A bit of history

It is not known exactly who invented the belt for stockings, but this person should have erected a monument. Up to this point, wearing and wearing warm clothes was a real punishment for women. Not only did the lady be pulled into a corset, she also had to tie up the stockings or pull them together with an elastic band, which in no way contributed to proper blood circulation.

Important! Fainting, muscle atrophy, problems with joints are far from a complete list of diseases that literally affected everyone, even those who by nature were in good health.

A belt with stockings allowed to overcome many ailments:

1. It does not compress the body, respectively - a healthy woman does not have breathing problems.
2. Elastic band does not tighten legs and does not interfere with blood circulation.
3. The belt does not interfere with freedom of movement.

It was recently

Oddly enough, a modern girl, thinking how stockings are attached to a belt, may ask her grandmother about this. Of course, the belt from that moment has changed almost beyond recognition, but the principle of handling it has remained the same.

Important! In those years when the grandmother was young, stockings were worn not only by adults, but also by children - both girls and boys. Of course, there were no belts in the children's wardrobe. The child was put on a bra with two buttons in the lower front. A suspender was fastened to the button - for this she had a special eyelet. Children's stockings were cotton or wool, but they were attached to the tightening itself in the same way as for a modern fashionista.

A young lady could wear a belt from the age of thirteen. True, she also bought cotton stockings, only an adult girl could count on kapron stockings - for girls they weren’t released. Unlike a children's bra, not two braces were attached to the belt, but four - two in front and behind. Sometimes elite models came across even with six elastic bands - stockings sat just perfect and never slipped.

Stockings or tights?

Should a modern woman wear stockings? To resolve this issue, carefully read what manufacturers of these products offer. Simple cotton products in the famous "rubber band" you will not find on sale now. Like kapron in a simple mesh or even smooth.

Any model that can be seen on the shelves or in catalogs is almost a masterpiece. These are exquisite gizmos that are hardly worth wearing every day for work, but which can be very good with an evening toilet. Especially if you have a romantic party with very attractive consequences.

What should be the belt?

In any clothes, a woman should feel natural, otherwise - all efforts to look the most charming and attractive will go down the drain. If you are considering how to choose a belt for stockings, keep in mind that he should:

• to be comfortable;
• do not constrain movements;
• do not squeeze the stomach;
• do not move back and forth;
• hold stockings firmly.

How to choose a belt for stockings in size?

To choose a belt for stockings, you need to know at least two measures:

• waist circumference
• hip girth.

Important! The first measurement is more important, since it is rarely possible to find a similar wardrobe item on sale that completely fits the lower body. Most often, this is a rather narrow strip with “caps” for elastic bands, or even without them. So the second measurement may be approximate, so as not to buy something very narrow.

We look at the material

As a rule, elegant fabrics are used for the manufacture of belts - dense or not very. Which option to choose depends on the figure:

• Slender graceful girl can afford a transparent belt.
• On a lady of athletic build, an opaque belt of dense fabric would look better.

Consider and tailor clothing. For a tight evening dress, it is better to buy a tight smooth belt, and if you prefer wide skirts, it can be anything.

Important! In general, for the manufacture of such accessories are used:

• atlas;
• leather;
• vinyl;
• natural or synthetic lace.

 

Number of Erasers

A modern belt can have a very different number of suspenders! The classic version is 4, but it can be 8, or even 12.

It depends on the quantity how elegantly the stocking will fit your leg, so - the more bindings, the better.

Important! It takes some time to fasten or unfasten them, so if you are not very patient, choose the classic version.

Types of Clasps

The fantasy of lingerie designers truly knows no limit, so the question of how to choose a belt for stockings is quite relevant and needs some study.

A classic stocking belt fastens with buttons or hooks. But now a variety of options are possible - from Velcro to lacing. It all depends on in what situations you are going to wear this item. The universal option is hooks, it is suitable for any belt. In addition, this clasp allows you to adjust the width.

As for the clips on the suspenders, they are made of a variety of materials:

• Metal. Metal clips look gorgeous, and stockings hold securely. With a situation where the metal does not behave very well, you are unlikely to come across. There can be only two such cases - severe frost and extreme heat, when a metal touch to the body can cause either frostbite or a burn. But such exquisite accessories are usually not worn in such weather.
• Rubber. Rubber clips do not hold so well, but fastening them is easiest because they can be squeezed slightly.

Important! There are two drawbacks - they do not look as impressive as metal ones, and besides, they age simply from time to time, especially if the rubber is not very high quality.

• Plastic. The most unfortunate option is plastic clips with plastic loops. They quickly fail, and besides, they break down.

What are the stockings held on?

When you are puzzled about how to attach stockings to the clamps, first look at what you have to attach to and whether it is possible to wear stockings with a belt at all. They are attached in two ways:

• on elastic bands to the belt;
• on silicone adhesive tapes.

Important! In the first case, you can’t do without suspenders, the second type of fastening is somewhat akin to what our grandmothers used, only they had thick elastic bands sewn into a ring, and you had modern ribbons. Nevertheless, if you are tormented by the question of how to fasten the belt to silicone stockings, this is possible. You just need to run the fasteners carefully, between the strips of silicone and fix the clamps well.

Choose stockings

It is not difficult to find stockings worn with a belt on the counter. They have one very characteristic detail - the border on top. But take a look at this border! Not so often, it looks just like a strip of denser material.

Most often it is lace, sometimes very intricate.It looks very impressive, and which one to choose depends on your taste and on what kind of clothes you will wear such stockings with.

Important! The lace border looks good even with a short skirt

The size

On sale there are stockings with both a heel and without a heel:

• If there is no heel, in principle, any size is suitable (it is not for nothing that such stockings are made of elastic materials that can stretch well).
• Another thing is stockings with a heel. Too small will tear quickly, a sock of too large will stray into a lump and rub your foot.

Important! Size is indicated by a single digit, from 1 to 5. You need to know your two measurements:

• height;
• the weight.

 

It is not necessary to run to the scales just before going to the store. You need to know the measurements approximately. For example, sizes 2 and 3 are suitable for girls of very different complexions - height from 160 to 175 cm and weight from 55 to 75 kg. These are the most common sizes, so you are most likely not to make a mistake by choosing one of them.

What are stockings made of?

Stocking manufacturers are still using nylon and dederon:

• Nylon products are rarely torn, but they have a lot of shortcomings - they do not fit the leg very well, tend to fold, and are not particularly hygienic.
• Dederon is more elastic, it fits the leg just perfectly, but is worn less.

The ideal option is silk:

• long worn;
• hygienic;
• environmentally friendly;
• perfectly fit the leg;
• pleasant to the body.

Important! They have only one drawback - they cost more than others. But if you are going to wear stockings with an elegant dress - then why not afford such luxury?

Separately or together?

A kit from one manufacturer is always better than choosing a belt for stockings and the stockings themselves separately. Moreover, respectable firms most often offer such options. But this method is suitable for those whose figure is more or less close to the standard.

It may also happen that you like to wear a belt and stockings, and you want to do this all the time. A few kits may seem like overly expensive fun. There may be one belt, but stockings are better to stock up more thoroughly.

Important! The belt, stockings and other underwear should be in harmony with each other.

How to wear stockings with a belt?

And finally, the time has come to try on the belt. Whether the choice was right, you will know right away:

1. Understand which side of the clasp - it should be at the back.
2. Put on the belt so that it fits around the waist.
3. Button the hooks.
4. Analyze your feelings - what is put on you should not put pressure.

Important! Try to rotate the belt - it should not roll over: if it can be easily moved, then it is too wide for you. However, in most modern belts, the width is adjustable, the loops are sewn in three rows.

How to attach suspenders to stockings?

What to wear first? There can be three options:

• belt, then stockings;
• stockings, then a belt;
• attach stockings to elastic bands and put on all together.

If this is your first time doing it, it’s most reasonable to follow the classical order:

1. Put on your underwear.
2. Put on the belt so that the fastener is at the back - now it is very rare to produce such parts fastened on the side or front.
3. Put on the stocking. If there is a seam, it should be strictly behind, in the middle.
4. Adjust the length of the suspenders - it is better if at the moment you fasten them, they will be slightly longer than necessary. Then they can be tightened using the same knob.
5. Put the “button” of the fastener under the rim of the stocking.
6. From above put a loop, pass in it a “button” together with fabric.
7. Hook the remaining braces in the same way.
8. Adjust the length of the elastic bands.
