When is National Nylon Stocking Day?
Monday May 15thOn National Nylon Stocking Day, we each year recognize the stylish variety and hue on National Nylon Stocking Day.
Many people may not recall ever hearing the term "nylon stockings." A nylon stocking (also known as hose) is a close-fitting, highly elastic garment worn as socks or tights, with variations in color, style, and transparency.
Webbing cloth such as cotton, linen, wool, wool, or silk was used in sewings dating back to the 1890s. Women's stockings were worn for warmth before the 1920s. Women began to wear stockings over their exposed legs as the hemlines of women's dresses increased in the 1920s. After 1940, these 1920s stockings were bare, made first of silk or rayon, then nylon, and nylon after 1940.
In the United States, chemical company DuPont's introduction of nylon in 1939 sparked a high demand for stockings. As nylon stockings became more affordable, durable, and shear, up to 4 million pairs would be sold each day.
