Tall boots gained wide popularity many years ago, but still remain one of the most popular footwear styles. Girls skillfully combine this style in their outfits, combining them with almost any style.
During use, many are faced with the main problem: stocking boots begin to slide off their thighs. You can cope with this yourself, in a short period of time. We'll tell you what to do if your stocking boots slip down.
Methods to protect stocking boots from slipping
Suturing the boot
With prolonged use, the boot material begins to lose its elasticity and becomes deformed. This leads to the fact that the stocking begins to roll and slide down, forming an unsightly accordion.
In this case, you can contact specialists at the studio to alter the area of the boot top.
This method is quite expensive and can affect material costs. You can solve the problem yourself using several methods.
Attached to clothing
Most boots of this style are equipped with additional loops that allow you to secure the product on your feet. You can make such loops yourself.
Small buttons are sewn to trousers or jeans, and small loops are sewn to the edge of the boot on the wrong side, on the lining.
When used, the buttons are fastened to the eyelets, which helps secure the shoes tightly to the feet.
Using an elastic band
The loops can also be replaced with elastic. It should fit snugly, but not too tightly, around your leg. When using, put on the elastic band first, and then the boot itself. The elastic band will support the shoes when walking, which will prevent the boots from slipping.
Important! This option is suitable for shoes on which the lock does not go through the entire product.
Fixing with tape
Double-sided body tape is one of the practical and convenient options. The material is glued to the back of the stocking.
When using boots, you need to press it firmly against your foot to fix the tape not only on the shoes, but also on the trousers. The adhesive tape will prevent the stocking from slipping during wear.
Reference: The duration of double-sided tape depends on the material of the boot and trousers or tights.
Scotch tape can be replaced with anti-slip tape. It is sold in handicraft stores. A wide strip of tape is sewn on the wrong side in the area of the boot top. The fleecy and rough surface of the material will help fix the stockings on the leg.
Using wire
Metal wire or plastic insert are considered the most crazy but effective methods.
On the wrong side, under the lining, the selected material is sewn. It should be positioned vertically, along the entire height of the product.
When walking, a wire or plastic insert will hold the stockings in place, preventing them from slipping off the leg.
How to wear stocking boots without them slipping down
The location and possible slipping of stocking boots also depends on the correct outfit.
- In most cases, the cause is improperly selected tights. Stylists recommend wearing tights made of thick material under stockings. A big advantage would be the presence of a pattern or ornament on the tights.
- Nylon material has good slip, so the boots will slip.
Reference: Many manufacturers produce tights from a special material that is non-slip. When purchasing, it is recommended to pay attention to such products.
- A similar rule applies to leggings and trousers. If they are made of smooth material, the stockings will actively roll down. It is recommended to choose products that are sewn using dense and non-slip materials.
- The choice of jeans should also be approached with caution. Nowadays jeggings, a combination of jeans and leggings, are very popular. When sewing them, sliding and elastic materials are used. During wear, stockings quickly slip off from such products. Therefore, when choosing an outfit, it is better to choose jeans made of natural, dense materials with an anti-slip fabric texture.
- A smart alternative would be to wear boots on bare feet. Many fashion designers produce summer versions of stockings that are suitable for hot weather. The products are tightly fixed on the naked body and do not slip when walking.
Tip: many girls faced with a similar problem recommend wearing jeans or loose-fitting trousers (or bell-bottoms) over boots.
This will help hide the slipping of the products and hide the resulting folds. This option is only suitable if the boots slide down literally a few centimeters, and do not roll down to the ankle.
Stocking boots quickly gained recognition among fashionistas and became widely used. When using them, many girls encounter a problem when the boots suddenly begin to slide down their feet. It’s easy to cope with this situation on your own using a few simple recommendations.
