40 years ago I broke my femoral artery in a construction accident. I almost died but did recover with messed up leg circulation. As a result I had to wear a compression stocking (made out of recycled cast iron) for the rest of my life. In time my leg got a little better and my wife suggested I look into support pantyhose which were cheaper and easier to wear. My doctors agreed and since then I wore pantyhose or leggings everyday (yup, even in summer). Generally you can find more supportive runners leggings if you shop carefully. If you only need light support, the Sheer Energy pantyhose brands are great and long lasting. I’ve never had anyone ask about my tights except in summer (I wear them under shorts) when they usually say “aren’t they hot” ? To which I reply that they help my circulation, or help me lose weight or they keep the ticks at bay. In summer I prefer lighter weights and colors and in winter I prefer fleece lined in heavy dark colors. For glamming, I think that nothing beats a jet black leg covering.
May the support be with you !
