Garter stockings: retro glamour
Garter stockings are the classic stockings associated with ultra-feminine retro silhouettes.
Their signature features:
a wide top band, often lace-trimmed, designed to attach to garter straps
a sheer fabric that creates a delicate veil over the skin
a smooth fall that stays perfectly in place thanks to a garter belt or corset
Paired with a bustier, bodysuit or high-waisted panties, they create a glamorous lingerie silhouette.
Hold-up stockings: practical and sensual
Hold-up stockings include discreet silicone bands inside the top.
Result: they stay up on their own, without a garter belt.
Why we love them:
they free the waist completely
they remain invisible under a fitted dress or skirt
available in sheer or opaque versions, black, nude or playful designs
Undiz tip: keep garter stockings for special occasions and wear hold-ups for everyday outfits.
Fabric & thickness: how to choose your sexy stockings?
Nylon, polyamide & elastane
Nylon: ultra-sheer, often used in vintage garter stockings.
Polyamide + elastane: the most common combination for comfort and stretch.
Some styles also include recycled fibers.
