Socks or hosiery are an essential part of most women’s wardrobes. It is not always easy to keep these items for a long time. Socks lose their mates and hosiery gets runs. There are some steps women can take to keep their hosiery and socks for a longer period of time. The first step in keeping women’s socks and hosiery for a long period of time is to be careful while putting them on and wearing them. Hosiery should be put on very carefully. It is a good idea to make sure fingernails are smooth before handling hosiery. Wearing jewelry while putting on hosiery can cause snags. Women who are wearing hosiery should try to avoid coming in contact with rough surfaces that may cause the hosiery to snag or run. Socks and hosiery will last longer if shoes are always worn over them. The second step in keeping socks and hosiery longer is repairing or stopping any holes, runs or snags as soon as possible. Holes in socks should be mended immediately. Nail polish can be used to stop runs in hosiery. The next step in prolonging the life of socks and hosiery is storing them carefully. Socks should always be stored in pairs. Hosiery should be stored in a place where it will not come in contact with any rough surfaces that may cause snags. The final step in making socks and hosiery last longer is washing them carefully. The manufacturer’s care instructions for socks should be followed. Socks should be kept together if possible when they go through the laundry. Special clips and fasteners are sold for this. Socks should be paired as soon as they come out of the dryer if no clips are used. Washing hosiery by hand instead of in the washing machine can help it to last longer. Hosiery that is washed in the washer should be washed in a special bag to prevent it from being snagged. A gentle wash cycle should be used for hosiery and it should be hung up to dry. Women’s socks and hosiery will last longer if they are worn, washed and stored with care.
i think the hosiery should be above the knees and above the thighs.
Yes, I would say so. No one should be wearing white except bride.
There is nothing wrong with wearing your mother's wedding band as long as your fiance is fine with that idea. Often if a wedding band is handed down from one generation to the other it's acceptable to wear that band.
No, because white is the bride's color......just like you wouldn't want someone to go to your wedding looking better than you, wearing white to a wedding says the same thing to the bride. Unless the one of wedding colors is white or the bride speficially ask you to wear white.....DON'T DO IT!?!
If his bride to be has no problem wearing his mother's wedding ring then it is fine to use the wedding ring for his future bride. However, if the son has sisters then he should get permission from his sisters as generally the jewelry of the mother goes to the daughters and they may want to keep it as a keepsake.
It depends on what colors you have chosen for your wedding (usually people choose two wedding colors). Since your bridesmaids are wearing red, I will assume that red is one color you have chosen for your wedding. What is the other color? Have your maid of honor wear your other wedding color.Another suggestion is your maid of honor can wear pink.
* If your step daughter's Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids are wearing long dresses then you should wear one in a color that will go well with the color of their dresses (not the same color.) If the girls in the wedding party are wearing short dresses then you should as well. If you don't want to pay a great deal of money for a dress you can rent some beautiful dresses from the wedding shop and the saleswomen there will be glad to help you.
Unless you know her real well, you do not ask her why. If you know her real well, it should come up in the conversation.
In the 21 century it seems all the traditional wedding rules are different. My fiancee is not wearing a traditional white dress and I am ok with that. The wedding is about the bride and groom being happy. Parents and family need to let their children make their own choices. I think you should wear what you like and be happy on that special day.
* Etiquette dictates that the only person at a wedding wearing white should be the bride and she is the center of attention. You could wear a white/blue dress or white/black dress, but not a full white dress.
What color of hose should I wear? It’s one of the most frequently asked questions when choosing the hosiery that is right for your taste. Hosiery is the finishing touch, not the focal point. A lot of women get this wrong by wearing hose that are either too dark or too light for the rest of their ensemble. Here are some guidelines to choose your hosiery. 1. Hosiery needs to be in the same color base on your garment. Do not mix warm hosiery colors with cool garment colors. It may look like a costume. 2. Colored hosiery, for dressy or business situations, needs to be very sheer. Charcoal gray or off-black is more subtle than a solid black. 3. If you wear a bright-colored garment, choose neutral shoes and match hose to shoes. Example: red dress, taupe hose and taupe shoes. 4. Two-color spectator pumps look best with hose matched to the lighter color, not the darker one. 5. Very dark, light or bright hosiery colors and patterns or textures draw attention to your legs. 6. Control-top hose are more durable than regular hose, and Lycra extends the resiliency of both. 7. Avoid emergencies by purchasing hose in quantity and keeping a spare pair in your desk drawer and glove compartment. You may wear it or not, unless your ensemble is dark, you're calling attention to your legs, not away from them. Dress in darker colors to match the hose, or wear a longer skirt to cover what you want to hide. Wearing hosiery gives you a refined, polished look that can't be beat, so do incorporate it in your wardrobe. With a few guidelines and a nice hosiery wardrobe, you can look great no matter what occasion comes your way.
