I am 60, 58" 170 lbs. White, summer tan but generally light skin tone with kind of thin and soft hair on my legs. I do trim is slightly but that is barely noticeable.
I like to wear dresses, not too short. not too glam. With the 90 degree weather behind us for the next six months, I want to buy my first stockings. Not pantyhose and not really looking to need a garter so thigh high is it I guess.
I need to figure out color and size and everything else I don't know.
Will more expensive ones last longer? I doubt I will be able to launder them.
Thanks
Jamie,
I'm far from expert on this subject, but what I have noted while shopping for my own is:
1. Garters as hold-up devices seem to be extinct; it's either garter belt or thigh-high. I have had poor luck with the latter. The silicone band which is supposed to keep them up only holds for a time or two. Don't know why
2. You must hand-wash and let hang to dry, and numbers below 70 denier are fragile and easily get runs.
3. At 170, I think you will need the XL, and for starters, I think nude is the best color.
Ladies with more experience may disagree about color.
Good luck.
It's pretty simple especially with thigh highs. look around, find what you like and check the size chart. There usually is the height and weight the stockings will fit. If in doubt or a borderline size, get the larger size.
If you wear two pairs over each other it smooths even more (does get warm), and will cover a bad or no shaving of the legs!
Garter belts are also SO much more comfortable to wear, and keep you cooler in the crotch.
