NYLON STOCKING DAY

MAY 15TH, IS NATIONAL NYLON STOCKING DAY. TODAY IS FOR SHOWING SOME RESPECT TO NYLON STOCKINGS AKA PANTYHOSE. THESE PROVOCATIVE SHEER LEGGINGS ENHANCE THE BEAUTY OF THE LEGS. NYLON STOCKINGS COME IN A WIDE ARRAY OF SKIN TONES, COLORS, DESIGNS AND TRANSPARENCIES TO FIT ANY FESTIVE OR SOMBER OCCASION. THESE SHEER, CLOSE-FITTING ELASTIC WONDERS ARE WORN LIKE TIGHTS. AT THE END OF THE 1800'S, PANTYHOSE WERE THICK, WOVEN GARMENTS, MADE OF LINEN, SILK, WOOL OR COTTON. NYLON STOCKINGS BEGAN TO APPEAR AROUND 1940 WHEN HEMLINES WERE RAISED AND WOMEN BEGAN TO SHOW MORE LEG. THIS WAS A DELIGHT TO MEN EVERYWHERE. THE CHEMICAL COMPANY DUPONT INTRODUCED NYLON TO THE WORLD IN 1939 AND IT QUICKLY CAUGHT ON WITH STOCKING MANUFACTURERS. NYLON STOCKINGS WERE INEXPENSIVE AND DURABLE. OVER FOUR MILLION PAIRS WERE BEING SOLD EVERY DAY. BY THE 1950'S, PANTYHOSE BEGAN TO APPEAR. THE DIFFERENCE BEING THAT NYLON STOCKINGS NEEDED GARTERS TO HOLD THEM UP WHILE PANTYHOSE DID NOT.
