Fascinating - like the old stockings they wore with garters and garter-belts.
What’s the utility? Are they warn with mini-skirts in the winter?
They’re worn nearly year round with short skirts or short shorts in the cool, grey climates from northern California on up the coast. Frequently worn with boots, long ones.
That’s where it started. But, it’s not just out there anymore, I saw a fair amount of it at a Lyle Lovett accoustic performance this past Friday night in Greensboro.
