That last picture should be in “OUT” magazine

I remember the first day I was in a new doctor’s office and a magazine called “OUT” or something like that was on the table.

I thought it was about the outdoors.

It wasn’t :)

I wasn’t rude. Met the doctor. Kept clothes on!!

Never went back.

Only in Manhattan.

I became disgusted with pantyhose decades ago, and went back to stockings and garter belt. Much more comfortable; and when one ran, you didn’t have to ditch the whole pair.

Maybe the bare-legged look is finally over.

I hope so. It's always looked absurd.

On the other hand, at church last Sunday, I saw a teenaged girl wearing denim shorts over dark leggings. If that's the next fad ... well, at least it's warmer than bare legs and flip-flops for winter ...

Oh you mean when when women were actually feminine?

The times I’ve visited the U.K., I am that good bit surprised to see how pantyhose or stockings are still very much in fashion for teenage girls and upward, compared to what I see back here in North America. Who remembers when Princess Kate came here and the Hollywood and New York people were taken aback about her wearing pantyhose for basically every public appearance she made?

1. My wife wore stockings and a garter when we met. 28 years later... no more =:-(...

2. DLR said, "I like the way the line runs up the back of the stocking". Eh. What were the shiny ones women wore back in the 80's? Those looked nice...

Yoga pants

As a red-blooded male I want to shake the hand of the inventor of yoga pants

Hate the look and feel of a naked foot in any shoe.

I liked the line up the back.

You can still buy all this stuff, but it’s a lot more pricey now.

Always one of my favourites.

I have, on occasion, gone to the store to pick up panty hose for my gorgeous wife.

Notice that the lady in the ad is wearing a hat, and has on white gloves. I wish that classy look would come back. But of course it won’t.

I see this first post when I open up FR and am immediately reminded of what this beautiful-voiced woman was wearing on her legs. Guys if you have socks on...take them off, or this will knock them off...

I can't help it. When I think of hosiery, I think of women's legs...and I think of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love"...

Picture #2 would nicely represent my opinion on the issue.

As a guy I tend to notice. And am guilty of staring a little too long.

Seems to me bare legs are common in the summer probably due to the heat. Panty hose or stockings (impossible to tell without shoe mirrors) are winter apparel.

There. I’ve exposed my ignorance. It’s all I know on the subject.

I am a female lawyer. I wear black hose in the winter with pumps or boots for warmth. I wear no hose and open toed high heel shoes in summer. A dress and a jacket always.
