What are Stockings?

According to Cartwright (2018), stockings are close-fitting garments that cover the legs from the foot up to the knee or part of the thighs. The garments vary in color, size, transparency, and design. Hargreaves (2002) states that stockings are specifically meant for ladies. They are worn for different purposes including, alluring, confidence, hygiene, tummy trimming, vintage look, and dressing up. In most cases, they are meant to attract their men for bedroom pleasure. This tells why you should look for something that gives you a sexier look and shows off your curves to give your hot-blooded partner sexual cravings.

Why Wear Stockings?

Men like a mystery, and the stocking serves that purpose. Stockings do not have to be the traditional boring ones to keep our legs warm. There is no hint of sexiness in traditional stockings. There are a variety of stockings in the market that are meant to make the woman seductive. Many stockings are netted to be seductive. When men see the bare skin inside the stockings, it makes their imagination wild. The secret to sexiness is wearing garments that leave little to the imagination. You may wear stockings and hold them up with a suspender, or you could wear stockings with patterns or are of a sexy color. The main idea of stocking in sexuality is to attract and keep the man's attention so that he wants to see more of what is uncovered. The sexier the stocking, the more male attention the woman is likely to get. Note that the legs are the longer limbs, make them stand out more by getting some sexy stockings.

Types of Stockings

Denier Stockings

If you are looking for something opaque to hide your curves, then denier is the perfect stocking to add to your lingerie collection. The garments have emerged as among the most durable stockings in the market. They are thick enough to offer you warmth in cold seasons. You can wear them under your workwear to get pleasure during the day. The use of thick material also allows you to spend a cold night in them. With varied colors, you can pair them with your beautiful heels that match perfectly with your stockings to gain more confidence.

Seamed Stockings

According to McConnell-Sidorick (2017), seamed stockings are made in the old full-fashioned manner with a seam going up the back of legs. You can get them in varied materials, sizes, colors, and designs of heels. The modern design is somehow better than the traditional one which was done by cutting the fabric and sewing together. They are subdivided into three varieties; seamless, sheers, and stocking feet.

Suspender Belt Stockings

Suspender belt stockings have more straps which indicate the amount of comfort they will offer you. These stockings come in different attractive colors and high-quality materials to fit your desires. The straps are adjustable enough to provide room for comfortable movement and enhance confidence. These masterpieces are meant to help you show off your curves to your partner.

Fishnet Stockings

These are knitted stockings with a fish-like wide open knit designed to allow fresh air circulation while it draws your partner’s attention. These stockings are almost the same as fencenet, only that fencenet have wider patterns and can be worn over another stocking.  

Factors to Consider When Buying Stockings

Consider the Thickness

Thicker stockings are known for showing off less skin, but they are strong to last longer and provide warmth. Therefore, if you love showing only a portion of your legs, thicker stockings are the best choice.

Check the Color

According to Walsh et al. (2017), people have different skin tones. Therefore stockings come in varied tones too. Choose the color that matches your skin tone. Also, when you have an event, choose one that reflects it. For example, a wedding deserves a slightly darker stocking.

Look at the Finishing

Stockings with a matte finish are good for reducing volume, while those with a shine finish enhance more volume.

Choose the Best Size

Choose a stocking that fits you perfectly to avoid tight or loose garments that can intimidate you. If you are slim or chubby, go for your size to enhance a stunning look.   

Consider Your Health Condition

If you have problems with varicose veins or blood circulation, avoid too tight stockings for comfortability.

Frequently Asked Questions about Stockings?

Are there Plus Size Stockings?

For a long time, fashion only focused on model-like figures, the standard size 33-23-33. Stockings were therefore meant for the slimmer woman. The plus-sized women have suffered for a long time in the fashion world as manufacturers avoid making fabrics for plus-sized women because they take up too much fabric to make. On the other hand, when the manufacturers finally started making stockings for the plus-sized lady, the plus-sized woman avoided buying them because they were expensive. In recent times there are many stockings in the market for women of all sizes because the manufacturers have realized that more women, their body sizes notwithstanding, are investing in stockings. There are plus-sized stockings everywhere nowadays.

Soak Them

Add gentle detergent to a water basin and soak the stockings for 30 minutes. Rinse well in room-temperature water until the water in which you rinse them last is no longer soapy. Do not wring the stockings because if you do, you will mess up the shape of the stocking.

Can You Wear Stockings Without Suspenders?

You can wear stockings without suspenders. However, it depends on what role the suspenders are meant to play. If the suspenders are meant to hold stockings that are likely to go down if not held up, the stockings will need suspenders. If the stockings have an elastic opening at the endings, they can stay up, and the suspenders are meant to give the stockings a kinky look. The suspenders are not necessary, but they are needed for the kinkiness.
