Hosiery Tips

Update your hosiery collection every season. This will ensure your stockings will be free of runs, snags and signs of wear. Our hosiery and bodystocking prices are the lowest you'll find on the Internet. But before ordering, read through our comprehensive hosiery wearing tips.

Be honest about your height and weight. Proper sizing will ensure a proper and comfortable fit. If you're at the upper end of a size range, it's often wise to get the next size for maximum fit and comfort.

A bare leg is very sexy, sophisticated and attractive, but not always practical or appropriate. To create the natural look of bare legs, choose a neutral or nude color that closely matches your skin tone.

Be adventurous! Add textures, patterns, lace, and fishnet to accent a short skirt.

For a taller, thinner look, go monochromatic by matching the color tone of your hosiery to your shoe or your hem. This look works very well with colors like navy, gray, brown, beige, and taupe. You can even try this with burgundy and rust - but never try it with red.

Tone-on-tone coloring was the trend on the runways this spring and you don't have to be a model to look longer and leaner.

With a red dress, try taupe hosiery and taupe shoes.

White stockings are for nurses and brides.

Off-white or light beige hosiery looks great worn with black during the summer season.

Hosiery for dressy or business wear should be very sheer.

Two-toned shoes look best with hosiery that matches the lighter color. Never match to the darker color in your shoe.

Off-black is subtler than solid black and will make your legs look sexier.

Control top hosiery is more durable than regular stockings, and Lycra extends the resiliency of both.

Avoid emergencies by keeping a spare pair of stockings in your desk drawer or glove compartment.

Hand wash hosiery separately and never put them in the dryer.
