Hosiery by Jonathan Aston

Stockings, stay ups and fishnets with beautiful long back seams give any legs the perfect pin up girl look. You may remember Betty Grable in the 1940s, Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s, Brigitte Bardot in the 1960s or Lady Gaga and Victoria Beckham today! This timeless look has never gone out of fashion and works beautifully when paired with vintage fashion to complement the retro style of a time when glamour was important all day and not only after dark. Jonathan Aston's internationally sought after collection is all about the legs as a feature - it's hard not to draw attention to them with this classic range of hosiery.

Back seam stockings hold a very special allure! To wear them is to feel the elegance of high glamour. Saucy, seductive and elegantly sophisticated. Jonathan Aston of London has been dressing womens legs for over 30 years and knows a thing or two about classic hosiery. With the Jonathan Aston collection of beautiful (and seductive!) fishnets, stay-ups and stockings, this iconic British brand is, not surprisingly, internationally renowned and hugely popular with women everywhere.

Back in the 1940s a pair of stockings with a full-fashioned back seam was all the rage in womens hosiery. Sheer and elegant, women wore them as a glamorous counterpart to a couture outfit for evening or demurely beneath a skirt or dress by day. The addition of a back seam to a pair of stockings became synonymous with the famed Pin-Up girls of the era because the seam, although a functional way to knit stockings then, also had the added bonus of exaggerating the leg length in a most desirable way.

Technology has meant that backs seams are no longer critical to finish a pair of stockings but the style has retained its popularity with women everywhere and the back seam is back, particularly in stay ups and stockings. The fact that a back seam is no longer necessary but very desirable illustrates just how many discerning women want to step out feeling and looking sophisticated, glamourous and perhaps even a little cheeky! Jonathan Aston has hit the mark.
