A little tip from seasoned stocking wearers: it’s always wise to buy two pairs of the same style.

If one leg snags, you’ll still have three perfectly good ones.

Consider it hosiery wisdom passed down through generations.

The Vivienne Westwood runway itself was packed with stockings, worn by models of all genders alongside punk tailoring and towering platforms.

They weren’t ours this time (Cervin supplied them)… but we certainly approve of the trend. πŸ˜‰

Spotted next to Chappell Roan at Paris Fashion Week, Lola styled our black satin Glamour Bra β€” a 1950s-inspired underwired design with smooth satin cups and classic mid-century structure.

Vintage glamour meets modern rebellion. πŸ–€

We were hoping to see Lola Young collect her Best Newcomer award at the Brits wearing What Katie Did… but it wasn’t to be.

A few days later she appeared front row at the Vivienne Westwood AW26 show in Paris wearing our 1950s Glamour Bra instead. Not a bad consolation prize. ✨

Mesh stockings were hugely popular in the 50s & 60s for exactly this reason β€” glamour and practicality. Reinforced heel and toe, soft stretch, and that subtle retro texture.

They’re technically 70 denier, but thanks to the fine Italian mesh knit they look closer to 40 on the leg. So you get a little more warmth and durability without losing that elegant vintage finish.

No tailoring to hand? No problem.

We styled our black 1930s Flora Beach Pyjamas into β€œBirmingham boardroom” chic with a crisp white detachable collar, cuffs (made from an old tablecloth!), and a Homburg hat from Lock & Co.

Vintage drama on a budget.

Nothing completes a 1930s silhouette like a sharp back seam. If you’re watching in March, keep an eye out: and let us know if you spot a familiar line running down the leg.
