How to choose women’s stockings and tights

Stockings, like tights, are an indispensable item in a woman’s wardrobe. They make women’s legs slender, graceful, but also, of course, sexy. Therefore, it is so important to make the right choice, otherwise wearing stockings can lead to discomfort and eternal gain.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the size of the stockings. Each package has a pre-written size chart. The horizontal line indicates the woman’s weight, and the vertical line indicates the woman’s height. Therefore, to make the right choice, you need to stock up on scales and a meter. Having decided on your values, you need to find them on the packaging and on the intersection line, the required size will be indicated. But it is also worth paying attention: if the numbers are on the border, then it is better to make a larger choice.

Dimensions

Stockings are divided into short S, those that go to the knee; the average M-height of such gongs varies from eight to ten centimeters above the knee; The long L-like look reaches mid-thigh. Therefore, when deciding to buy one of the types of stockings, a woman needs to take into account the characteristics of her legs: fullness, thinness and length. Knowing how to choose the right size of stockings, you next need to decide on their model. First of all, the choice must be made based on the place for which they are intended.

For everyday wear, it is best to choose stockings with an elastic band, which are additionally secured with a belt. You can also buy stockings with silicone inserts, but this option is better suited for women with full legs; on thin legs they will always slide down. In both cases, the elastic band is the main component. It should be dense, soft and not end. If the elastic has a broken line, then such stockings will fall off, especially if the leg gets sweaty.

Color range

In terms of colors, flesh-colored or transparent stockings remain popular. The black color of stockings perfectly corrects full legs, making them slimmer, and thin legs will appear even thinner in appearance. Therefore, owners of such legs can choose black stockings with different colored seams on the back of the leg or a fine mesh model. In addition, owners of full legs are not recommended to buy stockings with a large pattern, as it will only make the volume heavier.

And also when purchasing, you need to take into account your age categories. Middle-aged ladies are not recommended to buy colored stockings; the classic plain version is more suitable for them. But for young girls you can buy colored tights, models with various decorations, designs and patterns. It is better to leave all bright shades and decorations with rhinestones for intimate meetings. Stockings made of silk, lace and large mesh would also be appropriate here.

stockings, like tights, have different densities for all seasons. In summer and for evening outings, it is recommended to buy the thinnest stockings with values ​​from 6 to 15 deniers, but in spring and autumn it is better to choose thicker options, from 20 to 40 deniers. For winter, manufacturers made stockings from wool and cotton. In the color range they are presented in only two types: black and gray.

The next stage of selection is the composition of the product. The more lycra contained in the composition, the better the stocking will fit on the leg. But this does not mean that elasticity will depend on the amount of lycra. Yes, such stockings will stretch, but within reasonable limits. Therefore, first of all, you need to choose the right size.

Having bought the stockings you like, before you go out, you first need to make sure that they fit perfectly and do not peek out from under your clothes. To do this, you can sit on a chair in front of a mirror and carefully look around to see if the edges are peeking out from under your clothes. The same goes for stockings with a belt. In no case should it confuse the movement of the body and also should not peek out. Then you need to walk around the room, bend down, sit down, in order to once again make sure that the stockings fit well and do not fall off.
