Sassy Spring 2012 Hosiery Trends


Well ladies, spring has sprung and the fashions for spring are pure fun! No more baggy diaper pants (what on earth were they thinking???) and unwearable trends. This season, we have the movies to thank for bringing us flirty feminine looks. “The Help” brought us 50s inspired ladylike dresses in florals and pastels. Chanel is showing them with uncuffed ankle socks in bold solids and lace. We like Oroblu’s Doris patterned pantyhose in nude with a fishnet and dot pattern that keeps these dresses from looking a little too sweet. “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”  continues the trend in black leather and sheer black dresses for  overtly sexy tough girl chic. Black bandage tights are straight off the runway, and black fishnets and seamed hosiery complete these looks with maximum impact. “The Artist” gives us 20s inspired flapper shift dresses in sheer and floaty fabrics. (Although for fall Marc Jacobs has gone for early 1900s with dramatic hats and ankle length dresses and cut-away coats.) These fun swingy dresses cry out for ladylike sheer thigh high stockings with a stay up lace band. Some runways also showed these dresses with knee high fishnet socks and open toed sandals.

So ladies, enjoy the sassy trends for spring, and be sure to visit us at www.coccolareboutique.com!

Hot Holiday Hosiery!


Ho, ho, ho, its time for holiday hosiery. Ok, ladies, do we want to be naughty or nice? We all know the answer to that, so…for a romantic evening out, we LOVE the Zaferrano patterned pantyhose from SiSi. They are sheer black with grey dots and a stunning thigh high pattern with gold metallic thread running through it. You can casually cross your legs so that your skirt rises up just enough to give him a flash of that sexy thigh high pattern. Wow! Very sheer smoky black pantyhose will look perfect with your black dress and gives you that mysterious stranger look. Gold dresses rock when paired with camel colored fishnet tights. For a saucy, flirty look try sheer hosiery with dots or square patterns or seamed pantyhose with a trail of hearts up the back. If you want to make a lasting impression (and Santa WILL remember!) some seductive lace top thigh high stay up stockings  or red fishnet tights work every time. If glitter and glam are more your speed, try black tights with a silver glitter sheen. To jazz up a plain black skirt and get you noticed (let’s face it, after a few drinks people notice cleavage and shiny things) we like metallic tights in fun patterns and colors. So when Santa is making his list he won’t have to check it twice–it will be clear if you were naughty or nice!

Hot Halloween Hosiery


Looking for some inspiration for a fun, flirty Halloween costume? Look no further than your lingerie drawer for some ways to step up your game. Of course you always have the standard naughty nurse with thigh high sheer white stockings, and an assortment of witches and pirate wenches in black, red or cobalt blue fishnet tights. Pair a short black dress with a white apron and thigh high seamed stockings for a french maid outfit, or try a slip dress or vintage full length slip with some nude thigh high stockings with lace top for a 20s flapper look. If you have a closet full of leather, no Dominatrix outfit would be complete without bandage tights. Can Can girls and women of ill repute have a variety of black thigh high stockings to choose from. Of course, you can always go as Kate Middleton wearing nude pantyhose, a ladylike dress and gloves…not quite as sexy, but she did marry a prince!

Hosiery for that Sexy “Mad Men” Style


We are so excited to share the blog by Fashion Tribes, showcasing our sexy seamed thigh high stockings and seductive Mad Men style: http://fashiontribes.typepad.com/fashion/2011/09/whether-youre-a-jackie-or-a-marilyn-be-a-lady-o-legwear.html 

Mad Men styled fashions are everywhere for fall, including Banana Republic who actually named their collection after the female characters from the show. These fitted sheath dresses and tweed pencil skirts just beg for some retro cool seamed pantyhose and lace edged thigh high stockings. If you are going for the full retro fashion experience, try a simple black garter belt with sheer black stockings. As cooler air moves in, we like front seamed and back seamed warm winter tights to pair with those fitted wool skirts and keep the temperature rising. Dressing like a lady is anything but prim with the proper hosiery!

Cobalt Blue–Who Knew?


Cobalt blue is the hot new color in glassware, cookware…and fashion. It is amazingly versatile, putting a pop of color into summer whites and neutrals and is making the transition into fall, giving a dramatic look to black sheath dresses. (The windows of Max Mara show you just how smart this look can be.) We love accessories that bridge that tricky time when it’s still warm out, but summer looks seem out of place. Cobalt blue fishnets are cool and comfortable and help you eek a bit more wear out of your summer wardrobe. And as fall brings a snap to the air (and in Chicago it can snap pretty hard!) we love luxurious cobalt blue semi sheer tights to pair with all those black and gray dresses. So play with a new color, make your blue eyes dance, and give the season’s trendy color a try!

Who Says Black is Basic? Pantyhose & Tights With Wow


Pitone black and gray snakeskin tights

Here she comes again
Like good medicine
Every step she takes
My blood is flowin’
Her legs go on and on for days

-With Legs Like that, Zebrahead

For legs that go on for days, there is nothing like black pantyhose and tights with slimming patterns to take that basic black from plain to maximum impact. Fall 2011 hosiery trends include lots of vertical lines in the form of back seams, side seamed patterns and front seamed patterns, as well as vertical ribbing. All these vertical lines and dark colors give you legs that go on for miles, while keeping fall’s black and gray pallette fresh and interesting. More subtle vertical patterns include black tights with a diamond shaped pattern, black crochet sweater tights, black and gray snakeskin patterned tights, and black and white lace patterned tights. So for long slender legs that will get their blood flowing, check out the selection of black patterned tights and pantyhose for fall at www.coccolareboutique.com !

Bandage Tights–ooh, thats nice!


No, I did not say “bondage” (although they do have a certain suggestion of S&M), bandage tights and leggings are a popular look for fall. I admit when I first saw this bandage look on the runway at Prabal-Gurung, I was not impressed.

Then when I saw bandage tights reinvented by Trasparenze with a sheer black background and the bandages only as a front pattern, I knew we had to have them. Oh my, these pantyhose are smokin’ hot with a little black dress and the lace-up panty pattern adds a sexy little surprise for later. If you’re heading for a night out and looking for an outfit with maximum  impact, these tights will convert anything in your wardrobe into a look that will have men falling at your feet and begging for more. Maybe these tights should come with a warning label…
