What are (over knee) Tights ?
Overknee tights, also called tights, can be worn without a suspender as well as with a suspender. They often look like stockings, but are also often made of more modern materials such as latex, wetlook or neoprene. There are versions with and without a silicone adhesive edge. Tights often give you sexy looks, but are also suitable for tight-fitting clothing because you don't see any seams like with tights or stockings
What are Tights ?
Tights look the same as tights, but are made of a much thinner fabric with stretch. Tights come in different types of deniers, this is the thickness of the fabric and indicates how covering your tights are. For example, 10 denier tights are thinner and less opaque than 60 denier tights. Tights come in many different designs, so you have basic tights but also tights with sexy prints. Tights also always have a fixed bottom, which ensures that they stay in place comfortably. This is also where the English word "Pantyhose" comes from.
What are Stay-ups ?
Stay-ups, also called hold-ups, can be worn without a suspender. They look the same as stockings, only they stay in place thanks to the silicone adhesive edge. Hold-ups give a sexy touch to any outfit, but are also suitable for tight-fitting clothing because you don't see any seams like with tights or stockings
What are Stockings ?
Stockings are worn with suspenders. Stockings are a kind of tights but without the bottom. Most stockings reach well below your knee, at the center of your thigh. You will have to wear stockings with suspenders because they do not stay in place by themselves. By attaching the stockings to the suspender, they not only stay in place, but also provide a sexy look
What are Suspender Belts ?
You wear a suspender over your underwear in combination with stockings. Suspenders come in different models, some suspenders can be worn on your hip and others are a bit higher on your waist. You can close a suspender with a hook and eye closure at the back. Most suspenders have 4-6 (adjustable) straps with clips with which you can secure the stockings.
