How to wear stockings

Stockings are a must-have item for women. Wearing stockings can improve a person's skin color and enhance a person's temperament. At the same time, it can also cover up some imperfections in a woman's leg skin, allowing one to instantly have a pair of beautiful legs. However, wearing stockings is not an easy task. You need to master certain methods, otherwise it will affect the service life of the stockings. Below I will introduce to you in detail how to wear stockings!

1. Wearing steps

When putting on stockings, you should use your thumb as the center and fold the stockings from the thigh to the toes; then gently pull both feet up from the toes to the thighs. To achieve the best fit when wearing, the soles of both feet should be flat on the ground, then gently pull on the stockings, making sure every part of the legs is completely fit. Then use both hands to pull up to the buttocks with equal force, and make sure that every part of the buttocks is completely flat.

The specific steps are:

1. Polish your fingernails smooth, otherwise they will scratch your stockings. Stockings are very thin and light. Even the most snag-proof socks can still be damaged if there are hooks on your nails.

2. Polish your toenails smooth and keep the skin of your feet smooth. It is best to apply skin cream on both hands and feet.

3. Take the stockings out of the package, align the front and back and start putting them on. It is best to wear it while sitting on a bed or chair, and avoid wearing it while standing.

4. Use your hands to roll up the stockings flatly from the waistband to the toes until the toes are in the correct position. Put the stockings on your feet, starting from the toes, and loosen them little by little, without letting them get loose, until you reach your ankles.

5. Adjust the toe of the sock and the heel to make the sock fit the leg comfortably.

6. Follow the same steps to put on the other sock and the other foot up to the ankle; then alternate between slowly pulling up and releasing both sides to prevent the sock from being snagged.

7. Wear the stockings to the knees. Don't be in a hurry when putting on the socks. Put them on at a steady speed. This will prevent uneven color on your legs after wearing.

8. Stand up, slowly pull and release both sides alternately until the back of the thigh.

9. Wear the stockings evenly to the waist. After making sure that the stockings fit tightly against the legs without any gaps, use both hands to open the trouser body and pull it up to the waist.

10. Slightly adjust the sock legs. If the socks have patterns, align them with the patterns.

11. After putting on, gently pull the toe part to make the elasticity more evenly distributed and more comfortable to wear. If you feel the crotch of your pants is not long enough, take them off and put them on again instead of just pulling them up.

2. Matching skills

Different colors of stockings should be worn on different occasions, such as:

Social occasions: It is appropriate to wear gray-toned stockings. Burgundy, black, gray, and purple will make you look dignified, noble, and calm.

Entertainment venues: It is suitable to wear bright colors to express yourself. Bright orange, lemon yellow, and aqua green are personal choices.

Workplace: Wear dark-colored stockings. Silver-gray, dark blue, and black will make you appear calm and intelligent.

Family gatherings: Light colors are very popular. Light pink, pearl white, light yellow and sky blue can all help adjust your mood.

Sports occasions: Choose bright colors, red, white and yellow to make you look energetic.

3. Maintenance Tips

Before wearing new stockings, put them together with the packaging in the freezer for more than 24 hours, then take them out directly. After natural thawing, the low temperature will change the chemical properties of the nylon thread, greatly improving its durability, and it will be less likely to unravel when worn.

When socks are untied, you can use transparent nail polish to apply it on the edge of the hole. After the nail polish dries, it can prevent further unraveling and cover up the blemishes.

When washing, use warm water at about 30 degrees to wash by hand. Wash gently and do not rub vigorously. Use neutral detergent and avoid using bleaching or colored detergents. If machine washing, please use a laundry bag. First, avoid entanglement with other clothes and damage to the elasticity of stockings. Second, avoid buckles and chains on clothing and damage to stockings.

Silk stockings are easy to dry, so there is no need to wring them hard after washing to avoid breaking the fibers. Dry in a cool and ventilated place, avoid exposure to sunlight to prevent the fabric from oxidation, brittleness and damage.

Stockings are not resistant to high temperatures. It is best to change your stockings when working in the kitchen to prevent high-temperature objects such as stoves and ovens from deforming and shrinking the stockings, thus affecting their wear.
