Body stockings are a form of intimate apparel and are gorgeous outerwear in a garment that is often misunderstood and under used as a fashion accessory. There are many individuals that will wear body stockings year round.
Body stockings are worn year round to a variety of occasions whether it be work, dinner, the movies, and yes, the bedroom. Every wardrobe should have at least two or three body stockings, and the more you wear them, then the more you will fall in love with them. A body stocking is a versatile style of lingerie that is similar to a leotard, which is a snugly fitting, stretchable one-piece garment with or without sleeves that covers the torso. Body stockings are worn especially by dancers, although body stockings are more feminine and sensual in design and feel.
A body stocking usually has full length legs, but it may have either long sleeves, short sleeves, or no sleeves. Body stockings are made in closed crotch or crotchless and are usually made from a sheer fabric that is similar to those used for stockings and tights, or they are made from fishnet and lace material. Virtually, all body stockings have a high spandex or stretch Lycra content that allows them to fit your body so that they can be worn comfortably. Some body stockings are designed to be worn as outerwear, but others are strictly for the bedroom, which is usually because they are too revealing to be worn out, but they can be functional as outerwear with the right bra or jacket.
The versatility of this garment comes from its intimate use in the bedroom to its use at work or play under a blouse, sweater or all alone. Body stockings make terrific gifts, as they are one size fits most and are on the inexpensive side. So, you can hardly go wrong since sizing is almost effortless. Remember, they are made in plus size as well. The effort needs to go into the material and style and for the most part body stockings come in four materials, sheer, lace, opaque, and fishnet, or a variation of these materials. For instance, many will come in a combination of opaque and sheer styles for added drama.
Many people confuse body stockings with body suits, but body suits are generally one piece garments that go from the crotch to the neck but they do not have legs. The difference is generally that the bodysuit is not a full body garment while the body stocking is from head to toe. Cat suits are also often confused with the body stockings, although the cat suit tends to be a heavier, more durable garment that can be worn with no other garment. Cat suits are often in the form of a costume, which can be made out of vinyl, rubber, or leather. Cat suits tend to be limited to the holiday of Halloween or on stage performers where they are not sheer, stretch lace, or in other fabrics that are generally found in body stockings.
