Special occasions, or times when I fancy something special, it’s stockings. Always hold ups though. Never anything that needs a suspender.Cerys

I wear hip pads to give me some curves, I’d love to wear stockings and suspenders but it looks silly with spanks and latex hips. I put my external presentation before my undies. I sometimes wear hold-ups which makes me feel a bit more elegant. I don’t go for seamed stockings or fishnets…I prefer my wife in those

I love tights.Have loved them since the late sixties when the girls at my junior school started wearing them.My crossdressing journey began in earnest when I tried a pair of mum’s tights in secret when I was twelve back in 1972.I generally wear nude, natural ,black or navy.Black,40 denier opaques are my absolute favourites.I love coloured tights but not sure if they are that age appropriate for me at aged sixty three.They were all the rage with young girls of my age back in the early eighties.I was so envious of them.When I was twenty one bought my own,in red,pink and.green.
Beyond a few forays with hold ups I have never worn stockings.Did try in vein with my mum’s when I was six.Would not mind trying them but I am a bit ham fisted and not very practical.Would surely rip them.I hardly dress without tights apart from the summer.Cis woman and indeed some CDs complain that tights are uncomfortable but I never find that.My only complaint is with some of the lighter denier pairs.I have to be oh so clever pulling them back up after a visit to the bathroom.I love pantyhose\ tights so much that in the next life,I want to come back as a hosiery model,showgirl dancer or a female flight attendant.

“Would not mind trying them but I am a bit ham fisted and not very practical. Would surely rip them.”
Go to a dollar store and buy a pair of white cotton gloves just for this purpose. Better using them than snagging the material with rought fingers. If you need to, soak your feet first and get rid of hard skin on your heels.
Also, Sheertex stockings are guaranteed. Flimsy, cheap stockings don’t last long, maybe not even one time.
My crossdressing started with wearing tights, and to this day they are still my favourite item of clothing and I never dress without them. I also wear them most days under my trousers and basically cannot get enough of them. I do have some hold ups, suspender belts, basques etc which come out every now and then but for me it’s always tights, tights, tights.

Yep, there’s quite a few of us who started (and continue) wearing tights – whether it began with trying on our sister’s, mum’s or being at the mercy of a teacher for a school play.
Nice to see someone else from the UK, and great name by the way!

Yes I also started with Mothers tights. Now full time hold ups. Tights are a no go as due to my Rugby career legs don’t bend as they should so tights impossible. Even have to use a litter picker to put hold ups on. LOL

I like them both. It depends on situation and other clothes. Tights are more comfy when i go out. Stockings are more for home

I love black sheer stockings to go with heels and a slinky fitting black dress which makes the whole look and feel so much more alluring and easy to glide around in. Find a thong is most suitable lingerie and much less inhibiting

I prefer stockings and garters, but I really like colorful opaque tights in colder weather so I can still wear skirts all winter. I have a few pairs of stayups but they’re only suitable for at-home use. I have a few pair of really nice hose from Sheertex and Les Belles that I love, but they’re the only pantyhose I wear. There’s nothing like the feeling of well-fitted stockings and garters. Pair with a corset, and I’m in heaven!

“I have a few pairs of stayups but they’re only suitable for at-home use.”
Why?
Since you already know about Sheertex, then you should know that their stockings never move*, if you shave your legs. Not sure about other brands.
* One replacement pair had bad stick-um and wouldn’t stay up, otherwise they are reliable all day.

Because despite their name, my experience has been that stayups do not stay up! At this point, I just don’t trust them. Add to that the bright red line of skin irritation from the silicone that seems to last forever. I’m just not a fan, but I have a couple pair that I wear at home for those occasions when I know I won’t be in them long but I want the look.

“Add to that the bright red line of skin irritation from the silicone that seems to last forever.”
Last week, I wrote to Sheertex with a new product request – RHT (Reenforced Heel, Toe) stockings without the stick-um, a more traditional, high fashion stocking. If more people did the same thing, it would add more weight behind the idea. You could remind them about the welts that you get.
Tights when the weather is cold, stockings and garter if I am not in a rush, otherwise stay-ups.

It was tights that got me into this and they remain my favourites.
I do have a couple of pairs of stockings and hold ups, but they only come out now and again.
I just find it so comforting pulling a pair of tights right up to my waist5 users thanked author for this post.
I’m a pantyhose and tights gal most of the time. A few pairs of stockings for the right occasion but usually always suntan or black pantyhose.

They all have a place in my wardrobe. What I wear depends on my mood and the rest of what I’m wearing. Most often it’s tights because they work better with my daily go-to’s – leggings and jeans.

First choice always a 6 or 8 tab garter belt and real non stretch nylons, seamed of course. Lace top even better.However these stockings are very expensive so only for special occasions . Second choice, thigh hi quick , easy and stretchy. Pantyhose last, seem to hot. Unfortunately due to my age and leg condition I sadly have to wear opaque out. The sheer look I love is confined to the closet with the fishnets.

I was on a pantyhose/stocking kick but the more and more I see leggings/tights that are mesh, see through, and lace, I might turn to the durability of tights/leggings. Especially when they are coming out in more colors than just black and white.

I almost always wear tights under my skirts/dresses when i want to go for a full dressed feeling, but when its time for the clothes to come off and i want to go for a more sexy feel, black/white/pink stocking and garters will quickly come on.

I started wearing pantyhose (tights) very young because that’s what I had available. When I began buying my own I found it was difficult to find tights that fit properly and would stay up. I have quite long legs.
When I first bought stockings I only had crappy lingerie type suspender belts that again didn’t hold my stockings up. I gradually got wiser, with the wonderful assistance of a sales lady at a local department store, and bought long stockings and a serious suspender belt. From then on that’s all I’ve ever worn.
A very nice benefit to stockings: if you ladder one leg you only need to discard that one leg. I always bought multiple pairs in the same size and colour so I’d just grab a spare. Perfect!

Samantha,
With regards to finding tights that fit properly, I know what you mean. Nothing more annoying than buying a pair and finding the crotch halfway down your thighs and knowing they’re not going any further.
That period between trying on what was available at home when you were young (and things actually fit) and having the confidence and ability to buy your own as an adult was incredibly frustrating.
I can understand why you ditched them and went down the stockings route, but I managed to persevere and still enjoy wearing tights on a regular basis.

I prefer stockings with a garter belt that has at least 6 straps. I have to balance short skirts/dresses and pantyhose with my desire to feel a bit more fem with fancier lingerie.

Whatever you choose darling , the smooth feel of nylon on clean shaved legs is delicious, and the taunt tug on stocking tops on garters as you walk is heavenly, unlike Thigh- Highs s or pantyhose 😉

I love that feeling when I get to have it, but a lot of the time as a closet girl pantyhose, and thigh highs are all I can squeeze in in the little time that I have to dress.
Then they are also less detectable when under dressed as well.But oh yes, if I could I would always go with the garter belt🥰

Sarah, I’m a thigh high stay up girl all the way, I’ve never found a garter belt that looked good on me and I really don’t care for panty hose all that much. But I have found some thigh highs by VienneMilano, and they’re great, they stay up all day and have a wider lace top than others brands. Just love the feel of them under what ever I’m wearing.
Glad you asked,
Sherri

stockings! always stocking with garter/suspender belt. I have a couple of pairs of stay up stocking, but they never stay up so they never get worn but I can’t bring myself to throw them out.
Don’t own a single pair of pantyhose, the closest I have to them would be the ones that look like garter&stockings.

I love pantyhose, especially sheer to waist. I wear them all the time. But every once in a while I get the urge and desire for stockings and a garter belt.Sliding the stockings up my legs, I feel such incredible thrills. Then, I’m literally trembling hooking up the garters.
Then when I see how I look in the stockings, garters and heels, a thrill, rush and euphoria and pleasure engulfs me. The way I feel is so super intense and wonderful. There’s nothing like it. Then when I walk around and feel the stockings gently caressing my legs and the gentle pull on the garters, I’m in total femme heaven.
As much as this pantyhose loving girl loves her pantyhose, she loves the stockings and garters experience from time to time.
I’m a pantyhose girl myself. Stocking have their place and I do wear them but for everyday dressing it’s pantyhose for me. They are what started this journey many years ago.
I’m very much the same. Sheer-to-waist pantyhose are my preference (especially glossy ones) or opaques with a nice sheen. I love layering them too. It’s very much a sensual thing as well as what they look like for me.
It was tights/pantyhose that got me into dressing and I still love them. Like you Patty, I also enjoy stockings from time to time (usually over a pair of sheer, glossy ph) with either a suspender belt or corselette. There is something very special about the feeling of that ‘tug’ you get as you walk in stockings.
I am not a fan of hold-ups however. They just don’t ‘do it’ for me at all!

I guess it depends mostly on the weather. On warmer days I’ll sometime wear darker colored pantyhose. Otherwise, I’m usually in tights. I’ve got a nice collection of different colors and designs and I’m especially fond of tights and leggings with a shaping seam up the back to lift and separate.

Just a p.s. to my earlier reply, I would much rather wear tights, or stockings, or even leggings instead of pants.

Hello Sarah, I mainly wear tights (pantyhose) for every day wear but wear stockings for special occasions. I love stockings for there sexy look & enjoy wearing them with lovely dresses but for every day use I still prefer tights. Tights are no more a problem in the toilets than stockings, just a few seconds longer, anyway who see you in the ladies toilets.

Stockings nd garter belt are preferred as it is easier to use the bathroom and also because I think it is more ladylike. That being said I also wear pantyhose with shorter dresses and skirts. In the winter/cooler weather I will underdress in tights when taking the dog for a walk in the morning for the added warmth.

Love the feeling of a pair of tights (footless). but do prefer suspender belt and stockings, because it’s how I started my crossdressing wearing my sister panties and suspender belt many years ago.
Helena3 users thanked author for this post.
I don’t care for any of them.
I don’t like hose at all. I might try something open like fishnet some time, but not really interested.
I like the way my legs look as they are. Keep them smooth, the right moisturizer keeps a nice shine on the skin, and a hint of sun kissed color is what I want people to see…
But if you like tights/hose/stockings, you go girls!
Have fun out there!

I wear panties, garter belt, stockings, and a full slip almost every day. They are either under a dress or my male outer clothes. The big advantage to stockings and garter belt is when you need to use the bathroom, so much easier then dealing with tights or pantyhose.

Hi Sarah, thanks for the post. I am definately a stocking girl, I love them. The look so much nicer than panty hose, feel nicer and definitely look nicer. I wear the thigh high stay up stockings or if I’m feeling particularly girlie I’ll wear a garter belt as well. Have a great weekend girl.

I’m an every day girl, a trans woman, and my job requires me to wear black pants. The pants I wear are either yoga style or leggings, so obviously stockings just aren’t going to work. I now wear tights made by a Canadian company called ‘Sheertex”. They call them tights but they’re very sheer or opaque, your choice. Lots of colors and they do ones with seams up the back or the front and patterned ones as well. They also do thigh high stockings and both kinds are indestructable! If you do manage to get a snag or a run they will replace them, no questions asked.
hugs,

it was roughly titled’ Stockings, Thigh- Highs, pantyhose or Bare legged look. Look for it and see the other ladies replies. Myself I am a confirmed stockings and garter girl, and always have been. I own over 50 pairs.

I still get a thrill thinking about the first pair of stockings and suspender belt I wore
wore a summer dress that buttoned all the way down , which had a very floaty skirt design , so that when I twirled I could flash my stocking tops
since then had lace top with seams/fishets – also with and without seams and all shades
would choose what to wear depending on outfit and intention
now its mainly tights but still gets comments from others about my legs5 users thanked author for this post.

I usually qear opaque tights (60 denier and above) , but sometimes wear hold ups if the dress im wearing is long enough to completely hude the tops of the stockings on warmer days.
I find theres far more choice available colour-wise with tights than stockings / holdups and i prefer the heavier denier of tights

My choice depends on what I am wearing. I like pantyhose if I’m in jeans or pants. Also pantyhose or stay up thigh highs if in a longer, below the knee, dress or skirt. Also, depending on my the colors of my ensemble depends on whether I choose nude, suntan or black. But I have never liked the texture or feel of fishnets on my legs.

Between stockings and tights, it all depends on the weather. When I lived in a much warmer climate, I went with stay-ups, or bare legged… In summer months, I mostly go without stockings these days, unless I’m dressed more formally.
In the fall and winter, I wear tights. They are warm!

Can’t argue with you though. I know we pay more for high quality hose, but they are stronger and last longer and the glorious looks and feeling of them is indescribable, not to mention how much easier it is in the washroom( loo).

I wear all types of hosiery – stockings, stay ups, tights, fishnet, shear, patterned and opaque. But I also sometimes wear thigh high socks. It all depends on how the mood takes me, what else I am wearing the season and the occasion. Although as I get older, I do find tights the easiest selection.
But in addition to this, I also love naked legs with strappy sandals and a print cotton dress in the summer. Smooth legs exposed to the sun is such a great feeling.
At the moment I’m wearing clear tone shear stay ups under a knee length jean skirt, waiting for the summer months to come.

Most of the time I wear tights, either black or a colour to match whatever I’m wearing, or sometimes to contrast with my outfit (e.g. bright pink tights with a blue dress). However, I do wear black stockings when I’m in the right mood.
