When people think of socks, people think of the charm and desire that it brings to the people who wear them and the people around them. Nylon stockings, before the invention of tights, were the finishing touches to an outfit.
As the use of nylon increased, it became one of the best materials to use for clothing. As a handy and chic way to show off your feet, Nylon Stockings Day celebrates the history behind this superb knitwear. It also encourages us to wear them more in everyday life.
History of Nylon Stockings Day
Although the history of Nylon Stockings Day is murky, it is celebrated with recognition as one of the most useful fashion accessories ever invented for women. The day is celebrated annually on May 15th not only to look back on the history of nylon socks but also to shed light on the multitude of varieties and colors of nylon socks currently on the market. It also aims to encourage people to wear these socks as they are durable and extremely comfortable.
Yes, the need for tights may rein these days but nylon stockings were originally the "It" fashion accessory. In fact, a dress is considered incomplete without some super sexy nylon stockings. Before nylon stockings were invented, women wore materials that included cotton, linen, wool, or silk. Research into nylon production began in 1927 by DuPont and was produced for commercial use in 1939. When nylon socks hit the market, they became so popular that more than 64 million pairs were sold in the first year.
However, nylon socks became less used during the Second World War. Their production was stalled because of the structure used to make parachutes, airplane ropes and ropes. During this time, the demand for nylon socks in the market remains high, however, despite little or no supply.
