How do hold up stockings stay in place?

There’s no need for a suspender belt – it's all about the silicone grip at the top of the hold ups. ​​These silicone bands create a gentle, yet effective grip on the thighs, preventing any unwanted slipping. This means they provide a secure fit and look great all day long.

Can hold ups be worn to formal occasions?

Hold ups are perfect for formal occasions. Nothing beats a classy gown or sleek cocktail dress paired with lace or sheer hold ups - it’s a subtle yet powerful style move. You get that extra touch of sophistication without the hassle of a garter belt, and also avoid being too hot or bothered, which can be the case with traditional tights. Plus, they're comfy enough for you to hit the dance floor with confidence! So, whether it's a fancy wedding, a chic party, or a classy dinner, stay-ups can be your secret weapon for an elegant and hassle-free outfit. 

Why wear hold ups over traditional tights?

Hold ups can offer you a little more comfort and breathability as they don’t have a waistband and there’s no fabric around your crotch like there would be with traditional tights. Hold up stockings are great for keeping your hosiery in check without the need for inconvenient adjustments. They can be a total game changer for busy days or nights out. Hold-ups are more versatile for skirts, dresses, or even shorts, and pair beautifully with heels for elongated legs. It's comfort, style, and a touch of practical magic all rolled into one legwear option!

How should I style hold up stockings?

For everyday chic, pair lace top hold ups with a cute denim skirt -  the lace detail will add a fun, flirty vibe. For the office, try classic navy, nude, or black shiny hold-ups with a pencil skirt or tailored pants for a subtle power move. For romantic date nights, opt for pretty lace or fishnet hold ups with a dress for sophisticated yet sexy style. Feeling a little edgy? Try bold patterned hold ups with a neutral black, nude or white dress for instant drama and high fashion. 

Do I need to wear a longer skirt with hold ups?

There are no rules when it comes to wearing hold ups. Whether you’re wearing them with a mini, midi or maxi skirt or dress, hold up stockings add style and dimension to your outfit. Experiment with lace top hold ups with a mini skirt for a flirtatious look, or try classic sheer or shiny hold ups with a midi or maxi dress for understated elegance. Any dress length that fits your mood and style can be paired with hold ups - they add to your outfit in the best possible way.

How Should I Wash Hold Ups

To protect your hold ups for longevity, we recommend hand washing them in cold water and with mild detergent to avoid disturbing the material which will make them more likely to snag. Gently rub the material with your fingertips to clean the fabric and then carefully pat them dry in a clean towel. Avoid wringing or twisting, as this may ruin the elasticity of your hold ups. Lay your hold ups on a dry towel or soft surface to air dry for a few hours or overnight as using a dryer may damage the delicate material.
