Nothing Says Sexy Like Stockings a Product Review by Deb Smouse

I have a bit of a confession: I am a lingerie-a-holic.

It started simply, with the purchase of a couple of nice pieces of lingerie shortly after my divorce… but as my dispensable income grew a little, I invested in some lovely pieces. When it came to putting together sexy underthings for a special dessert-after-dinner, an outfit wasn’t complete without stockings.

Now, I come from a generation of women who abhor pantyhose, but I was brought up by a mother who bought me a girdle when I was a size four. I wear pantyhose when I am dressing for work, and when I am dressing for play, stockings logically follow right along with my way of thinking.

In a day and age where women prefer to be barelegged, what can be more enticing to a man than well defined muscles under nylon? Imagine yourself at dinner…and as a skirt rides up slightly, your dinner partner sees the top of stocking with an edge of bare flesh…..leading right to the promised land…..

Thigh-high stockings are easy to find these days, to be honest. I’ve purchased nice ones at Nordstrom’s, Macy’s and even Target. But my all-time favorite stockings are the vintage styled Signature RHT (Reinforced Heel and Toe) stockings created by Secrets in Lace.

Secrets in Lace has been in business since 1984, but I discovered them by following a link to their Dita Von Teese collection. Their stockings are authentically styled and often run off of patterns from the 1950’s. Nylon stockings with a denier of 15, their Signature RHT stockings come in a variety of colors (black, beige coffee) with stylish - and sexy - welts in complimentary colors. They also come in 5 sizes, ranging from Petite to Opera length. I personally have long legs, so the Opera length is great for me….

I’ve searched, but have been unable to find anything near their quality or style. Unlike many companies, Secrets in Lace also carries a “Curvy Woman” collection of stockings.

The staff at Secrets and Lace have always been great to deal with, as well. So, if you are looking for something sexy to wear - or a great gift for that sexy woman in your life, consider stockings. Now know that with stockings, you will need a delicious garter belt to hold them up….Secrets in Lace can help you out there as well (yes, for all sizes of ladies!)

When you want to look sexy - or feel sexy - I think stockings add just that right touch…..
