Welcome to my tights and hosiery blog
Hello and welcome to the best tights and hosiery blog you can find on the Internet,
at least I hope so.
Sorry about the mess. Surely you will find tights everywhere, that
is because I am a tights fashion blogger (or tights blogger, if you prefer), sort of.
I have so many things to show you that I don't have time to tidy
up. Well, yes, I'm also a bit lazy but let's not get off
topic.
I want to show you my quite personal vision of life, a little bit about
fashion, but also about other things like
motivational quotes. Wow, the list is so big.
Regarding to fashion, I must confess that I have a
nylon addiction. I love to wear all kinds of hosiery: tights or stockings,
like any good self-respecting tights fashion blogger. I find it a way to
enhance my
femininity
and that's something I like to show off.
So if you like nylons, high heels and boots combined with miniskirts and
short dresses, or even with shorts, leggings and jeans then you'll love
this iconoclastic tights fashion blog.

What I put in my closet

Ok, there's actually more stuff in my closet, but I hope that the menu above
gives you an idea of what's in there and that you can find things without
getting lost in the process.
Women's footwear and tights
I love shoes, especially high-heeled ones. Yes, I know they are tiresome
and that it is not good to walk in them for a long time but I still like
them.
In cold seasons I love to wear
boots. Knee-high boots are very convenient when you want to look elegant.
While over the knee boots are more convenient when I want to look a
little bit naughty. Ankle boots are very practical because they
definitely go with everything.
I mainly like
sandals
because they allow me to show off my pampered toenails well cared for,
although I also like
pumps
and if they are stilettos much better. But lately I have been getting
addicted to a type of footwear that fascinates me because of its
simplicity and how striking they are:
mules. You can wear mules to create a casual look or to look super sexy. They
never let you down.
Women's outfits with tights
As I mentioned before,
I love to wear tights
so I always try to mix them with the rest of my closet. In this section you
will find many ideas in that sense. You will see many ideas about how to
combine your tights with dresses, skirts and even shorts (great in cold
seasons).
I must confess that I also wear tights with pants and even with jeans but I
do this for pure vice, not for fashion.
Short quotes
Here you will find little nuggets of wisdom mixed with beautiful girls tights that will help you make your day more enjoyable.
I really like love quotes so here you will surely find some that will help you reach the heart of your loved one.
Whatever quotes you like you will surely find here your daily ration of motivation.
Pantyhose, tights and stockings
Ok, this is certainly a blog about pantyhose, but we also love all
presentations of nylons: tights and stockings, and here we'll show you how
to tell them apart.
Although perhaps on more than one occasion we do not give the necessary
importance to semantic issues, it is always necessary to call things by
their proper name. Thus, in the world of hosiery there are three widely used
garments: pantyhose, tights and stockings.
And to know a little more about this we must know what is the denier.
Denier
The denier is a unit of measurement in the textile industry and is defined
as a ratio that allows us to know the linear mass of a textile fiber. In
order not to get too technical we will say that the denier gives us an idea
of how opaque and thick a hosiery is.
Depending on the country where we are, we will realize that there are subtle
differences in the naming of these garments.
For example, in the United States pantyhose and tights are differentiated
only by their denier. If the garment is between 8 and 30 denier then it is
called pantyhose. But if it is between 40 and 100 denier then it is called
tights.
In Great Britain and in Europe in general they do not complicate life and
there are only tights. For them there is no such term as pantyhose.
Stockings are easier to define as they only go up to the top of the thigh,
unlike tights or pantyhose which go up to the waist. The stockings can then
be secured with suspenders and a garter belt, although some have a silicone
rim that prevents them from slipping down.
Reasons to wear tights
I would like to see all women in tights. If you are not yet a regular
user of tights, after reading this post you will surely seriously
consider using them for their multiple health benefits:
- Prevent varicose veins. Although compression hose are recommended in these cases, regular tights also work as a lightweight version as they are snug enough to give your legs extra support.
- Swelling and blood clots. Tights help prevent swelling of the legs and even blood clots caused by fluid retention due to prolonged standing or lack of movement.
- Leg fatigue. Tights help improve blood circulation in the legs by helping to decrease leg fatigue caused by excess blood that has been pulled down by gravity.
- Prevents dryness. When in direct contact with tights are effective in retaining the skin's natural oils and moisture which is especially beneficial during the colder months when the skin can become dry due to low humidity.
- Chafing. Tights help reduce the occurrence of chafing injuries by reducing the chance of the legs accumulating moisture and rubbing against each other leading to a rash or in the worst case scenario an open sore.
Tights and open toe shoes
Can you wear tights with open toe shoes?
I've lost count of how many times I've heard this question.
For a long time there has been a kind of witch hunt against all of us
who dared to wear tights with open-toed shoes. We were condemned to
be burned at the stake of fashion. But no more.
More and more fashion media are reporting more and more designers who
dare to dress their models with tights and open shoes in various
styles.
So the fashion cops will surely be in intensive care in the face of
this wave of bad taste that looks so, so good. No one should have the
power to decide for you what to wear or what not to wear.
So, go ahead and wear your tights with open-toed shoes without
remorse.
How to wear tights in summer
I've always admitted it, I'm a nylon addict. I wear tights year round,
even in the summer. I think the only place I haven't (yet) gone tights is the beach, although come to think of it....
If you need some ideas on how to enjoy your tights all year long, here
are a few:
This way you will always look casual and attractive in this season of
the year.
Tights size chart
One thing that can cause hesitation when choosing tights and tights is
knowing which size is right for you. Every woman in tights should
know her size well.
For this reason, here is a reference table of the tights sizes that
you can find in the market.
As a general rule tights are measured by the height and
weight of the persons.
The measurements are by letter with A being the smallest. The following
table gives a rough idea of the meaning of the various sizes. Sizes
beginning with a Q are queen sizes; "QP" is queen small.
However, it is always advisable for buyers to consult the manufacturer's
size chart, if possible.
