Texture in Hosiery

Texture refers to the surface quality and dimensional patterns in hosiery. Textured hosiery adds visual interest and can be more forgiving than smooth sheers.

Texture Types

• Ribbed - vertical lines
• Cable knit - twisted rope pattern
• Lace - decorative openwork
• Fishnet - diamond mesh
• Velvet - soft, plush surface
• Herringbone - V-shaped weave

Benefits of Texture

• Hides minor imperfections
• Adds visual interest
• More opaque than smooth sheers
• Often warmer
• Can slim or shape appearance

Styling Textured Hosiery

• Balance with smooth fabrics
• Avoid competing patterns
• Cable knit = casual/winter
• Lace = dressy/feminine
• Ribbed = office-appropriate
