How to choose stockings?

Interestingly, wearing stockings until the sixteenth century was a male privilege. Somewhat later, the ladies won this right from the strong half of humanity. Because we realized that this is not only convenient, but also beautiful. And if for men stockings were outerwear, then women turned them into an intimate component of the wardrobe. So intimate that in some countries the death penalty relied on imports of stockings! It was believed that this is a corrupting accessory. The only thing you can agree with here is that the woman in stockings looks incredibly sexy. In Europe, stockings became popular in the 30s of the last century. They were made of nylon, and such things were quite expensive. They became publicly available only in the 50s. Let's talk about how to choose stockings to look attractive and not feel discomfort.

What to look for when buying?

Today on the shelves you can see a huge number of varieties of hosiery, so it is often difficult to make a choice. Here's what you need to pay attention to when choosing.

Smell

It is not unusual for you to smell a purchase. Branded Italian products have a fairly strong and stable, but unusually pleasant smell. The technology with the use of fragrances is quite complicated, so artisanal production can not afford anything like that.

The seam

There are only 2 types of seams - flat and round. Stretch the product in the palm of your hand and you can appreciate the appearance of the seam:

• Round seams are only for inexpensive models of dubious quality.
• High-quality expensive models are characterized by a flat seam.

Important! The disadvantage of round seams is that they rub the skin of the legs and are visible under tight clothing.

DEN

This indicator characterizes the density of the product. And you must pay attention to it in order to choose stockings of suitable quality:

• The thinnest stockings - for 6-15 DEN. This is a great summer wear option. You can wear them for some kind of celebration or party, or a romantic date.
• Products with an indicator of 20-40 DEN - this is the choice for the autumn-spring period.

What else do you need to know?

• Before buying, do not forget to ask about how much lycra is contained in stockings. The bigger, the better. Lycra is an elastic fiber, thanks to which stockings sit like a second skin.
• Give preference to famous brands. Branded products remain branded, whatever you say. Of course, their cost is higher, but the quality and convenience are at the highest level.
• Do not neglect stocking size. Of course, they are stretched to a certain extent, but the sizes were not invented by chance. If the product is small, then it will not make the leg more elegant, but it will tear torn on the heel. If too large, it will frown and crawl. Such folds have not added beauty to anyone.

Important! If you have full and short legs, patterned and "mesh" products - not for you. They make the legs visually fuller and shorter.

How to choose stockings by size?

Consider how to determine the size of stockings correctly:

• There is a special table on the package (horizontal line - weight, vertical - height). Sizes are indicated by numbers from 1 to 6 or the letters XS, S, M, L, XL (small to very large).
• The size of the product is also determined by the size of the legs (8.5-13) and the length of the product.The length is determined by such designations: S (slightly above the knees), M (above the knees 80-100 mm) and L (to the middle of the hips).

Important! Sometimes wearing hosiery is necessary for medical purposes. It's about compression knitwear. In this case, which specialist to choose the size of stockings, which length of the product to choose and the degree of compression, will advise.

How to choose stockings by color?

Choosing a stocking size for a girl is undoubtedly important. But the color of the product is no less significant, since a wrong shade can destroy the entire image and make you doubt the good taste and even decency of the lady.

White

This is the choice of ladies with immaculate legs. The white stockings are plump and flaunt all the imperfections of the legs. Therefore, they are “to face” unless the bride. Well, maybe not even a nurse, and even that, the image is a little vulgar.

Corporeal

Neutral, versatile color, suitable for any foot. Slender legs in bodily stockings will look just fine, and full, at least not ugly.

Important! Products with a tint of a slightly noticeable tan will suit pastel shades.

Smoky gray

Such products are able to correct deficiencies. They are ideal for full legs, visually making them slimmer.

Opaque and transparent black

Opaque models are not the sexiest option, as they mercilessly emphasize all the flaws. Transparent black stockings - on the contrary, are unusually sexy. They are especially suitable for women with beautiful long legs.

Picture

Color models with a variety of drawings are quite popular among creative people. But you need to remember that for an office or social event - this is not suitable. You need to choose options for more muted and calm shades.

Important! The same rule applies to all kinds of bright colors. Harmoniously, they can look only on young girls in bright dresses of a suitable shade at parties.

The secrets of proper socks

It is not enough to choose the color and size of stockings. You must also be able to wear these clothes.

Stockings - Underwear

No one should guess what is on you - tights or stockings. It is unacceptable that a dense silicone edge protrude through clothing or, moreover, be visible. It's ugly when you look at a stocking belt. For this reason, do not wear too tight clothing with stockings.

Important! Underwear that peeks out from under the clothes is vulgarity. Neither young ladies nor adult ladies should be allowed this.

Combination with shoes and clothes

The most win-win option is transparent stockings that look great with any shoe, including open shoes:

• For serious events, black stockings are ideal. They are combined with black clothes and shoes.
• For friendly gatherings, items decorated with sequins and sparkles are suitable. But you need to remember: light shoes can not be combined with dark stockings!
• Ideal if the stockings are a little lighter than the clothes (you can - in tone), but not darker.

Important! Tights are more suitable for a tight mini-outfit. If you still prefer stockings, then under the dress to the knee, denser products are better suited, and under the outfit below the knee - transparent.

Do I need a belt?

Many ladies will negatively answer this question, believing that the silicone insert at the top of the product is quite enough. In fact, a correctly selected belt is almost sexier than the stockings themselves. Here are a few secrets to making the right choice:

• It is necessary that the belt is combined with other items of underwear.
• It is important to choose a belt so that it emphasizes all the advantages of the figure.
• It is not necessary that the belt and panties be the same color, but it is necessary that they are combined in shade. The use of incompatible colors is a sign of bad taste.
• They go well with a belt with panties of the “string” or “tanga” style.
