Tap Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Over the years here, I have seen many 'what should I wear posts'. Almost every time, people say "don't wear hose, they are out of style". This weekend I was at an event with about 200 people dressed in anything from office wear to satin evening gowns. I started looking around noticed, remarkably that 1/2 of the women (yep, I tallied) were wearing some kind of hose, from shear to black. So, while they many not be 'required' now, they are definitely still being worn in our area, Portland, OR. Maybe it is the cold winter weather or the pasty white skin from lack of sunshine (me!), but if you in the PNW, you can still wear hose to a party and not look out of place.

kewb Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I don't care if they are out of style. My legs look better with hose so I wear them. Unless, of course, I am wearing sandals. Long live the foundation garment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwin Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I wear tights all winter long, and pantyhose from time to time. I really do NOT like bare legs for myself and I know I am not the only one - around here, anyway :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 They're too hot and uncomfortable to wear in Florida, so I'm really glad we're no longer expected to wear them. I only wear them when I absolutely have to, a very formal or dressy occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I wear them in the winter, especially if I'm wearing a shorter skirt. I hate my legs without hose, but somehow I feel like I can get away with it in the summer time. I don't care if it's "in" or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I recently lost some weight and tryed a skirt from the back of my closet and it fit!!! So I put on hose and I forgot how nice my legs look in hose!! I think I will always be a hose person (at least when its not too hot!)

Ellie Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 They're still being worn everywhere. I wore them to church just this past Sunday, because I was wearing a nice church dress, not a summer dress with strappy sandals, KWIM?

DianeW88 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I think of tights or patterned hose (in darker shades like gray or black) as something entirely different from flesh colored panty hose. The former are VERY in. The latter...not at all (at least here in Salt Lake). I haven't worn flesh colored panty hose since the nineties.

I'll wear black hose, but no flesh colored ones. I'll wear tights of almost any color but pink. And I won't wear any of them in the summer.

Lara in Colo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I guess that's true, I haven't worn flesh colored in a very long while, but cream and black (esp with a pattern) I love, love, love. Lara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
