Hanes Hosiery is part of HanesBrands, a leading global manufacturer of legwear. The company founded and launched National Legwear Day, officially sanctioned by the National Day Calendar, in 2017 to celebrate one of the season’s top fashion staples.

Legwear – from tights to socks – is a versatile fall favorite and an affordable accessory that can instantly add personality and polish to any outfit for both women and men, according to Cathleen Moxham, HanesBrands’ director of legwear design and merchandising.

“Stylish black tights or a pop of bright color from socks can make anyone feel ‘put together’ and more confident,” Moxham said. “Likewise, a fun fishnet or dramatic pattern on socks can remix an outfit and change your perspective. We hope everyone will challenge themselves to try a new legwear style, color or pattern on National Legwear Day.”

Hanes Hosiery is encouraging everyone to join the celebration by snapping a selfie of new or favorite looks incorporating legwear and posting it on social media with the hashtags #NationalLegwearDay and #MyStyleKick.
