Just “hose” sounds so funny to my ear. Is this a southern thing, maybe?
I was just coming on to post this. They are stockings. Hose is the thing you use to water the garden.

A dark suit for women because the men arguing for the S.G.'s office wear morning suits. No requirement for hose but of course I would wear them

God I miss travel buff- it was the perfect color for me- not too tan, not too pale, but evened out my (then very young) legs. I miss the 90s!!

I’m very pale so that is a good color on me. Nude and tan colors make my legs look brown while the rest of my body is still white.
I think if you have darker skin you can get away with looking professional without hose/skin looks smoother like pantyhose. But when you are pale somehow the reflection of light on my legs looks very shocking like you are seeing something you shouldn’t be.

Travel buff is the name of the color. Was widely thought to be neutral. As another PP noted it is sort of putty colored. Didn't use past tense as it appears you can still buy it based on a Google search.

I was taught along the lines that stockings are "a women's garment, typically made of translucent nylon or silk, that fits closely over the foot and is held up by garters or an elasticized strip at the upper thigh." They end at the thigh.
"Tights" and "pantyhose" have the part that goes over the buttocks to hold them up. I think of tights as being a denser material, and often not in skin-toned color, whereas pantyhose are usually lighter and in skin tones. I think that's an American perspective, though; my friends from England don't make that distinction for "tights."
"Hosiery" encompasses all of the above.
I suppose "hose" is a shortening of "pantyhose." I don't use it, but I generally understand it as a term when in appropriate context.

Anybody know anything about this? Did you all grow up using the word “hose” for what many people call stockings? If so, where are you from?

And yes, OF COURSE, you can absolutely be good at your job and smart and respectful while dressed like a slob, I get that, it's just I wish that people still cared about looking nice. But they don't.
I dress nicely, wear hose if I am wearing a professional skirt or dress, closed toed shoes, and never wear a full-bare arm without bringing a cardigan or blazer for when I am indoors.
But, I clearly, also goof off at my desk and write tirades on professional standards while I am supposed to be working. So, whatever!
I didn’t like you until your last line, LOL.

Another Hanes Silk Reflections travel buff fan here. Wore them through the 90's and probably way too far into the 00's. Realized I was the most senior female attorney when a mid-level associate confided in me that she and the other female attorneys were SO glad that I didn't wear hose in the summer (the implication being that if I didn't, they didn't have to...). I had NO idea I was the fashion role model for the Firm.

I think I remember those from the 90s. I was still a high schooler so wore them to speech meets, not in any professional setting. Even back then I had the kind of legs that look kind of mottled and while I can’t say I was excited to wear nylons, I loved how my legs looked.

What do you wear at trial when wearing a suit with a skirt?
I don't wear hose during the warm months with skirt suits, and I've achieved many favorable verdicts with bare legs.
Same here.

That is how I was raised; jeans and a shirt on Saturday, but for work, especially if meeting clients or marketing; for a skirt or dress you always wear hose, nude or what the occasion calls for. Formal is just that, not what Hollywood would have you believe. But . . . I digress. Whenever I wear a dress or skirt 99% of the time I wear hose. Not always heels . . .
Thank you for restoring my faith that there are still some women that dress for the occasion . . . picnic; jeans and a blouse are great . . .
