Gracious Rose Posted April 1, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I know this is a strange question, but in Arizona, no one wears pantyhose anytime, even on dress up nights. Is it that way on the ship too? I was thinking its sort of warm weather for pantyhose. (Mexican Riviera) Any helpful hints would be appreciated, because we leave in 12 days. Thank you.

cb at sea Posted April 1, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Few will wear any type of hose on a warm weather cruise....the older women might...(I'm pretty old, and refuse to wear those things!!!) Leave your pantyhose home...go barelegged! It's fine, and preferred! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted April 1, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I wear thigh-highs, but sometimes go without. Get a nice pedicure and flaunt it! EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uppitycats Posted April 1, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2010 To be frank, I don't think I've noticed women wearing panythose anywhere for years, now! Even here in the midwest... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithkids5521 Posted April 1, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 1, 2010 no hose for Rose (sorry...couldn't help myself! LOL!!!) I wouldn't wear any pantyhose, just make sure your legs are nice and tan (maybe spray tan or some tanning lotion if it isn't that type of weather yet near you);) Enjoy your trip!!

GlendaleCruiser Posted April 1, 2010 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I will sometimes wear pantyhose on formal/elegant night because I feel more dressed up when I do. The rest of the time I am in sundresses and sandals or shorts. Take one pair if you want, but you certainly won't want to wear them every night.

simplelife Posted April 2, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Whether with or without hose is completely acceptable. According to these boards, no hose seems to be the overwhelming choice for warmer destinations. The big point of agreement of MOST on this site seems to be that closed-toe shoes should be selected when hose are worn. I'm thinking of bringing hose and some closed-toed slingbacks or mules for our cruise this summer to Canada (because I get cold easily) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now see, I'm very pale (should have been a red head to go with the freckles and pale skin) and just don't tan. I don't mind wearing hose and think I look far more polished doing so with a nice dress than going bare-legged. There actually are some of us that perhaps look better WITH hose. At least you won't find me trying to find a space on deck in the sun. ;) It's almost like a formal dress vs. non-formal dress thread at times when it comes to hose. :) But that's why I don't read in the fashion board anymore. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudshoveller Posted April 29, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 29, 2010 The poster bringing hose to Canada will be fine as I live in Vancouver and it is still fashionable here in colder weather to wear tights or pantyhose. We even like to mix it up with different patterns and colors... However, when my husband and I take our cruise to the Caribbean I plan on bare legs with sandals as I think that will be more comfortable. I think we as women, look best and fashionable when we feel most comfortable and self-assured. So, pack and wear what makes you feel good! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARFISH*4 Posted April 29, 2010 #12 Share Posted April 29, 2010 the last time i wore them was a cruise back in 04...struggling with them one FORMAL night...and missing it...that was the end of me and pantyhose i go pantyhoseless and LOVE it...so much more FREE and since i discovered pedis and sparkly toes its even better!!!

JohnsPrincess Posted April 30, 2010 #13 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I'm from Florida and NEVER wear pantyhose! Lol. Not even at my wedding...I had a full, gorgeous wedding dress...and blue sparkly flip-flops! But even when I wear dressy shoes, still no hose - not for formal occassions or otherwise! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm typing this without reading the replies, but your question reminded me of a dress code we had at work. This was at a large firm in KS. The dress code stated women must wear hose, or slacks with trouser socks. I always wondered who they hired to come and rub the women's legs to see if we were all wearing our hose. To answer your question, sometimes I wear hose; sometimes I don't. And, I'm a Florida girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted May 3, 2010 #15 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I vote "no" to pantyhose. Pale doesn't matter. If you are concerned about that, just get the Jergen's with the gradual tanning effect. You will love the feeling of the warm breeze w/o the pantyhose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBunny Posted May 3, 2010 #16 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I too was married in Florida, and went without pantyhose. That's me dancing barefooted in the pictures. I haven't seen anyone wear pantyhose anywhere in the South in a decade. I personnaly asked Clinton Kelly about pantyhose at an event, and emphatically said that they aren't fashionable anymore. I'm as white as Caper the ghost, and I still wont wear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlendaleCruiser Posted May 3, 2010 #19 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I must admit I love the way my legs feel when I wear pantyhose on elegant night. I buy the slinky, sexy, silky kind and I feel that way when I wear them and put on an elegant dress. To each his own.:D And I'm from Arizona, too!

SuiteTraveler Posted May 3, 2010 #20 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I haven't worn pantyhose in over 10 years. If you are very pale and self conscious about it, you might want to try self-tanning lotion or a spray tan. Nowadays the self-tanning lotions work much better and don't turn you orange.

grrl2grrl Posted May 6, 2010 #21 Share Posted May 6, 2010 White legs aside....my feet feel gross in close toed shoes without something on them!!! Any suggestions?? I have seen an advertisement for little socks that either just cover the front of your foot, or the little ones that go over your whole foot, but the top is not visible outside of heels. Something about Florida, gotta be barefoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Duck Cruise Posted May 7, 2010 #22 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Torturer Device !!!! Just remember....there are well over a thousand people on the ship with you. Dress how you want, be yourself and have the most fun possible!

EmiGirl826 Posted May 7, 2010 #23 Share Posted May 7, 2010 No pantyhose for this girl either! I got married in December in Tennessee and I didn't even wear them then. Instead I wore reindeer toe-socks. (much to the horror of my mom and dad!) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauldingMom Posted May 10, 2010 #24 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I plan to pack one pair. Worse case, I don't wear them and they would make a great in a pinch clothes line or suit case marker. Taking control top to hid the bulge I expect to pack on during the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticka1 Posted May 10, 2010 #25 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I have read in numerous places they don't sell pantyhose onboard so if you want and need them - bring them yourself. I'm getting a pedi and enjoying going hoseless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
