Who Allowed This?

I've noticed a trend recently of girls wearing various tights/nylons/pantyhose under shorts.

Who started this? This is not attractive, pretty or fun. This must stop.

Fishnets under destroyed jeans is cute, but THIS?

Hi Kelise,

Living here in the land of perpetual gloom (aka Mordor), my legs are so white they're luminescent! You've probably never heard of a tanning salon, but around here, it's either that or wear stockings!

Love, Kat

For we age gifted women, nylons and tights can cover a multitude of sins. :rolleyes:

I think it comes out of the resurgence of rollerdirby! I went to a match in Santa Barbra and shorts with fishnets was the uniform of the day! so it must have evolved some into just tights or nylons.

I dont think I'll be wearing it though!

I personally like this style. Not something I could ever wear myself, but I see nothing wrong with it. What I do have a problem with is leggings/tights as pants. Ugh.

There was a fashion in the 70s called hot pants - as an alternative to mini skirts which had become micro minis and a little too short for most girls - they were usually rather dressy but very short shorts - never really cut offs at that time and to make the outfit complete they were supposed to be worn with pantyhose or tights.

In cold weather they were to be worn under Maxi coats.

This new look is probably a dressed down version of the original.

Love ya,

Sally

Not a fan, but then again, I have really white legs too so I think I'll just stick to pants. In the event someone is wondering I do not tan, I freckle.

I agree complete but will add a sweater dress to this as well.

As for Leggings with shorts it looks a bit off to me and I am an 80s girl the whole way. One other time I feel leggings are not suited is worn with a formal/cocktail type dress, this is a nylons only thing.

Fashion is an ebb and flow...Nostalgia always comes back. In the 40's and 50's it was gartered stockings. In the 70's and 80's pantyhose was the dress code. In the 90's and now it's the bare leg. But we are seeing a reimergence of the gartered stockings. I could see myself doing this. Tights and hose rock! But, there are appropriate times for each as stated by Megan.

Not the biggest fan of jean shorts with tights. But i absolutely love a pair of Dressy shorts with them. Black shorts to black, or black to navy. Grey with blues, greens and even purples. At times white leggings or textured tights in the fall are all some of the combos i have seen that i thought were so cute together.

Actually, I was wrong. I'm totally rocking this look right now and it's not half bad. I don't feel as exposed as I would in short shorts alone and I think it's quite comfy. I saw a girl at the mall yesterday who was wearing olive (camo) coloured shorts with lace patterned tights. It was really cute, but her Uggs killed it. I think it really depends on who's wearing it and what the shorts and tights look like.

Oh! Natalie. Uggs! yuck, horrible, disgusting. I can do shorts and tights. But Uggs burn at my very soul on the sheer horror they are. I am sorry that you had to witness such an atrocity lol :P I mean if women want there feet to look big and fat i will gladly trade my feet away for something smaller. lol, feet transplants.

Note, it's not the tights/leggings/hose/stockings I have a problem with. Personally, I love all of those and if I could find the right shoes, I'd wear them more often. It's the pairing of them with shorts that's the problem. Skirts and dresses are fine, but not shorts. It's like guys wearing black socks with shorts, it's just not right.

Uggs and Crocs are the 2 biggest footwear atrocities known to woman. The only time I can forgive Uggs (and this is just barely) is with skinny jeans. I just don't think they look right with anything. Crocs, there's no excuse for lol.

I think you either need to wear a heel or basic black flats with tights. Just me though.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
