Dunno... just a thought...
If you and he have a playful relationship, at least sometimes -- you know, laughing and joking and lightly touching -- and if you ever arrange to have "dates" at home -- make one of those for a Friday or Saturday night. Get two bags of stuff ready, one with the replacement hosiery and another with... a couple of dresses, bra, garter belt, actual nylons, panties, makeup etc. And get yourself a pair of male-looking pants and a flannel shirt.
After dinner (or whenever) come back into the room thus attired and carrying the first bag. Tell him that y'all are doing a dressup party -- and "Here's what I took from you; I want you to have it back." Hand him the bag. He WILL look inside... and turn several shades of crimson. Stay with him. "Honey, c'mon, let's have some fun!"
After he's into that stuff, haul out the second bag, dump it on the floor/sofa/bed and say, "Now I want you to get serious about having our fun! Let me do your makeup and we'll just see how you look."
Kid him along into it... Guys like to be kidded, but not teased. Get the tone right!
Hope that helps.
