or for working out? What you are planning to do while wearing your chosen hosiery is also very important.
