Stockings, or hose, are fashion garments covering the foot and lower part of the leg that bring out the raunchy side of the wearer. Gracing women for decades, they are a very important part of the glamour world. Stockings are a two pieced hosiery. With lots of different styles and patterns on offer, it is you, the women out there who are gaining at the end of the day. Here’s a look at the types of fashion stockings:

Pantyhose

Popularly known as tights, they cover the leg entirely, from toe to waist. Tubes of nylon are sewn around the toe region, but are open around the crotch area. Usually, a gusset is added for that area. Black tights are the most popular variation, but also patterned tights and fishnet tights are mainstream and a daily sight.

Thigh High Fashion Stockings

These are quite popular and preferred over pantyhose for a variety of reasons such as erotic intent, aesthetics, sexual spontaneity, etc. Its easier access to genital area enhances the sexual spontaneity. It makes a very bold statement. They are also very hygienic as it causes less sweat, thus minifying the risks of fungal or bacterial infection.

Hold-Ups

The tag hold-ups originated from the fact that these stockings do not require any suspenders as they are designed in such a way. The extra elasticity to hold up the stockings with the use of modern fibers like Lycra have not gained as much popularity because of the fact that the extra elasticity has actually made these stockings uncomfortable.

Knee-High Stockings

If you want to wear stockings to your office, then this one’s for you. Knee-highs don’t carry that sexy element for the obvious reasons. They have therefore become a replacement for socks, often called ‘pop-up socks.’ Easy to put on, these stocking have befriended modern women. There are a few of absolute no-no’s that you must keep in mind though. Never ever wear it with a skirt shorter than a full length crinoline as it is going to make you look nothing less than terrible!

Ankle Stockings

Made out of the sheer hosiery fabric these are even lower than the knee-high stockings. Sagging is a big-big issue with these stockings. It is something that should better be avoided.

Shoeliners

Shoeliners, or footsocks, are the latest addition to this category. The briefest hosiery item, shoeliners end up halfway up the foot. The tendency to look up the leather while wearing a pair of shoes makes it look a little awkward.

Wearing Tips:

• Make sure that your shoe always matches your stocking. This is something that you absolutely cannot afford to go wrong with.
• A nude sheer stocking is something that you can get away with almost every time.
• Black ones are for concerts or some related fancy affairs.
• You can also give super sheer a try as it gives the look of bare legs, a look of no stockings at all.
