dark hosiery.... 80 degrees

[MissMillie]

I don't know, but somehow black pantyhose worn during the day anytime between Easter and Labor Day seems idiotic.

is anyone w/ me on this?

[Sanity Claws]

1. Agreed

It's also terribly unfashionable. The nude leg is more the style.

[Debi]

2. But I feel stange wearing nude hose w/a black skirt and black shoes

:shrug:

[Karenca]

3. Me too.

Wore black fishnets with black the other day, and it looked great.

[Debi]

7. Whew, at least ther are two of us! n/t

[Karenca]

20. Ha ha :))

There are many more than that --- :-)

[MissMillie]

5. I think that looks much better in warm weather

MUCH better. It make you look like you know what time of year it is.

[Debi]

11. OMG

:blush:

I was going to post some pics of women dressed in black hose in the summertime....you would NOT believe what Google comes up with when you type in the words "black hose" :rofl:

[Redbear]

22. Don Imus??? n/t

[Debi]

25. THAT WAS SO WRONG!!

:rofl:

4. Not really unfashionable

Not here in New York City :)

[wildhorses]

6. black is never out of style in NYC

is it...

[Karenca]

21. You're right.

And neither are white slacks unfashionable after Labor Day.

(though black is the color mostly worn here).

8. Wearing pantyhose period between Easter and Labor Day is silly.

[MissMillie]

9. Well, the temperatures in April can still be in the 50s and 60s

so I can understand wanting something covering your legs... but black during the day.

I think sheer black is acceptable in the evening, but daytime wear? No way.

[KitchenWitch]

10. True

I guess I buy, or sew, my skirts long enough so if I need stockings, I can wear knee highs. I hate pantyhose with the white hot passion of a million suns.

[MissMillie]

12. I hate them too

but my legs are only about 20 inches long (yes, that's an exaggeration)... so wearing a long skirt makes me look like I have no legs.

for the most part, I steer clear of dresses and skirts until I can go bare-legged.

[KitchenWitch]

13. And I am short waisted and long legged

So I often have to sew skirts and dresses, because they do not make them long enough.

[skygazer]

14. Why is it idiotic?

I mean, most people who are wearing pantyhose are not working outside digging trenches for the phone company - they're working in an air-conditioned office. So what difference does it make what color their pantyhose are?

I don't know - I guess it's not really something I ever thought about too deeply. :shrug:

[MissMillie]

16. I work in air conditioning too

I thought this sweater would work well today....

[skygazer]

18. ......

:spank:

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. That is an old rule for dress

It's right up there with the dumb ideas that white shoes shouldn't be worn after Labor Day, and that a woman's shoes must match her purse :eyes:

Black hose can, and should, be worn when it suits the outfit.

[MissMillie]

17. I wouldn't give white shoes the heave-ho for the year until

there was a frost, but then, yes, they have to go... until Easter.

The shoes don't have to match the bag, but they do have to "go" together.

[commander bunnypants]

19. mmm hoisery

:woohoo: :woohoo:

23. i wear black pantyhose all year long

looks good with my gym shorts on the treadmill.

[KitchenWitch]

24. I bet they look good with that lacy black chemise you like to wear too!

:rofl:

[Beer Snob-50]

26. SSSSSSSSHHHHH!!!

I don't ant the DU men drooling over the prospect of me in that item. But yes, I do look hot!!!

[Withywindle]

27. I had to wear black hose all year long when temping back in the day...

...only kind that hides my tattoo.

I'm glad I have the tattoo, though, because otherwise people always think I'm wearing white hose when I'm not wearing any. Yes, I'm that pale.

28. What would Stacy and Clinton say? nt

[MissMillie]

29. We should ask them

don't you think?
