Stockings, Outerwear or Underwear?

So what springs to mind when you think of stockings? Sexual allure, Bedroom garment, making women feel sexy and confident?. Well originally these extension of socks were preferred as they allowed easier access, sadly not for the fun reason that springs to mind and were seen as more hygienic than pantyhose due to the ventilation of the nether regions and comfort they provided. Strange how the worlds perception of a garment can change.

 Stockings , now a luxury item, were once seen as a commodity in the war and therefore women had to be inventive with teabags and a black pen, in order to get that seam that goes to the unknown! Yes that’s right those stocking which you see so many celebrities wearing now with the seam that goes from the heel to the thigh originated from the war.

Traditionally stockings were a sexual item of clothing and definitely worn under a long skirt but today celebrities such as Lilly Allen, Rhianna, Katy Perry and Kylie Minogue are rocking the stockings with short skirts giving their look a more edgy feel.
