Can we talk about panty hose?
I've read discussions around here that indicate there might be a generational divide between those of us who suffered but endured for 50 years, and our relative newcomers. I saw a post on FB earlier claiming that Raquel Welch auditioned for the Maryann character on Gilligan's Island, and the first reply to the photo attached was, "She's wearing panty hose"
When I was growing up, respectable women not wearing slacks wore panty hose. Hell, L'eggs and their packing and marketing probably made some people a fortune. Hane's was a huge brand. Panty hose were as mainstream as anything you could imagine. My professionally employed wife (married 1986) wore panty hose with her skirts every day, and as a dancer, she had pretty good gams. (Not that kind of dancer, perverts.) I remember clearly the first professional woman I saw wearing a skirt and no hose, and I remember thinking, "What the ****?" She was albino white, kind of bow legged, and her legs were not particularly attractive. I've since gotten used to it, but it's significant that I remember the moment I'm just interested in the opinions and comments of others in this bubble, even though I expect the usual suspect's dismissive trolling. There was a change in our culture, and I'm just curious. |

When I think of panty hose I think of grandmas. Never crossed my mind it was strange not to

The cutoff for this is very close. My wife is 40 and I'm 43 and sometimes our views on old fashioned are jarring.
Mom wore hose as a professional woman. My sister had hose as a kid for events with dresses. Frankly my old self is tired of seeing ever nasty person's skin hang out of everything. Lol |

I definitely think they're declining in popularity rapidly. Hell, for some young Gen Zers, the question is more whether or even to shave their legs.

I can't remember the last time I saw a woman wearing hose. I don't hold an opinion on way or the other. I just find it to be a cultural shift that hasn't been discussed much.

There were a couple of flight attendants sporting them (blue ones) on a flight I had from Chicago to Denver last week. You're right though, it is rare.

Next time you fly Alaskan Airlines check and see if the Eskimo babes wear them. If anyone can get this thing trending back in the right direction it’s them

When I think of panty hose, I think of Chiefaholic wearing one stretched over his wolf mask as he robbed the bank.

I don't know why they went away but I haven't seen them in forever. I kind of think hooker when I think of panty hose
