Many, many moons ago I wore pantyhose with skirts and dresses for work. I wore knee highs with my slacks. One day I woke up and decided I didn't want to do that anymore. Pantyhose are implements of torture. I'm telling you, those waistbands are ridiculously tight. I'm not sure if the waistband of pantyhose is more uncomfortable than those clippy things on garter belts that we used to hold our stockings up. You had to sit on them! Really? But at least the garter belt wasn't a girdle our Moms had to wear. And remember fishnet stockings? You'd have an indentation from the fishnet on your foot or leg from the pressure of the fabric. Good Lord what were we thinking? And knee high stockings? They didn't keep my feet warm. They wore out quickly and it was ridiculously expensive to keep myself well supplied with pantyhose and knee highs that didn't have snags or runs in them. I even had a pantyhose club card from the local department store. Buy 10 pair get the 11th free!
Enough I say! No more pantyhose. Actually, I still occasionally wear them because I don't like to go to formal events with bare legs. When Nicole got married Meghan was in her wedding party. I insisted we buy Meghan a pair of pantyhose for the event. She wasn't happy about it. When we got to the wedding venue and were getting dressed, none of the other bridesmaids were wearing pantyhose. Neither was the bride. I told Meghan "ok, you're off the hook". She took the pantyhose off and gave me an "I told you so" look. Bare legs are the new formal wear.
