November has arrived, and that means that it is the start of holiday season! There is no doubt that 'tis the season of dressing-up for all the upcoming holiday special occasions. Alongside those holiday promises of turkey dinner and egg nog comes that dreaded seasonal uncertainty: what outfit are you going to wear? More importantly, what hosiery are you going to wear? What are some different ways to wear them? Should you pair opaque tights with certain outfits and fishnets or lace with another? Here is some of our holiday styling tips to help you look and feel spectacular this holiday season:

1.	Opaque tights are your staple hosiery fashion piece. They instantly bring together an outfit. The solid boldness of an opaque leg has the potential to accentuate the color statement that your outfit is trying to make. They can be worn with anything. Opaque tights are a major fall trend, drawing upon 60's mod style, yet romanticized when paired with more feminine skirts and dresses. Black opaque tights are easy to pair with any outfit, so try our 0A569 Silk Reflections® Seamless Opaque for a luxurious quick-fix to an ensemble. For those who are more fashion forward: try our 00N44 Silk Reflections® Silky Opaque Control Top Sandal Foot in rich fashion colors like Leaf Green, Peacock, Rose, Branch, or Royal Purple to instantly add pop to your ensemble.
2.	Fishnets should be a fashion accent, and not have too much attention drawn to them. The more subtle, the better: they look best when worn under longer skirts. Try our 0A254 Hanes® Fashion Wide Net under a knee length skirt or dress and boots. Your fishnets will draw attention without being too flashy. Or if you are going for more of a minimalist classic look, the cocktail dress, simply put, the short black dress is a no-fail. Since styling of this dress is subtle, and classic, so should your hosiery. Try our 0A356 Hanes® Fashion Classic Net or 0A253 Hanes® Fashion Medium Net to add texture to your outfit, while maintaining its infamous quiet sophistication.
3.	Lace tights are typically worn for dressy, upscale occasions. They are perfect for winter weddings, holiday parties and cocktail events. Lace tights work best with a simple feminine outfit. The unique detailing of a lace tight can add excitement to solid dresses or skirts. Try our 0A652 Hanes® Fashion Paisley Brocade Control Top for a Victorian folkloric inspired pattern to add subtle romance to your outfit. If your dress is lacking in pattern and texture, it is best to wear this lace tight to add some flair to the outfit, while adding a hint of femininity. For a bolder look, try our 0A652 Sheer Scallop Control Top to effortlessly achieve a femme fatale look. If you want to keep warm while still looking gorgeous, try our 0A653 Hanes® Fashion Sweater Luxe Tight. The combination of its lacy details, sweater like yarns, and lurex shimmer make this tight a holiday must!
4.	Menswear inspired tights, which include herringbone, argyle, and pinstripe patterns, should be worn with more serious formal apparel for the workplace. However, they can still be paired with more casual apparel to create a fun mix. Any tailored, suit dress would look great with menswear inspired hosiery. Our 0A651 Sheer Argyle Control Top, 0A656 Sheer Herringbone, and 0A657 Heather Rib styles will add a fashionable spin to the "prep-school" perfect look, and leg wear that is trend right for that office holiday party.
5.	Sheer Hosiery is your traditional option. Black sheers are especially sophisticated and slimming with any formal or dressy wear. However, if you are looking to add a little glamour to your sheers for the Holidays, try our Absolute Ultra Sheer 00Q49 Celebrate and our Silk Reflections 00N52 Glisten styles. These sparkling sheers with lurex yarns add a festive dazzling touch to your Holiday outfits.

While on those terms - which types of hosiery are more dressy, or casual?

1. Fishnets- both
2. Lace- dressy
3. Sheers- dressy
4. Opaque tights- both
5. Menswear- both

We hope this advice has helped you because we know how rare a "simple decision" around the holidays is.

We wish you all best this season!
