Dress & hold-up stockings – the perfect combination for elegant appearances
A dress combined with hold-up stockings immediately looks elegant, feminine, and – depending on the styling – subtle or sexy. Thanks to a secure fit without a waistband on the stomach, nylon stockings are also comfortable and versatile. Here you'll learn how to perfectly style the combination for business, everyday life, dates, and evenings.
Why dresses & hold-up stockings work so well
- Elegance: Smooth, even skin appearance – ideal under flowing fabrics.
- Comfort: No constricting waistband, secure hold on the thigh.
- Versatility: Nude for business, black for everyday, lace/seam for evening.
Styling ideas by occasion
- Business: Sheath dress + nude stockings (15–20 DEN) → professional & polished.
- Everyday: Knit dress + black stockings (20–40 DEN) → modern & comfortable.
- Date: Mini dress + stockings with lace → feminine & sexy.
- Evening: Satin/leather dress + black stockings with seam → glamorous & classic.
Cheat sheet: Dress type & suitable hold-up stockings

Dos & Don'ts
- Do: Match stocking color to dress & shoes (nude for daylight, black for contrast).
- Do: Pay attention to high-quality silicone bands – for secure, invisible hold.
- Don't: Overly conspicuous patterns in business – better to stay subtle.
- Don't: Ignore skirt/dress length: For professional occasions, midi is better; for evening, it can be shorter.
