Lingerie & Different Styles
What is lingerie? Well “lingerie” means undergarments or sleepwear—and usually, styles that are a little fancier than your typical, everyday essentials. But there’s a whole lot of different elements to lingerie and its good to know them if you’re shopping. Chemise or camisole? Bustier or corset? What’s the difference, anyhow? We aim to help you understand and make a better informed decision before making a purchase.
Body Stocking
Wearing a Bodystocking as part of your lingerie wardrobe may be new to you. But fans of this sexy attire love this garment for a lot of reasons. They are sensuous, stretchy and super sexy.
What is a body stocking?
A body stocking is very special piece of sexy lingerie that’s usually one piece that covers your entire body. This hosiery doesn’t show as much bare skin, but it’s still incredibly alluring. Body stockings are also flattering because they don’t hide an inch of your hotness. Your curves are on display, yet also concealed. This attracts the eye and makes anyone watching you want to get closer.

Understanding the terminology
Women’s tights are close fitting garments that cover the feet, legs, hips, and buttocks, and also slim the figure visually when they are worn in certain colours. Wearing tights has many benefits, including smoothing the legs, providing warmth, and hiding cellulite and blemishes. They are also used as a styling accessory for skirts and dresses. There are sexy fishnet tight if you want to show off your legs, as well as colourful prints for experimenters, and classic black opaque tights for an everyday look or glossy for that little bit of stand out.
The selection of tights available today is vast and they vary by colour, denier, and style. The denier determines which weather conditions the tights are most suitable for. Thick, opaque tights keep the legs warm in the winter, while sheer tights complement summer dresses.
The Denier of Tights & stockings
One of the key features of tights is the denier. By definition, denier is a unit of weight used for determining the fineness or thickness of the tights. The lower the denier value, the more fragile and sheer the tights are. For example 10 denier and under are very sheer tights/ or stockings and you need to be sure you don’t have any snagging nails because you will catch them immediately and ladder them.
Ultra Sheer Tights
Ultra sheer tights have a denier value of under 10 and they are used to create the bare leg look. These tights hide light skin blemishes and flaws, and keep the legs cool during the summer. Many ultra sheer tights come with sheer toes, so that they can be worn with sandals.
Sheer Tights
Sheer tights are in the range of 10-20 denier and are a little bit stronger than ultra sheer tights. Matte sheer tights can be worn in the summer for a natural look and shiny sheer tights for fancier occasions. Sometimes sheer tights have sheer toes and sandal toes, so they can be worn with peep toe shoes or strappy sandals.
Semi Opaque Tights
Semi opaque tights have a denier of 21-40 and still look natural, but they are more durable and won’t snag as easy as sheer and sheer tights/stockings, however they will not give the effect that a sheer pair of stockings will give. Semi opaque tights are great on autumn and spring days when a woman needs some coverage, but still wishes to have a natural look.
Opaque Tights
Opaque tights are in the range of 41-69 denier and offer good coverage. Opaque tights are good for when it gets chilly outside, for example, in early spring or late autumn. They are also available in many colours and can transform an outfit.
Thick Opaque Tights
With the denier value of 70-99, thick opaque tights keep the legs warm during the winter and provide full coverage. Thick opaque tights allow a woman to wear skirts and dresses even when it is cold outside. If cared for, these tights last for many years because of their thickness. The thickness also accentuates the colour of the tights and gives the legs a clear outline.
Extra Thick Opaque Tights
When the winter temperatures get very cold, then a pair of extra thick opaque tights are ideal. They have a denier of over 100. They provide full coverage and the thickness ensures that the colour is strong.
Main Features of Tights
Tights may look like simple garments, but there are many features to consider when you are looking into buying a pair. They come with different finishes, waistbands, gussets, briefs, and toes.
Finish of Tights
The finish describes the amount of shine that the tights have. Matte tights have no shine and are suitable for conservative outfits when you do not want to draw too much attention to your legs. Slight sheen tights have a touch of shine without being overwhelming, and therefore bring elegance to ‘day’ wear outfits. Shiny tights have an obvious shine and define the shape of your legs as the light reflects off them. Very shiny tights have a high gloss and highlight the legs more than any other finish, making them perfect for parties. These terms may vary by manufacturer; however, the concept of different finishes remains the same.
Waistband of Tights
A regular waistband ends level with the navel. For women who like to wear hipster skirts, then a hipster waistband is available that sits low on the hips. Tights with high waistband, on the other hand, end somewhere below the bra line and are usually in the form of shapewear designed to trim the stomach and bottom. They create a smooth appearance in the midsection.
Gusset of Tights
The gusset is a piece of thicker fabric sewn into the tights in order to strengthen them and is placed in the area between the legs. Some tights do not have a gusset and have the same thickness throughout. An open gusset defines a hole in the tights that offers better breathability. There are also hold ups, which have no gusset. They are like a cross between stockings and socks and stay up due to their elasticated tops and a silicone band.
Toes of Tights
The type of toes that the tights have determines what kind of shoes are worn with them. The sheer toe has the same fabric as the rest of the tights and works well with strappy sandals, while the sandal toe has barely visible reinforcement and looks good with peep toe shoes. Open toes let the toes breathe as there is no fabric covering them. The most visible toe type is the reinforced toe and is known for its durability. It can be worn with court shoes, but not sandals.
Choosing the Colour
While sheer tights correspond to the range of skin tones to give a natural look, opaque tights are available in many colour’s that allow room for a woman to experiment. The classic black is for all occasions, and can be worn with day wear and evening wear. More daring colour’s can be matched with the rest of an outfit carefully. Remember that the colour draws attention to the legs, so requires a wise choice.
Skin Tone Tights
The rule for sheer, skintone is that the tone should match the skin or be a shade darker. When there is too big a difference between the two tones, the result looks unnatural. Skin tone tights are perfect with colorful summer outfits and formal wear.
Black Tights
Black tights go well with most outfits, especially darker clothing. Black tights make the legs look slimmer and can have a classy and elegant look to them. However, when combined with an eye-catching dress or skirt they create a refreshing and fashionable look, and allow the featured item to have prominence in the outfit. Women with a light skin tone should be aware that black tights could make them look paler than they are, while those with darker skin tones are flattered by black tights.
Dark Coloured Tights
Brown tights have a similar effect to black tights. However, when compared to black tights, they are warmer in colour, look good with other autumnal colour’s, and are slightly less slimming. Navy blue create a sophisticated look and work well for both dark and light skin tones. The best colour’s to pair with navy tights are navy itself, as well as grey and silver.
Vibrant Coloured Tights
Vibrant blue tones on tights create a trendy look, but should be worn with care. The rest of the outfit should be in calmer tones, otherwise the look is too busy. Bright yellow, orange, and red tones are used for fashion tights that really make a statement. That being said, be wise when opting for these tones, as the rest of the outfit should be chosen carefully and be in more conservative colour’s unless a wild look is desired. The most versatile colour of these bright tones is red, as it matches many outfits. Bright-coloured tights are suitable for any skin tone.
