Thank the powers someone else actually noticed this. It was driving me crazy.

I too can do without the magic of pantyhose - that is if it means some dude will be kindly feeding me his seed and ordering me about. *shudder* 

I wear pantyhose daily and have also worn stockings & garter belt.  A female leg looks much better in hose.  A bare leg looks as though someone didn't have time to dress properly and makes sure all the blemishes are visible.

SailorMars is right that is a great picture.

Thanks Liz! Your checks in the mail, too.    I can think of worse ways to go broke.    You guys are the best!

I love pantyhose/stockings/tights under skirts or dresses.  I've tried "underdressing" like you described under pants and jeans and just found it uncomfortable.  The pantyhose "stick" to the pants too much and pull and rub in funny ways that just ruins it.  It was something I tried as a way to get some femininity into my clothing without showing the world, but it never worked out well for me.

QuoteSpin that darn clasp round to the front between your breasts and do it up, then spin it back around the the back and put your arms through the straps. Who cares if this is "cheating" at least 80% of cis women do it this way too. It's easier.

I've been wearing pantyhose or stockings under pants every day for over 30 years.  Not a problem.

I notice people making a distinction between pantyhose and tights. I thought that was an American vs British thing and they are the same item of clothing. Am I wrong?

Tights and panties under my male clothes was how I started. Still love tights under my trousers(pants) when I'm pretending to be male but love them even more under a skirt/dress. Makes my blotchy legs look much better. Heavy ones in cold weather and light ones in warmer weather. Legs need to be shaved for the full effect and best feeling though.

And I think all your avatar pictures look great.

In North America, tights refer to heavier material and pantyhose lighter, sheer material.

I really don't get the attraction to hose or wearing them but i know lots of people like them at this is cool.

I do wear tights and love some of the pretty patterns and colors available, but those are mainly for wearing when i want to put on a skirt or dress and it is too chilly out for bare legs. I don't find it very exciting.

The truth is i have never really found anything i wore to be that exciting, to me it is just my clothes and my presentation. When people tell me i look cute though i really do like it. I love fashion and plan a lot of what i wear, sometimes i spend way too much time on that.

So tell me what it is about hose. Is it the sheer feel? the act of putting it on?  do they trigger memories of some past beautiful person?

I absolutely love the feel of pantyhose!!  Especially right after shaving my legs!   I know that they are not really in style right now but I sure wish they were...the feel of a dress and nylons to me is just heavenly.

They just make a leg look better.  Someone referred to them as "makeup for the legs".  I have seen a lot of women with bare legs and don't understand why they want to show off all the blemishes.

I love it because it empowers your legs with some personality of their own:









I'm not out at work yet but, for the last couple of months or so, I decided to slowly swap my socks for tights like these. They can be seen at my ankles between trousers and shoes and they stand out because of their patterns. Roses, polka dots, strips, hearts... I love to feel I'm showing something on my legs, and it kinda sends a subtle? message to my coworkers.

There's that. But women just don't really wear them anymore and it makes us stand out. I'm not saying this for everyone, but I'm trying to fly under the radar. Best way to do that is to live by the old adage, "when in Rome"....
   I think many women felt they were forced to wear them their whole working life, so once they could, they just flat out ditched em'. Most women I know curl up their nose and get rabid at just the mention of the things..lol.

Fortunately, that appears to be changing with younger women.

Exactly this - now patterned, plain and colored opaque tights you definitely see in winter. I think the shorter skirt, tights and boots look is quite fashionable and at least here is worn quite often.

For tights, this is a good example of what i wear: https://www.sockdreams.com/bamboo-rayon-cable-tights.html
