MIJOY Posted April 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) I know pantyhose are out of fashion, but I like to wear them anyway. Wanted to let everyone know Costco is now carrying them, Hanes Silk Reflections. This was quite exciting for me, as good pantyhose are hard to find in my area.

I like them because they keep my legs warm. I am all ways cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neenab Posted April 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I, too, still wear pantyhose - at least some of the time. I like skirts and dresses, and bare legs seem strange when it is freezing (literally) outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suitcasefull Posted April 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Thanks! I don't care for the look of pasty bare legs of anyone over 25 no matter what the style gurus say. Hosiery just gives a more finished look when dressed nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehpride Posted April 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'm 29 and I wear hose or tights if the outfit needs it. I really like colored tights with dresses and boots in the fall/winter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srlafleur Posted April 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 14, 2014 "Like"! I feel underdressed if I'm dressed up and don't have panyhose on. And I know my legs look a whole lot better, plus I get fewer blisters on my feet. No one wants to see my pasty naked 60 yo legs on formal night, nor the frowny face from painful feet!

I know what you mean. I can't wear any closed shoes without something on my feet (pantyhose, knee highs, socks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I are in the same generation. I like panty hose when I am dressed up, especially when wearing heels. I really feel under dressed with out them.

laurspag Posted April 15, 2014 #9 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I often bypass hose on a cruise, but I have nothing against them whatsoever. Where I work, they are part of our dress code. I can't imagine having bare legs in cold weather, no matter where I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 60-yo legs aren't pasty and I figure that people can look away if their retinas are burning. I choose shoes that I can wear without hose without pain and it's all good for me.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauer Posted April 15, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm 57 and guess I don't feel that I'm from the "same generation" as women who must wear pantyhose to feel dressed up. If I feel like my legs look too white I put on some self-tanner or wear pants or a long dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmetto Lady Posted April 15, 2014 #13 Share Posted April 15, 2014 It's not looking too white, but the spider veins. Yes, they can be treated, but for some of us, they take six month or more to fade because they turn brown and then up pop new ones. Pantihose or thigh-highs are like makeup for legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poshtotty Posted April 17, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 17, 2014 They are certainly not out of fashion in England...pantyhose or as we call them tights finish off a well groomed look (must be sheer though, 5 denier at most and must compliment the outfit ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uri1961 Posted April 17, 2014 #15 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I always wear pantyhose when I get dressed up and sometimes at work. I am glad they are coming back. JC Penney used to have a good variety, but not anymore. I buy from Silkies, good quality and they last a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephyrgirl Posted April 18, 2014 #16 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Pantyhose are too easy to rip IMO and not that warm. I wear tights all winter, usually plain black but occasionally another color or patterned. This time of year, I can't wait for it to be finally warm enough to ditch them until fall.

Guest maddycat Posted April 18, 2014 #17 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Pantyhose must be back in style. They were advertised (Hanes) in Macy's latest circular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolfay Posted April 18, 2014 #19 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Another vote for hosiery. For anything other than very casual occasions, I don't feel my outfit is complete without pantyhose, tights or some kind of stockings. My legs look much nicer with some coverage, and I don't like the feeling of bare feet in closed shoes or boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinppu Posted May 4, 2014 #20 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I have around 60 pairs. All in different colours, patterns and deniers. For me they are a part of an outfit...and my friends always eagerly await what I'm wearing :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie S. Posted May 4, 2014 #21 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Never wear them anymore, and never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaM Posted May 4, 2014 #22 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Again, I think age has a lot to do with whether bare legs or pantihose look better. Most women in my age group would look not as put together or attractive with bare white legs. I think girls in their 20's and 30's, even 40 can pull it off.

Rare Lois R Posted May 5, 2014 #24 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I recently cleaned out drawers/closets.....one of the drawers was socks/ hose....lol....there were no hose. I am trying to think back to the last time I wore any:eek:......it may depend on the person, more than the outfit. When I dress up on cruises? My dresses are long enough I don't need any hose and would wear a sandal. IF it is maxi dress, long skirt...dressy or casual.......all would be with sandals and my legs are not showing. During the regular days of my life? I don't dress up much/if ever...... if it is summer and I am in a sundress? well, no hose for me.....but 99% of the time I am in crops/capris/pants and shorts. I remember when I first started to cruise in 2003...I did wear hose with my cocktail dresses. I have changed my wardrobe for my cruises since then.......long dresses/skirts/dressy slacks on formal evenings. None of them require hose:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaM Posted May 5, 2014 #25 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm 61 and my legs look great pantyhose-free. That's why I said "most". How many women in our age group could say that? Probably not too many. Good for you. I actually could pull it off and have. I think because I'm from Michigan my perspective is a little different. We spend most of the time covered up to stay warm! BTW, I saw a photo of Jane Lynch in O---wearing fishnets with open toed sandals! I may just try it. Our next cruise is in Iceland where it will be a little chilly !
