IT’S A HOLD UP!!
I’m actually taking about hold ups versus tights. Is it just me who has issues with the two?
Up until 2009, I can safely say I had never touched a pair of hold ups. Oh the shame. Tights were the hosiery of choice for my pins.
But after sitting at my desk all day I suddenly felt a stomach cramp coming on. I roll down the tops of my tights you see as I’m not a fan of the boob shelf look.
The naughty tights that I trusted for so long has begun to hurt me…that was it, i had to find an alternative. Why should anyone tolerate discomfort?
The problem was I didn’t know the difference between hold ups and stockings. I thought they were synonyms! So, I strutted to Marks & Spencers ready to grill the stern woman in the womenswear department. Only problem was that I chickened out and just asked where the stockings were. She replied: “Stockings? Are they still in fashion? We haven’t stocked them in years!”
I left feeling slightly confused. After all, didn’t all ladies ready for a night of seduction wear stockings? How could Marks, hosiery shop of choice, not stock these sexy items? Time for an internet search….
It should have been obvious. Doh! Hold ups, stay up by themselves. Stockings, however, require a garter belt. I was enlightened!
I discovered that hold ups can be bought anywhere but that it’s trickier to find stockings…so where did I go? Ann Summers of course. Job done. Got all gartered up and ready to go.
And it’s pure pleasure. Feel more ladylike at once. Oh and you don’t get the stomach cramps which is ALWAYS a plus!
Here’s a little clip I discovered on how to wear tights with style….
