My ex who is black and Italian probably has some of the prettest feet I have ever seen and now that we are not together living in the same house, I think she likes to tease me with them walking around barefoot, taking her shoes and socks off in front of me wearing open toe shoes that drive me crazy. In fact, here I am on my first day of 7th grade wearing. I spent my high school years at a boarding school whose dress code stated that, from mid-October to mid-April, female students had to wear hose of some variety with a skirt or dress. Sheer Energy pantyhose were supposed to give my legs energy! There were two bummers about wearing all the time. I wore them to church, I sometimes wore them to school, I wore them at any time I felt the need to dress up.
Instead of the control top feature of the past we now have Spanx to hold in our tummies. Is it possible that pantyhose are making the smallest of comebacks from their height in the 80s? You may have noticed in recent years making a resurgence thanks to Princess Kate Middleton. Coming in far beyond the date of the original post, I feel the need to chime in on this topic. Or trying to tuck the damn runs into your shoes by twisting the feet or wearing the hose backwards leaving one with the unmistakable dirty sole on top. The allure of pantyhose for me anyway is the fact that they go all the way up! I was hooked and easily pleased.
Thanks for the smiles and the fabulous pic of the Leggs display remember spinning the shelves to search for your size! They can be hot, stifling, they do run all the time, and they are not the most comfortable thing to wear. In college, during the mid 1980s, most female students wore some form of hosiery when dresses, skirts or even shorts were worn. Blogs, magazine articles, and websites devoted to what Kate wears have all commented on. There does seem to be a plethora of women today wearing them more. Okay let me share with all of you as a black man I have noticed pretty feet on women of all nationallities.
I remember my mother complaining about nylon thigh highs and the hassles they were with the suspenders and girdle but now women seem to love them moe than pantyhose. I need to move before I lose my mind. I hate that word by the way, I guess it is a fair descriptor, but it just sounds semi-creepy. But I also know most women when faced with the thought of pantyhose without panties think eww! I do however find them very attractive on women. I understand the reasoning behind women not wanting to wear them. Which came first: the or the egg? Of course you do because we all wore pantyhose; if we were wearing a dress or a skirt, we were wearing.
I mean, just check out this stewardess after a long flight. Such a woman would definitely capture and hold my attention. I am married, and 42, and do recall when women wore them all the time. A huge thanks to all the ladies who still wear. She is a blogger for The Huffington Post and her own blog, Once Upon a Product, is where she writes about important things like beauty products, music, her obsession with Mick Jagger and of course. Oh yes, I definitely remember Leggs pantyhose in the little eggs, they were my go-to brand.
Would you mind an opinion from a man whom considers himself a pantyhose fetishist? Some women, such are news anchors or models, are either blessed with or have invested in polished, blemish-free legs, but, with no disrespect intended, I contend that the majority of women are not as fortunate. Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift just to name two. . I always believed as well, and my wife actually shares this opinion, that women should not wear panties with pantyhose as they were made to eliminate the need for stockings and panties. With my little, white Keds sneakers. I always found it funny, that many men like stockings or thigh highs. Ladies, do you remember wearing back in the early 80s? I do not wear them myself, I am not that kind of a fetishist.
You had to cover up those legs by buying yourself some of those eggs! The gusset or crotch if you will of the hose, is to be the replacement panel for the panty. And make them feel massaged all day long! Was the thought of being bare-legged that awful? Thank you for an amusing trip down memory lane! Mostly, I remember wearing them in gulp white, navy or black. Her website, Drawn to the 80s, is where her 5 year old draws the greatest music hits of the 1980s. Indeed, if I may be so bold, a woman who avails herself of the modern legwear choices today will likely make a very positive impression upon anyone she meets, professionally or otherwise. Sometimes she wears sheer and sometimes they have a little sheen to them, with nary a case of elephant ankles to be seen.
