The variety of stockings available today is absolutely astounding. In addition to sheer and opaque stockings in every color of the rainbow, there are patterned and metallic-thread enhanced stockings that add glitz to the plainest of dresses. For casual wear, you’ll find thicker, sock-like stockings that look great with knee-length pants and ankle high boots on a cold wintry day. You can see that your plain suede skirt can be teamed with any of these stocking possibilities to look like a completely different costume. Paired with this skirt, a short, faux fur jacket and metallic stockings goes out for a night on the town, while a warm, over sized sweater with a diamond patterned, brightly colored sock style stocking attends an evening football game.
