What is a garter belt?
A garter belt (also known as a suspender belt) is a piece of lingerie worn around the waist or hips. Its primary function is to hold up stockings or thigh-high hosiery that do not have their own silicone or adhesive to stay in place.
The garter belt has several straps, often adjustable and usually made of elastic, that hang down. These straps have clips or clasps at the end that attach to the top band of the stockings, keeping them smooth and securely in position.
While historically a practical garment for keeping stockings up before the advent of pantyhose, garter belts are now often worn for aesthetic reasons, adding a touch of elegant glamour and allure to lingerie ensembles.
How to wear a garter belt?
Wearing a garter belt involves a few simple steps to ensure both comfort and a smooth look with your stockings. Here's a general guide:
- Put on your underwear first (optional but recommended): Most people find it more practical to wear their panties over the garter belt. This makes using the restroom much easier without having to unclip your stockings. However, some prefer the aesthetic of wearing panties underneath. Choose what's most comfortable and convenient for you.
- Put on the garter belt: Fasten the garter belt around your waist or hips. Most garter belts have a hook-and-eye closure at the back, similar to a bra. Adjust it so it feels snug and secure but not uncomfortably tight. The belt should sit where you want it to rest comfortably, typically around the natural waist or just below it.
- Put on your stockings: Pull on your thigh-high stockings up to the desired height on your thighs. Smooth them out to ensure they are even and free of wrinkles.
- Attach the garter clips to your stockings: Take one garter strap and open the clip. The clips usually consist of a flat piece of metal with a rubber or fabric button. Place the top edge of your stocking over the rubber button and then press the metal clip down firmly over the stocking and button to secure it.
- Work your way around: Attach the front garter clips first, then the back ones, and finally the side ones if your belt has them. Ensure the straps are not twisted.
- Adjust for comfort and tension: Once all the clips are fastened, you may need to adjust the length of the garter straps. You want the stockings to be held taut so they don't wrinkle or slip, but not so tight that they are uncomfortable or pull on the garter belt excessively. The straps should lie smoothly against your legs. You might find it helpful to sit down briefly to check the tension and make any necessary adjustments for comfortable movement.
With a little practice, putting on a garter belt and stockings will become quite easy, allowing you to enjoy the style and feel they provide.
