When is National Nylon Stocking Day?
Monday May 15thEach year on National Nylon Stocking Day, we highlight the fashionable variety and color available on National Nylon Stocking Day.
Many people may not recall ever hearing the term "nylon stockings" ever existed. A nylon stocking (also known as hose) is a close-fitting, highly elastic garment worn the same as socks or tights, with variations in color, style, and transparency.
Stockings made before the 1890s were made of woven cloth such as cotton, linen, wool, wool, or silk. Women's stockings were worn for warmth in the 1920s. Women began wearing stockings over their exposed legs as the hemlines of women's dresses increased in the 1920s. These 1920s stockings were simple, made first of silk or rayon, then nylon after 1940, and then nylon after 1940.
The introduction of nylon in 1939 by Chemical company DuPont in the United States sparked a high demand for stockings. Up to 4 million pairs would be sold each day as nylon stockings were cheap, durable, and shear.
