    Pantyhose may be back

    Last night I was at a big new years eve party with ages ranging from 21 to early 40s. 75℅ of the woman there were in dresses and of that, half of them had on pantyhose, mostly a black of some sort and a few in nude. It was good to see pantyhose beeing worn. I saw a few dresses and lots of heels I would love to own, may need to buy another outfit for the closet. Happy new year lady's.

    I'm very happy to see the return of panty hose as well as nylons. It makes it so much easier to find a good selection of colors and sizes.

    I wonder if it was cold where you saw these women....? I'll go out on a limb and suggest that Maine in winter time is a tad cool. Women wear them to avoid freezing. Hose are an "as needed" item, not a mandatory one as they used to be

    I never knew they disappeared. While I do not wear them in the summer months, I do wear them once the winter weather comes howling. And the pairs, with the runs? I will wear them under a long skirt with boots. Have to get as much mileage as you can, nothing worse than the one and done pair.

    I think it's time they come back. Wish they were sold as no gender specific in the men's department and ladies. I love wearing them.

    I never knew they actually left because I never stopped wearing them
    Flip Flops were made for Beaches & Bath Houses, We have neither in 2017. Lose the flip flops!

    I don't wear pantyhose so they're coming back would not affect me. However, I really wish Silk Reflections gartered stockings had not been discontinued and I would love to see them 'come back'. I can't seem to find anything that comes close.

    Hi Allison, I have been doing my part to support the Pantyhose industry for many years,

    They can have my Pantyhose when they cut them off of my Cold Dead Body......
    Having my ears triple pierced is AWESOME, ~~......

    I can explain it to you, But I can't comprehend it for you !

    In my part of the world I see enough GGs wearing tights (pantyhose) to justify me wearing them. Then again I'd wear them anyway, if they were 'in' or not would be entirely irrelevant.
    Here today, gone tomorrow....

    I noticed the women on the weather channel are wearing hose again. I think it looks so much better than bare legs.

    I know there are lots of pantyhose threads, but I actually thought about starting one a few days ago. Now I don't have to as I'll just chime in on yours. My wife and I have watched nearly all the Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel over the past month. Nearly every movie has beautiful ladies sporting dresses with hose. Most of the news channels like Fox, etc. have all the gals in dresses and hose. While out and about at Christmas parties, and even while doing a little Christmas shopping I even spied a few hose clad ladies. And of course, lots of sweater dresses, tights and boots, but that's different. I just tend to notice stuff like that ya know 😏 Maybe they are slipping back into fashion. Seems everything comes full circle if ya wait long enough. -Meg

    I was not aware pantyhose or stockings/thigh highs were ever on the way out. Yes, in the summer when it is hot and humid I can understand ditching them. My granddaughter has absolutely no need for hosiery. Her skin is blemish free..totally free of defects and not ashen. On the other hand with advancing age that brings spider veins, varicose veins, bumps and lumps hosiery is a must. One of my Christmas treats was an order of Berkshire stockings and pantyhose.

    I'm not so sure that panty hose disappeared...but the makers of them are fewer than I remember. However I never have had too much problem getting them. In regards to a resurgence of GG''s wearing them, I hope more do. I think they, and sheer stockings in general do more for a feminine appearance than bare legs ,IMHO.

    I wish I could share your optimism, Allison, but I think that when it comes to GG's and their disposition towards hosiery, there is a definite pecking order in place these days, and pantyhose still seem to constitute an "also-ran" (no pun intended - LOL!) within it .

    The bare-legged look is by far the most widespread (popular?) among the ladies, with leggings and jeggings running a distant second. Tights seem to be marginally acceptable as well, as are dark-colored pantyhose - typically black or charcoal gray - and for the more daring...patterned ones are an option, too. Nude pantyhose seem to come in last in this hierarchy, and are mainly worn by more "mature" ladies who - unlike their younger counterparts - often grew up with this type of hosiery and got used to wearing it in their youth.

    Stockings and garters? They seem to be relegated nowadays primarily to burlesque performers, porn actresses, fetish enthusiasts and - of course - those crossdressers among us who also enjoy incorporating them in their role-playing fantasies. As for everyday wear for GG's...hardly a blip on the radar screen anymore these days.

    I hope they do make a comeback because they are hard to find around here sometimes

    Just like with everything else, if the outfit calls for hose wear them, if it doesn't don't. Sundress in the summer, no hose. Sweater dress in the fall, tights. Office wear or LBD, black hose.

    Some recent observations to fuel the discussion:

    - Last september we were in three Scandanavian countries and hose sightings were frequent for all ages with black being most common.

    - This fall where I work in a city, I am seeing many more women of all ages wearing skirts and hose. In one 10 minute period walking downtown, there were ar least a dozen sightings.

    - Just before Christmas, my wife and I went to an Andrea Bocelli concert in Boston and hose wearers were too many to count. It was great eye candy and of course I wanted to dress like 80% of them.

    Casual observations, but it should help the discussion.

    I never knew they left because I see them pretty regularly plus all you ladies here are enamored with them and have a gazillion pair of them.
    They are one of those items that I hate wearing but have to sometimes.

    I love wearing pantyhose. Also stockings, thigh highs, tights and fashion stockings or pantyhose. I have tights in various colors and or patterns. I have pantyhose in various patterns as well. I even have a pair of thigh highs with black vertical stripes. Just remember one thing. Wash them by hand in the sink, especially anything with color. One time I wore a pair of burgundy / maroon tights. Afterwards put them in the bathroom sink with some Woolite. I forgot about them until the next morning. The water was red. The tights came out ok. Good thing I did not wash them in the washing machine.
