Hosiery: They’re Not Just For The Office

Gone are the day when hosiery is just something you see you mother pull on when getting ready for the office. Hosiery has gone beyond the usual stockings and pantyhose. Explore the uses - and the benefits - of hosiery and its different styles with this short guide.

• Thigh High Hosiery
  This is perhaps the most common stocking style. As the name suggest, it reaches up to your thighs so the more modest versions are fit for most occasions. If your thigh highs will be for everyday use, a sturdier and thicker denier is important to prevent runs and laddering.
  For racier pursuits, you can find thigh hosiery in fishnet and fence net styles in a wide variety of colors and trims. You can pair these with same color lingerie for a complementary look or garters for a raunchier appeal.
• Footless Hosiery
  This style is perfect for layering clothes and wearing open-toed shoes and sandals. Ideal under mini dresses or long tops, footless hosiery lets you layer without the bulky look. They can contribute pops of color to your ensemble. With footless hosiery, you can wear your sandals without exposing your legs if you don’t want to.
• Seamless Hosiery
  If you intend to wear stockings under form-fitting clothes, do it with seamless hosiery. This way, you’re still covered without telltale lines running the back of your thighs.
• Pantyhose
  Pantyhose are ideal for formal occasions and under dresses or skirts with long slits or shorts as they won’t reveal leg bands. Subtly shaping control tops and non-binding waistbands are also common features. Pantyhose also provide protection against chafing of thighs which may irritate the skin. Most pantyhose come in opaque, sheer, and extra sheer.
• Sheer Hosiery
  Reinforced toes, ladder-resistant material, seamless, and sandalfoot are some of the most common features of sheer hosiery. They provide coverage, hide blemishes, shape legs, and give the appearance of smoothness. With sheer hosiery, you’ll look bare-legged without actually exposing your legs.
