does anyone still wear nylons much

[Jess42]

Got plenty of those too

Ok. Just as long as I ain't the only one. Of course my closet is open and the light on but Jessica's closet though, we won't even go what is in there but stilettos, leather and some other stuff I won't even mention.

As long as I ain't the only one. Thank you, now I don't feel so bad. And I mean really bad. But the guys always like a bad girl, trans or not. I have friends that guys are actually scared of or at least intimidated by and they are ciswomen. When we do go out together, the guys seem to think I am the least intimidating. And then when I tell them I'm trans then it's about 60 my way and 40 my girlfriends' way. I don't know whether to be offended or not. Of course there isn't anything normal about us or where we go when we all go out so...

I've seen  in my area most don't, I don't because I can't seem to keep from getting runs when putting them on and that gets expensive.

I wear them (with a garter belt) all the time when I am dress elegant... love them !

I need to make a shopping list.

Yep. I would. Show off what the good lord or hormones gave you. I do when I can. Don't be shy though, you may have to go to a "less than reputable store". Of course I ain't shy though. Mostly anyway.

I think I need to hit up one of those stores, too! 

That being said.... I love wearing tights.  I don't wear pantyhose much, because I like to wear the colors (under pants for work normally)  I've only been out in a skirt once, and it was bare-legged.  Unfortunately, it is a little warm to wear them most of the time where I am (S. Florida).

Oh yeah, dressed normally bare legged is the only way to go. The only thing hosiery does is mess up their interest especially if you have good legs.

But those stores? I ain't too proud to shop in them. There is one in Amarillo TX and I have got some really "good" outfits in there. No complaints yet. Go into a shop like that dressed and in full femme mode, well let's just say... Nah, I ain't gonna' say. But I will say anyone remotely female walks into one of those shops and freakin' jaws drop to the floor. I swear I could her them hit the floor. Many times. It or it did have truck parking, if it is till even there, and a lot of drivers and I went to the either the Flying Jackass of the TA after they hit on me in that shop. I let them know up front and about 3 out of 10 lost interest beforehand.

I remember one time there was a Christian group taking trucking company names down in the parking lot and threatening to call the company on the drivers. I asked them if they wanted me to pick them up any XXX magazines or movies while I was in there. Gawd, 10 people, 7 of them women and calling me a slut and whore gave me the biggest boost of confidence I think I have ever had in my life. Of course I gave them the number of my dispatcher and never heard anything about it. Too bad 'cause my dispatcher was cute and bi and I asked him personally if he heard anything from anybody in Amarillo TX and he said no. But I did spend a couple of nights at his place when I came to town.

Never be intimidated or shamed by anyone. Try to shame them and if not, something good may come of it. It did with me even temporarily.

BTW I wasn't wearing nylons when I encountered this group. I was bare legged and in a miniskirt and wedges with my pretty pink toes peaking through and pink nails with a spaghetti strap tank. And I'm kind of ashamed to say, big hair ( Texas in the mid to late 90s ) and made up like.... Well, I ain't gonna' say but it was pretty heavy. So what they were calling me, I wasn't denying.

Since I wear a dress every day, I wear either pantyhose, stockings or tights every single day. I love 'em. I have pretty nice legs and it's nice to hear compliments about them or what I'm wearing, but I have a S.O. I really love, so I try not to listen too much.

Well, I have an SO too. But he don't really dictate what I wear. I always ask if my but looks too big in this or that and he lies and says no. I ask if I look fat in this or that and he lies and says no. I ask him, "What do you think about this?" and he still lies and say it looks good. Either my boyfriend is blind, truly likes he way I look or one helluva liar. I'm thinking either blind or lying just to get something that he wants.

Not nylons, no. Tights, yes. Spanx tight end tights are sheer enough to pass for nylons at times but sturdy as hell for most daily type wear. They come in at the medium price range but they're the best pair I've ever had and they come in a bunch of fun but suitably understated colors (as compared to American Apparel or HUE) I think in this fashion landscape you can still rock a colored tight and look chic if you're clever and confident.

I wear them a bit. I actually like them, but I do go through them quickly. Destroyed a pair on Wednesday after just one wearing. It helps to keep my fingernails filed and to unroll them slowly, but I've just resigned myself to their fragility and get used to replacing them after a handful of wearings.

A pair of silk gloves is a must dear!

I got a pair at Nordstrom (Tyson Corner) at the lingerie department made by Givenchy specially for handling fine hosiery.

I must say that I wear stockings with garters out of the convenience they provided when you go to the bathroom... hassle free

but also they make me feel like... a femme fatal

I do want the nylons with the line down the back.

panty hose can be quite a hassle .

[ImagineKate]

Used to like it and wear it regularly but grew to hate it. Runs and bathroom issues plus I like my legs now.

they are called "cuban heels" and they are the baddest of at all

I am thinking a quick trip up the beltway might be in order! I didn't even know these things existed.

[Cindy]

During winter yes, summer no. 45C and panti-hose is a no no.

For an elegant and sexy feel and fun end to the evening  garter belt and stay up stockings. The stockings don't sag and the garter belt doesn't get pulled down and of course he hasn't a clue, just goes nuts as nature intends

[carolinejeo]

When I first started transition in the 60s it was the only way!

They are quite sexy but as noted above can be chilly in the winter.

I think men like them more than women as they don't have to wear them. The suspenders ping occasionally and it is so easy to ladder or make holes in expensive stockings doing up the suspenders.
