Pantyhose in February?

[Anonymous]

At a formal event, where you’re wearing a LBD or equivalent, are you wearing pantyhose? Or do you just go bare-legged? I hate even sheers, but it feels so weird to think of not wearing any. It’s just so cold!

Wear pantyhose! Ridiculous not to wear in this weather. Many nice options out there.

And I think it’s fine not to. I hate the way they look, particularly nude pantyhose, and black, I think, looks ridiculous with a little black dress or formalwear.

No, pantyhose is for grandmas named Helen and Ruth.

Wear it or don't. It doesn't matter in any weather

As a kid growing up who was forced to wear dresses for many many years in all weathers, can we get over the myth that a thin layer of nylon on your legs is somehow warming in winter. Better than nothing? Maybe but very little better. If you hate them, its not worth it.

I was cold whether I wore them or not.

What looks ridiculous about it? Can you expand or provide photos. I can't even really see nude hose.

They (nude) just make the skin look unnatural. Everyone knows you’re wearing them, and for what? As PP described, they offer absolutely no warmth.

Naked legs look ridiculous at formal events in the winter.

You know how a many who wears dress shoes without socks with a suit would look dumb? Same thing.

Nude or black stockings with your LBD.

PS - I think women should poll their husbands. I bet most men prefer women to wear them.

I’ve never understood this bc actual pantyhose (like sheers) provide no warmth. And tights barely do. So do whatever you think looks good. I’d rather wear a pantsuit than actua pantyhose.

I had an event Saturday night and wore sheer pantyhose. It (1) kept my legs warmer than if they were bare and (2) hid my dry winter skin. Win-win.
