Which Gipsy sheer hold ups should I choose?
The Satin Sheer Leg Hold Ups have a satin sheen and a plain silicone band, which gives a smooth line under fitted skirts. The Satin Luxury Lace Hold Ups have the same satin sheen with a decorative lace top, which looks pretty if the top shows through a slit or short hem. Both suit evenings, weddings and smart occasions. A satin sheen catches the light, so it suits dressier outfits.
Are there Gipsy seamed and opaque hold ups?
Yes. The Cuban Heel and Seam Hold Ups have a seam up the back of the leg and a squared Cuban heel, which gives a vintage look without a suspender belt. They suit 1940s and 1950s inspired outfits. The 50 Denier Velvet Opaque Hold Up has a soft, velvety feel and gives solid colour, which suits autumn and winter outfits and work wear. Opaque hold ups are also more durable than sheers.
How do I keep Gipsy hold ups in place?
Hold ups use a silicone band, so keep body lotion and oil off the thighs on the day. Choose your size from the size guide on each product page, as a good fit helps the band grip. Remove rings before putting them on, and roll them up the leg gently. The Gipsy Satin Luxury Lace Hold Ups Lace Top comes with a reinforced toe, where hosiery takes the most wear and flat seams that sit smoothly under clothes. See Hold Ups for other brands.
