Sexy Stockings And Thigh Highs: Must Have Womens Hosiery

Fashion and style trends are ever changing and thigh highs are no different. Skip over old school womens hosiery and slip into thigh highs. Many people may not know that hosiery products haven’t been around for too long. Nylon was invented in the 1930’s by scientists–They couldn’t imagine then to what we do with womens hosiery now. Also known as stay-ups, these stockings are known for the band of elastic sewn to the top, which is designed to hold the stocking up when worn. They lost popularity back in the 1960s when the advent of panty hose made stockings of all types and styles available. As skirts became shorter, women were a bit turned off by garters, which were often necessary to hold these stockings in place. Thigh highs are different from other stockings and considered lingerie rather than covering for feet and legs.
