Silk Stockings and Nylons
Ranked #605 in Fashion & Beauty, #10,970 overall
Stockings, silk or nylon represent true femininity
In recent years the miriad of gorgeous products now available for our delight is almost mind boggling! One can feel like a child in a candy store.
How thrilling that Silk Stockings have started to make a comeback. The real mccoy, so devine and should be in every womans stocking drawer. I belive that silks are actually slightly more robust and durable than regular nylons. I know some women are a little reluctant to purchase some of the more sumptuous offerings fearing that the tinnyest little slip or catch from a less than perfectly manicured finger nail could ruine them. Although, one would have to be fairly reckless to cause a ladder with a damaged nail, the fact is, one's nails really must be kept in tip top condition, it's the only way to avoid damage to ones treasured leg wear.
Super smooth legs. How can anything beat the feel of high quality silk or nylon on one's legs?

Denier rating: What's it all about?
Stockings for different seasons and differing degrees of coverage
In connection with the denier rating, the following terms are used as an guide to material density or thickness: sheer, ultra sheer and opaque.
Stockings or tights with a rating under 10 denier are referred to as 'Ultra sheer'. These are good for a virtual nude or stocking-less leg look. Also near invisible with revealing footwear such as sandals.
Sheer stockings with a 10 to 20 denier rating are ideal for summer use as they can give a stunning look and finish without feeling too hot on nice sunny days. A popular choice available in a huge choice of colours and finishes but. A it stronger than the lower denier rating.
Semi Opaque stockings or tights with a denier rating of between 20 and 40 are of course a little thicker in weave and correspondingly stronger. This standard can provide a little more camouflage for some skin blemishes and / or thread veins, etc but anything less than minor will possibly still be visible through the stocking.
For those who require their stockings or tights to be more visible and to present more of an effect or colour to the leg, denier ratings of 40 to 70 will be appropriate. These are known as Opaque and will give your legs really good coverage and will have the ability to conceal any moderate skin blemishes.
Stockings and tights with a denier rating of 70 to 99 are considered to be Thick Opaque. Generally, they provide complete covering for the legs and as such do not allow natural skin tone to show through. A brilliant choice for winter wear as they do trap in good warmth and protect from cool winds also. A most durable option.
Denier ratings over 100 are super thick and are close to wearing leggings - a good choice if the preferred attire is a skirt or dress when temperatures really fall
Choosing Stockings and getting it right for your particular needs!
There are some basic facts to consider in order to get the result you really want from your stockings!
It is important to check each of the styles you like the look of for sizing before you take the plunge to buy as this can vary. Stocking sizing can be based on your regular dress size (example size 12), or... maybe a little on the vague side so you really will need to study the options provided carefully. It can be based on Your Height and can be quite specific so you may even need to have your assistant or partner measure you in this respect. Other sizing may be a little less accurate and you may need to give it your best calculated guesse for the particular brand.
Something else to consider is how the Stocking Tops will work in relation to distance from the knee. Take a look at the image below to see how stocking top position and depth has a bearing on the potential for visibility in regards to dress length. Obviously, if showing or flirting a little stocking top is your bag, you may wish to opt for a design with larger and or lower placement of this all important top band. With such glorious products now available, you can blatantly see that some brands have put a great deal of time into developing a stocking (stocking top) which is way more than functional. So, the stocking top is not there simply to attach your suspenders.
Another point to consider is in regard to your chosen suspender belt. Many of the simple and budget 4 strap varieties have long suspender straps but conversely, some of the more exotic 6 or 8 strap varieties may have fairly short suspender clips meaning the stocking would need to sit closer to the base of the buttocks.
