My wife and I were attending an outdoor function that required us to be dressed up. It was very cold up here in Canada that day, and I remarked that I was going to freeze wearing my thin dress pants with the wind and cold that day. Her response was ?just wear your nylons underneath, they?ll help a little bit??..
I love my wife. ☺️
And did she allow you to wear makeup ?
I used to wear nylons all the time when snow skiing, they do help some and of course felt great.
Its not like I need an excuse to wear nylons or tights, but I do enjoy the approach of cooler weather each year.
I was working some 10 years ago and I would wear shorts up until Thanksgiving.
I was at a customer's and the receptionist asked if my legs weren't cold in the shorts and I replied they were a little chilly but not bad. She then suggested perhaps I should try pantyhose to help keep them warm and I said maybe I should try that.
If she only knew...
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
Cheryl, you never know she might have suspected something.
I commented once to a female co-worker about adding a layer of pantyhose under my thermals for additional warmth. She rolled her eyes, laughed, and said they don't keep you warm. We worked in the ski industry and were outside all day in the elements.

Because life is too short not to.
It's ironic ... I finally found a group of guys I fit in with. Funny how they all enjoy being one of the girls.
Wife: Why do you fold your panties? Me: I don't like my panties in a wad!
Sixty years ago, when pantyhose first arrived, they quickly became popular with professional football players, those guys who work in some brutally cold places. Joe Namath even made commercials for Leggs brand pantyhose.
When I was a kid working on a Midwest farm, everyone wore long Johns under their denim jeans. The day we started in October and finished in May varied little from year to year. My sisters wore thick tights under denim jeans. The garment shape was more tight and girly, but the materials were similar to my long Johns. Some girls substituted puffer style snow pants for denim. All the girls wore a heavy skirt over the denim. They were expected to remove the denim or puffer layer while indoors in school. Guys kept their long Johns on all the time.
Grown women wore long, ankle length, heavy skirts and boots. Professional women told tales of snowy, windswept train platforms wearing only heels and hose below the knee. When tall boots became available in the 1970s, on the subway, most women carried two or three bags: purse, briefcase, and shoe bag. It was quite a scandal when miniskirts first arrived and some of the college women wore only pantyhose under their micro skirts in the winter. Public health officials went crazy with dire predictions for their health. Their thighs would often be cherry red all morning. Though I liked to dress en femme, that was one time that I was grateful not to be a slave to such fashion.
I was age 25 when I first experimented with going outdoors wearing just pantyhose and a miniskirt when temperatures dipped into double digits below zero F. That first bite of cold was quite a sensation. With practice, I grew accustomed to it. I wore a skirt above the knee, pantyhose, 14 inch boots, and two layers of coats for a full day out and about on January 12, 1981, the coldest day in Boston in half a century.

Nylons are great and effective at this time of year.
Pantyhose under thermal underwear under outerwear can be a little too much and make you sweat, which will make you feel colder. Otherwise, it does feel warmer (unless it's just the excitement causing increased circulation).
This is so true. A couple of my friends wear pantyhose or thigh highs when they go fall hunting or fishing. I wear either daily, regardless of the weather. Slipping them on every morning, starts my day off with a smile. Of course, other items follow.
I wear pantyhose under dress pants during the winter, have for a long time.
Please call me Jamie, I always_have crossdressed, I always will, "alwayshave".
First time diving in a wetsuit. I had trouble pulling them on. Someone said try wearing pantihose under them. It makes them pull on much easier.
I would have loved to have an excuse, but I was so deep into denial, there's no way I would have done that.
Besides, back then, I didn't know about TV or CD {which wasn't even a word then). I thought if you wore pantihose that it meant that you were gay. And, back then, "gay" meant "happy". A much more vulgar word was uses to refer to homosexuals.
Hi, I'm Steffi and I'm a crossdresser... And I accept and celebrate both sides of me. Or, maybe I'm gender fluid.
When I was in college I stayed at my Grandma's over the Winter Holiday in the cold part of eastern Oregon. I was getting ready to go out and she said put on your long underwear I said I did not have them and she handed me a pair of pantyhose. Was surprised but put them on. Yes they helped especially in the wind and yes they felt wonderful. Loved my grandma, learned so much from her she was a practical straight forward strong woman.
Also work well under biking jeans in winter.

While I do love nylons and hose I don't find them overly effective in keeping my legs warm. I generally wear them due to how they make my legs look and feel rather than keeping me warm.
Just another man in a dress
I wear leggings just about 24/7. To the gym, shopping, etc. At age 67 others peoples opinion, as another poster commented, are none of my business.
Totally agree with Steffi (#11). I find my aching legs (neuropathy) feel better when wearing extra firm pantyhose. There is no need to wear costly compression hosiery for mild cases. Extra firm pantyhose works well and are not costly. If you hunt around the internet you can find offerings for degrees of firmness. The only problem is using bathrooms. I'd recommend emptying your bladder before donning them and leaving your home.
I even wear them under jeans in Scotland when the weather is cold. The refuge collection guys wear them too. No biggie. Your wife is a good woman.
I wore pantyhose only once to work . I had to do some outside work that required some focus and concentration, but everytime I moved it felt so good it distacted me and I barely got anything done. I came home that day and told my wife I wasn't doing that anymore.
Knit leggings will warm your legs because they restrict the flow of some air that is warmed by your own body heat. Regular nylons simply do not. They're just too thin. However, the feeling of tightness against your skin will make you believe that you are warmer, and there's nothing wrong with that. Enjoy!
I'll be wearing a pair of tights under my clothes today as I'm outside.

In addition to the extra layer of comfort, I find it much easier to pull my thermals on over pantyhose. And at the end of the day, it's much easier to remove them. They just glide right over the nylons!
I wear my thigh highs or stockings year round. Having to walk about everywhere I go.
With high BP it helps with circulation and helps keep my legs warm in the colder weather.
Also they feel so good when I put them on in the morning.
I, too have occasional leg aches. My Dr. suggested supp-hose. I looked at them. UCK. I?ve found HSR thigh?s to be the ticket. I wear them daily. So comfortable. More economical. If I get a run in one, I still have a good one. Yes, I?ve had a few pant leg glances?so what. No bathroom issues either.
I had to repair my car during winter one day 7 or 8 years ago. After 15 mn outside I realized that a pantyhose will help me with the weather... And it did. I wasn't dressing at this time.
