The 5 most important things to consider when buying a bodystocking

A body stocking is a one-piece garment that will cover your body from shoulder to toe. For example, imagine sliding your leg into a pair of pantyhose. When your leg enters, the hose will stretch and continue to adhere to your body. Some pantyhose follow the curves and some tone and slim. The best lingerie should stretch comfortably to the body.

Knowing your body is the key to finding the best fit. Unfortunately, that means a lot of trial and error. Here are 5 things to consider when buying a body stocking.

1. Material

Body stockings are usually made with lace, sheer mesh, or fishnet material. They also don’t have any kind of structural seams. That means that the fabric does not have a guide to know where to sit properly on the skin. Tip, look for key seams. The fishing net is universally the easiest to use due to the knotting technique. The technique allows for stretching, making it easy to mold to any shape. Lace stockings are usually entwined with the fishnet or with the eyes of the locks. That’s because lace is not meant to expand.

Tip, look for keyholes or some type of opening that allows for a stretch space. Transparent materials can be the most difficult type of sock to put on. Because the holes are smaller, this can suffocate parts of your body. If you have more curves in some areas, we suggest that you stay away from the transparent pieces. Looking at the material will help you determine the correct size. If it is a sheer mesh, be sure to increase the size. If it is fishnet, it must be true to size.

2. Graphics

What we love about body stockings are the beautiful statements they make. The cuts are more exciting and bring a wow factor. Think about the big picture. The deep-v will instantly lengthen a shorter torso. Tip, shorter divas should stay away from jumpsuits that cut the ankles. Opt for stockings that slide over your legs to form a continuous line. Small lines look more attractive on smaller divas. Curvy divas go for bold lines. In fact, the grid really accentuates the body and hints at a more curvy shape.

3. Your favorite asset or body shape

Well, we know this is the most important because every woman wants to feel empowered and safe. To look your best, apply the same method that you would use for clothing. What suits your body shape best? A shorter torso must be very careful because the body stocking can be significantly too long. Your solution is to look for pieces that cut just below the chest. Two-piece body stockings are a great option to solve that problem. Now, if you love your chest, we recommend that you do not use cups. Or go for a wrap-around style detail. If you like long legs, look for garters that adhere to the body stocking. If you love your hips, check out the side cuts.

4. Neckline

As mentioned above, there are no major seams incorporated into the construction of the stocking. The necklines in some cut you just above the chest. And that straight line doesn’t look very good at all. Suggestion, look for a drop in the neckline. Or go for a halter top style body stocking. The straight neckline complements a woman with a smaller bust.

5. Color

The body stockings are original and fun. But sometimes, color schemes can also alter what you’re trying to convey. Sometimes a rainbow print can go very wrong depending on the location. Neon colors are fun, but they can be very difficult to match with other accessories. Tip, with brighter colors complemented with tutus or jewelry.

We hope these tips help you find the best body stocking. Remember to have fun and let the lingerie be a complement to your confidence. You make the clothes. Clothes don’t make you. We’d love to hear from you, if you have any other tips please let us know in the comment section below.
