Christmas stockings have a long history and are mentioned in many legends. You can say that these pretties are rather old-fashioned for the 21st century but I assure you – stockings are here to make your Christmas gathering cozy and your home inviting!

Christmas stockings can be very-very different, you can’t even imagine how many types and looks exist! You may find more traditional red, white and green stockings, crochet and knit ones with traditional patterns for a lovely and cozy look. Traditional plaid stockings are also a great idea – plaid never goes out of style. Accent your traditional stockings with vintage bells, tassels, wooden beads, monograms and wooden tags to give them a cooler look. If you have a glam space, continue its decor using sequin stockings and embellished ones, these are super refined! Play with colors choosing green, gold, pink, fuchsia stockings, this is out of the box and very bold. Need something special? Then take a look at elf-inspired and paw-shaped stockings or go for mermaid ones! Can’t find what you like? The good thing here is that you can easily make some stockings yourself: of an old sweater, of fabric or just knit them – that’s a way to get a couple of absolutely unique and personalized stockings.
