Stockings are a women's right of passage. When you've reached the maturity level where you have earned the right to incorporate sexy lingerie into your wardrobe, it has to be done right. Sloppy, ill-fitting lingerie isn't going to turn on your significant other, and you're certainly not going to feel your best either. Here are a few tips to ensure you and your stockings have a healthy, happy life together.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Stockings in your size!
  1. Step 1

    First of all, purchase stockings that fit. Whether you are looking into thigh-high or full coverage stockings, you have to pay attention. For thigh-high stockings, pay particular attention to whether or not the tops are elasticized. If they are, you've got it made. Some have a thick band of lace or some other detail to keep from concentrating all the pressure from the elastic in one thin strip around your thigh. If they are not, you will want to invest in a garter belt. The clips that hang from the garter belt will allow you to comfortable position the height of your stockings to keep them in place. For stockings that come to your waist or higher, you want to pay attention to the size. A lot of stockings will come as "One Size Fits All", but check it out to make sure.

  2. Step 2

    Your next concern should be the fabric. Some people have a serious allergy to certain materials, such as nylon and polyester. It may not affect you with other types of clothing, but stockings are literally skin tight so you don't want to develop a rash for the sake of style.

  3. Step 3

    Now the fun part: the color and design. The possibilities are endless. You could wear bright, bold colors, or fun prints with stripes and polka dots. But if you're looking to exude sex appeal, you'll probably want to stay away from these choices. The classic black lace or fishnet is always good, as are the white varieties. For the most part, white stockings are viewed as bridal wear, but it's your life - do with it what you will!

  4. Step 4

    If you thought the only key to wearing sexy stockings was to just own a pair, you're dead wrong. You can't just slap a pair on and hope for the best. There's a talent to properly dressing yourself in stockings. The best way that I've found to slip into a pair of waist-high stockings is to scrunch each leg with your hands all the way to the toe (taking care not to snag the material with any hangnails!) and slide it onto your leg up to the knee, then repeat with the other leg. From here, pull them to your waist and adjust as needed. Use the same principles for thigh-highs and it should be a cinch.

  5. Step 5

    Now that you're dressed from the waist down, you need to coordinate the rest! Unless you plan on lying around in only your stockings, you'll want to invest in an outfit. Whether you're looking for a matching bra and killer heels for a night in, or a sexy blouse and stunning skirt that leaves him wondering, shopping for a fully coordinated outfit is never a bad idea. Not only will you be dazzling eye candy for your man, you'll feel so sexy you'll never want to get undressed!
