Take 7: Christmas stockings

Forget about Santa. If you are looking for a pair of stockings to jazz up your Christmas outfits we have picked seven of the best

Sock Shop

I COULD have chosen seven from Sock Shop because there’s so much of everything. Red, blue, green, pink, black, white and even stockings with all these colours together. This particular pair is pink and quite thick, so it’s not all about fashion; it’s also about keeping warm. With a split down the back, these stockings are particularly fun, so you can wear black and not look boring at that Christmas party.

Sock Shop

ANOTHER pair from Sock Shop and even though these ones are black they are stylish. The fact that they are cut to the ankle makes them one of the number one accessories this winter. Similar to fishnets, this pair goes that extra mile, so feel free to be Christmasy and wear a pair of red high heels.

DiSo LiTo

THERE’S a treasure hidden in Latsia called DiSo LiTo. The shop has everything including clothes, bags and accessories but most importantly it has the most extraordinary tights and stockings. This pair isn’t really a stocking but it’s fabulous. Wear it with a white jumper and high heels or stick them under a super mini jean skirt. Brilliant either way and definitely a Christmas joy.

DiSo LiTo

THESE stockings are spectacular and you can even let them show because the detail on top is brilliant. Because the flowers are a pattern that continues all the way down, you can wear this pair with trousers and still be magnificent. With the colours ranging from orange and green, feel free to wear any colour blouse.

DiSo LiTo

CHECK mate! See, it isn’t all about colour; sometimes things are just black and white. This is a pair of tights that I would wear on a special occasion, such as a New Year’s party, with a black baggy top or jumper. But, if you are in the mood to cover up, put on a black skirt, a pair of boots and a black or white top.

Wolford

YOU could be singing “Santa baby” in these and make it a Christmas he will never forget. It’s the perfect foundation for your legs with an extra wide stay-band. Wolford have in mind what a woman needs anytime of the year but in case you don’t think this is the kind of thing for you, think again because it’s Christmas. Can also be worn with a sandal.

Wolford

THIS is what the packet says: An intelligent figure-shaper for increased sex appeal. And here’s what is sexy about them: from the waist to the upper thigh area there is an invisible zone, meaning there’s nothing there! Stay-hip consists of two individual stockings, which are like stay-ups but are kept in place on the hips by two crossover bands. Originally designed for pregnant women but now a way to spice up your life. And for Christmas, you don’t have to worry about having too much to drink and running to the toilet every two seconds and taking ages ‘fighting’ with your tights.
