How to attach stockings to your belt?
A bit of history
In the arsenal of each girl there are secrets and tricks for seducing men. And many of them know very well that not a single man can definitely resist. Stockings with a belt supporting them are such a detail of a ladies' dress.
Today, the suspender belt is more of an accessory for amorous pleasures and romantic games than an essential wardrobe item. But it was not always so.
The garter belt was originally invented in France as an alternative to the corset.
By that time, many young ladies were tired of corsets constantly tightening the whole body, which, moreover, were rather unsafe for health. The garters, which were also used to support the stockings, were extremely uncomfortable and tightened the legs, interfering with blood circulation. Therefore, stocking support belts quickly became common.
The first belts had only one function - to hold stockings, which, without support, simply slid down the leg. Despite the fact that the belt was wide enough, many women appreciated the comfort of the new invention and adopted it.
The popularity of the suspender belt plummeted after the discovery of women's tights in the 1960s. However, this phenomenon was short-lived. Ten years later, the suspender belt appeared on the catwalk in bold and defiant lingerie collections, leading to renewed interest in the accessory.
From those times to the present day, the belt has more an aesthetic function, emphasizing the sexuality of a woman and complementing some images, for example, the image of the bride on her wedding day.
Many girls, going to a lingerie store, wonder what the correct name is for the belt to which the stockings are attached in order to correctly contact the seller. However, the garter belt has not acquired any special name since its inception.
General instruction
The first experience of putting on stockings with a belt for many women may be unsuccessful, after which they may be disappointed in this venture and put the stockings with a belt on the back burner. However, if you familiarize yourself with the instructions and general rules in advance, then, most likely, there will be no problems with how to properly attach the stockings to the belt, and everything will work out the first time.
Although many women think differently, the belt must be worn first, and separately from the stockings. It is put on with rotating movements, and after the belt has seated correctly on the figure, it can be fastened.
First you need to correctly set the toe of the stocking, then slowly pull it over the leg. When the stocking is put on to the desired length, you need to straighten the elastic on top. When putting on the stocking, be very careful not to accidentally tighten with your nails.
Now you can proceed to the process of attaching the stockings to the belt. For the convenience of attaching the stockings to the belt, it should be lowered a little. This will allow you to properly adjust the buckles or drawstrings at the waist.
When the belt is fastened to the stockings, the stockings must be adjusted. To do this, you just need to stroke them with your palms from bottom to top.
For convenience, when fastening rivets, you can raise your leg to a hill and start attaching the front fasteners. After the fastening process is complete, you can walk a little to assess the degree of comfort and how well the fasteners are adjusted.
Usually the underwear is under the garter belt, but if you are going somewhere for a long time, then this option can be inconvenient: visiting the ladies' room will be difficult. In this case, you can wear the underwear over your belt.
When choosing such a set with stockings and a belt, it is worth remembering that it is easier to choose underwear for stockings and a belt, and not vice versa. This is due to the fact that the assortment and colors of modern underwear are quite diverse. And stockings and a belt for them are chosen not only by color, but also by the degree of individual comfort, which is so important for women.
Step by step guide
A clear, illustrated instruction will help you to understand in more detail the process of putting on a belt and attaching a stocking to it:
- Put on the belt and position it comfortably.
- Fasten the belt with hooks.
- Wear stockings correctly.
- Pull up the stockings to the level of the fasteners on the belt.
- Consider whether you will need to visit the ladies' room.

Silicone belt and stockings
Today, almost all stocking models come with silicone bands, but finding models with a welt, for which a stocking belt was originally intended, is quite difficult. The silicone band perfectly holds the stocking on the leg, and double support is provided when using the suspender belt.
The technology of fastening stockings on silicone is no different from fastening ordinary stockings. For this model, the suspender belt is an excellent decorative accessory that also provides additional support.
Belt with metal buckles
In addition to the variety of belt models, they have differences in fastenings. So, there are belts with plastic fasteners, but belts with metal clips are considered the most practical and strong.
Elastic bands for attaching stockings on a belt are also not always the same number. So there are belts with two elastic bands, which is completely inconvenient for everyday wear. European versions of belts involve the presence of four elastic bands with fasteners.
The American version of the belt is characterized by the presence of six fasteners.
The belt with the most complex fastening mechanism is considered the English version. This belt usually has eight, and sometimes even ten elastic bands with rivets for attaching stockings, so it is not so easy to hook stockings to such a belt.
It is worth remembering: the more fasteners the belt has, the more securely it fixes the stockings. Metal fasteners hold the stockings especially well.
How to wear stockings with garters?
Although many consider stockings with a belt to be clothing suitable only for seducing a man, some girls perfectly use this element of clothing in everyday life. With stockings on your belt, you don't have to worry about them slipping off at the most inopportune moment.
In addition, they will not be as hot in them as in tights in the warm season. But in order to use this spicy piece of wardrobe in everyday life and not look vulgar, you need to remember a few rules:
- Since stockings are underwear, it is considered extremely indecent if the upper lace part of the stockings protrudes from under the clothes. Therefore, it is not permissible to wear stockings on a belt with short skirts or shorts, as well as tight-fitting pants. The medium length of the skirt goes well with this piece of clothing.
- As with tights, black and beige stockings are considered classic colors and are suitable for everyday wear. Colored stockings are not suitable for going to work, but for a wedding, party or gala evening, they may well be a great addition to the look.
- It is better to choose black stockings for dark clothes; beige stockings are well suited for light shades of a skirt or dress.
- It is easy to pull on stockings or tear them altogether, which undoubtedly can easily ruin your mood. Therefore, it is not recommended to wear shoes with stockings with locks or decorative elements that can hook the stockings.
