Nylon Stockings - Look for the Real Thing!

Nylon stockings are not to be mistaken for pantyhose! True stockings need a garter belt to hold them up. Unlike pantyhose, there is no panty attached to a real pair of stockings. And, if they are made of 100% nylon, let me tell you, they will feel GREAT!

Nylon was introduced in 1938 and is the first and oldest of the true synthetics. Just the word NYLON holds seductive power to it. Stockings, which you may also hear being called nylons or tights, can be either be made of 100% nylon or a mix of nylon, spandex and/or other fibres. If shopping for nylons, this is where it is important to do your homework because there is a big difference in feel of the different fibres.

sexy, sheer stockings

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to put down panty hose, they also hold their importance, but sheer stockings held up by a garter not only feel good but they are downright sexy. If you are looking to purchase very sheer nylon stockings, then you must look for a low denier count. Denier is probably the biggest consideration when shopping for stockings and pantyhose. Denier is the sheerness of the yarn and is expressed as a number range from 3 (extremely rare, very thin, barely visible) to 20 (standard sheer) up to 30 (semi opaque). Evening Sheers are made of 10 to 15 denier yarn. These are usually worn for special occasions and will often have a satin finish.

There is no doubt that sexy sheer nylons will underline the beauty of your legs and different colors of nylons can help create discrete effects such as:

• Sheer stockings that match the skin color of your legs will enhance the appearance of your legs, making them look smoother.
• Darker or black stockings can enhance the legs by outlining the shape and by making the legs seem slimmer.
• Brown colored pantyhose give the illusion of tanned legs.
  
  

However, wearing gartered stockings seems to be a thing of the past. Today's society dress more casual and a lot of women love just go au natural. But still those that do wear gartered stockings project class and elegance. That alone should be reason enough to want to wear a pair on those special occasions at least.
