Leg attire

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this topic has been discussed here, I did a search for pantyhose and came up empty handed. 

I'm a nylon lover. I love how they look and more so I love how they feel. 

My favorite nylons to wear are suntan sheer energy however today a pair of cheerleader panthyhose showed up on my doorstep. They don't feel as good as sheer energy but they look fantastic and they cover up a lot. I'm not sure if they'd cover up hair . They do hide all the blemishes on my legs.

What's your favorite leg attire?

Wow Marcie, I've never considered patterned tights.  I'll have to look into them.  I have some plain black ones I wear in the fall and winter, that's all

For me I find panty hose and tights to confining I have found that thigh high tights and hose work much better!

There hard to find in the US  Bit they can be had on the web from Europe for a very low cost!

different denier (thin or thick)  they call the Hold-ups!  wonderful I' so happy the cool weather is back!   hugs Eden

For my part, I love pantyhose and tights. I have an uncountable number of pairs, colors, paterns. I don't get to wear them much as I live in a rural area and usually end up wearing jeans or shorts so I don't stick out like a sore thumb.

 

I WOULD however be interested in a fashion site dedicated to wearing tights, and how to fit them in to more combinations :D

I have lots of different colours of tights that I have collected over the years but have seldom gone beyond black and burgundy perhaps due to the attention they would get. I started to wear stockings in the summer as I find tights uncomfortable when worn all day. I am still not sure about them but they are good in the hotter weather. As mentioned by Redjezika, they do hide blemishes so are useful even when it is hot.

Now the winter is here I wear my fleece lined tights. To the casual observer they may look more like leggings due to their thickness. Last spring in the sales I got some cable knit tights. They will make an interesting change due to their patterning.

Most of the time round home and immediate area I wear leggings rather than tights.

Well Kaylee, I think that applies to most anywhere here in So Cal.  While I do see more tights paired with various outfits since it's cooling off a little here, it's not like the Northwest, Midwest, or East coast.  Tights, tunic/dress, and boots/booties are uniform in those areas from what I've experienced.  Although these last couple of days, I've switched from my usual dress pants/blouse/flats to tights and booties.  While the rest of our sisters here will laugh at me, I find the mid-60's to low 50's in the late afternoon & evenings "cold" so definitely tights for me.  :-)

I actually stopped wearing them in May just before I came out at work. I did wear some black pantyhose to work in June one day though for a business function. Not a pleasant experience--definitely too warm.

I do love pattern tights with dresses and skirts.

Leggings for exercise and everyday wear. Just bought a pair of cute "camo" leggings recently, and I love how my lower body looks these days wearing leggings. I can be proud of what I've accomplished, not afraid to show it....

It was pantyhose (or "tights" as they are known here in the UK) that plunged me into discovering I am a CD. Nowadays I wear suspenders and stockings They're cooler around the groin, make life easy for a trip to the loo, sensual to wear, etc. Since I wear them a lot, I choose 60 denier lycra-dense stockings that look like socks to the casual eye. So I wear them around home, sometimes work, too. I can't come out, so I keep them discreet (although my wife is fully aware of my CD life). They are so warm and slinky in cold weather. In the summer I do have to leave them off.

I also adore wet-look leggings, fine low-denier stockings, etc, too!

I have to say that I LOVE tights of all colors. I have tons of them, stockings too. In the cooler weather I wear them almost every day under my work clothes. The extra layer helps keep my legs warm, plus I just love how they feel.  I have said many times, one of the best feelings in the world is freshly shaved legs, lotion, and a pair of tights. 

Tights were also for me, my first foray into cross dressing. I'm not sure what ever made me try on a pair of my sisters tights, but it was what started it all.

I know what you mean Briana, California (specifically so cal) is more a bare legs area. Strange how clothing styles are sometimes... "geographical" in nature... even when weather allows for it.

Deep down, I know I belong someplace like San Fransisco or Seattle (where you may see it more often). It's just stuck in my personality. I flew to SF for a day a few months back, and everyone was staring at me because I was in shorts, and everyone else was wearing heavy coats ha ha.

Viviennemichelle, I tried Stocking HQ, but firstly... it's dangerous to send me to a site that sells tights ha ha. I already have... "more than any woman should have" according to a friend.

Anyhoo, I was unable to get into the forums. Blocked by an error, and ignored by support. My goal was really to find ways to incorporate tights into a more casual wardrobe.

Hugs,

Kaylee

Kaylee,

I just got an order from target today. 2 pairs Q+ leggs sheer energy and a pair of sheer silken mist thigh highs. Needless to say both fit amazing and the sheer energy has a better "shine" than the cheerleader hose. I couldn't be happier.....though my shaved legs look really good and "shine" quite fine without any hose. 

 

Happy dressing?

For me it's Hanes Stockings in silken mist. I love the Barley Black, Nude, Suntan and Off White colors. Also love lace stockings.  I also prefer garter belts for the ease and comfort plus there totaly feminine to me. Amber

Well, I kind of had the unique experience of being advised by my doctor to wear tights for circulation purposes and so I took that ball and ran with its,

i wear Spanx tights with the high waist and shape could ntouring.

i am far more comfortable wearing tights or pantyhose than wearing socks. In fact, last week I added a pair of yoga pants over my Spanx and the look was just amazing! That evening as my wife and daughter and I were sitting down for supper, they both noticed the look and I blushed with pride.

i am battling Lymphatic Leukemia, and so have decided that I am at least going to be comfortable every day. I am shopping around now for comfortable clothes that accentuate my best feature(my legs) and won't draw too much attention as I get out and about.

the hard part is finding camisoles for my body type. I am a BBW and most Camisoles simply are way too short and never even cover my belly button. I wish there were more options for people as tall as me. I would prefer to wear a camp as my top than t-shirts over bras and such.

i do feel lucky that my family understands what I am going through.

First of all my thoughts and prayers are with you as you battle your leukemia.

Old Navy has tall and Xtra tall leggings and yoga pants however, these are available online only. I just had a couple pairs delivered last week. (I am over 6'2") they are plenty long.

For your cami's try Long Tall Sally, online store

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
