How to Attach Suspenders to Stockings or Hold Ups

Suspenders, or suspender belts have to be one the sexiest piece of lingerie styles around. They sit around your waist or on the hips, they aren't just for looking sexy, they also do have an important use to make sure your stockings stay up.

Nelia Lingerie Set - Boux Avenue's Fits For You

Once you have the bra and knickers of your choosing on, put the matching suspender belt on around your waist, fastening it on the most comfortable hook.
Once the belt is on, decide whether you would rather tuck the suspender belt straps under the knickers, or have them running over the top. We advise wearing your suspender straps under your knickers for a more seamless look. However if you have gone for a frillier suspender style like our Nelia suspender, we would recommend wearing the straps over the knickers – this way you won’t cover up any of the gorgeous frill detailing.
Take a seat and gently pull your stockings, or hold-ups on - be careful not to cause any ladders.
Open the clips of the suspender belt straps, pull the stocking or hold-up top over the rubber section of the clip, with the metal and rubber part sitting on top.
With the stocking top in-between the rubber part of the clip and the second metal part, push the rubber circle through, catching the stocking and securing it (the rubber circle should then be pushed down to the narrow end of the clip).
Repeat steps four & five for each suspender strap until they are all securely attached to your hosiery.
