Styling Tips

The tips of a luxurious & sophisticated seductress

FASHION

With fashion’s return to old-fashioned class and glamour, sheers have resurged as the perfect finishing touch to any sophisticated outfit.

OFFICE ETIQUETTE
Bare legs in the office is a professional no!  Sheers are light weight but give enough coverage to make your legs look flawless while keeping you cool under any professional pressure.

SHEER STYLING
For natural shades wear a colour that matches your skin tone or is slightly darker. Skintones can give legs an all year healthy ‘summer’ glow. Black always looks elegant and has a slimming effect for the legs.  Nearly Blacks can also be very flattering and are often more versatile to wear than true black. To enhance legs try a deep bronze such as Passion or Lust.

STAY UP FINESSE
Stay Ups are a great alternative to traditional pantyhose.  They are similar to stockings but do not require a suspender belt.  Instead they have a silicon backed band which holds the legs in place.  Cooler & definitely very sexy, Stay Ups are a stylish way to achieve great looking legs.

TREND de JOUR
Sheers are forecasted to be the ‘new’ opaque for summer with a strong presence on the international runways this season. Shiny sheers are for legs that demand to be noticed! A shine leg adds definition, drawing attention to your legs giving a flawless radiant finish.

PAMPERING
Of course there is always a good reason for pampering yourself but even more so with hosiery. Having regular pedicures & manicures and moisturising hands before putting on stockings can help prevent laddering. Using a washbag to launder your hosiery is also a good idea - leave your stockings in the bag to dry too and it will mean they won’t get caught up with clothing pegs and snag.  

How to put on your sheers

Sheers must be treated with care.  It is no good to just place your toe in the opening and PULL! By following these 5 simple steps you’ll create a smooth, even denier coverage over your whole leg and ensure lasting wear.


1. Remove all jewellery and check fingernails and toes for rough edges that can cause the sheers to snag

2. Concertina a sheer leg in your hands so that only the foot is unrolled.

3. Place over your foot, then using even pressure and keeping the thumbs inside the sheers, gradually roll up the leg to the thigh.

4. Repeat on the other leg

5. Delicately pull the brief up to the waist and smooth

* Remember to take off your sheers just as carefully as you put them on
