They’ve always been an old lady thing for me. A blood flow aide in the hospital vibe.
More skin or leggings that synthetically shape a certain silhouette are a big improvement over hosiery. |

Those were the L'eggs brand. Freestanding circular display. I think Hane's was the market leader before that media onslaught, but I'll defer to out resident marketing folks on that one.

I do see women in cooler/colder months wearing them, or if it’s a formal event- but nowhere near as common as it used to be . I also believe they’re more widely worn in Europe and Asia. When I lived in Germany and Italy for six years, young women nearly always wore them; they typically dress nicer than American women overall. I recently have traveled to Korea for work, and when I think about it, more women wear them than do not. The U.S.? Women are typically fat sows who dress down.

The cutoff for this is very close. My wife is 40 and I'm 43 and sometimes our views on old fashioned are jarring.
Mom wore hose as a professional woman. My sister had hose as a kid for events with dresses. Frankly my old self is tired of seeing ever nasty person's skin hang out of everything. Lol |

I'm 41. My mom wore them when I was a kid, but I've never seen anyone of my generation or younger wearing them unless maybe for a costume or something. I assumed they were spawned from the conflict between a desire to wear shorter dresses and skirts and a conservative view of exposed skin. As people got more comfortable with women having their legs exposed, this weird, unnecessary garment just went away. Just a theory.

I remember my sister getting in trouble when we were young for always getting runs in her pantyhose during recess at school.

It's been a number of years since I've worn pantihose.

I use panty hose all the time.
I use it to make me look Asian when I’m robbing banks….and fill it with copper sulphate crystals and drag it around behind a canoe to kill moss/algae in ponds. |

The guy goes "Women don't wear those anymore. Where would you buy them? Where you been?" I looked around. Yeah, busy building on a busy street and not a single woman wearing them. How the **** did I just now notice this? How long has this been going on? 5? 10 years? |
