GARTERING Meaning and
Definition
-
Gartering refers to the act of securing or fastening an article of clothing, particularly stockings or socks, by using a garter. A garter is a flexible band, generally made of elastic or fabric, worn around the leg just above the knee or sometimes even higher up the thigh.
Gartering primarily serves two purposes. Firstly, it helps to prevent the stockings or socks from slipping or falling down the leg during movement, ensuring that the garment remains in place and provides optimal comfort. Secondly, garters can serve as a stylish and decorative accessory, adding an element of elegance or sensuality to the overall aesthetic.
Traditionally, garters were a staple accessory for women's fashion, particularly during the time when stockings were commonly worn. However, with the advent of modern hosiery, such as tights or pantyhose, the use of garters has somewhat diminished. Today, gartering is often associated with bridal fashion, as brides may wear a garter underneath their wedding dress as a symbol of tradition or for fun and novelty.
In addition to their practical and aesthetic purposes, garters also hold historical significance. They were once used to carry small items like money or keys, and were worn by men as well as women. The garter even has associations with the British monarchy, as members of the Order of the Garter, an esteemed chivalric order, wear a blue garter on their left leg as a symbol of their membership.
