Stockings/Tights

I do wear dresses and opaque tights sometimes but I have hot feet so I wear leggings and open mules in the house and put socks and ankle boots on when I go out.

I do also have some very thick woollen tights if it is really cold out and I know I will be outside for a long time.

Opaque tights under dresses in winter, with ankle boots

Stockings.. I think once when I was 13 and my mum insisted I not wear socks. Horrible things....Tights all the way....

Rarely wear 'thin' tights but today, under my cord trousers, I am wearing thick, velvet lined tights (from 'Primani'). I have been cosy and warm, despite the weather. Does anyone know where I can buy grey thin tights? I have a dress which looks best with grey tights but can't find any.

Velour lined thermal footless leggings, under dress or trousers plus short boots.

The last time I wore tights was three years ago when I wore a dress for DS's 50th birthday.
I find tights uncomfortable over my stoma so prefer to wear trousers and socks.

Those who find tights don't fit properly should have a look at Snag tights. They're brilliant.
I don't wear trousers so mostly it's dresses with leggings and same-colour socks. Great in winter to have M&S heatgen ones with warm socks and boots. Coloured Snag tights when going out and wanting to look a bit fancy.

Again, try Snag.

I can remember stockings making a big comeback in the eighties after tights had mostly replaced them in the seventies. Then they seemed to fall in popularity again and most women I know who wear hosiery say tights are far more practical and stockings have become more of a bedroom thing.

I wear Snag tights daily! No problems with hygiene (cotton gusset). I love them!

I suppose tights are a lot easier to wear than stockings, pull them on, rather than faffing about with suspenders and belts, and the modern designs are far better than the putrid shades I remember from the seventies.
