Wearing Old-Fashioned Garter Belts

Garter belts are back in style again.  They are so very Madmen. The key to wearing garter belts and stockings is to buy the right size lingerie in the first place. It is always stocking that are too small or a garter belt that is too large that causes stockings to slip, wrinkle and fall down.

 

 

Women who want to feel sexy during the day say that the best way to wear this lingerie is to buy the type of garter belt that has four clips at the back instead of two and clip the right size of stocking very securely to them. However no matter what you can expect this type of lingerie to ride down on your legs. Garter belts and stockings do slide a bit no matter what you do. Sometimes the problem is that you have the stockings hitched on to the garters too tightly and the result is belt that drags down.

 

 

Sometimes the lacier the garter belt is the more delicate it is and the pull of the stockings causes them to drag.  Women who want to wear this type of lingerie every day to work often recommend wearing Lycra and cotton versions. The top of the belt should not be stretchy and fit well over the hip. The garter belt that is not likely to fall is the one that is kept up by your hipbones.  You should also choose a garter belt that has very long garter belt straps, as that is more likely to prevent stockings from falling down.

 

 

To avoid tugging and pulling of the garters you need to constantly check the tension on the suspenders. There should be some slack so the stockings don’t pull the belt down completely when you sit down or bed over.

 

 

You can also choose from two different types of girdles when it comes to this type of lingerie’s. The old fashioned type of garter belt has an open bottom. These tend to stay up well and also give your body the nicest shape. The open bottomed girdle looks best under loose, longer skirts.

 

 

One tip is to not wear underwear when you wear an open girdle. This is because this type of girdle is meant to be kept on even while you are going to the washroom.

 

 

Whether you are wearing an open bottom girdle or not you are likely to get quite hot wearing one. This is especially true in the summer. However many women are glad to put up with this as a garter belt and stockings makes them look so hot.

The Reverse French Manicure

 

If you are thinking of boasting fingernails that are extremely glamorous and very fashionable then consider getting a reverse French manicure. To refresh your memory the classic French manicure consists of a flesh or pink colored nail bed that is tipped with a cream white crescent moon of color.

 

 

In the case of the classic reverse French manicure the nail bed is white and the tips are painted a color. Usually the color is more outrageous than the pinks and flesh tones associated with the classic French manicure. Blues and bright reds are quite popular when it comes to getting this type of flashy nail treatment.  Basically you can think of the traditional reverse French manicure as being a solarized version of the traditional ordinary French manicure.

 

 

There is also a second type of reverse French manicure, which takes the whole idea even further. With this type, which was seen one lot of runways for Fall 2008, the moons of the nails are painted bright white and the rest of the nail is painted a vivid color like black, bright blue or dark red.

 

 

Pastels can also enter the picture here. You can see a bright white or cream nail tipped with a glossy pale flesh tinted tip.  Tinsel or metallic colors are also very much in vogue especially for the winter.  An example would be the silver nail that is tipped with gold or the blue metallic nail that is tipped with bright white.

 

 

Also in style is the complimentary or clashing color French manicure.  For instance a complimentary example would be a blue nail bed with a red tip or a red nail with a yellow tip.  Clashing color French manicures would be combinations such as a red nail bed with a bright pink tip or a brown nail with an orange tip.

 

 

There is even yet another variation of the French manicure, which is seen on the street as part of popular culture and also on runways. In this version the moons of the nails are painted bright white and so are the tips. The body of the nail is then painted whatever color the person desires.

 

 

The colors for Reverse French manicure treatments are also more vivid then you would expect.  Solid primary colors look best.  The most fashionable color is black but many women have been wearing both versions of the reverse French manicure in chocolate brown.  This follows along with the general trend in fashion that brown is the “new black.”
