What is a Garter Belt and How to Wear It?

Garters are both an aesthetic and functional piece in women's underwear. Garter sets, which are preferred both for daily use and for special occasions, increase elegance and attractiveness while also being used to fix stockings. In this article, we will share what garters are, how to wear them and the right combination suggestions.

What is a Garter?

A garter belt is an accessory usually designed as a part of lingerie and equipped with elastic straps that hold stockings in place on the leg. A garter belt consists of a band that fits around the waist or hip area and is usually attached to the stockings by four or more suspenders.

Garter sets usually consist of the following pieces:

• Garter belt: Undergarment with straps designed to secure stockings.

• Garter stockings: Can be plain or with lace details, usually elastic-free because they are held in place by garters.

• Lingerie: Panties or thongs, usually designed to match a garter belt.

How to Wear Garters?

Wearing garters correctly is important for both comfort and aesthetic appearance. Here is a step-by-step guide to wearing garters:

1. Choose the Right Garter

When buying garters, you should choose a model that is comfortable and suitable for your body type. Models that do not squeeze your waist area but are tight enough not to slip will be more comfortable.

2. Put on socks

Carefully pull the garter stocking over your leg. Pull it up to your knee and make sure the stocking is straight. Garter stockings usually do not have a silicone detail at the top to prevent slipping, because they are held in place by garter straps.

3. Put on the Garter Belt

Wear the garter belt by placing it around your waist or hips. Make sure to secure it in a position that feels comfortable.

4. Attach the Straps to the Socks and Adjust Them

There are clip buckles at the ends of the garter straps. Put the stockings through these buckles and adjust the tightness. If it is too loose, the stockings may slip, if it is too tight, it may cause discomfort.

5. Make Final Checks

Check yourself in the mirror to make sure the straps are even, the socks are not wrinkled, and the belt fits comfortably. If the straps are too tight or too loose, you can readjust them.
