Pantyhose or no Pantyhose



Recommended Posts

Ok so i need some advice. I am going clubing this weekend in Atlantic city with my friend. Well for the first time since prom (like 10 years ago) i am wearing a dress. I found this really cute black club dress. My legs are not in the best shape i mean they are getting skinny but i mean i have bad veins and they are pasty white. My mom said i should wear pantyhose but i thought now adays that pantyhose are not in style. I know a lot of 20 something girls have never even put on a pair on. I don't what to look like i am 60 wearing a pair to a club but maybe a nude pair of thigh highs just to make them look smooth and so you don't see my veins. What do you 20 something girls think. should i just throw on some self tanning and say F*** it who cares what they look like or do you like i should wear a nice nude pair of thigh highs.

I always wear pantyhose. Maybe it is because I live in Korea. Most women wear pantyhose here with short shirts, dresses, shorts etc. I think it just looks better. I hate my legs too so I either wear tights and then pantyhose socks that go up to the tights or full pantyhose

Wearing black pantyhouse with a dress is actually in style now. Some girls also wear the sheer beyonce/lady gaga pantyhouse. I do wear the black ones. At target they have some with patterns so they don't like so old fashioned.

If you can find a good pair of thigh highs I'd say go with those. Or else just lotion up really well. I hate to wear nylons so I just stick with lotion.

Even though they DO make your legs look better, personally I think they are something only a 60 year old would wear.

Yes, most of us women over 40 have a few things about our legs that pantyhose would camouflage well, but they're just not in style anymore. I wouldnt be caught dead wearing them unless it was required for work. Tights and funky ones yes, but nude ones, hmmmm, dont think so.

Formal, dressy occasions for me ALWAYS involve a spray tan (for an especially good result) and I pretty much keep my legs fake tanned anyway all year round, I just do it myself twice a week or so.

thanks everyone for your response i bought some Jenkins self tan well it is lotin that over a couple of days gives you some color and it isn't bad. I am so fair that self tanners turn me orange but this one isn't to bad because it is more a lotion then anything. I think i will skip the hose and go bare. If they don't like it then they don't have to look at my legs

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
