What is better - stockings or tights?
When faced with the difficult choice of whether to wear stockings or tights under a wedding dress, you need to take several points into account:
Convenience
If the girl is plump, then it is better to choose tights, because stockings can rub, and you will have to walk in them all day. If you really want stockings, then you need to know how to wear them correctly. Children's talc, which should be applied to problem areas, will help against chafing. Repeat the procedure approximately every 2-3 hours.
Surprise the groom
To surprise and please the groom at the end of the evening, it is of course better to choose stockings. On your wedding night, appear before him in a seductive outfit, or rather without it, but in lingerie and stockings. This is a night you will definitely remember for the rest of your life.
Feeling test

Combination with a dress

When choosing a satin dress, it is better not to take tights and stockings with a belt, as they will be visible, or rather “pressed” through the fabric, especially with a fitted style.
Why stockings attract men
Perhaps strange, but true: a woman dressed in a silk robe or corset and translucent stockings with a wide belt can arouse much more desire in a member of the opposite sex than a model in a bikini. Therefore, the hidden always attracts the inquisitive eye of a person more than the open, especially at a time when frankness has become commonplace.
It was not for nothing that Grandfather Freud considered stockings to be the ideal object of male fetishism. This cute detail of a woman’s wardrobe is connected in the minds of a significant part of men with a strong nylon thread to the word sex.
What color is better to choose stockings for a wedding dress?
- White. White stockings are the most popular among brides. They look beautiful and go well with a white dress, especially if it is a classic princess style. Since ancient times, white has been considered the color of innocence, so stockings of this shade can be called a traditional attribute. For dresses of any cut, you can choose translucent stockings that have a slight matte sheen. It must be remembered that if the bride has a strong tan, then this attribute will create a very strong contrast, the same with fair skin.
- Bodily. Stockings of this color can be called the most optimal. Now there is no consensus that a wedding dress should be white, and there are not always suitable stockings for other colors. So, flesh color will come to the rescue. When choosing, it is worth remembering that it is better not to choose too light ones, they will visually fill out the legs. Also, you need to take into account that when photographing a couple there will be a lot of light and flashes, so the shine on the stockings will be unnecessary. You need to choose exclusively the matte option.
- Multicolored . If the bride decides to surprise everyone with her extravagance, then you can choose colored stockings. This image will look quite harsh, but interesting. The main thing is to choose one or two more accessories to match the shade, for example a bouquet or a belt.
- Ivory. This color is very versatile. It matches many dress colors. It will look great with gold and cream. For those with tanned skin, this accessory will come in very handy.

With a pattern or design
This variety attracts with its delicate or rich pattern, which is applied along the entire length of the leg. Products with a pattern reminiscent of a tattoo are especially popular among some brides.

A small mesh is an option for a celebration on a hot summer day. The girl will be confident in observing wedding etiquette. At the same time, the products will provide ventilation and create comfort.
Which of the proposed varieties to choose should be decided by the newlywed herself.
Material
With microfiber
Option for a wedding played in winter . Soft and smooth tights will make it comfortable for the bride to stay outdoors during a trip around the city or a wedding photo shoot with her family.

If you want to be sure that the tights will not fall off or twist , choose models with lycra. They will stay tightly on the leg and will cause anxiety for the bride during a long day.
With acrylic
Beautiful models that are well suited for a wedding, despite the lack of acrylic fiber. It tends to form pellets on the surface when used. But this will happen after the family holiday.
Decor of stockings for the bride's dress
In addition to the color scheme, stockings can also be chosen according to the decor. This is an openwork, a mesh, and a stripe at the back. Which ones are better to choose?
Openwork
This type of stocking is very beautiful and unusual. The bride will look very gentle and romantic in photographs in them. Before choosing such an attribute, you need to know that if you have a lace dress, then it is better to refrain from such a purchase.
You also need to take into account the fact that such stockings will add a little volume to the legs, so they are worth buying for girls with slender legs. Such stockings look very beautiful with a short wedding dress. But you shouldn’t buy one with a lot of flowers or leaves; it’s better to go with minimalism.
The opposite option would be a floor-length dress. With it, you can choose any pattern, and if you choose closed white shoes, the image will look very beautiful. Especially when walking or twirling in a dance.
With prints
Smooth wedding stockings with different prints look very nice. They can be different, but in most cases they are abstract. Applied to the front, side, back or all over stockings. There are extravagant brides who risk buying stockings with angels or butterflies.
Stockings with multi-colored prints will look harmonious. To create a unified image, you can choose a wedding in the same color scheme and create decorations to match.

Mesh
This is a very risky choice for a bride, but there are still such girls. When choosing such stockings, you need to consider the mesh size and color. If you choose everything correctly, the image will look beautiful, but if you overdo it, it will look vulgar. It’s better not to take risks with such an attribute for a wedding, especially if your legs are too full or thin.
Back seam
You can create a wedding in a vintage style. To create a bridal look, you can take stockings that have a seam at the back. Such stockings will visually lengthen your legs, and any girl will look sexy and original. You just need to take into account the fact that if the stocking is twisted a little and the seam moves, then there will be a “crooked legs” effect.
