What styles typically have garter straps?
While all lingerie styles can include garter straps, they’re typically included in styles like chemises, bra and panty sets, bustiers/corsets, and teddies. Garters are a piece of fashion history that have been around for centuries, with both men and women wearing garter belts for holding up socks and nylons. While their everyday use has died down, they’re now typically used for fashion purposes or for invoking a vintage feel to your sexy Lingerie.
Can you wear a gartered lingerie piece without thigh high stockings?
Yes! We know that garters can be a frustrating feature if you’re new to the style, so for a relaxed, sexy look you can tighten the straps and let them dangle. The dangling look also gives off a casual, high-fashion vibe. A lot of styles also allow the garter straps to be removed, so if you don’t want to always deal with a gartered look you don’t have to.
Is there an easy way to hook back garters by myself?
Absolutely! Adjust the garter straps so they’re at your desired placement, then hook your stockings while you’re NOT wearing the lingerie. Now you can carefully step into your lingerie and stockings and gently pull them up into place. If the garters are removable, you can also remove them from the piece and hook them onto your stockings before putting them on, and then hook them to your lingerie.
