5 important rules of wearing pantyhose
What could be more feminine than a pair of silky smooth pantyhose? As you’ve probably noticed, not many women wear pantyhose these days. But that doesn’t mean YOU can’t wear them. It’s all about choosing hose that make you look sexy and stylish – not like you stepped out of a time warp from the 80’s.
Follow these 5 pantyhose rules and I guarantee you won’t go wrong:
1. Only wear nude or black pantyhose.
Stick to the basics when it comes to hosiery. Only wear nude or black pantyhose. (Colored tights are a different story. See #5.) For black hose, only wear jet black – not gray-black or brown-black.
2. Go for sheer nude hose that match your skin tone.
The #1 rule for nude hose is to match your skin tone as closely as possible. Don’t even think about “suntan” pantyhose unless that’s your real skin tone! (Come on, who tans their legs only?) The #2 rule is to buy the sheerest hose you can find. Nude hose should be like the foundation you wear on your face: invisible, but enhancing.
3. Wear the best quality hose you can afford.
If you have great legs, show them off in good pantyhose. There’s a big difference between drug store brands and department store brands. High quality hose give your legs a smooth, polished sheen.
4. Coordinate your hose to your shoes.
Wear black hose with black shoes for the most streamlined look. Wear nude hose with brown, metallic, or colored shoes. And remember – NO pantyhose with open toe shoes!
5. Try Tights
Tights are a great alternative to pantyhose – especially when it’s cold out. The pantyhose rules DON’T apply to tights, so experiment with different colors, styles, and textures. Funky tights can totally make an outfit!
