How Is Hosiery Made?

How Is Hosiery Made?

Hosiery is a wardrobe staple, and at Hosieree.com, we have all the staples you need to make your wardrobe complete. However, have you ever wondered what goes into that favorite pair of hose? You might know your hosiery is of high quality, made in Europe, has features like tummy control or smoothing properties, and make your legs look fantastic, but what else is there to know? We want to dive a little bit into how hosiery is made and just how special those favorite pieces of yours are.

Generally, a pair of pantyhose is made from nylon fibers, but like the Ajour 20 Tights, it may include other fibers like cotton and elastane as well. Nylon yarn is made through a process called “melt spinning,” where adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine are polymerized to create a thick resin. The resin is cut into small chips before being heated and pressurized until they reach a syrup-like consistency. The material is then placed in the spinneret. Once in the spinneret, long strings of nylon will begin coming out from small holes in the machine, creating what will then be woven into nylon yarn.

Once created, the yarns will be stored on spools, which will be used in the knitting process. Using a circular knitting machine, a series of loops is created, quickly forming what will become a leg of hosiery. Modern knitting machines can create a single leg of hosiery in about 90 seconds. After the knitting process, the hosiery will then be seamed. The legs are seamed together to form a pair of pantyhose, and seams are placed to form the toes. Pantyhose with back seams will get those specific features during this part of the process as well.

After the hosiery is formed, it will be dyed a particular color. It is placed inside of a gentle net or basket, dipped into dye, and laid to dry until the dye has completely set. Sometimes, the hosiery may be dried in a gentle drying machine. Afterward, it is ready to be boarded, during which it is placed on a leg-like mold and heated to achieve that perfect silhouette shape.

Learning what goes into making a single pair of hosiery helps you gain a whole new appreciation for your favorite hose. If you’re still looking for that perfect pair, check out what we have at Hosieree.com today!

Are You Wearing The Right Size Hosiery?

Are You Wearing The Right Size Hosiery?

Hosiery that is too big will be prone to slipping, and hosiery that is too small will be prone to runs, tears, and premature fiber breakdown. While a pair of jeans or a sweater may work in a slightly “off” size, hosiery is a bit different. It’s extremely important to find your correct size in hosiery, and there are a few tips and tricks to help you to do so more easily. Here’s what you need to know about getting the right size hosiery:

  • Sizing May Differ – Like with other types of clothing, hosiery sizing will differ across brands, fabrics, and types. Your size in the Alba Chiara 40 Tights might be completely different than your size in the Blind Date Sheers, and that’s okay. When shopping for pantyhose, it’s important to look at individual size charts for the pairs of pantyhose you’re interested in and go by each chart to find your perfect size. At Hosieree.com, we provide accurate size charts for all of our pairs of hose so you can go for your ideal size with ease.
  • Go Bigger – In some instances, you might find that you’re in between sizes on a size chart, but that doesn’t mean you need to skip over that perfect pair of hose. When you get in that kind of situation, it’s always recommended to go with the slightly large size over the slightly small one. When hosiery is too small, the fibers are put under constant stress, and a delicate pair of hose will wear out too quickly. You can always fix hosiery that is slipping, while a pair of hose with a large hole might be deemed irreparable.
  • Don’t Go By Look – If you’re checking a pair of hose and you think it looks too small, that might not necessarily be the case. Hosiery of different materials and fabrics can stretch, and it’s important to try the hosiery on before deciding if it’s a “no” or a “go.”

When you find the right hosiery, you’ll never want to let it go, and we have just what you’re looking for at Hosieree.com. Each pair of hose we offer features a sizing chart as part of the product description, allowing you to see what size is the best fit for you no matter what pair you’re interested in. To find out what size you may be in your favorite hose, check out what we have at Hosieree.com today.

4 Reasons To Invest In Nude Hosiery Now

4 Reasons To Invest In Nude Hosiery Now

You might have plenty of fashion hose options, several pairs of tights, and a wide range of stockings, but do you have that key pair of nude hosiery yet? Nude hosiery should be a staple piece in any wardrobe, but too many women feel intimidated by the idea of it.

If you’re still not convinced, read on to discover 4 reasons to invest in nude hosiery right now.

  • They Always Match – One of the biggest issues many have with opaque tights is matching them.

Nude sheer hosiery always matches, and it lets you get more comfortable with hosiery styles before you can move on to trendier, more fashion-forward pieces on the market.
  • Your Legs But Better – Nude hosiery is practically invisible, and there are nude shades you can find for all skin tones and needs. What you get is a “your legs but better” look that allows for easy enhancement.
  • That Touch Of Warmth – Nude hose doesn’t only come in the ultra-sheer variety, so you can make use of a pair in the fall and winter months as well. Choosing nude hosiery with a bit of a higher denier gives you enough layering with a subtle and understated elegant look.
  • Get The Royal Look – Nude hosiery came surging back into fashion in 2011 after the big royal wedding. Ever since that event, it has become a key part of any elegant day or night look. When you wear nude hosiery, you automatically get a touch of royal sophistication that’s often hard to achieve.

At Hosieree.com, we have the ultra-sheer and opaque nude hosiery pieces you’re looking for to really enhance your wardrobe during any season. If you’re in search of your perfect pair, see what we have in store for you at Hosieree.com today.

Summer 2020 Tights Looks For Every Closet

Summer 2020 Tights Looks For Every Closet

The unofficial start of summer is finally here, and with it we have summer wardrobes, short hemlines, and bright, sunny days. While choosing your bathing suit and your sundresses, you should also be looking for the hosiery you’re going to wear all throughout the summer season. While hosiery is a well-known staple for the fall, winter, and spring months, they’re just as important during the summer months as well!

Hosiery does a lot more than bring warmth—they also bring elegance and style to any outfit. During the summer months, you can remain cool and comfortable by choosing sheer hosiery, which is breathable even on the hottest of summer days. The summer 2020 tights looks you’ll need to grace your closet with this year are the following:

  • Classic sheer – Every woman’s wardrobe should have at least 1 pair of gorgeous, sheer hose in a classic nude shade. A pair of 8 den hose will polish your ensemble in an instant, and it will be the hosiery piece you’ll reach for in order to look your best at every single summertime event. You can wear them at a wedding, in the office, and for a fun night out.
  • Fishnets – Fishnets came surging back into popularity during 2019, and they’re showing absolutely no signs of slowing. For summer, large open fishnets can give any outfit an edgy look while never adding any sort of discomfort or unwanted warmth.
  • Thigh highs – One of the biggest complaints many have regarding summer hosiery is the fear of heat. It’s hot during those dog days of summer, and the last thing you want is to feel constricted or overly warm. Thigh highs ensure complete breathability during the summer months as they only cover the leg up to the thigh. The Eluxa Toeless Thigh High Stockings by Fiore is a 20 den stocking with a toeless structure that’s perfect for open-toed summer footwear.

A Few Easy Ways To Prevent Runs And Tears In Your Hosiery

A Few Easy Ways To Prevent Runs And Tears In Your Hosiery

Runs and tears pop up in your hosiery seemingly without warning, and it’s the most disappointing way for a pair of hose to get ruined. While there are some obvious things you can do to avoid runs and tears, such as keeping your fingernails clipped and filed, there are other tricks many women swear by to keep their hosiery in good shape. A few easy ways to prevent runs and tears from in your hosiery are:

  • Moisturizing – If your skin is a little dry, you create unnecessary friction for your hosiery. It will be tougher to put on a pair, and you’ll be working the fibers a little too hard each time you pull the hose up or down. Before putting on hosiery, make sure to moisturize your legs, allow the moisturizer to soak in completely, and then slide your hosiery on gently. You should feel a dramatic difference in how easily your hosiery glides on.
  • Freezing it – It might seem odd to put hosiery in the freezer, but some women swear that freezing strengthens the fibers. To freeze your hosiery, slightly wet the hose, squeeze out any excess moisture, place the pair in a plastic bag, and put it inside the freezer overnight. In the morning, take your hosiery out and allow them to warm to room temperature before putting them on.
  • Keeping nail polish and hairspray in your bag – In some cases, runs and tears are unavoidable. For instance, you’re in the office and you bump into the sharp edge of a filing cabinet, only to look down and see a tear in your hose. When that occurs, you don’t have to sit back and watch the tear grow larger. As long as you have a travel bottle of extra hold hairspray and some clear nail polish in your bag, you’ll be ready to protect your hose anytime. Paint a layer of clear nail polish along the edges of the tear, wait for the polish to dry, and then spray the entire area with extra-strong hold hairspray.

When irreparable tears and runs do occur, we have just the hosiery pieces to replace the favorites you’ve lost. We have high-end European hosiery of all kinds, so there’s always a new pair to fall in love with. To see what we have to offer, check out our product line at Hosieree.com today.

5 Reasons To Wear Summer Hosiery

5 Reasons To Wear Summer Hosiery

While hosiery is a popular fall, winter, and spring staple, it doesn’t lose its importance in the summer. However, a lot of women will skip hosiery once the warm weather comes around, believing that it will be uncomfortable to use in hot temperatures. However, with the right amount of denier, a pair of sheer hose will enhance the beauty of your legs and keep them cool at the same time. There are also other benefits hosiery can bring to your wardrobe regardless of the season. Read on to discover 5 reasons to wear summer hosiery.

  • Feel confident in any hemline – Summertime allows for the shortest hemlines of the year, so you can have your legs on full display. This can make some feel a bit uncomfortable if they’re not confident in the way their legs look, but that is where hosiery comes to the rescue. Hosiery can provide an “airbrush” effect, camouflaging bruises, scrapes, spider veins, and other imperfections you want to hide.
  • Give your razor a break – During the summer months, shaving every day or every other day can be harsh on your skin, but what other option do you have? After all, it’s too hot to wear long skirts or pants. The answer is hosiery. It will leave your legs looking perfect every time, so you can wear shorts and give your skin a break from frequent shaving.
  • Cool down – If you need to attend an outdoor wedding or other similar events, you can keep cool with hosiery. Place a spare pair of sheer hose in the freezer while you’re getting ready to go out, and pack it in a small insulated bag you can keep in your handbag or the car. When you start feeling too warm, take the cooled pair of hose and switch them out with the ones you’re currently wearing.
  • Even out your skin – Getting an accidental tan in a pair of crop pants isn’t a big deal—until you put on a short sundress. Summer hosiery can help you even out the look of your legs, taking away those unwanted tan lines.
  • Keep your feet protected – The summer season is sweating season, and going without hosiery can leave your shoes doing all the work. Sweaty feet can lead to shoe breakdown and odor, blisters, and damage to the skin of your feet. Summer hosiery helps wick moisture away, protects your pedicure, and leaves your shoes fresher.

4 Hosiery Hacks That Everyone Should Know

4 Hosiery Hacks That Everyone Should Know

If you want to get the most out of your hosiery, you need to learn a few hacks that will allow you to do just that. Hosiery doesn’t just make you look good but also serves a function that no other clothing piece can. It slims you, perfects you, and adds elegance and style all at once. To have an even better experience with your favorite pairs of hose, here are 4 hosiery hacks that you can try today.

  • Go non-slip – When you wear your summer hose with strappy sandals, you might find that your feet tend to slip around a bit more with the soft fabric of the hose on the soles of your feet. This hack is a favorite of none other than Princess Kate Middleton, and it’s the non-slip grip. Non-slip sole pantyhose ensure that your feet stay put in your favorite footwear. Our Acapulco 7 Non-Slip Sole Pantyhose are both ultra-sheer and toeless, so they go perfectly with every piece in your summer wardrobe.
  • Keep a dryer sheet in your bag – If you’ve ever run into the “sticky skirt” problem, you’re certainly not alone. At times, your pantyhose can attract a bit of static electricity, causing some fabrics to stick to them as you walk. A quick and easy fix involves rubbing a clean dryer sheet on the statically charged areas. This only takes a couple of seconds, but it makes a huge difference.
  • Use knee-highs to stop blisters – Not everyone likes wearing socks with flats, especially at the office, but blisters come with pain and embarrassment that are difficult to deal with while working. To prevent blisters, wear knee-high hosiery to keep your look refined while stopping unwanted friction in its tracks.
  • Opt for sheer hosiery to prevent chafing – Even if you weren’t planning to wear hosiery with your outfit for the day, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a pair ready inside your bag. Walking around in the summer heat can cause chafing between the legs where the thighs rub together, leading to discomfort very quickly. Putting on a pair of sheer hose won’t change your look, but it will put an end to the chaffing issue.

If you’re searching for the perfect pair of hose to incorporate into your wardrobe this summer, check out what we have in stock at Hosieree.com today. With the wide range of options we offer, you’ll surely find the hosiery that’s right for you in no time.

Four Easy Tips To Make Your Legs Look Longer And Leaner With Tights

Four Easy Tips To Make Your Legs Look Longer And Leaner With Tights

The best thing about wearing tights is that you can achieve any look you want. You can enhance your natural beauty with the right pieces. If you want to have the look of longer, leaner legs, there are some simple tips that can help you do so. Here are our top tips that anyone can do:

1. Match Your Shoes

Matching your shoes creates an uninterrupted line along your legs. Wearing shoes of a different color creates a visual barrier between your legs and your feet. Removing this barrier by wearing shoes of the same color as your tights can help your legs look miles long. Fortunately, tights like the Brigitte 15 Denier Pantyhose come in a wide variety of colors so they can match any footwear.

2. Choose A Darker Color

Dark colors like black, navy, and royal purple are naturally slimming. This is because dark colors hide any shadows and create a visual illusion of thinner lines, especially when worn on the legs. Luckily, you don’t have to stick to black. We have a beautiful selection of darker colors like the gorgeous dark magenta of the Sevilla LIbero Seamless Glossy Pantyhose in Cruela or the stunning emerald green of the Diamond Shimmering Fashion Tights in Smeraldo.

3. Opt For Opaque

Opaque tights with a denier rating of 40 or higher are also quite slimming. Opaque tights are thicker, so they hide any imperfections that you would see with a sheerer pair. They also create a solid visual line that can lengthen your legs. If you want to achieve this look, consider the Seidenglatt 70 Opaque Sheen Tights. They are thick and opaque, but the sheen helps distinguish them from leggings.

4. Go Vertical

Vertical stripes are the best pattern for making your legs look longer and leaner. That is because your eyes immediately follow the line upward, highlighting the length of your legs. To try this look for yourself, go for the 615 Mesh Open Crotch Pantyhose. You can also try a simple tuxedo line like the one featured on the Cosmo 40 Tights.

These tips will help you have the long, lean legs you’ve always wanted in an instant. At Hoseiree.com, we have the hosiery you need to achieve any look. Our European-made hosiery is manufactured using the finest quality materials and the most advanced techniques, so you won’t have to worry about your new look being ruined by unsightly tears or runs. Check out our full selection to find the pair that’s perfect for you.
