I had to a couple of years ago for GS wedding and I was so uncomfortable. Of course I got a run and was even more uncomfortable. I try to avoid at all costs but older legs need help sometimes. Smiley Sad Many use self tanner instead of panty hose torture.

There are some temporary leg make ups on the market that are water resistant and would seem to be easier to use than self tanner. I think Sally Hansen and Jurgens both have one

The Q sells one too but more pricy

Back in the day I would buy Donna Karan sheer hoisery and they were wonderful. If I was careful I could make them last for a long time.

 

These days, in the spring/summer if I wear a dress where my legs show, I use makeup and use a setting spray to keep it in place. To be honest, I use my mistake make up (tinted moisturizer) mixed w/ some cheap "tan" colored make up and apply to my legs. Makes my legs look really nice and it's a way to use up my mistakes. I can customize the color by the amount of the tan make up I use. 

 

In the winter I wear opaque tights that match my boots/skirt.

@Andreatoo  Thank you, didn't think of that when I was posting, certainly makes more sense.

You betcha. I never got the memo that they went out but at my age, there's no way I'm going bare-legged!

I haven't worn them in years! I've never had pretty legs, so I usually wear maxi dresses in hot weather and tall boots with dresses/skirts in cold weather

Bare legs for more dressy events look tacky to me.  The last time a few years ago I went to a wedding, I wore thigh high - comfortable and a more polished look.  I don't follow what some say is in  or out fashion wise - I wear what I like!!

Sometimes for conference meetings at work, need to wear hose.  So, yes.

I haven’t worn hose in 5 years and hopefully won’t for another 5 years.
