Why do stockings with reinforced toes look better?

Toe-reinforced stockings have a longer service life, because toenails are very hard. When wearing socks, it is easy to break on the toes when wearing socks, and normal wear and tear will also make the toes easy to break.

The toes of stockings are generally thicker than other places. This is due to the weaving characteristics of stockings and consideration of actual use conditions. Generally, the toes are easier to wear, so transparent toes are thinner than ordinary stockings. The toe reinforcement is thicker than normal, which directly affects the transparency of the toe of the stockings.

The original target of stockings was men. In the 16th century, European courts and upper class society were already obsessed with colored pantyhose. According to the fashion of the time, men were accustomed to showing off their thighs wearing pantyhose and considered it a symbol of beauty.

It can be seen from David's "The Coronation of Napoleon I and Queen" that even on solemn occasions, the princes, generals and ministers all showed their legs and unanimously chose tight-fitting stockings.

In the 16th century, the Spanish began to separate pantyhose from trousers and began to use knitting methods to knit socks. William Lee, an Englishman, engaged his wife in hand-knitting, which led to his research on knitting machinery. In 1589, William Lee invented the world's first hand knitting machine for knitting woolen trousers.

In 1598, William Lee transformed it into a knitting machine that could produce finer stockings, thus completely changing the history of handmade socks. Soon, Frenchman Fournier began producing silk stockings in Lyon. It was not until the mid-17th century that cotton socks began to be produced.
