I wear them in the winter... because I think bare legs look ridiculous with a winter coat & gloves... but only sheer black or extremely sheer practically invisible nude sometimes with fishnets over & only with closed toe shoes or boots

I wear pantyhose then. Sheer ones that match my skin color as close as possible, which in the winter may as well be ivory or black ones, whichever goes best with thw dress. I need something on my legs. But I only wear them with close toed shoes. I also wear tights in many colors and patterns. Sent from my SPH-L710 using proboards

I don't wear dresses or skirts/suits that often, but when I do - or if I have to dress more "formally", I suck it up and wear panty-hose IF I don't have stockings with the lacy elastic top (like these) - which are really comfortable - and a lot cooler than panty-hose.
In a casual setting, it's ok to go bare-legged, but in a professional office environment, I think hose should be worn if wearing a dress/skirt or suit. .

Pantyhose still exist?!?!?
I wear patterned tights or leggings during the winter... Generally only with knee boots.

Hey, having that "little secret" under your business suit could give you a confidence boost at work.

@debthaven2 - is it safe to assume you are not a regular attendee during the semi-annual Paris Fashion Week events?

I never wear them. They make my hairy legs itch.

I just don't feel right with naked legs under a skirt in a business environment. My legs are well-shaped but have a few splotches and veins here and there, which is par for the course at my age (61). I mostly wore pants to work, which solved the problem, and had some near-skin-tone pantyhose when I wore the skirt.

I don't really care if someone goes bare-legged with sandals and their legs are white, but for the love of God, PLEASE take care of your feet! I'm not talking about anyone specifically here, of course. I mean in general. I've seen gals/ladies out and about with cute shoes and unlotioned feet. Ugh. I'm not even saying you have to have a pedicure. Just make your feet look presentable seeing as how we all are exposed to them. Or, maybe that's just a pet peeve of mine.

Tights in the winter, hose in the spring, but from 80 up, forget it! My mom wears support hose all the time, due to bad veins, etc., from being on her feet in the restaurant industry for 30 years.

I avoid them but have them in case I get dressed up. By the time I do that, the panty hose will probably be deteriorated.
