Pantyhose

BriggsiePeawiggle · ‎03-09-2010

I used to love Legacy pantyhose. They were the only brand that were long enough for me and were so silky and soft. I know the trend is no hose, but......I live in Michigan. It gets cold here in the winter. I hate bare legs. I just hate the look -- and I don't care what age you are. I know that's just my opinion, but it's how I feel. In the winter I wear tights a lot with a skirt or leggings.....but sometimes I would like to wear lighter colored shoes. Sunday I wore some pretty pink patent shoes that looked nice with a pink sweater I had on and a gray skirt. I wasn't about to wear dark tights with light shoes. I found several pairs of Legacy on ebay, but I am just kind of sad that the line is gone.

I never wore Legacy hose but I bought Legacy tights a couple of years ago and they were awesome. Some of my favorites. I don't know if you ever tried them. The ones I had were microfiber control top.

I agree - I loved the Legacy panty hose. I also hate the look of bare legs, regardless of the skin color. Looks llike you just didn't take the time to finish dressing. Fortunately, since I retired, I still have a few pairs of Legacy pantyhose left, although they may be ready to fall apart after all this time.

Wish QVC would begin to stock a good quality stocking - preferably Legacy again - even if they don't air them. Would be nice to go online and order them. Something to think about.

I don't like bare legs, either, especially mine. They are almost blue! And I live in NC and I get cold. Also don't like putting my bare feet in my dress shoes.

I always wear L'eggs pantyhose because they are the only ones that stay up on me. We have an outlet nearby where I can buy them by the bagful and save $$.

I swear some designer guy wearing socks and long pants decided women should be bare legged. He's plenty warm. The back of my legs is not very attractive at my age and I do wear skirts and dresses to work 99% of the time. I buy the Leggs and wear them (control top helps too); keeps legs somewhat warm anyway.

@BriggsiePeawiggle,Totally agree with you! To me, a bare leg or foot looks unfinished when wearing dark fall or heavy winter clothes as well as I don't like the feel. Wearing hosiery never bothered me.

I wear Hanes Silk Reflections. They're yummy!

Bare feet aren't good for shoes either.

You might look at Nordstrom for hosiery for tall gals. Good luck!

@BriggsiePeawiggle,(For sure Amazon!).

My favorite pantyhose is Sheer Energy. I've been wearing them for years (and still wear them ... I don't do bare legs).

I only wear taupe and off black shades. For me and my skin tone, taupe is the best color for lighter shades of clothing. You can find Sheer Energy just about everywhere, but I buy mine from onehanesplace dot com.

I have bare legs in the summer with sandals and a pedicure.

I cannot, however, tolerate the feel of my bare feet in any kind of full dress shoe or loafer. Feeling the leather sweat around my feet gives me the creeps! So, in the fall, winter and most of the spring I wear pantyhose or tights, regardless of what is in style.

I agree with you about wearing hose with shoes rather than bare feet. My dilemma has always been wearing knee highs (or trouser socks) with pants and they GRAB the pant leg when I stand from a sitting position. I'm constantly having to pull my pant leg down because it's stuck to my hosiery underneath. I wish I could find a "slippery" knee high that would allow my pant legs to glide over them.
