Simple history of nylon stockings: men love legs, women love stockings

War women's brain hole, not the average person can be compared.


Women really do not need to spend too much thought in the chest, 70% of men are most concerned about a woman's legs.

During World War II, some people made a show survey, asked a woman what they want, the results of 2/3 of the women chose the "nylon stockings", only 1/3 choose "man."


This is a satire, men like to see a woman's legs, women prefer to cover up with a layer of yarn up the legs, probably that is really beautiful looming it. Today we come to talk about silk stockings.


In fact, stockings in the newly born, is to wear a man. From the 16th century, the French court and high society ladies ladies, crazy on the Spanish stockings obsession, especially those who wear stockings, licking the screen are too late.

At that time, fluffy shorts with the latest tide stockings, is the standard Sao Nian style, Napoleon shoes have a classic exposed leg photo, according to the then popular dress men, he should be matched with a stockings. In 2010, Paris, France on the auction of Napoleon's exile in St. Helena through a pair of stockings, estimated 1.5 to 2 million euros.


Since then, the wave of stockings wave after wave of women who are frantically in love with this stolen goods. To the 1930s, DuPont invented to produce the first pair of nylon socks, which makes stockings become the heart of the world show woman meat, plastic legs were thin, low-key Mensao Zhang Yang Ming show, take to the streets do not wear stockings is simply not a system.

In order to sell nylon stockings, DuPont also ordered the female secretary to wear silk stockings every day to go to work, and then their home male employees became the world's first because of stockings and nosebleeds of the people. The first batch of nylon stockings listed, more than 70,000 pairs of 1 day was sold out, even worse than the double 11.



In 1939 that year, nearly 4 million pairs of nylon stockings were sold every day. It is no exaggeration to say that this layer of translucent nylon cloth wrapped up the whole of the United States has become a Hollywood actress and fashion circles spike weapon.


Can not afford to stockings, in the leg painting

To the World War II, Britain and the United States will be listed as a munition material nylon materials, DuPont will also focus on production for the military production of nylon parachute, only a very small amount of nylon socks. Pearl Harbor incident, a pair of stockings black market prices ranging from 3000 to 4000 US dollars.



A stocking is hard to find the market, women can only "three years of the new three years, three years of sewing and nourishing" to wear nylon stockings, can not make up again, show women brainstorming, decided to draw! This is true love!



They picked up her husband's razor shaved leg hair, and then cover some of the points tan blemish, and then painted in the legs on the dark stripes, and draw the middle of the stockings stockings seams, looks like Really wearing the same stockings.


▲ There are special beauticians for women painting stockings.



▲ World War II, the United States show women who have painted in the legs, "magic stockings" special tools, gravy browning agent is their common pigments.



▲ when the beauty shop business is booming, do not do hair styling nail, just painting silk stockings enough.



This trend continued for a long time, to the late process improvement, in fact, most stockings have no seams, but people still take a long time to accept seamless stockings, because it looks like no stockings, Very no sense.


When the war ended, DuPont restored the production of nylon stockings, but for already hungry and thirsty Sao woman, the stockings production is far from keeping up with demand.

In August 1945, also led to a "nylon socks riot." In Pittsburgh, 40,000 women's long lines to buy 13,000 pairs of stockings, the results grabbed up. The riots lasted until March of 1946, when DuPont's output increased.




Not for others cool, just ask yourself Hey

I remember San Mao to write their own childhood, the greatest desire is to quickly grow to 20 years old, so you can wear mesh stockings, wipe bright lipstick, since you can be a fox. Then I think of Tang Wei in the "Lust, Caution" in the scene from the stockings, sexy sultry is not only that calf, there is a woman's beauty of the heart.


Even now, stockings have been show the existence of personality, show women who also did not forget the original intention. Mesh black silk, pink lace, the man looked spurts Ye Hao Gui Shen worth mentioning, are irrelevant. We want, that is, brush out their own taste and temperament, he Hi enough.
