How To Wear Stockings For The Holidays

Let's face it; we all have intentions at holiday parties. Whether you’re trying to boast as the host with the most, score a promotion, or seal “the deal” with that special someone, here’s a few ideas on how to dress for the occasion with luxury hosiery. While we make no promises that wearing thigh highs will get you what you want - Who knows? You may actually get what you’re after.

GOAL 1: Be The Hostess With The Mostest

You are throwing a Christmahanakwanza party, and you’ve invited all of your friends and family to join you. What ARE you going to wear? Here are a few suggestions…

Here we have SOFIA black herringbone pattern stockings, P.A.R.O.S.H. green wool bow dress, and a warm, maroon wool buckled coat. For accessories, we paired this with a Badgley Mischka black crystal ornament clutch, and dazzling snowflake stud earrings.

For this outfit, we show ROSARIA ebony black thigh highs matched with a black knit midi dress, and a gorgeous red collar coat. For accessories, we have: Michael Kors red leather clutch, Christian Louboutin Follies Strass mesh & velvet stilettos, Gucci statement necklace.

GOAL 2: Get Noticed And Promoted

Always dress the part you want to be in. Here are a few empowering outfits of the day.

In the first style set (on the left), we paired GIADA black art-deco luxury hosiery with a romantic satin off-the-shoulder dress. On the right, we placed a Dolce & Gabbana bow tie shirt, and black trouser. For accessories: PRADA black velvet shoulder bag, and Christian Louboutin Douce du Desert 100 crepe de chine heels.

In this ensemble, we paired VIOLA royal purple cashmere tights with gray lace bead top, gray ruched high-waisted pencil skirt, and an adorable Fendi fitted gray coat with fur cuffs. For embellishments, we put together silver chandelier earrings, Charlotte Olympia gray embellished purse, CHANEL beaded brooch, and gray suede booties.

GOAL 3: Seal The Deal

Kissing under the mistletoe is so cliché. Why not flirt a bit before you seal the deal? Seduce that special someone with your sexy little secret: thigh highs! 

Here we have ALESSIA black stripe fishnet stay ups, matched with a black slip cami blouse, Oscar de la Renta black velvet blazer, and a sassy red tiered fishtail-hem pencil skirt. For accessories, we pair this look with YSL la plaque couture in Night Bird, Gucci lady bird lipstick, monogram tassel clutch, and posh black pumps.

For this little number, we have ALBA red back seam thigh-highs, and a sultry red off-the-shoulder velvet dress. As for accessories, we paired this outfit with Stuart Weitzman red high-heels, CHANEL red classic flap bag, and ritzy diamond stud earrings.

In our last style set, we have ALBA red back seam hold ups, Rag & Bone black velvet dress, paired with Burberry Kensington cotton trench. We also embellish this look with CHANEL gold vintage fringe earrings, PRADA red velvet shoulder bag, and black satin bow stilettos.

GOAL 4: Start the New Year With A Fresh Look

Ring in the New Year with these sizzling outfits.

OTTAVIA lace patterned stockings will have you looking elegant, matched perfectly with this Victoria Beckham black sweat-heart neck dress, and a silver fox faux fur shawl to keep you warm. Pair this look with crystal drop earrings, Gianvito Rossi Court silver leather stiletto heels, and a Saint Laurent black velvet cross-body bag.

This outfit consists of: CHIARA back seam fishnet stockings, embellished with a silver mini dress. For accessories, we have: Yves Saint Laurent black velvet bag, diamond cage earrings, and sexy black pumps.
