As the men are discussing Belts and/or Braces, shall we ladies discuss Stockings or Tights?  

That should liven up the debate on General Chat - and perhaps raise a few temperatures!

As there have been comments from the ladies in the other thread I've no objection if some of the men want to express their preferences!

Stockings for me! (Especially on Valentine's Day!)

    Is that you personally Huskydog?  Many police motorcyclists used to wear tights under their breeches as they said they felt a lot warmer in winter.  Surprised

    What a thread to open Val, if you wear stockings you can come to any of my parties, not that we have any but, if there are many women prepared to wearing stockings we could have one.Wink This
    may surprise a few people on here, miners used to wear tights to stop bits of stone/coal going down their trousers/shorts.

    Haven't worn either since it became more acceptable for us ladies to wear trousers almost anywhere, don't even wear socks unless it's cold.

    Can’t imagine why any female would want to wear tights!!  Sad 

    Ladies, just take a good look at a villains face with a stocking pulled over it.  Frown

    Just what do you think your bum looks like in tights?  Surprised

    ValDa, are you really going to paint the bathroom ceiling tomorrow....? (see the Valentines thread.Laughing)

    In olden days, a glimpse of stocking

    Was looked on as something shocking

    But now, God knows,

    Anything goes................thanks to Mr Cole PorterSmile

    You haven't lived until you've worn pregnancy tights.  They go right up to your armpits! Happy  Wonderfully cosy but not the most attractive!

    I know exactly what it tells us, guys are interested in what women wear. Mr Google just showed me what it's all about, excellent but the hangy down bits-they'll be the suspenders part are ugly. Some of the pics were in black & white from war time-not as
    good as modern stuff. My education is now completeLaughingLaughing

    I do, or a button from somewhere less important!  Then hold-ups appeared and we were all liberated.

    I remember buying my first pair of stockings - and the debate about the colour - Honey Gold, or Barely Black.  Guess which one I went for!

    Ahhhh, those were the days, when a glimpse of white flesh above a stocking top, set the heart a racing.  

    A bit like steam trains, today's efforts are more efficient,  but nowhere near as much fun.
