A bit of history
In the arsenal of each girl has its own secrets and tricks to seduce men. And many of them know perfectly well what no man can do for sure. This part of the ladies' toilet are stockings with a belt supporting them.
Today, the stocking belt is an accessory for love joys and romantic games, rather than a wardrobe item. But it was not always so.
Initially, the belt for stockings was invented in France as an alternative to the corset.
By that time, many young ladies were tired of constantly corsets, which were also quite unsafe for health. The garters, which were also used to maintain stockings, were extremely uncomfortable and tightened the legs, disrupting blood circulation. Therefore, the belt to maintain stockings quickly entered into use.
The first belts had a single function - to hold stockings, which without the support simply slipped on the leg. Despite the fact that the belt was wide enough, many women appreciated the comfort of the new invention and adopted it.
The popularity of the belt for stockings fell sharply after the opening in the 60s of the last century, women's tights. However, this phenomenon was short-lived. Ten years later, a belt for stockings appeared on the catwalks in bold and challenging collections of underwear, which led to a renewed interest in this accessory.
