Sheer stockings are considered elegant, sophisticated and sensual. Originally made of silk or rayon, the 1940's introduced stockings made of nylon which were so popular that 64 million pairs were sold in the first year. Opaques are slightly thicker than sheer, and both vary in color, design and transparency (denier) - the lower the denier number the sheerer the garment, and are generally considered 'sexually attractive' as they are worn with suspender belts. At one time considered the appropriate attire for work or business meetings, many women now prefer to wear tights although sheers stockings are exceptionally versatile and suitable for almost any occasion - the office, parties, cocktail evenings, formal dinners or simply everyday wear. We offer a wide range of fashionable sheers in a variety of colours, styles and designs at very reasonable prices.
