DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TIGHTS AND STOCKINGS

Although at first glance they may seem similar, there are significant differences between them in terms of design, construction and functionality. We tell you what characterizes each type of garment, so you can choose the most suitable option for you.

SOCKS

Stockings are the pioneers, having existed since the 12th century. They have evolved over time (from wool to nylon) and cover feet and legs up to mid-thigh. They provide greater freedom of movement and give a very feminine touch to your looks.

We can find them from basic to printed or with garter at the top.

PANTIS

Nowadays, pantyhose are the most used because of their adaptability to the looks, they cover from the feet to the belly, and provide us with functionality and security.

We can find them in different colors and prints, and in different thicknesses and finishes. As well as the innovative reducing pantyhose.

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING STOCKINGS OR TIGHTS?

When buying stockings or tights, we recommend you to follow the following tips for a better choice:

• Depending on your skin tone, you will need to choose a color that suits it. We recommend choosing a higher grade to highlight your look.
• Fantasy: if you want a more daring look, we recommend printed pantyhose for the most original and risky ones.
• Shine: the more shine you have in your tights or stockings, the more you will highlight the volume of your silhouette.

• Thin (less than 20 deniers): we recommend them for spring looks and to unify your skin tone.
• Thick (more than 60 deniers): we recommend them for winter looks or low temperatures, they reduce the volume and do not show your natural skin tone.

However, if what worries you is, beyond the thickness of the stocking, that they survive nights and parties where dancing, possible snags and tears put their survival at risk, we recommend you to opt for unbreakable stockings. Their technology makes them incredibly resistant to runs and tears.

CHOOSE YOUR STOCKING OR PANTYHOSE ACCORDING TO THE OCCASION.

• Tight-fitting looks: for tight-fitting looks we recommend slimming stockings as they define the figure and stylize to the maximum.
• Long dresses: in these looks we can use either tights or stockings depending on your preferences, stockings will give you more functionality and tights more freedom of movement.
• Skirts/shorts: we recommend using tights, and if you dare, fancy tights to wear more original and groundbreaking looks.
