Classic Nylon Stockings
Nylon stockings became popular after the end of World War II when they were first introduced in the 1940’s by Du Pont Corporation. It became and instant hit and almost completely replaced the silk stockings. From then on, the demands for nylon stockings gradually increase. Seamless nylon stockings became possible to produce by the invention of the circular knitting machine. Before that, the stocking were sewn at the seams on a flat knitting machine.
Nylon stockings are more preferable to silk stockings as they are sold at a lower price and they offer an ease of use. Without the hassles of taking care of the high-maintenance silk stockings, nylons are relatively easier to care for and dry in a short duration of time after a complete wash. The stockings can come in a variety array of colors, prints, knits and yarns. No matter what type of design you are aiming for, nylons have it – bold animal prints, subtle flower designs, or stripe – they cater to your individual’s need for a unique and stylish fashion statement. You may choose from fishnet, lacy types to ruffles. The nylon stockings are also available either knee high or thigh high depending on your preference.
