Now that you have the hot-to-trot summer fling gaze, you have to find the perfect summer fling material… you know what we mean, right? “The beach is a great place to scope out eye candy strutting their stuff in the sand” (Marie Cannizzaro). The surfers aren’t too shabby either. And trust us girls, they’re scoping you out too in that bikini that’s just appropriate enough to wear in public. Oil up and get your skin glistening to catch the gleam in his eye.

Another hot spot, literally, to find your summer hunk is the gym. Muscle bound madness swarms the air. And, if you’re into that Jersey Shore type, the gym is your perfect landing spot. Just watch out for the Snookies of summer; they like to mark their territory.

You don’t want to get sucked in to being his shoulder to cry on! It’s all about you this summer. Here are red flags to keep in mind- If they seem too sappy or clingy from the start – man overboard! And once you do find the perfect catch, suggest some fun ideas of your own. A stroll on the beach, a moonlit picnic, a romantic sunset rendezvous, or the carnival down the street (I hear they have great cotton candy)! It’s your summer fling, so get creative.

Score!

You never know; you might find out he’s the guy of your dreams and fall head over heels, madly in love with your summer fling! Ok, or not. But really- get to know him, learn a little about one another, and have the summer of your life. Get some champagne glasses, lift them up and toast to you and your summer fling.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

The first recognizable stocking can be tracked to the year 1545. William Lee, an English clergyman, developed the first knitting machine. These first knitted stockings were not seamless and were generally worn by men. “Men [had worn] silk stockings with garters until the end of the 18th century until trousers & socks appeared” (History of Hosiery).

In the 19th century, machine-made, cotton stockings became available for women. The technology remained reasonably static right until the 1930s, when a new circular knitting machine meant garments could be made in one piece, and no longer needed to be sewn together (A Brief History of Stockings).

The stockings market was revolutionized by the change of trends in the 20th Century. It became socially acceptable for women to show their legs. After World War I (1914-1918) short skirts were fashionable and long silk stockings were worn once again. In 1930, the invention of nylon made it an affordable alternative to silk stockings. Around the same time, scientists at the DuPont Company started experimenting in molecular chemistry. Julian Hill was one of the scientists looking for a silk substitute.

Hill discovered that by pulling a heated rod from a mixture of coal tar, water and alcohol a strong, sheer filament formed that was silk-like in appearance. Further research led to the first synthetic fiber, which soon came to be known as nylon. Nylon was shown at the World Trade Fair in New York. The NY from New York provides the first two letters of the name nylon. Two years later, in 1937, DuPont patented the discovery.

With the discovery and ultimate use of Dupont Nylon in the late 30s and early 40s, the popularity of silk in women’s hosiery faded. Silk was ultimately replaced by nylon after the war. It was “challenged by other man-made fibers such as Rayon, Bamberg, and Vilene” (History of Hosiery).

Nylon stockings did not receive social acceptance directly after launch. Cultural adjustment to the new fiber took time. Nylon stockings did not become a part of everyday life immediately. Many events helped contribute to the social acceptance of this new product. Such events included the “1939 New York World’s Fair, World War II, an enthusiastic press response, consumer tests and surveys, retail and marketing programs, and technical issues of manufacture and testing” (Fascinating facts about the invention of Nylon by Wallace Carothers in 1938).

The first nylon stockings appeared in New York stores on May 15, 1940 and over 780,000 pairs were sold in the first day alone. In the first year, 64 million pairs were sold in the US, and “nylons” soon became the generic name for all hosiery products containing nylon (The History of Nylons).

When America entered World War II (1939- 1945), the production of nylon only supplied defensive needs. This meant nylon stockings became very hard to obtain. Overnight, all stockings became hard to find. In the late 1950s yarn manufacturers discovered that they could add stretch to nylon by crimping it under heat, then in 1959 Lycra© was invented by DuPont. It can be stretched up to seven times its original length without breaking; it also recovers its shape.

With the arrival of the mini skirt in the 60s, an alternative to stockings was essential. Tights began dominating the market. Hosiery manufacturers made production improvements by moving away from flat knitting and instead hosiery was knitted in a tube. As a result, seamed hosiery nylons nearly disappeared.Advances in technology and trends have emerged with new fashions. Some favorite trends are fishnets, footless, thigh slimming, tummy controlling, and maternity tights. Tights, hosiery, and stockings are now statement pieces. Express your personality with fun textures, colors, and patterns. Our favorite brands are Falke, Givenchy, Hue, SPANX®, and Wolford. There has never been a better time in history to find the perfect pair of tights!
