Hosiery

Not anymore, in a cardboard box now

Leggs are my GoTo.

Easy to get, cost is low and work well for me. I have some DKNY ??? and other higher quality brands which are nicer but I still use Leggs 99% of the time.

I am more of a tights kind of girl.   Curses on my drab self as my feet are like 40 grit sandpaper, so anything sheer will not last.

I am not loyal to any brand, but lean more towards cost.  I bought some 70  and 100 den tights from walmart/target and they have stood well over time.  They are loose now due to repeated wearing but no runs or anything.

Tights, pantyhose or leggings, for me anything with polyamide. But also, you should check seamless pantyhose, sometimes called yoga tights. All denier weights are great, but it's the lighter deniers that are "out of this world" feeling. Totally different from hosiery made with tubes or pouches.

Threads has some nice tights and hose. Their website says that next month they will have a line of men’s tights. Not sure what a girl is to make of that. Perhaps the gg’s will wear those😊

Leggs or Haines are my go too. Though I tried a brand called Berkshire and they have a bit of a course feel that is nice, and look great. I wear them when having a special evening with my love.

Funny I was looking to purchase some Berkshire now thanks to your thoughts I’m going to give them a try!!

I thought so too. I always use to grab the discarded containers to store childhood trinkets in.

I have several go to brands and styles. (in random order)

1. Cecilia de Rafael brand in Vidrio, Sevilla, Eterno, Agata, Onix and Rubino styles.
2. Platino Cleancut 15 and 40.
3. Aristoc Ultra Shine.
4. Wolford Neon 40, Satin Touch 20
5. Silvia Grandi Top 20 Lucido
6. Oroblu Magie 20

To Name a few.
The more glossy and shiny they are, the better!
Can never have too much gloss.

As of late my new favourite are threads.
Super pantyhose for the money.  They feel amazing on and the control top hold things in place and kinda lift your behind.

JCPenneys has some great pantyhose.   I bought 25 pairs before they  Discontinued all of them. Girl how I miss them 😩.  Still have about 10 pairs left.

Another one I use to love was a sears brand called Nice Touch Promise .

I've worn Legg's Sheer Energy since I began buying them at 13. Love them. I also wore No Nonsense a lot, countless styles of JC Penney pantyhose, Givenchy Body Gleamers, Hanes Alive, Hanes Silk reflections and Berkshire Shimmers and Silkies Sheer Charm were some of my faves when I began dressing and going out in my teens.

Since then I have worn just about every brand and style out there. I would be in a store shopping for pantyhose. I would buy every pair in my size of brands and styles I often wore. But from time to time I would see something new. I would buy a couple of pairs. I would try on a pair and if the fit, look and feel was to my liking I would go back and buy all the rest. Many of these brands and styles have come and gone, but I've enjoyed wearing and showing off many of them.

Several years ago I bought some Wolford Neon Fatal in Gobi. OMG. So amazing. Shiny sheer to waist pantyhose with no seam or gusset, a magnificent shine and such a heavenly feel. They were incredibly expensive but so worth it for the experience. Then I discovered Victoria's secret seamless. Half the price of the Wolford and wonderful also, but the Wolford was in a class by themselves. Then I discovered other brands. Falke, Kunert, CdR, Pretty Polly, Peavey to name a few.

Many of them are very special and wonderful pantyhose. But two of my all time faves is JC Penney Sheer caress and JC Penney Worthington. For fit feel and look, they are as good or better than any of those wonderful and expensive brands.

More recently I've been buying different pantyhose online. I bought some Jiaya. They come from china. I like them a lot. Got lots of compliments when I wore them. I look around. If I see some pantyhose I think I might like, I'll buy a few pairs and try them. If I like them a lot I'll buy a lot more.

But after hundreds of different brands and styles and countless thousands of pairs of pantyhose worn, when I slip into a pair of Legg's Sheer Energy in Suntan with the sheer panty, my legs look fabulous and feel wonderful. And with the sheer panty, they go very well with my short and very short skirts and dresses. And in sunlight, they shine very nicely. Still can't go wrong with Legg's Sheer Energy.

My beloved wifey has an account with Silkies that she gets her hosiery from and when she doesn’t need anything she lets me order what I need. Due to this almost all my hose, knee highs and socks are Silkies. I do have some nice stockings from other brands but pretty much a Silkies girl here.
