Tights

magpie

As an american might say - its all good

metaoblivia

Go bare legged if you can! It's much more comfortable, in my opinion. Tights are only good for keeping warm in the winter.
Of course I live in Florida, so tights aren't quite practical for most of the year. I refuse to be uncomfortable simply for the viewing pleasure of a silly man.

My boyfriend is a leg man and he goes crazy and I mean crazy for a glimpse of my legs in tights/stockings. Bare legs do nothing for him. :rolleyes:

He's not a 'leg' man at all then - that would be a tights fetish.

MojoMaker

Agreed. Shame on him passing himself off as an ordinary leg man. It runs deeper than that g_girl.

Bare legs ftw btw, all year round, milk bottles or tanned, doesn't matter.

Speaking as a guy, I find tights foul. Stockings, be they suspenders or hold ups are fine with a knee lenght skirt, but not nice with a shorter skirt (and of course they're brilliant in the bedroom ) Generally, I find bare legs more attractive, even though I can imagine how cold that is in winter. Then again if it's cold, why subject yourself to skirts in the first place? Tights won't keep you warm. Buy some trousers

I may have overstated it when I said that bare legs do nothing for him. He doesn't have a fetish, he simply finds my legs sexier in stockings or tights. He also thinks that I look sexy in high heels, but he doesn't have a foot or shoe fetish. :rolleyes:

:eek: tights with reinforced toes with open toe shoes or sandals is not attractive.

In this area it must be either bare legs or sandal toe tights (ideally flesh/natural tan colour)

Well a sandal toe would be preferable I suppose, but I still think nylon covered legs look and feel much better.

nemonemo

I agree.

tights or stockings ftw!!!:)

Interesting thread.

I have a question for the ladies. This is a genuine puzzlement.....

Tights are like stocking but with built in knickers right?

So why do women still wear knickers with tights? I just don't get it

euww no tights dont have knickers built in...where did you get that idea?

I got that idea because they look like stockings that are joined together in the middle, with what could be described as a farily skimpy knicker. What's the point in the 'middle' bit if it is not to replace the knickers? Also most of the tights that I have been up close and personal with:D have had a, I believe the terms is gusset, smack bank in the middle. What is that for if they are supposed to be worn with knickers?

nealmac

You can see through the gusset. That's why they wear knickers. I'm more curious to find out what this part is for:

Any takers?

I really love tights. I find them such a turn on. I especially like the more sheer ones. I love the look and feel of them. I just needed to get that off my chest.

Sounds like me:D

george_curious

Do we have any answer to the tights with knickers question.

Why do they need to be worn with knickers?

All the advertising packaging shows the models wearing the tights without underwear (bar the worrying picture supplied by nealmac above). If they are supposed to be worn with knickers then what is the gusset yolk for?

Correct me if I'm wrong here but I suggest that you wear the following because they enhance your appearance NOT because they are comfortable.

Makeup - comfort or appearance?
Mascara - comfort or appearance?
eye shadow- comfort or appearance?
lipstick - comfort or appearance?
high heels - comfort or appearance?
control top underwear - comfort or appearance?
g-strings - comfort or appearance?
etc etc


I am simply offering you ladies an insight in to what I and every other man I know find more attractive in respect of bare legs or tights/stockings. They prefer tights.

If you don't care and if comfort is more important to you, well good for you.:)

Point taken. But in saying that. Wearing lipstick/eye-shaow/mascrara isn't uncomfortable (for me anyway). And I didn't mean to sound offensive or anything..it's just the way it came out, sorry.

Think nothing of it, I also didn't mean to sound 'preachy'.

It is an however an awful pity that women seem to find tights/pantyhose uncomfortable to wear. They are very very easy on the eye and a real turn on for many guys. Shame.

Firstly Not all tights have a gusset. There are some that have no gusset and other that are completely seamless (these most definately don't have a gusset).

Personally the only time I would ever think about wearing tights without underwear would be under a very clingy dress so as not to create VPL. :eek:

The presence of a gusset does not to my mind replace the need for underwear however if does help if you have to go without in the name of fashion;)

Couldn't you just wear a thong for no VPL?

Not in some of my dresses, you would see the VPL at the side and front. I don't do it often but if I do , I definately positively absolutely carry a spare pare of tights in my bag just in case:o

I find it more comfortable than a thong in any event and i get a buzz

Piste

But would'n toyu get VPL from your tights? Or I suppose that should be VTL...

Karl Hungus

Thinking about it... Fishnets rule.

nealmac

I'm still wondering what the cotton crotch panel is for. Any takers?

I have never seen fishnets look anything but trashy on a person.
I think the only person that could ever carry these off is a top supermodel in a really expensive gorgeous dress and then they would just look ok.

"VTL" ... i like it!:D

No you don't get this if you wear approptiate tights like Wolford Logic or La Perla Shape tights or even Oroblu Dolca Vite Soft Waist band. No point in substituting VPL for VTL. Plan ahead is what I say.

Fishnets I think can go either way. They can look really smart with a pensil skirt/suit. Some of the newer variations of fishnet can also look great with casual skirts or some dresses but you really need to have appropriate shoes. I HATE fishnets with flats or ballet shoes. WHY do that?

ShiverinEskimo

any visible legs with flats or ballet shoes tbh - heels tense the muscles in the calf and therefore improve the shape of the leg. I've never once looked at a girl wearing flats and said "wow - great legs".

btw:
tights - meh
bare legs - yay!
stockings - woohoo!! \o/

nealmac

I prefer shiny nylon tights to fishnets meself.
