Hosiery comes in a huge selection of different forms. The main three types of hosiery consist of tights, stockings and hold ups. Tights are the most popular form of hosiery today. This hasn’t always been the case, tights only became accessible to the average person in the 1960’s, before this period stockings dominated. Tights are a leg garment that go from the waist right down covering the feet and toes. In America sheer tights are called pantyhose, whilst tights 40 denier or above, is called tights. Some tights do not cover the feet, these are generally termed footless tights or leggings, and are highly fashionable at present. Tights come in many different styles. Some tights are nude coloured and are used to improve the appearance of the legs, leading to a flawless finish. Classic sheer or opaque tights are a staple part of most girls wardrobes, and the past five years have seen a real emergence of fashion tights. Tights now come in a variety of colours from barely blacks and browns to bright neon. They also come in a range of designs which reflect the current trends. These include lace, fishnet designs, stripes and much more.

Stockings are a tight leg garment covering from the toes and feet to the upper thigh. Unlike tights, stockings consist of a pair. Stockings were very popular up until the 1960’s popularity has dwindled. Stockings require a suspender belt to hold them up. Stockings are preferable to tights for many women. They expose the thigh which gives them a sexier look. They give the wearer more freedom than tights, while providing more ventilation and are often thought of as more convenient. Stockings come in a wide range of styles and fashions. Currently fashionable is the mock seamed stockings, this is where a line resembling a seam is sown into the tight to resemble 1950’s style stockings. This is often associated with elegance and glamour. Other popular stockings include fishnet stockings, these are knitted stockings with diamond ahaped gaps which looks like a fishnet, these create a sexy look which is extremely popular. Other stockings include knee high, which sit just below the knee, opaque heavy stockings and sheer stockings. There are also a range of gorgeous suspender belts available to make you feel very sexy and special. Stockings and suspenders are particularly popular for extra special occasions such as dates.

A piece of hosiery that differs from both tights and stockings are hold ups. These are most similar to stockings, yet do not require any kind of suspender belt as they stay up on their own. They often have a strip of elastic material that attaches to the thigh area keeping them in place. The elastic material is generally decorated by lace, providing a sexy, pretty look. These are often thought of as preferable to stockings, as suspender belts can be difficult to put on. Yet the complexity of stockings can be aesthetically appealing. Hold ups are sold in a huge range of different styles which include seamed, fishnet, sheer, opaque, lace and fashion hold ups.
