Bring Back the Stocking! With Stockings and Thigh High Stockings at Stockings Store AlexBlake.com

    LONDON, ENGLAND, August 10, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It's where it all began for hosiery, and yet now it's ignored; pushed to the back of the queue in favour of newer, prettier, more exciting models. We're talking, of course, about the humble stocking - a design so classic it's pretty much the hosiery equivalent of the trench coat, the Chevrolet, the white wine spritzer. And yet now you're ignoring it in favour of flashier variations - patterned sheers, over knee socks et al. Why would you do that to your poor stockings? Go on, take another look at the style that kick started a revolution in legwear...

Stockings teamed with a garter belt are ideal for giving you a look that's a little more glamorous that tights. Of course, if you're worried about the belt being too bulky and showing through close fitting outfits you could always go for thigh high stockings instead which are held up with silicone so you don't need a belt.

If you're after patterns or something different there are loads of options. Seamed stockings are ultra chic and will give you a Mad Men look perfect for flashing your pins in. Or you could be a bit bolder with colored, patterned or fishnet thigh highs - with so many options to choose from we recommend you head over and take a look at the whole collection of fishnet thigh highs.

But stockings are also just great for everyday wear - all year round and for any occasion. Not only could you go for bare leg look thigh highs in the summer months for a "better than bare" look and flawless skin (the Falke Shelina Thigh Highs spring to mind as the perfect choice), but in winter you can switch to cosy wool hold ups like those from Italian brand Levante - top quality AND toasty warm, too!

And while there are tons of black, sheer styles that will see you through the working day in style and comfort, that hot date or big event needs something extra special. Italian brand Oroblu do a great range of stockings and thigh highs with beautiful finishes, like the Oroblu Secret 15 Stockings which are topped with 10cm of pretty French lace. Or perhaps your fancy will be tickled by the Gerbe Silk Stockings, which are made from pure silk yarns for sheer indulgence.
