It is not a status symbol
Rather, it represents a popular fashion
When talking about stockings, the first thing that flashes in my mind is a sexy girl swaying, subconsciously thinking that stockings are just for women. But in the beginning, stockings were a man's prerogative.
In the long timeline, stockings have undergone countless changes before they become what they are now familiar with. Stockings first appeared in the West in the 15th century, and in the 16th century, the European court and high society relied more on stockings, and at that time, men led by Louis XIV and Napoleon liked to wear a kind of white tight-fitting tights, which was the prototype of stockings now, which was a symbol of beauty in the aesthetic view at that time, and stockings became one of the daily clothes of the royal family and high society.
This exclusive was broken at the beginning of the 20th century, due to the popularity of ready-to-wear and the wide spread of fashion concepts, women also have more choices in clothing, and there are more designs and changes in styling, and confidently exposing their calves has become a new way for women to wear at that time, and stockings have become one of the indispensable items in women's styling. However, the birth of the new material nylon fiber brought a major change to the stockings, since 1937 after the first discovery of nylon fiber, after two years, the nylon stockings made by DuPont were brought to the World Exposition, and the stockings officially entered the market as a mass apparel.
Stockings entered China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when Europeans shipped textiles to China, and stockings were one of them. This view can also be confirmed in literary works, such as the 1904 book "The Flower of the Sea of Evil", which contains a detailed description of women wearing silk stockings. Later, the popularity of the classic clothing of cheongsam made the "Western goods" of stockings more popular.
In addition to the paintings that can witness history, or the figure of silk stockings can be seen in literary works with documentary significance. In the play, stockings have become one of the representatives of fashion.
Do you remember in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", Monica Bellucci wore a black dress, black stockings, flowing red hair and flamboyant red lips, and walked on the street, becoming synonymous with sexy goddesses.
In "Friends", which is the ceiling of classic American dressing, whether it is Rachel who works in a fashion company, Monica who likes casual wear, or Phoebe, who likes pastoral style, you can see the figure of stockings, which shows the importance of stockings for dressing, or sexy, sweet, or modern, all popular fashions need a pair of textured stockings.
The birth and popularity of stockings has brought about the emancipation of modern concepts and wearing ideas, and it is also a change in aesthetic signs.
In 2024, stockings will still be the guest of honor in major shows, trying to deduce different fashion styles.
JW Anderson's Fall/Winter 2024 collection is inspired by classic movies, combining classic elements from movies with modern design. And the most impressive thing about this season is that it brings the stockings back to their original appearance, challenging the stereotypes of modern fashion. The male models not only wore stockings, but also wore long dresses and other items on their bodies, showing a unique charm that blurred gender boundaries.
The Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2024 collection is full of colours, with a wide range of colours this season, including pinks, blues, and greens that evoke the innocence and brightness of everyone's childhood. The color of stockings is a single item that cannot be ignored, and the clothing is matched to collide with more different vitality factors.
And the Saint Laurent girl, who has always been urban and modern, still shows people what it means to be the ultimate sexy in this season. Saint Laurent's Fall/Winter 2024 collection, which focuses on lightness, looks more mysterious and sexy under the background of tulle, and the tulle-like stockings are the best helper for this mystery, creating this gorgeous feast with hazy beauty.
SHUSHUTONG's Spring/Summer 2024 collection aims to strike a balance between the everyday and the dramatic, and the mystery and solemnity of the ancient Greek aesthetic are also vividly reflected this season. In SHUSHUTONG, which focuses on romantic girls, a dazzling variety of stockings has become one of the most indispensable items throughout the season, and stockings are synonymous with romance here.
BALENCIAGA's Winter 2024 collection is a journey of creation and the future, the models in stockings are more like an expression of creativity, the torn black stockings are rebellious and casual, the blue lace stockings are playful and elegant, and the black polka dot stockings are modern, each design element gives each look a different creativity.
Liu Yifei appeared on the show in a retro black skirt, the whole look was mainly black and white, the black skirt was matched with CALZEDONIA white stockings, and the black and white striped wide-brimmed hat on the top of the head was even more playful, revealing a sense of relaxation from the inside out.
Wu Qianyu, who also wore CALZEDONIA stockings to attend the event, used different styling styles to "kill crazy" on the streets of Paris!
Wu Qianyu let the red and black collide, directly filling the whole shape to the degree of amazement. A broad-shouldered black waist-cinching suit and intense, flamboyant red stockings work together without a sense of disobedience. The waist-cinching suit and short suit pants elongate the proportions of the whole person, and the red handbag in the same tone is more suitable for the whole shape, such a simple set of shapes with strong color impact, showing a different sense of luxury.
Different from the impact brought by the contrast between red and black, the pure black shape is indescribably sexy, the matching of All black is more neat, and the print on the stockings dilutes the blandness of the entire pure black shape, bringing some different feelings.
Just the right amount of translucent feeling
