Now before you blokes start slavering or worse, this is aimed at women from the practical/comfort point of view. :wink:

Which do you wear if any? As I wear trousers and jeans most of the time I rarely wear either. I also don't wear socks and much prefer to go barefoot. Only time I wear anything on my feet is with wellies or walking boots.

I find tights much more comfy and they do give a better line to clothes than suspenders with all those dangling bits of elastic.... yuk!

I can't deny that wearing stockings does feel more sexy and feminine though.

I wear hold up stockings so there's no suspender belt or anything. I hate tights they get all sweaty and horrible, uurrgh.

for the most part I just wear trousers and then ankle highs

i never wear tights, if im going out and wearing a dress or skirt, then ill either go bare (oo aye!) and get some tan on the legs or ill put on my stockings and suspenders etc, but thats uaully only when im off out with my bloke to a meal and want to spice things up abit lol i do see what you mean about the whole visibility thing tho,

i haven't wore either for a long time. I remember buying stockings by mistake with only mins to spare for a works interview....funnily enough i was offered the job?

I think for practicality i would have to say tights, but they are just as irritating as stockings at times.

Much prefer to wear stockings, normally get the hold ups so dont have to worry about suspender belts and the such.

Think they are more practical then tights cos when you first put tights on you have to do an hilarious leg strech and squat jig to get the tights to fit with stockings you dont need to. I always manage to ladder tights pulling them on... and I now all the ladies have been here (and maybe a few men :wink: ) but when youve had a few drinkies tights become highly complicated to operate and dangerous :D

From a male perspective, I found that stockings were far easier than tights...but they don't half chafe the leg-hairs...

Not everybody who wears tights gets thrush and there are lots of reasons for it of which the use of antibiotics is one. The thing is *cough* thrush likes warm/damp conditions *cough* which tights so wonderfully provide..... all that synthetic nylon you see.

Pictures of me in drag have been known to surface from time to time and I do tend to wander around the house in a black sarong of an evening...but no, sorry to disappoint, I'm not a full-time cross-dresser.

I wore the tights one new years eve when I was working at the Dove & Rainbow in Hartshead Square, doing the whole Rocky Horrors thing...finding the matching bra and panties was a chore and I felt a bit cast adrift in Anne Summers, I can tell you!

Have you ever seen a bank robbers face with tights on his head?
I reckon thats the best argument for stockings

Not wore any for ages but for me it has to be stockings and for extra sexiness a suspender belt....I hate the hold ups.....I don't reckon they look very nice either.

Well I'm thinking that I bet all your five posts are about tights, stockings or similar. I don't think your username is a coincidence either :D .

Tights are pretty grim, but essential if you have to wear a skirt or dress in cool weather. Stockings are better for, erm, recreational purposes; they can look rather naff and Ann Summers though, unless you're going for a retro look.

Tights: you have to faff with them, then they're either too long or too short in the leg and you end up lookin like Norah Batty and or with your crotch near your knees.

Hold ups: perfect if you have skinny<ish> legs - I don't and they dig in and don't look nice at all!!!

My opinion anyway!!!!

No contest. Stockings every time. Hold ups are good now and then for that fresh air feeling, but a tasteful, quality suspenser belt and some beautiful stockings are without comparison.

funkymiss
27-06-2006, 19:01
I don't like any of them! Socks are horrible, tights just feel wierd all the way up to your waist, suspenders involve dangly clippy things...I think hold ups are the lesser of the evils really - my fave I think.
Stockings are nice when you don't have to go out in them though
