Small details. A better fit.
Use the size chart supplied with the actual product. Height, leg length and thigh measurements may matter as much as a usual clothing size.
Know the construction
Hold-ups use grip bands; traditional stockings may need a suspender belt. Check the specific construction rather than assuming all thigh-high styles stay up on their own.
Put them on gently
Before putting on hosiery, remove sharp jewellery and check nails. Gather the stocking toward the toe, position it carefully and ease the fabric upward without pulling at the top.
Care for the fabric
Follow the product’s care label. Where hand washing is recommended, use cool water and mild detergent. Avoid wringing or direct heat, and store away from zips and hooks.
Understanding denier
Denier describes yarn weight, not a guaranteed level of opacity or durability. Compare the actual product information before deciding.
