Shiny stockings for women
Most glossy stockings are created with Nylon, a material which was invented in 1930 by a scientist named Julian Hill. In 1940 the first stocking was created and were an instant hit. Nylon is a silky smooth thermoplastic, that’s strong and durable, which is also waterproof and fast drying, making it the perfect material for light weight coverage that's durable. The nylon is then put into a knitting machine that pulls together hundreds of nylon threads to weave the stocking.
Shiny stockings offer a stunning glossy finish on the legs, allowing your legs to look naturally flawless all year round. Our collection of glossy stockings are available in a variety of deniers, colours and styles meaning you can take your pick from top hosiery brands such as Miss Naughty, Cecilia de Rafael and Couture. One of our favourite glossy stockings that provides a glistening finish is the Pearl & Poseidon Dominique Oil Shine Stockings. These super shiny hold up stockings are 20 denier and feature a comfortable plain top band available in 6 different colours, allowing you to transform your outfits no matter what colour palette you choose!
Skin Coloured Stockings
Skin coloured stockings are a wardrobe essential, whether you need a pair to partner with workwear, dress up an evening outfit or to complete a sexy date night look! Due to their natural finish, skin colour hold up stockings can create a flawless look on the legs, covering imperfections and offering an airbrushed look. We recommend Miss O Silky Stockings as these glossy stockings give your legs a healthy glow - pair them with a skirt and top to give a polished finish to your look as the silky yarns cover up unwanted blemishes or imperfections.
The Cecilia de Rafael Vidrio Shiny Stockings are our latest addition, they are made from high-quality yarns for an ultra shiny look. If you’re looking for leg perfecting and a high shine stocking then these are the ones for you. Currently available in three different shades: black, natural and moreno (which is a natural tan colour) and in plus sizes up to XL.

To protect the quality of your stockings, it’s best to hand wash them rather than machine wash them. Use cold to lukewarm water with a mild detergent as this is less damaging to the delicate materials of your stockings. Pat dry your stockings instead of using a dryer as the heat can ruin the elasticity of your stockings. We recommend leaving your stockings on a dry towel or soft surface to air dry for a couple of hours or overnight if needed.
Stockings stay up by their design technique of added elastic bands or silicone grips. The elastic band, usually found at the top of the stockings, helps them cling comfortably to your thighs without slipping down. It's like a little magic - the combination of elastic and silicone keeps them in place, so you can strut your stuff with confidence. Stocking accessories like suspender belts also help prevent your stockings from slipping down and are great for when you wear stockings all day long like for work or events. Just make sure to avoid applying moisturizer or oils to your skin before wearing them, as it can reduce the grip and make them more prone to slipping
