How to Wear Tights With Different Shoe Styles

How to Wear Tights With Different Shoe Styles

How many types of shoes do you have in your wardrobe? Between heels and boots, you probably have at least five different shoe types. You might be surprised that you can actually wear all of them with your favorite tights, if you only know how to mix them together in a chic yet seamless manner.

Read on to know how you can make the most of both your shoes and tights!

1. Tights With Heels

If you have some plain high heels, you can pair them dark tights with a wee bit of shimmer, like our Diamond Shimmering Fashion Tights. If your heels are textured, such as suede, you can opt for a flat or semi-opaque pair, like our Cortina 40- Semi-Opaque Tights in Bright Colors.

2. Tights With Mary Janes

Mary Jane shoes are not only cute. They also provide extra security. They are also great for any occasion and setting, whether for formal events or a normal day at the office.

If you’re wearing your Mary Janes, make sure you choose a pair of tights that’s within the same color palette as your shoes. For instance, if you have a glossy black pair of Mary Jane shoes, you can wear a pair of gray tights with it, such as our Arctic 500 Microfiber Tights in Grey. You can also go for a black sheer one, such as these Intrigante Tulle Thigh Highs.

3. Tights With Open-Toes

If you think that you couldn’t wear tights and open-toe shoes together, think again. One of the best ways to wear open-toe shoes with tights is to choose a pair of thick, opaque tights that’s a shade lighter than your shoes. This way, your toes will still show, albeit covered.

For example, if you’re wearing black open-toe heels, pair it with a dark-smoke thick tights, such as our Bellissima K2 300 Den 3D Microfiber Tights.

4. Tights With Boots

Whether you’re wearing your tights with ankle, knee-high, or thigh-high boots, the key is to ensure contrast in terms of texture. If you’re wearing glossy boots, then you should opt for matte, opaque tights. It’s best to go for plain tights, so that your ensemble won’t be too much to the eyes. Our Cortina 100- 3D Opaque Tights are sure to do the job right.

By the way, it’s not only the shoes that you should look at when planning your outfit. You should also make sure that your top or dress goes well with your tights and shoes.

How to Properly Care for Fine Hosiery

How to Properly Care for Fine Hosiery

Tights, leggings, pantyhose, and stockings are some of the essential clothing pieces for cold weather. They are particularly helpful in creating a layered ensemble that’s not only warm and comfortable, but chic and stylish, too.

You surely love your Hosierre.com hosiery and we know that you want to make them last. Since you’re likely to find yourself using them more often this season, we thought we’d share with you some essential care and maintenance tips that will help you enjoy your treasured hosiery longer.

1. Know when and how to wash.

Let’s make this clear: you don’t have to wash your hosiery after every wear. If they don’t get soiled, you can wear them up to three times before washing. This is particularly the case during winter, when you don’t really sweat a lot.

Think about your tights and leggings as though they are pants. Let’s be real here. How often do you wash your pants and jeans, really?

For hosiery, the less you wash, the better, because they will last longer. As long as they don’t smell and they aren’t stained, you can wear them one or two times more before washing.

Furthermore, you should know how to wash them properly. Here at Hosierre.com, we recommend hand washing and refrain from wringing them. Simply hang them by the band to make sure that they retain their shape.

2. Know how to handle them.

Fine hosiery is delicate and you need to handle and wear them with as much care as possible. When handling and wearing your hosiery, make sure your toe and fingernails do not have rough edges. It’s also best to remove jewelry before wearing tights, stocking, or pantyhose. Make sure you remove them with care, too.

3. Know how to store them.

Hosiery are not like school socks that you can roll into a ball. Fold your hosiery in half, with one leg over the other. Then, fold in half once more before putting them neatly in a drawer. Storing hosiery this way will help preserve the fibers.

For high-quality hosiery that you’ll love every second that you’re wearing them, check out our wide selection at Hosierre.com!

Fun and Chic Ways to Wear Tights This Coming Holidays

Fun and Chic Ways to Wear Tights This Coming Holidays

This coming holiday season, you will probably go to a number of gatherings and parties. You don’t have to stress yourself out thinking about what to wear each time you’re going out. With the right bottoms, mixing and matching will be a breeze!

Many think that leggings and tights are too casual to wear to events, but there’s actually a lot of ways you can make it fun and chic. Here are five classy and easy ways to wear leggings and tights this coming holiday.

1. Go Metallic

Match a winter legging, like our 3D Winter Leggings with a sparkly, metallic tunic. It’s best if you’d go monochromatic, with the sparkly and metallic fibers of your top serving as the highlight of your outfit. You can finish your look with an equally captivating dangling or chandelier earrings, and knee-high suede boots from the same color palette. A velvet bag will also go well with this look.

2. The Classic White Shirt

A pair of leggings such as our Bellissima Leggings Push Up With Modeling Effect will go well with a crisp white shirt, preferably one that rests at the hip. Then, spice up your look with some holiday-themed accessories. Think red and gold drop earrings and a shiny red handbag.

3. From Dress to Top

Do you have a festive-colored dress that’s too short to be worn on a winter day? Get it out of the closet and wear it with a glossy pair of tights like our Black Brilliant Tights. Essentially, you’re turning the dress into a tunic and you won’t have to wait for summer to wear it. Grab some suede booties to mix up the textures of your outfit.

4. Cozy Up in a Sweater

Just because it’s cold out and you can’t go out without a sweater doesn’t mean you can’t be chic and fab. For instance, you can pair our Artica 120 Tights in Wool and Cotton with your favorite turtleneck sweater. If you’re still feeling cold, a pair of knee-high boots can add extra warmth. Make sure you accessorize with statement earrings.

5. Make It Pop

Another great way to embody the season’s festivities is to wear a bold and bright pair of leggings or tights and match it with a neutral-colored top. Check out our Margit Fashion Tights that come in three color options or the Uppsala Wet Looking Tights that come in seven festive colors.

Are You Putting On Your Hosiery Correctly?

Are You Putting On Your Hosiery Correctly?

Even the best made European hosiery will have a certain delicate nature to it. Even when it’s built to last, the wrong care of your hosiery can leave you with holes, runs, and pilling along the surface of the nylon. At Hosieree.com, we want you to get the very best out of your hosiery, and we know that this starts with just how you put your hosiery on. For many who find they run through hosiery too often, they don’t realize that their method of putting on their hosiery could be contributing to their problem in a major way.

The process of putting on your hosiery starts long before you even pull your hose out from your drawer. Ideally, you’ll prepare your hands, legs, and feet before each time you put on your hose. Split or jagged nails, rough skin, and jewelry can all snag on your hosiery and cause the materials to break down. Before ever putting on your hose, make sure your nails are taken care of, your jewelry taken off, your legs moisturized, and your skin exfoliated to ensure your hosiery has nothing to snag onto.

Next, you’ll want to put your hosiery in a front-forward position. With hosiery in the right position, you’re ready to gather one leg with your hands until you reach the toe of the hosiery. Hold the waist gently, and use your fingers to slowly bunch the hosiery until your thumbs reach the toe area. Once bunched, insert your foot into the toe portion and allow the hosiery to un-bunch as you draw it up your leg. Once you reach just above the knee, stop pulling the hosiery up and begin the process on the other leg.

After your legs are covered, you should have enough material left over to easily pull the hosiery up to your waist. You may have to make some adjustments to ensure there are no twists or bunches in your hosiery, and these should be done carefully as not to put unnecessary stress on the fabric.

When you put on your hosiery the right way, you’re completing the first necessary step to ensuring you’re taking the best possible care of your hose. For more on hosiery care, or finding that perfect pair, contact us at Hosieree.com today.

Mastering 2019’s Biggest Trend

If you’ve been around any department store or read any fashion magazine during the year 2019, you’ve probably seen this year’s biggest trend – animal prints. Sure, animal prints never truly go out of style, but their full resurgence comes in and out of fashion as the years go by. For 2019, we’re in an animal print year full-swing, and we at Hosieree.com have just the hosiery you need to really maximize your wild style.

Animal prints can be explored and enjoyed in so many different ways. A simple leopard jacket is a removable way to wear your animal print, a skirt is a bold way to show it off, but we want to focus on how you can wear your animal print hosiery to really trademark this animal print look for yourself. What we love most about animal print hosiery is its sexy subtlety, and how you can play it up or play it down to go into any possible situation. You can mix animal print hosiery with a mini skirt for a date night out that oozes sex appeal, or you can wear animal print tights with a knee-length skirt to make it appropriate for the office. If you can dream it, you can do it with animal print.

Our Fashion Tights Caty are a classic example of your quintessential animal print. They’re a perfect basic leopard that can be dressed up, dressed down, turned into something rock n’ roll, or put into an elegant context. If you want to start out with animal print hosiery, we couldn’t think of a better place to begin. If you pair these tights with basics, they’re ready for the office, if you pair the tights with tailored shorts and sky-high pumps, they’re ready for your sassy night-out look.

One way to really modernize your animal print looks for 2019 is by pattern mixing, which some might find a little tough with animal prints but it’s truly a lot of fun to play with. The small animal print pattern of the Fashion Tights Caty are perfect for mixing with bold big florals, which really looks striking if you’re looking to pair this trend with the 90’s revival look.

Animal prints are the perfect neutral for spicing up your 2019 style, and we at Hosieree.com have the animal print tights, leggings, and even fishnet hose you need to fully embrace this style. If you’re looking for your ideal animal print, check out what we have at Hosieree.com today!

Looking Chic In Your Leggings

Looking Chic In Your Leggings

Few pieces of clothing are true fall staples quite like leggings. They can be worn under a skirt or dress, they can be paired with a tunic or cozy sweater, or they can be worn to the gym as part of the perfect trendy athleisure outfit. At Hosieree.com, we pride ourselves on carrying only the best European made leggings, so you always have just the pair you’re looking for to flawlessly pull off all your fall 2019 legging looks.

Due to their form fitting nature, a lot of women feel a little intimidated by leggings.

At Hosieree.com, we want you to love your leggings, and we have just the tips you need to feel confident and chic every time you put them on:

  • Pair with a denim jacket – If you’re looking to take the athleisure trend to the next level, while still maintaining a high-fashion look, it’s time to take out your favorite denim jacket. A pair of leggings with a crop or form fitting top is the perfect way to show off stand-out denim. You’ll avoid the denim-on-denim look that can be too much when you pair the jacket with jeans, while creating the perfect carefree brunch look.
  • Dress them up – A structured pair of leggings like those we feature at Hosieree.com are perfect for dressing up. A sleek pair of leggings looks great paired with an embellished blazer and bootie or pump, giving you a night-out look that is as comfortable as it is effortlessly chic.

  • Classic cozy – One of the most popular ways you’re going to see leggings throughout each fall season is within the classic cozy look. Take your leggings and pair with an oversized sweatshirt, a chunky sweater, and a scarf or hat, and you’re ready for all those Instagram worthy moments at the pumpkin patch.

Choosing Your Size In Hosiery

Choosing Your Size In Hosiery

Like bras and jeans, hosiery is another wardrobe staple that too many women wear in the wrong size. For those who may wonder just why their hosiery never seems to last, the most likely root cause is that you’re wearing the wrong size for your body shape. There is no body that cannot wear hosiery, and all it takes is figuring out what size is best for you. Wearing correctly sized hosiery ensures a longer life, better comfort, and a sexier look no matter what type of hosiery you may be wearing.

Like other types of clothing, sizes may vary when you go from brand to brand. Different manufacturers of hosiery will use different materials and methods, so you should always check the specific size chart for the pair you’re interested in before choosing your size. Even the highest quality European hosiery, like that we sell at Hosieree.com, will have some variations when you go from brand to brand or material to material. While you may be a size small/medium in one hosiery type, you could be a size medium/large in another, or a size x-small/small in another still.

If your hosiery fits you well, it should be comfortable, and it should not limit your movement. If you find that you’re afraid your hosiery may rip while you’re getting into or out of the car, chances are you’re wearing the wrong size. Hosiery like this that is too small is more susceptible to holes, runs, and tears as you place excess stress on the delicate fabrics. If you find that you’re constantly pulling up your hosiery, or you get regular bunches at the ankles, these are signs that your hosiery may be ill-fitting on the other end of the spectrum, and you require a smaller size than the size you’re wearing.

At Hosieree.com, from our tights, to our fishnets, we have complete size charts for every type of hosiery we sell. We want you to get the most out of your hose, and we know that this can only be accomplished when you know which size you should be wearing.

4 Ways To Wear Your Favorite Shorts Into Fall

4 Ways To Wear Your Favorite Shorts Into Fall

At Hosieree.com, we’re all about taking your favorite wardrobe pieces and utilizing them in unique and fashion forward ways. With the right hosiery, your favorite shorts are no longer a summer staple; they’re a year-round staple you can enjoy well into the fall! When you pair your shorts with hosiery, not only are you cool-weather friendly, but you’re given a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to creating stand-out outfits.

The key component to remember when taking your shorts into fall is pairing them with the right hose. You can pair a cut off pair of distressed denim shorts with fishnet hose for a punk-rock look, and just as easily you can pair a tailored pair of shorts with solid opaque tights for something sleek and ready for the office. Once you have your hosiery pairings down, you can then start to branch out into pairing with accessories and additional layers for a new fashion-forward look every day. 4 ways to wear your shorts and hosiery into fall are:

  • Set yourself up with a blazer – If you’re looking to take this look into the office, pairing with a blazer is a must. Take your favorite pair of tailored shorts, an opaque pair of tights, and a tucked in blouse and pair these elements with a sophisticated blazer. Never thought you could wear shorts to work? Think again!
  • Use longer shorts for extra movement – If you want something a little more retro inspired, longer shorts that go down to about the knee with a little movement are perfect. Paired with a quirky blouse, opaque hosiery, and T-strap heels, you’ll be perfectly executing those vintage vibes.
  • Get grunge cozy – Fall is all about those cozy looks, and the grunge look is bigger than ever this year. Take a distressed pair of shorts, pair with fishnet hose, and layer over top a chunky knit cardigan for a perfect cozy grunge look.
  • Day to night – Shorts and hosiery is a perfect choice for day to night looks. The same tailored shorts, hosiery, and blazer look that was ideal for the office is taken to happy hour by switching out your top for one with a little sparkle and some sky-high booties.

With fall fully underway, there is no better time to try out some of these fashion-forward looks for yourself. If you’re looking for the perfect hose to take your shorts into fall, check out what we’ve got at Hosieree.com today!

White Hosiery Is The Statement Trend Of Fall 2019

White Hosiery Is The Statement Trend Of Fall 2019

For fall and winter 2019, you might think you have your hosiery wardrobe stocked. You have patterns, you have opaque black, you have sheer nudes, but have you considered white? White hosiery often brings back the memories of Sunday dresses and Mary Jane shoes you wore as a little girl, but white hosiery is actually so much more than that. One of the most surprising trends coming into fall and winter 2019 is white hosiery, and this comes with a chicness many didn’t even know existed.

Statement hosiery has been a big deal for several years now. We’ve seen embellished tights with crystals or embroidery, we’ve seen edgy looks with fishnet, and we’ve seen color blocking trends expanded with the incorporation of brightly colored hose. However, white hosiery makes a statement of the statement, invoking looks like those popular on high fashion models during the 1960’s as well as some updated trends for the 21st century.

One way this trend is being embraced is with the retro look. One really excellent thing about rocking retro is that it never seems to go out of style. If you’re looking to invest in wardrobe pieces, like hosiery, going with something classic and vintage-inspired is likely to last the tests of time. White tights are being paired with patterned mini skirts and high-hemline shift dresses. As for footwear, chunky heels with an open toe is a great way to add in a little funkiness, while booties are a safer and always trendy option.

If you’re looking to bring this look into the 21st century with a more modern approach, try pairing your white hosiery with a light colored tailored short. These shorts are usually put away after the summer season ends, but white hosiery gives you a new way to wear them all the way into winter. For something extra chic, add a blazer in a complementing light color to your look with a closed-toe classic sky-high pump.

White hosiery is a part of the hosiery world you might be missing out on, and there are plenty of grown-up ways to wear white hosiery that add something entirely new to your wardrobe. If you’re looking for the perfect white hose to try this 2019 trend for yourself, we have just what you need at Hosieree.com!
