Your essential guide to hold-ups
Elegant, sophisticated and seductive, hold-ups can make special occasions even more special.
Hold-ups are stockings with a silicone band at the top, allowing people to wear them without the use of a garter belt.
Not only do hold-ups look fantastic, they’re also a great option for people who want the comfort and support of tights, but don’t feel comfortable wearing them. Hold-ups are also a great option for tight-wearers that wouldn’t choose a pair of stockings but want to try something different in their wardrobe.
With a range of different styles, including sheer, lace and seamed, it can be difficult to know what hold up is right for you. That’s why we’ve put together this essential guide to hold-ups.
Sheer hold-ups

Sheer hold-ups are ultra-lightweight and comfortable, feeling like you’re not wearing anything on your legs.
Incredibly versatile, sheer hold-ups are perfect for when you want to create a bare leg look but the weather isn’t warm enough.
Lace top hold-ups
Lace top hold-ups have a variety of intricate and stunning lace styles around the elasticated top.
Available in a range of vintage and modern lace styles, lace top hold-ups add luxury and elegance to any occasion.
Paired with a sheer leg, the lace top design can provide an understated elegance and hidden secret to your outfits. Paired with a patterned leg, lace top hold-ups can create a more obvious and overall show stopping effect to your outfit.
