Topics, Fashion Advice and Tips on Womens Fashion Hosiery

Womens Hosiery Fashion Advice A Must-read!

Unless you have long and slim legs you're primed for all kinds of hosiery. However if they're a bit on the shorter or curvy side, you need to choose hosiery carefully as it can easily add pounds and even shorten them :S.

Black hold up stockings icon

Fashion Stockings Essential!

Make sure you secure a pair of black stockings. These go great with a short party dress or skirt!

And you can also wear them to work but make sure that your skirt or dress is long enough to make the laced stretch bans less obvious.

Nude colored hold ups are also an option which can be paired with a summer office dress.

Black fishnet stockings icon

Fishnet Stockings Essential!

Mostly worn at parties and fun events like Halloween! Other than that, it will look a little tacky. It also depends on how big those fishnet holes are. I personally prefer small ones for parties some casual work office setting, and bigger ones for fun times.
Sheer tights icon

Sheer Hosiery Essential!

Hide your razor bumps and veins with sheer tights in black or nude!

Perfect for wearing with your office skirt outfit or any formal or semi-formal dresses. In fact, they go with absolutely everything. Sheer tights are definitely the most important pair of womens hosiery you can ever own because they're versatile and look flattering on all body shapes and legs. A must buy!

Note: Also try glossy tights (see below) paired with a sophisticated outfit for a sexy and chic look.
Glossy tights icon

Glossy Pantyhose Essential for going out!

They look alluring with any fashion dress or skirt. Perfect for a sexy evening look.

A pretty pair of tights that make your legs look flawless!

Wool tights icon

Wool Tights Essential!

Your fall/winter must-own. They're super-chic with a knit dress or long sweater. And sexy with boots or platform shoes.

I recommend wool tights in neutral colors such as black, brown and beige as they match with absolutely everything. But don't be afraid to be bold and interesting with deep fall/winter colors like purple, electric blue, red, or mustard yellow -- you'll inject a little bit of color when everything seems cold and grey.
Fashion socks icon

Fashion Socks Essential!

Socks are your wardrobe staples. They're perfect for casual outfits and even with high heel shoes like Mary Jane or Oxford shoes.

Secure essentials like white socks for everyday wear; black socks that will fit right in your office work wardrobe; ankle low cut socks for your sneakers during warmer months; knee/thigh socks for a preppy yet trendy look (or if you want to warm your feet and ankles); cute socks (for example Hello Kitty :-) ) for relaxing at home.


Black leggings icon

Fashion Leggings Essential!

I disagree with people who think wearing leggings is like wearing underwear. They're comfortable and convenient when you just want to slip in a short dress or long tunic top. Good for anytime of the year as long as two-thirds of your top cover your top butt.

Make sure you secure spandex leggings in black, which is a versatile color. White is basic too but it'll look summery for Fall/Winter wear. Personally, I don't usually wear a lot of white bottoms for cooler months because it just doesn't suit the season :/ Consider white leggings as a Spring/Summer essential only. Other popular legging colors are: brown, mustard yellow, red, blue, dark green.

Tip: If you have wide or short legs, go for ankle leggings as capri leggings (the hit the widest part of your legs and bring attention to them) will make them look stubby.


Opaque tights icon

Opaque Tights Essential!

Unlike wool tights, these are thinner. Opaque means that you can't see through it which means it is solid-colored!

Hot opaque colors are black, red, mustard yellow, military green, purple and electric blue!


Lace tights icon

Lace Tights Vampy yet trendy

Lace tights are gorgeous! Match it with a black tunic dress and black pumps, you've got yourself a sexy (yet tasteful) Victorian vamp! But it can turn into a disaster if you don't do it right. I say, keep it simple!
Leopard tights icon

Printed Tights Bold!

Print tights like leopard, snake, argyle, stripes and paisley are hot this season.

Print tights are best worn as a part of a monochromatic outfit. Like for example a black dress. Bold patterns aren't easy to pull off. It can either make or break your look.
