Seamed or unseamed?

October 11, 2013 By Leave a Comment

gerbe-carnation-seamed-stockings-p83-208_zoomI would like to know mainly from women: are seamed stockings classy or tarty? From a mans eye view, I find seamed stockings classy I just wish more ladies would wear them

– My wife used to think they looked tarty. Then she saw fishnets. Now she thinks seams are classy. Go figure!

My observation has been that some women are more influenced by what their girlfriends think of their style of dress than what their boyfriends think. I guess that’s ok if you are a lesbian. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!)

– Exactly… it’s all a matter of perception. My wife thinks it looks tarty because she feels that seamed stockings are the domain of strippers and “ladies of the night”. Nowadays there is an enormous stigma attached to the way women look. And, comrades, if we are to change the tide we’ll have to influence the fashion houses of the world into thinking that seams in stockings aren’t just sexy but fashionable too.

I saw on the news yesterday that Christies are auctioning vintage clothes and that they’ve had a record turn out and that there is a resurgence of people going to charity shops to buy granny’s old dresses. This might not be exactly what we’re after, but I think it might be a step in the right direction.

– I don’t wear seams in public as I do think they are a bit trashy. But I do enjoy the sensual feeling of wearing them at home, for my hubby, and during sex. It’s the very reason that they are trashy that makes them so dangerous. I remember once having no laundered hose to wear except a pair of seamed nylons, and I felt self-conscious all day long.

– My wife says they are tarty with normal dress, but at a very formal ball the rules are different. If you think what fashions women wear at such an event – high heels, bare backs, skirts split to the thigh, cleavage etc, seams are ok there.

– Classy but it won’t take much to cross the line to the trashy side. Sassy is a nice place to be. It’s half heaven and half heartache.

– A classic woman wears only real seamed stockings (the 3975’s from magnolia). I wear them to my work, at home, when I am shopping. I only don’t wear them during sports activity. It is not trashy at all if you wear a total classic look. I get even compliments on the street from total strangers. Does that satisfy you?

My wife is an Italian and tarty has never come in to it. She wears them some Saturdays and men look at her, but I think it’s because they think she looks sexy, not that she is a tart.

Feeling alone with a stockings obsession

September 11, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Stockings obsessionI just wish there were some other ladies who liked to wear stockings in Mesa, Arizona or surrounding communities, I feel very alone in my liking for stockings. No one says anything to me about the stockings when they see me wearing them. People show very little interest, it’s discouraging. I think that one of the problems is that there is not enough encouragement for women to wear stockings. I’ve kind of covertly watched people’s reactions and they just don’t react at all or they’ll look at me kind of oddly for a split second.

Why do you suppose this is?

– Simple answer really: you look so confident, proud, elegant and classy wearing stockings that the men and women that look at you can’t quite work out why. Also because bare legs seem to be increasingly accepted with a lack of femininity and skirt wearing declining in general, you tend to stand out for your high standards.

Basically you are showing other women up, and that is why so many people look at you oddly for a split second, wondering why you show out so much being dressed so nicely in skirts and stockings amongst all the jeans, pants, skimpy crop tops and cuttoffs etc.

The encouragement thing is because so many men are encouraged to think of stocking wearing women as sluts and streetwalkers, but in fact many are sophisticated and intelligent women who often hold very responsible postions in the workforce and society. Many of the other women who frequent this wonderful forum, don’t just wear stockings for a cheap sex thrill.

– I guess it’s natural to wonder a little bit what other people are thinking when they see you wearing stockings but try not to let it affect you too much. If they give you pleasure and confidence that’s all that matters. You may be unwittingly encouraging other women to wear them by making your postings on this board and that isn’t all bad. Enjoy your stockings always.

– Thank you so much for your thoughtful and wonderful compliments and thoughtful answers to my questions. It gives me hope to hear your answers, I do feel very feminine indeed in my FF stockings, and even just enjoy wearing them because they are so very soft and silky I never tire of the feeling of them on my legs.

– I simply applaud you for your self-confidence and courage. I am, however, surprised that no one ever makes a remark, though it’s certainly nice that you haven’t been insulted. (It makes me wonder what goes through people’s minds.) Have you ever thought about subtly engaging an acquaintance about your stocking-wearing? Nevertheless I admire your single-mindedness and ‘to heck with public opinion’ attitude to dress as you desire. More power to you!

– While I’ve not been accosted by anyone for wearing stockings, I have encountered disapproving stares. (I’m mostly in FFs as I tend to favour them over RHTs.) These are mostly from women of – shall I dare say – the “hairy leg brigade”.

When I first began wearing stockings, I was a little self-conscious and not sure of what I might encounter. However over time, I have gained confidence. I don’t have time to be concerned about some stranger’s opinion of me. And for that matter, those people from whom I’ve received disapproving glances haven’t a leg to stand on themselves!

A few men who have stopped me to ask whether I’m actually wearing stockings, and I always reply yes. They have only ever been complimentary, never rude or suggestive. They do ask what made me start wearing them, and whether it was the influence of a boyfriend, husband, etc. My one regret: I should have tried wearing stockings years ago – I would have had many more dates!

I was recently at a car dealership in Scottsdale, Arizona and I was wearing my nude colored FF point heel stockings with a very pretty blue green dress and ivory 2 1/4 inch heels and I noticed one of the salesman looked at my legs and frowned but said nothing. I’m assuming his response was partly due to his thinking “why was I wearing stockings or hosiery in over 107 degree heat”.

Is nylon dead?

August 10, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Skintone stockingsFirst of all I have to say I am a nylon lover, but seeing women wearing them is getting to be a rare thing. I was at a wedding about ten years ago and I remember that most of the ladies were wearing nylons under their dresses (I’d like to think they were stockings but that’s just wishful thinking!)

I was at another wedding a few weeks ago, a similar time of year to the first and I counted six young(ish) women wearing nylons (older women seem to still wear them). Most women had similar attire to the first wedding, but had bare legs. It is becoming more and more rare to see a girl wearing a skirt and wearing stockings/tights underneath. Lets hope fashions change soon.

May nylon rest in peace (for the time being anyway but please return soon.

– Unfortunately I have to agree in a certain way. This weekend I was in Blackpool on a friends stag weekend… and as these things normally develop myself and a few friends ended up in a lapdancing club… a very high class establishment called sinless. Out of all 20 of these gorgeous girls only one was wearing white lace top hold ups. I asked one of the girls about wearing sands and was told that the girls don’t wear them as much ’cause they were a little tacky… I nearly cried. When I tried to say that I thought it was the opposite, she lost interest in the conversation and buggered off… ah well I tried guys.

Then onto a night club… not a single pair of stockings in sight. There must have been three or four hen nights, two of which had a St Trinians and policewomen theme but there was not a stocking between them. I’m starting to get a little depressed.

The missus thinks it has to do with the perception that a) stockings and suspenders are uncomfortable and b) they are a lot of effort to put on. Any thoughts?

– I agree with your wife on her observations and this could be due to most women being lazy. Perceptions are odd things, easy to generate but very difficult to change. Most people don’t want to be convinced by reasoned argument, they’d rather follow the crowd and unfortunately this applies in everything in life. However your wife keeps wearing them so keep encouraging and supporting her.

– I have to agree unfortunately. Here in Chicago it’s the start of summer and you’ll find very few women wearing nylons. Of any kind. This is especially noticeable in the evenings at bars and restaurants. Very few nylons indeed.

– It is sad to say but I have to agree with you for the Detroit area. It was very hard to find a woman wearing stockings when the weather was cooler, let alone now that it is warming up. It seems that the trend is the bare leg, no matter what they are wearing. Ugh!

– They’re not dead yet! I have, as will be widely known, just been eased into stockings. Up until about six months ago I did not even know how to put on a suspender belt let alone choose different styles and colours. I have to confess that my flirtation with stockings is pretty much man driven, because it’s been two men that have bought for and advised on my recent conversion.

At school we wore thick dark tights with a grey pleated skirt, white shirt and tie. Shoes were strictly heavy with thick heels. But when I finally left college and hit London things changed from jeans to a business suit and skirts. This meant bare legs or some kind of hose. Of course tights were the common choice and I think I looked ok! Very business-like.

Then things changed again by fluke, a party joke, a nosey streak and flash! I wore my first schoolie outfit for about three years, except this was a little shorter, like up round my waist. In fact another girl had to adjust everything for me as I did not have a clue! Even down to how to clip the stockings in the fasteners, sad!

Then another chance meeting with a confirmed stockings nut, who is just a friend and no more, led to the buzz of being snapped in stockings. A promotion into a work area where the guys are above me in the company but can’t resist long legs means I often get away with murder and I don’t know why! Wink! Wink!

I find that from time to time I enjoy the challenge of a certain amount of discomfort on the train and around the office, to really feel… Well different from the other girls and I now know what it does to grown men!

I don’t often wear very short skirts. If I do, I wear tights but just occasionally I wear one just decent enough to cover up the stockings underneath. Then, armed with a long coat, I go to work knowing I’m the centre of attention for the day! Some will say tart! Some will say worse but it doesn’t hurt anyone. It’s just a laugh. All it takes is more time getting dressed, more time constantly adjusting things, more time in the loo! All in all a real pain in the backside but for a few hours I get almost anything I like, late start, long lunch break, lots of enquiries about if I need another coffee. Great!

Mind you if stockings were as easy as tights and the effect was the same, no work would be done in the city at all! I’ll try to carry on wearing for as long as I feel I can. It’s usually other women that stop women wearing stockings by implying “she’s a tart”. In fact it’s been implied on this very forum that certain types of dress style “would not be allowed in my office”. Well all I can say is poor fellas! My guys get a nice flash from time to time and that hurts no one at all and my reputation stands on my work abilities not my dress sense.

I almost fell over this morning. We’ve had a new secretary in the office for the past six months. She has been wearing slacks and it looks like boots of some kind since she has been here. A couple of weeks ago she wore a pair of heels, maybe 2″, a couple of times. This morning she came in with a skirt that was just above her knee and a pair of off-black nylon hose. I’m pretty sure that they are probably tights but when all I’ve been seeing are slacks and bare legs, even the tights looks good. Maybe nylon isn’t dead only on a sick bed.

The preoccupation with black hosiery

July 30, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Black StockingsOne of the things that I can’t quite figure out in the history of modern hosiery is why the colour black became so omnipresent. It began in the mid-1980s and continues without constraint to the present day. Mind you we have seen a resurgence in sheer flesh-toned nylons of late particularly for spring/summer. But black still seems to hold sway most of the time. From the 1940s through to the 80s flesh-toned or nude stockings ruled the day. Black was worn only for funerals or by old Italian women perpetually in mourning. Then black took over. Why? I have some theories – that black covers a multiude of sins (women don’t have shave their legs as much, black covers embarrassing bruises or veins, black has a slimming effect). Perhaps some women can enlighten.

– I think the three theories you mention at the end of your post are all true, particularly the one about hiding a multitude of sins. In my early 20s when I was working in high end retail, we were all required to wear either dresses or suits every day. Most of the time we wore plain black skirts and black heels, so that we could get more than one day’s worth of wear out of the skirt. I recall my reason at the time for wearing black hose was that I considered it a little more sophisticated looking – short black skirt, heels; flesh tone seemed out of place.

Also, with Boston winters, you got used to wearing black. Where I worked, black came out of the closet in September, and didn’t go back in until June.

Having switched from hose to stockings I’ve discovered that fleshtone is easier to keep, and you cannot tell where the snags are. I’ve discovered in my old age that now I actually prefer my legs in fleshtone stockings. Perhaps I’ve gained a little wisdom over the years?

– I have to agree with you. Up until 12 months ago the only skintone stockings I wore were ones with contrasting black or red seams. About 90% of my hosiery was black. I guess it was because my generation was brought up on black opaque tights. Over the past 12 months I have gradually switched to skintone (although I still wear black for a special occasion) which not only do I find very flattering, but as you say, the snags don’t show.

– I’ve noticed that there is black and then there is black when it comes to hosiery. Some blacks look bloody awful, while other blacks look okay. I think the difference is a combination of denier and the actual dye.

I think that the dark plum colour is a far more practical colour as it works with Navy, but I am not sure what goes best with a black outfit.

On Monday my wife came out ready for work wearing a black mid-calf dress, white blouse and black jacket but wearing brand new black stockings. I couldn’t help but tell her she looked like a Nun from the 1950s, so she went and changed to flesh coloured stockings, and agreed that she hadn’t tried that brand before and they belonged in the bin.

– I think most of us follow the fashion trend. On one occasion when I looked into the mirror about 18 months ago, my legs in black, did not impress me at all. Black has a strange sensation of actually making the legs appear thicker, especially around the calf area. With today’s high class fashions, a large percentage of women seem to go for a “black with everything” look. I only own two pairs of black stockings which I wear very rarely. Light shades enhance the legs, and my personal favourites are light tan and mid tan.

– Actually, if anyone is interested in my random trivia, I believe I’ve read somewhere that black stockings at one point were the cheapest colour to buy. Therefore they were the ones that many streewalkers and women of ill repute would wear.

As for the modern preoccupation with black, I agree with everything said so far, but I think there are subconscious reasons. For example, black is the colour of the night and the archetypal colour of the femme fatale. Of course, my practical reason is that I can only buy FF stockings online, and my skin colour is very difficult to match, being naturally dark, so I safely stick to black. *sigh*

Coloured stockings

June 10, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Coloured stockings– Why cant we get stockings in more vibrant colours? Why does everything have to be black? Don’t get me wrong… black can be very sexy… but we should be able to get more colours. You can get all colours of lingerie, but then have to make do with black, tan, or white stockings, which to me is a bit of a shame.

– I agree with you. I like to wear coloured stockings, but they are very rare (mostly vintage), except “regular” colours like blue or red. I also like to wear contrast colour seams.

– Personally, I like mocha or coffee coloured hose. Anyone else?

– I agree – I don’t like wearing tan coloured stockings, and as you say black and white does get repetitive! I’ve been trying for ages to find somewhere to get coloured stockings at a reasonable price, but haven’t succeeded yet – any hints anyone?

– I remember a number of years ago (probably 15) Wonderbra put out a line of coloured stockings. I can’t even remember how many pairs I bought but I still have a pair of green and a pair of pink left. The colours were lovely pastels (pale green, light blue, light pink, red and light grey along with the usual tan, black, midnight. The stocking quality was good too as is attested to the fact that I still have two pairs. I agree I wish they would make a comeback.

– Victoria’s Secret has a line of coloured nylons and stay-ups. My wife has them in a light grey that is just gorgeous and in a peach that is very sheer and shiny. At least in the US they don’t cost an arm and a stockinged leg. Other normal colours are also available.

– I dye nylons different colours. I have dyed in purple, blue and red. Over time, the dye does fade but it’s a good way to get some different colours cheaply and quick. RHTs work best. I have found that with FFs you never know how dark the seams will be.

– Jonathan Aston do all sorts of colours – including white with fluorescent pink, green, and yellow welts. Truly sensational. I don’t think they currently have a web site and I don’t know of anyone who stocks the full range on line. I do, however, sense a gap in the market 🙂

– You know (and please be kind in the responses) I think that is one area where pantyhose has gained ground over stockings.

A visit to almost any site that sells pantyhose and tights will reveal a multitude of colours – practically the entire spectrum.

It’s been a boon to me as I have found some to match every contemporary suit and trousers that I regularly wear.

I know its probably more of a “cart before the horse” situation but I consider it a small part of the “vicious cycle” of stockings decline. Less stocking wearing = limited colour selection = less stocking wearing, so on…

Sorry but I personally PREFER the lack of coloured stockings. While I agree that the colour black is rather too predominant, I LOVE tan, off black and gray coloured stockings. I have acquired quite a penchant for tan coloured stockings especially. I find they possess a particularly erotic and sexy (not to mention sensual), appeal. In short… I could not care less about the other colours of the rainbow being applied to stockings. To diminish the use of jet black coloured stockings WOULD be a welcome relief. “To each his beach” as the saying goes.

Stockings: lesbian or bi?

May 15, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Garter Belt and tarten skirtI was searching the AOL member directory this weekend. I chose the words “garter belt” and “female“. For tthose not familiar with AOL, members create a profile that includes the usual things; name, location, marital status, hobbies etc…

Almost 50% of the women who said they wore a garter belt and stockings were either lesbian or bi-sexual. I thought this was rather odd, so I sent an e-mail to one of the ladies who gave that impression, asking her if wearing a garter belt and stockings had become a sign of lesbianism. Her response sent chills running down my back!

She stated that indeed, at least in the US that wearing stockings has become somewhat of a “calling card” for other lesbians! She said that when she is out at a bar or a club, she looks for women in stockings, and considers any that she finds potential “dates”. So at last my question to the group:

Has anyone else encountered this, and ladies, has a lesbian or bisexual lady ever hit on you because you were wearing stockings? I sincerely hope this is not the case. If this is indeed true and the mainstream women ever hear about this, it could deal a serious blow to our cause, as straight ladies would never wear a garter belt and stockings for fear of being labelled a lesbian or bisexual! Not that being one is bad, that is an individual choice, however I would prefer straight ladies continue to wear stockings and not feel they are being stereotyped!

– That’s a new one on me. I’ve never heard of or thought of that one. Of course there’s a lot of stuff people put on the Internet that is just a figment of their imagination.

– I have no idea if stockings are the current uniform du jour in the lesbian/bi community but God bless them if it is. I rather think your leg was being pulled (and not in a nice way) by someone who was either relating a local custom in her particular gay community or was having a bit of fun with the “straight guy”.

It was my pleasure to know a femme lesbian some years ago who was the epitome of femininity. She did occasionally wear stockings but her dates, mostly butch-type lesbians, certainly did not act or look feminine at all. Picture the group Village People.

By the way did you know that if you wear anything green on Thursday, it is a signal to all gay men that you are available? LOL.

– I agree that any woman (regardless of sexual orientation) in stockings is a great thing. However I would like to think it was because of a taste for fashion and not a symbol of their sexual preference. I am going to e-mail a few more of these women and ask them the same question. You may be right about my leg being pulled, but I’m going to ask for some additional thoughts.

– I almost laughed aloud at reading this – maybe this is a good thing! Don’t you all know that when something is adopted by the gay and lesbian communities, it is a sure sign that it’ll be in the mainstream soon? Keep an eye out! When retailers see money to be made, rest assured the rest of the world will follow!

Perhaps someone could ask our resident lesbians in the chatroom. They also claim to be from New York ,the launching point of many trends. In my own experience, I have never been hit on by a woman while wearing stockings. Actually, I have only seen stockings here in Kansas two other times on ladies, unfortunately. Pantyhose is even rare here.

Luxury and the lost generation

April 15, 2013 By Leave a Comment

attorney stockingsThis morning our corporate VP and general counsel forwarded to me an opinion from our legal department. It was written by a new, young lawyer fresh out of one of our nation’s better law schools. The first sentence of the young lawyer’s memo was as follows:

“Because of the opinion which you asked me for. ”

What has this got to do with stockings? I’ll tell you.

I remember when writing the English language was as important as speaking it. It is harder to write well than to speak well. Writing requires the mastery of more skills than speaking. Writing well takes time and a degree of self-criticism. Writing well necessitates a knowledge of grammar, syntax, spelling (a skill with which I struggle) and, most importantly, clarity of expression.

The generation that produced the young lawyer who butchered the English language in the above illustration is lost to the importance of time. It is the “I want it now” generation. They are all about video games, MTV, microwaves and email. They are Napster, Instant Messenger and ICQ. Now, I stress there is nothing wrong with any of these things in themselves. But, taken all together, they are the antithesis of luxury. And, my dear friends, stockings are all about luxury.

The finer things in life be they a great cognac, a good cigar, a great novel, a moving symphony, a fine motor car, a great wine or even fine silk stockings with gloves all take time. Even the better moments of intimacy we share with our lovers have, as their hallmark, been the ones that have lasted the longest.

Stockings are one of life’s luxuries. They take time to put on and take off. They generally cost more than pantyhose. They are harder to find and because of this they require greater care. But the dividends they pay for the wearer and the wearer’s partner in terms of power, mystery, sexuality, appearance and touch are many times the effort needed to wear them.

Is it any wonder that this lost generation has recently moved beyond the hurry-up-pull-them-up mediocrity of pantyhose to brainless, genderless bare-leggedness? No, I guess not.

So, are any of us truly surprised when a young man making $70,000 in his first year of post-graduate employment cannot write a coherent sentence in his native tongue?

I guess his instructors were in too much of a hurry to teach him, he was in too much of a hurry to learn and his parents were in too much of a hurry to care.

– I really think you should take a look at the world around you a bit more. Yes I agree there is a certain amount of intellectual apathy amongst the young and what you would call ‘class’ and ‘refinery’ might be sadly lacking in the younger generation. However it is unfair to assume that all young people are responsible for a lack in education, class and above all stockings.

We live in an ever-changing society, my friend, and when you quote the finer things in life as cognac and the like it fills me with dread. If it’s one thing the younger generation have brought to the world, then that is tolerance. We are in a subjective arena and it pays to be a little more open minded to new generation and new technologies. If we hold on to the past too much then we’ll never see the future.

Lets be honest here: stockings are a throw back to a sadly by-gone era. But there is plenty today to enjoy… don’t worry about it so much.

– I also lament lost respect for proper application of the language. Current email etiquette is much like pantyhose. They’re easier and convenient – but not as good.

It is not ironic the backlash against casual work attire, me-me-me materialistic toys, and in-your-face rudeness, is surfacing as the economy slows. The short cuts of the 1990s to push to everyone’s bottom line are being appropriately questioned today.

Segments of the population are speaking up about elegance, and discussing stockings.

Your admonishment on the language has extracted a commitment from me to edit my forum communications better. If I’m going to talk it, I better make sure I walk it.

– I agree with most of the original post. I am a lawyer and am appalled by much of the written English I see. The two things I look for in aspirant barristers being interviewed by me: command of English and whether they wear stockings!

More seriously, though, they all have excellent degrees from Oxbridge, high bar exam results, impeccable references, fascinating CVs (the others already having been vetted out at an earlier stage), so there’s usually little else to choose! It would be almost impossible to have got thus far if there was any doubt about their “knowledge of the law and legal proceedings”!

– I too find myself in despair over the wilful murdering of our language, and it seems to be coming from all sides. It’s unfortunate.

As for the rebuttal that the younger generation brings with them a greater level of tolerance – hooey! “Tolerance” is nothing more than a cudgel used to abuse those of us who do not agree with whatever the prevailing views are of the moment!

Those of us who subscribe to a more conservative and traditional view of the world, whether formed by politics or perhaps religion, are told we are narrow-minded and bigoted. Yet, we are expected to swallow all of the pabulum spewed out in the name of being “progressive”. I refuse to accept that as long as young people are disrespectful to their elders, and parents do not command respect as befits their role in life – to be their children’s teacher and guide, not their best friend.

Producing fully fashioned stockings on modern machines

February 19, 2013 By Leave a Comment

fully fashioned stockings– Is it really not possible to produce FF’s on modern round-knitting machinery? Okay, I’m not talking about “genuine” FF’s but rather a quality that comes as close as possible in terms of feel and look of the original thing, aka non-stretch and 100% nylon.

– Anything can be made less expensively if there are sufficient volumes. It’s a case of creating enough demand and then machine manufacturers would quickly design machines to produce them and the prices would fall.

– As far as I know, this is true. I understand that the machines that make hose these days use a different blend of nylon thread than what was used on the flat knitting machine. However, if there’s money to be made, someone will build a better mousetrap.

– It all depends on the thin thread of what is “close” and what is not. True, original fully fashioned stockings were made by knitting a flat (what could be described as a butterfly) leg, then the leg is closed by knitting the piece together to form a leg and the seam results.

That is why a FF stocking stretches to accommodate the width of a leg but does not stretch in height. If anything, if a leg is full, it will shorten the length of the stocking in order to accommodate – never the opposite.

Modern machines (circular) have a multi-directional stretch capability. This is why, in my opinion, modern stockings with seams are more difficult to keep straight than those made on the original machines.

“Garter belt” pantyhose: atrocity?

January 31, 2013 By Leave a Comment

lack-Garter-Belt-Look-Pantyhose-large– I was shopping for stockings yesterday and the salesperson offered me a pair of “garter belt” pantyhose which I’d never seen before. I’m sure most of you are familiar with these. They are open, one-piece pantyhose which, when they’re on, sort of take on the appearance of stockings and a garter belt. I put the emphasis on SORT OF. The salesperson was actually wearing a pair and lifted her skirt to show me. She tried to sell me the idea that they had the best qualities of both stockings and pantyhose such as comfort, ease of putting on and off, simplicity when going to the bathroom, etc. She failed to mention how unsexy they look! I passed and bought REAL stockings! Has anyone ever worn these atrocities?

– Before I got a PC, I always had a hard time finding real stockings here in Kansas, the heart of the Bible Belt. I used to buy those things and cut the “garters” off and just use the stocking part with my own garter belts. Not very silky or sexy but it worked. Thank God for the net!

– I particularly find suspender stockings (as we call them in the UK) very sexy. Why has it all to be just plain nylon stockings? There’s a whole world out there of sexy and nice hosiery to discover, guys. If look at it under a different light, you’ll see that hold-ups, and suspender tights can be as sexy as stockings. It all depends on the lady who’s wearing them… 🙂

On the other hand, I must admit I DO hate tights, as they are the symbol of anti-feminism and bad taste, let alone the practical side of it. A pair of nice legs must always be complimented by a pair of nice stockings, hold-ups or suspender tights.

– I agree on this one folks. My girlfriend wears these sometimes and it drives me wild. But I would still prefer a garterbelt and stockings any day because you can’t beat the sexiness of watching a lady put on or take off stockings, or better yet, taking them off yourself.

I also find them sexy. They are a nice substitute for the “real thing” and some women prefer them. So instead of trying to push the real thing on them, I’d be happy to accept this substitute… suspender tights or garterhose or whatever you want to call them, they’re simply not as evil as pantyhose as people here seem to think they are! Anyway, just my opinion 🙂
