Hold-up, it’s National Stockings Day – give Breast Cancer Care a leg up on 18th October






Pull up your hold upsseamed stockings, lace stockings, sheer stockings, nude stockings or fishnet stockings (phew!) this Friday for NATIONAL STOCKINGS DAY! Charnos Hosiery declared National Stockings Day in the name of Breast Cancer Awareness Month seven years ago to support Breast Cancer Care.

On the Breast Cancer Care website Rachel explains "We know that treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone drugs can leave a woman with... loss of femininity...as well as not feeling sexy." Charnos created National Stockings Day to raise awareness for the cause and to make women feel good and celebrate their femininty.

Alison Baines from Charnos Hosiery says: “After all the support and encouragement our stocking-istas received last year, it has spurred us on to make this year bigger and better in aid of Breast Cancer Care."

So, ditch your usual tights this Friday in favour of some sultry stockings or hold ups. It will make you feel fabulous, and more importantly it's in support of a very worthy cause.

Please show your support on Friday through social media, by sharing your pictures and tweets!

Fishnet Fever!

Autumn has arrived, the trees are a kaleidoscope of beautiful colours, the days are still bright, the mornings misty, and there's a cold snap in the air. A must have hosiery item for the transitional autumnal months are fishnets. Worn with any office outfit or teamed with all of your party frocks, versatile fishnet pantyhose are perfect for the changeable weather.

Gorgeous model of the moment Cara Delevingne, works the rock chick look in her fishnet tights, for the new YSL campaign.

Suspender Pantyhose and Carpe Diem!


The title proved to be the magic mix for mum! Carpe Diem just sums up Mum & Dads approach to life. Always taking the risk, moving onwards and upwards and making new adventures. The beginnings of mum’s online shop Essex’ee Legs was no different. It’s been inspiring to watch her tiny seed of an idea, flourish into an exciting online business that continues to grow. So, after a few years of dreaming and hankering after a little business to call her own Suspender Pantyhose is where it all began!!

Sparkly tights and fishnet stockings had been worn forever in show business, then in 2009 a new celeb trend emerged, 5 words - Lily Allen, mock suspender tights



We were all hooked, Designers Gipsy, Pamela Mann and Leg Avenue all made their own unique versions of suspender hosiery

Mock Suspender Tights,  Plus Size Suspender Tights
All available at Essex'ee Legs
The popularity of the mock suspender tights style triggered a flood of new and unique hosiery designs, that celebs wore everywhere. Fortunately Gipsy, Pamela Mann, Leg Avenue, and Jonathan Aston continue to make the gorgeous fashion tights accessible to us mere mortals too…

Fashion Tights

The love for this new abundance of different hosiery styles never died and Essex’ee Legs provides a wide range of fashion tights in amongst its beautiful collections.

With a new trend that seemed to be sticking around, mum recognised the potential for an online tights shop ranging from sizes 6-32, with international postage. Accessibility was important to her, as apart from the big flagship stores many of the high street collections were sparse, with few or none selling plus size tights. With the image of Lily wearing suspender pantyhose, providing that light bulb moment, and a certain TV show, set in our home town, providing inspiration for a catchy name for the website…

Aherm, reem?
Essex’ee Legs became reality and mum dived head first into her new adventure...



We are proud of you mum! xxx
