If you wear sanitary napkins and like how they secure your pads/undies in place, you can get them at drug stores and grocers, online(amazon/fashion), target/walmart, dept stores and discounters, dance/skating outfitters, and party stores/costume shops. OP, you don't need to wear them if you are hot, but if you get your period or have stiff shoes, go for it!

OP, the last time I wore pantyhose was for an interview in 1995.

I wear pantyhose or tights with skirts in the summer because I don't like having sweaty bare feet in shoes, don't want to have to shave my legs obsessively, and it cuts down on chub rub. I think it's socially acceptable to wear or not wear, whichever you think is more comfortable. Although it depends what other country the delegation is coming from -- it's a more conservative country, tights might be a good idea.

Heck no! You won't even be able to find decent ones. I tried to find pantyhose a few months ago because I was going to a funeral in Boston. Even Nordstrom didn't have a good selection. Plus it will be too hot. Pantyhose are dead.

I don't wear hose, but I do wear tights in the winter. I think if you want to wear hose you need to find the closest match to your skintone/least obvious ones, but like PPs I don't even know where you should be shopping to find that.

If you're asking if anyone will think you're underdressed without hose the answer is no.

Right? That tells you everything you need to know. Back in the day, i used to buy them at Hechts metro center during my lunch breaks. I don't know where you'd buy them anymore except online or cheap ones at CVS?

I find pantyhose are like the perfect slippery ultrathin socks for work pumps, heels, and flats. No blisters or callouses on my feet. How snug and broken in are your shoes? If they are brand new, I'd slip the pantyhose in your purse at a minimum in case of chafing.

How old are you? The only women I see in professional environments wearing pantyhose are at least 60 if not closer to 70.

I would not, but I never wear pantyhose, no matter what. very few work places require/expect them today.

But you should do what makes you comfortable. Will being bare-legged will make you self-conscious? Will pantyhose make you physically uncomfortable, distracting you from your presentation?

Of course you should. I am 34 and wear them in the summer. No old lady here. It ties an outfit together.

In my law firm, no one has worn panty hose since 2007.

I rarely go to the office but when I do it’s for a pretty big event. I recently lost a significant amount of weight so for a warm day like tomorrow I had some pretty comfy cotton blend pants that are really baggy and silly looking now.
