Stockings are the most popular part of a woman's wardrobe, requiring a meticulous approach in choosing color, size and style. In the Middle Ages, they began to be worn from the age of five. And they were made from silk and velvet, and for the cold season from wool.
Over the years, fashion has improved, and lace models began to appear. Nylon made a real splash in the history of hosiery. This material is easy to manufacture and quite affordable. Nylon products are especially popular in the warm season.
The stockings required special attention from their owners: they had to make sure that they did not slip down and that they fitted the leg without wrinkles. Therefore, the important question has always remained: how to attach stockings.
There are two types of products. The first group includes models fixed to the hips using silicone strips. Products of the second type are attached to a special elegant belt. Let's talk about such models in more detail.
How to combine a belt with stockings
There are several tips when choosing accessories that will help or, conversely, prevent you from getting into uncomfortable situations.
- The wider the belt, the better it sits on the waist and does not slip. And it can hide an “imperfect” tummy. But here it would be more advisable to put panties on top, as it will be more convenient to remove them.
- A narrow belt looks perfect on slender girls and visually lengthens the figure.
- The more holders the belt has, the more securely the stockings will sit on your feet.. There are most often 4 fasteners, but there are models with 6 or 8 holders.
- You need to be more careful when choosing fabric. High-quality fabric will not irritate the skin.
- It makes more sense to buy a belt for stockings first, and then select the rest of the underwear.
When deciding what to buy first, it is better to give preference to a belt with which to choose underwear.
IMPORTANT! If the accessory is lace, then the texture of the linen should match. And vice versa, if the model is made of satin, then the linen should be as simple as possible.
How to choose the right belt
Material
In the hope of choosing a luxurious set that looks elegant on your figure, you need to take a closer look at the material.
In modern boutiques there are models made from the following materials:
- leather;
- cotton is a fiber;
- silk;
- atlas;
- vinyl;
- lace;
- in a mesh.
Landing
Belts come in high and low rise.
They look more elegant when they are high and sit comfortably at the waist. They model the curves of the body no worse than figure-shaping underwear.
According to stylists, vintage and corset stockings with nylon stockings in beige shades are considered the current accessory. Excellent replacement for shapewear.
Color
It is better when the color scheme of the underwear matches the color of the belt. And it would be more appropriate to choose a set that does not stand out either in texture or color under the clothes.
Therefore, think immediately about what outfit to wear to work or to an evening event. You should give preference to panties such as thongs and tangas. Shorts, on the contrary, should be excluded from the set.
The model should be worn comfortably and selected according to size. Fabric that has “digged” into the skin will present the female figure unfavorably.
How to choose stockings for a belt
To choose the correct belt size, it is recommended to take measurements: hip and waist circumference. Refer to the size table for the resulting volumes. The sizes always match the panty sizes.
To prevent the skin on the leg from hanging down and spoiling the aesthetics of the figure, the size of the stockings must be selected carefully. It is marked with numbers from 1 to 6 or with the letters S, M, L, XL.
Along the length of the leg, from the heel, it is marked with numbers from 8.5 to 13.
The elastic bands, to which clip-fasteners are sewn at the ends, should be tight and not stretch too much. Otherwise, they will soon lose their shape.
How to fasten stockings to a belt
Many representatives of the fair half have problems in this matter. But once you get used to it, this problem will disappear after the first use.
- Place the belt around your waist, attach it with hooks using loops so that their location is on the lower back or side.
- Put it on carefully, straightening the stocking from the toe up the leg, without making puffs.
- Place the soft part of the clip under the underside of the stocking.
- Place the wide side of the metal frame over the convex soft part of the fastener protruding through the stocking.
- After this, pull the frame up to fasten the soft clasp with the narrower part of the frame.
- After this, you need to adjust the length of the straps. The straps at the front are adjusted first.Next, place your legs one at a time on a hill and adjust the straps at the back so that they do not hinder the movement of your legs when walking. Stockings should never sag; they should maintain a slight tension.
Important! The lace portions of the stockings should not peek out from under the hem of the skirt.
Features of fastening products of different types
It is difficult to find stockings designed for belts. Most often they are made by branded manufacturers, and they are expensive.
But you can find common models on silicone strips. Their designers designed them for convenience, to avoid painful situations with belts. However, women do not deny the pleasure of feeling seductively fully armed.
Over time, having gotten the hang of it, they skillfully fit stockings with silicone strips under their belts. The main thing is that the fastener does not get on the tight edge with silicone, otherwise it will not hold.
You should also pay attention to the material of the fasteners. Clip-fasteners and length adjusters are made of plastic and metal, the latter being more reliable.
As you can see, creating a harmonious, convenient and comfortable combination is not difficult.
