I wore them once, this year actually, I think in April, with an outfit. I got them on, hated the feel of them (too constricting in the waist - they were control top (because I needed some control up there, lol)) and took them off. That was my brief experience with pantyhose. I threw them away and I probably won't wear them again unless I need to cover up my chalk legs, which won't happen anytime soon Meghan

My vote for best look, feel, & are of reasonable cost; good old Leggs Sheer Energy(prefere waistband free). There's reasons these have been around so long.

I've always like the look and feel of hose. Black, of course.

However, now I find them both a pain and a trick not to tear with the constant up and down associated with too much coke or coffee. Plus, they're expensive with a planned obsolescence of about 2-3 wears.

All that said, never in the summer (too hot) and if money were no object then Wolford are simply the best. Who's got an extra 30-40 dollars laying around?

There are many advantages of stockings versus pantyhose/tights:
They can stay in place when going to the bathroom... and since you won't have to pull them up again  you'll never by mistake tuck your skirt or dress in them even if you put too much rhum or vodka in your coke or whiskey in your coffee ! 
If you ladder one you don't have replace the whole pair. Just take one from the next pair and then use the one left next time you need to.
Safe, simple, economic and so much more comfortable and sexy of course.

I find that after completely removing all leg hair pantyhose now feel so much better and stay in place. I find that 12 denier or less are silky and feel wonderful on my legs. The extra cost for good quality is worth it. I also like stay ups and stockings.

I really like the concept of stockings, both in terms of potty stops and quick access. That said, I find that many of them are either too short for me (I'm a tall girl) or can be tight at the top of the thigh. The rubber material on the stay ups is yucky to me, and the garter belt thing kind of tricky.

Oh well, I guess you can't have it all. 

I like the new patterned tights that have hit the market. They really are neat and can complete an outfit in a very interesting, flattering way.
