40 Denier Hold Ups FAQs
Are 40 denier hold ups sheer or opaque?
40 denier hold ups are the perfect medium between sheer and opaque hosiery, creating the ideal combination of sheer elegance and great coverage. Hold ups under 40 denier fall into the sheer tights category, while hold ups over 40 denier are classed as opaque. Our 40 denier hold up stockings are therefore a great option for wearing season after season, keeping your legs warm in the cooler months and providing lightweight coverage in the summer.
When can I wear 40 denier hold ups?
Due to their semi-opaque material, 40 denier hold ups are suitable for wearing all year round and for pretty much any occasion. Depending on the style you go for, 40 denier hold ups can be worn to special events, as part of your everyday workwear or glam nights out. If you want to spruce up your look for an elegant evening fit, we recommend plain 40 denier hold ups with a floral lace top to create a sophisticated ensemble. Alternatively, add a splash of colour on your next night out with our collection of coloured or patterned 40 denier hold ups to elevate your look.
How should I put on 40 denier hold ups?
40 denier hold ups are super easy and quick to put on, as they come in 2 individual pieces that can be simply slipped on and you’re ready to go! Before you begin, make sure your nails don’t have any sharp edges that could catch on the material and ensure that you remove any jewellery that may cause snags or tears. Start by gathering one of the hold ups to gently bunch the material together and slip it onto the toes, slowly rolling it up the shins and over the knee. Once you have them at your preferred area, simply adjust them into place, whether you want to wear them as thigh highs or just above the knee area to show a little extra skin. Our 40 denier hold ups are crafted with discreet silicone and elasticated bands, for a snug yet comfortable fit against the skin. Say goodbye to your stockings twisting and slipping down with this innovative stay-up technology, giving you complete peace of mind for wearing them all day long.
How should I wash and store 40 denier hold ups?
Keep your 40 denier hold ups in tip-top condition by washing and drying them correctly, ensuring they stay as good as new wear after wear. Your 40 denier hold ups should ideally be washed by hand, as they’re made from a delicate, lightweight material. To do this, firstly fill up a bowl with mild washing detergent and lukewarm water, then place the hold ups into the bowl. Gently massage the hold ups to make sure that all areas are being cleaned properly and leave them to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Once they’ve finished soaking, remove them from the bowl and gently squeeze to release any excess moisture. Simply hang the hold ups over a clothes horse or leave them to dry on a towel until they’re completely dry. Read more about how to wash tights.
