Everyone has their preference when it comes to legwear. From classic stockings and suspenders to modern hold-ups or everyday tights, each has its place — and its supporters.

Hold-ups, stockings or tights?

We’ve teamed up with hosiery retailer Tights Please to find out where our readers stand. The idea is simple: cast your vote for your preferred style and join the debate.

Stockings offered a more traditional look, often paired with suspenders, while hold-ups provided a more modern, practical alternative. Tights, meanwhile, remained a reliable everyday option, available in a wide range of styles, colours and deniers to suit different occasions.

Hold-ups or stockings?

To make things a little more interesting, we’re inviting readers to share their own stories and experiences in the comments, with a prize on offer for the most memorable entry.

The winner receives a year’s supply — twelve pairs — of their chosen hosiery, whether that means stockings, hold-ups or tights, courtesy of Tights Please.
