DKNY Chevron Net TightsWe’ve posted in the past about the leading role that hosiery is taking in the intimate apparel world.  No longer is hosiery just pantyhose!  Today, hosiery can cover the gamut from colorful to muted or from textured to smooth.  Regardless, hosiery is one of the new ways to add flair to a fashionable wardrobe both outside and inside the bedroom.

Bare Necessities has done a great job compiling their Top 10 Hosiery picks featuring the best of the best from sheer and smoothing to opaque and shaping styles.  Featuring brands like Hue, Wolford, SPANX, DKNY, and more, there is something for everyone this fall.  Reflecting the trends on the runway, many tights and leggings this season have an 80s feel with prints, patterns, and colors reminiscent of that era.  In a more classic vein, textures and patterns take center stage featuring chevrons, herringbones, plaids, and argyles (one of my favorites!).  See below for a sampling of styles available this fall and know that there are plenty more where those came from!

Consumers Turning to Hosiery in Tough Economic Times

November 25, 2008 by Krista

With the markets down and no sign of a rebounding economy on the horizon, people all around the world are tightening their belts and scrutinizing their budgets.  Smaller amounts of disposable income means that most industries are seeing drops in profits.  However, hosiery is one of the few seeing increases and experiencing the lipstick effect, or the “Lipstick Index.”  This term developed out of an economic trend, during down economic times, that showed as profits for other products decreased, lipstick sales increased.  Why?  The idea is that when there is less money to spend on yourself, you tend to splurge on those small, relatively inexpensive luxuries, like lipstick, rather than more extravagant wardrobe purchases.

In this past year, hosiery has exhibited this trend.  According to sources cited in the Wall Street Journal, U.S. women’s hosiery sales have risen 2.3% over the past year.  Dan Sackrowitz, vice president of business development for one of TLP’s favorite online retailers, Bare Necessities, says that customers have been purchasing opaque or patterned tights as a way to update their current wardrobes.  He further remarks to the WSJ that sales of hosiery increased 60% in September and 70% in October.  Wow!  (See here for the full article.)

Want to know what I have my eye on?  See below for my favorite hosiery picks (available at Bare Necessities).  And with $5 shipping every day, you can afford to stay in and avoid venturing out into the cold to buy them!  🙂

Celebrities’ Favorite Lingerie

July 15, 2008 by Kelly

Tabloids and magazines always follow the fashion trends set by celebrities, but their lingerie is obviously a harder thing to keep track of! HerRoom.com has the dirt on your favorite singers’ and actresses’ underwear choices. Some seem to fit their personalities perfectly, while others are a surprise! It’s also nice to know that even when they make enough money to buy whatever they want, celebrities still prefer the brands that the rest of us rely on. Here are some of the most interesting choices:Elle MacPherson bra

Ivanka Trump and Kirstie Alley like the Elle Macpherson Intimates Coranto Contour bra, a demi bra with delicate lace and molded underwire cups. Beyonce was also featured in Blender Magazine wearing this bra.

Elle MacPherson bra

Eva Longoria included Elle Macpherson Intimate’s Dentelle Countour Bra in her wedding trousseau, and Katherine McPhee wore it in Stuff magazine.

Katherine Zeta Jones wears Sassybax’s Torso Trim Camisole while filming movies to smooth her figure and whittle her waist on the big screen. You thought that stunning figure was natural, but she actually has a little help!

Honeydew Rumba panties

Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpon, and Rebecca Romijn all love Honeydew. Paris goes for the Rumba Panty while Jessica and Rebecca prefer the Mesh Boyshorts. They had better stock up; the style is being discontinued and it’s on final sale!

HR_jessicaalba.jpgEven Jessica Alba welcomed some help from Spanx in “The Fabulous Four” to look her best in her costume.

Hanro Simply Satin

Nicole Kidman is reportedly a big fan of Hanro panties, and even personally chose the Simply Satin V Camisole and the Simply Satin Hi-Cut Briefs to wear in “Eyes Wide Shut.”

Chantelle Africa

The absolutely gorgeous Chantelle Africa collection is a favorite of both Hillary Swank and Emmy Award winner Mariska Hargitay. Hargitay’s favorite color is Ebony, which definitely shows off the delicate detailing.

Dolly Parton, who is notoriously unashamed of her assets, still knows that sometimes you don’t need to advertise everything. She has reportedly bought hundreds of Fashion Forms Satin Breast Petals.
