This week at Shopping Queen: Show your legs! We, in turn, will show you which looks make your legs eye-catching. Courage, ladies!

Stockings are shaped by a long cultural history which, in addition to warming, always pursued the goal of accentuating the calves and legs. Since wool stockings were not particularly fashionable, alternatives came like silk stockings or, most recently, on the so-called N-Day, the nylon stocking for which women threw their handbags around each other’s ears to get hold of this much sought-after item. Don’t worry, we will be spared that today when we shop our new favorites!

The variations with seams make vintage hearts beat faster. Before nylon and perlon stockings, there was no technical requirement to create the tube shape. Therefore, the trousers were sewn together at the back and the unmistakable “fully fashioned” look with one seam was created. The women of the post-war period showed that we want to look good even in times of crisis: They simply painted the seam on their calves so that it looks as if they were wearing a specimen of the in short supply.

Everything your heart desires is available here: from simpler looks such as rhinestone decorations or graphic patterns in black. You don’t dare to do a wild mix yet? Try a flashy pair of tights with a little black dress or pair it with ribbed jeans.

Opaque or clear? No matter, always an eye-catcher! From black to brightly colored, you need to be courageous. Denier, or “den”, is a French unit of weight that is still used today in stockings. The opaqueness, which is particularly suitable for the cold season, begins at 30 and above. 20 Den, on the other hand, is the most common. The smaller the number, the finer the stockings. With everyone under 15 denier you should be particularly careful and wear gloves to put them on so that nothing is damaged.
