When shopping for fully fashioned vintage stockings, where do we draw our lines? Do we choose for the seductive in-your-face seamed stockings or do we go for the much subtler fashion statement by choosing those that are seamless?
Seamless vintage stockings are created using a circular knitting machine that shapes them by tightening the stitches, while seamed ones are made with two flat silk or nylon materials to produce a back seam that runs up behind the leg.
To make a choice whether to get them with or without seams, find out if you are planning to wear them regularly during work hours or are they for specific special occasions. Seamless vintage stockings are great to use to complement your office attire as they are not as distracting as the seamed ones that call for sometimes, unnecessary attention.
But if you are working in the fashion industry, there is nothing wrong with choosing seamed vintages over the seam-free. Or if your fashion style is much more aggressive and seamed ones suit your taste, you can always go ahead with your choice. It’s really up to the individual at the end of the day.
If your idea of buying vintage stockings is to match them up with a sexy lingerie, the best choice would be the seamed stockings as they are super sexy and allow for a retro classy touch whilst being intimate. For office wear that demands seriousness or has limitations on the kind of style to your outfit, vintage stockings without seams are the better choice. They provide you a subtle retro classic appearance without pushing too hard while allowing you to look professional with style.
Ultimately, choices of whether to have them with seams or without seams do not affect the kind of retro classic look that they offer to its users. The ultra seductive allure of vintage stockings still gives women the highest fashion satisfaction.
