Stockings with fake zipper

Stockings with a faux zipper are black 70 denier thigh-highs with a white printed zipper running up the back of the leg. Pull them on for a themed party or a night out when your outfit is allowed to be just as eye-catching from behind as it is from the front. They are made for women.

How the zipper print runs up the leg

• The thigh-highs are black and have a thickness of 70 denier.
• A white zipper is printed on the back and runs straight up from the heel to above the knee.
• At the top of the leg, the zipper splits into an open V-shape, with a printed zipper pull at the point where the two halves separate.
• The top part ends in a plain black band without a print.
• The material is 100% nylon.
• Washing instructions: hand wash, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron and do not dry clean.

What makes a faux zipper different from a seam at the back?

A faux zipper is a print that looks as if the stocking zips open at the back, while there is no real zipper in it. Classic seamed stockings have one continuous line along the calf, which refers to the time when stockings were still made with a seam. On these zipper stockings, that line has been replaced by teeth and a zipper pull, and the V-shape at the top suggests that the zipper is already half open. So choose this model if you are looking for that playful unzipped effect and not the tight, understated line of a seamed stocking. The number 70 den says something about the thickness of the yarn: the higher the number, the less skin shows through.

How to wear the zipper stockings at a party or night out

The print is on the back, so combine the thigh-highs with a short black skirt or dress that stops above the knee, so that the V-shape and the zipper pull remain visible. At a themed party, black pumps with a heel make the long line from heel to thigh extra clear. If you are going out for the evening, keep the rest of your outfit plain black, then the white zipper remains the detail that catches the eye.
