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 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.

I do, but I have the same problem with getting runs when putting them on. I'm trying to be extra careful now to avoid ruining them so fast.
I see a lot of girls here wearing nice stockings and pantyhose.

I wear them all the time!

they are really comfy and cold repellent though.

I almost always wear them with my pale pasty legs. After living just across the river from NYC most of my life and a recent sprint in rural WV there are regional as well as generational factors. And when you think about it, what percentage of women do you see in skirts? Over 30 y/o?

You do have to be careful with runs on sheer stockings. Support followed by textured stockings are far more resilient.

I love wearing pantyhose.. It was the first piece of female clothing I ever wore.. So it has some sentimental meaning to me. I actually still have that pair.. Don't fit as a was 14 when I wore them.. And they got a nice run in them.

In the winter months I wear them almost every day.. Because my work uniform is above knee skirt.. So my legs are white in the winter.. Plus the thicker ones add warmth.

I prefer though highs, as I don't need to pull them off when I go to the ladies. But I do wear the full ones a lot. As with shorter skirts.. You don't want the elastic to show.. Getting runs in them is an issue.. But mine do last a while before breaking. I have learnt how to put them on with longer nails.. Very carefully.

anything other than black tights these days are big NO NO's

Ladders or laddering we call it, or runs, I wear them all the time, but can be expensive, I average about 5 wears, but not more than 10, ladder resistant tights still ladder or run, I resently distroyed an expensive pair getting out of a cab, after only 1 wear.

The highs or hold ups are the best, saves pulling them off going to the ladies, but prefer the full tights in winter, ladders or runs are a big issue, I am careful Noleen, but still get runs in expensive tights, annoying and can ruin a whole look, the fashion industry just wants women shopping and spending, if they ever do invent genuine ladder resistant nylons, sales will just go down.

I wear knee-highs all the time, full length pantyhose only occasionally. Considering that knee highs are like $0.33 and I wear longer skirts/dresses usually it doesn't make sense to wear panty hose as much. It is also much easier to prevent runs in knee highs.

What I have noticed is this, the younger someone is the less likely they are to wear them and also the hotter it is the less likely people are to wear them.

I wear knee high most days at work.   I do wear a to the knees skirt sometimes and then I do wear hose.  I like what they do for my legs but so many runs.

Nope. Not unless it is a really special occasion and more formal than informal. Other than that, it is the bare legs. With a garter belt, maybe some fishnets or the type of hosiery that has the seem running up the back of the legs but that is an estremely different "special occasion" though.

I do for cosplay. Other than that, just when it's cold and I'm wearing a skirt.

Black nylons in winter, you betcha! They look great and keep my legs warm.

Summertime though I don't. This coming summer in Sydney I'm hoping to actually get a bit of colour in my legs!

I like thick 100 dernier or so black tights, you can even use them as leggings with a longish top!

I'll wear knee highs all the time instead of socks and thigh highs when its a bit nippy out. As for full out pantyhose, I have started wearing them less and less in favor of stockings

Winter.

The ones from Victorias Secret really hold up. I've gone through whole winters with four or so pair and I wear a lotta skirts so they are employed often.

good to know

Wow. I must be the only less than reputable girl here since I like the fishnets or the seem in the back with a garter belt, thong and... well I just ain't gonna' say anything else.
