who still wears them?
Why or why not?
I don't. I hate them. And I think they look grannyish.

Occasionally. DH has a formal dinner every year in Feb, so I wear them with my dresses to cover up my pasty white legs and the control tops help keep it all in

I stopped wearing them when my niece made fun of me. I liked how they made my legs one color and held me in a little, but I also know that if you don't advance with the times, you look at least your age, if not older.

I wear them in winter. It's just too damn cold to go bare legged. I know they aren't much but they help.

I found this neat thing in FL, it's a body suit/underwear/girdle/bra all in one.

On the occasions I NEED a dress (cocktail party) I suck it up.

I haven't worn them in over 10 years. We had a ribbon cutting event in late July or early Aug & I was so hot I went to my car & ripped them off & have never worn them again.

I wear them to the office Christmas party to cover up my pasty legs. Yeah I know I can use self tanner or make-up or whatever but it's one night a year and nobody in this profession is paying attention to whether I am on fashion point or not, I grab a 99 cent pair of hose and toss them at the end of the night.
I'll wear tights to work sometimes so I can exploit a loophole and wear a shorter skirt. The rules just say my legs have to be covered they don't say how.

I thought pantyhose was only supposed to be used anymore to store onions? Or was it potatoes? The latter makes more sense since there are at least some toes in there

I will put on hose if I wear a dress to church in the winter time. I will also wear hose to cocktail/dinner parties I attend with my husband for his work. Once it is 70 degrees the panty hose stay in the drawer. I like the way my dress shoes fit when I wear pantyhose as opposed to going barefooted.
I was a young girl in the 80's. Colored pantyhose and big, big bangs were hot stuff. I can remember begging my mom for pantyhose to wear with my Easter dress in 6th grade.

Last time I wore them was when the dress code specified wearing them...it was a very dated dress code.

I don't wear pantyhose. I do wear black or colored tights with skirts/dresses from about October - April or whenever it gets cold.
My boss still talks about the woman who came in to interview for a very prestigious vacancy... wearing white sandals... and pantyhose... with the toe seam sticking out...

I also don't wear pantyhose, but during the winter I do wear either black or dark brown/coffee opaque (as in, NOT shiny) tights with my skirts and boots. I wear dresses and skirts to work year-round, so it is MUCH to cold to go bare-legged during the winter. If it's really snowing I'll wear pants occasionally, but not very often.

I AM a grandmother so I wear them on the very, very rare occasion that I wear a dress. I pretty much never do. I have plantar fasciitis so it's mostly athletic shoes for me. That means pants. None of my "grandmother" friends wear panty hose, but they wear sandals with almost everything.
However, I did learn to wear the socks that don't show.

I don't dress up much, so hadn't thought much about wearing them or not. Then a couple of years ago I had to go to a funeral in the middle of the summer. I dug out some pantyhose and wore them, because I though you had to at a funeral. Standing around at the burial outdoors, I looked around and no one else was, and they all had on these cute sandals. I was so jealous and decided never again for pantyhose.

Pantyhose, no. Tights (opaque - black or a fun color) with boots and a skirt in the winter, yes.

I still wear them when the occasion calls for it. It isn't really about my legs; my feet get hot, sweaty and uncomfortable in shoes, unless my feet are covered.

Honest question - what's the difference between pantyhose and tights? I always thought of them as the same thing really.

I don't. I hate them. And I think they look grannyish. Spoken like a person with nice legs.

I also hate pantyhose. I hate the feel, and I always get runs in them. I thought I was being naughty by going bare-legged, but now I see that I was accidentally in-style. Woohoo! That only happens by accident these days!

When my legs are too white, I wear thigh-highs. So much more comfortable.

I don't wear pantyhose. I do wear knee highs with my work pants because heels and socks don't mix.

I hate pantyhose so I refuse to wear skirts or dresses unless it's warm out. But I'm not sure what the point of this thread is. Tights are OK? Or those stay-up sheer leggings that look and feel like pantyhose without the top part are OK? This said, I make exceptions. If I HAVE to wear a suit or dress in fall or winter (once or twice a year), I wear pantyhose, even if I hate it. That's not OK, but the panty-hose type leggings are OK because they are considered sexy? I don't get it. ETA: I am NOT a fashionista but even I know you don't wear pantyhose with sandals! If it's warm enough to wear sandals, you don't need pantyhose. If you THINK you need to wear pantyhose with sandals, you're wrong, you need a longer dress / skirt. Or pants.
