What Kind of Skirt and Pantyhose to Wear

PantyhoseThis is something many women are debating about, especially during the holiday season. I often like wearing a pleated skirt and black pantyhose, but you can't do that all the time. I do sometimes accidentally display something, if that comes to happen I would rather be wearing sheer or control top pantyhose.

When choosing what to wear with a skirt and pantyhose, it is often a problem of what and what not to make obvious. I usually go with the sheer. They offer more comfort and they can be sexy. I do know how men (and women) notice these things when you are either bending over, doesn't have her legs crossed when sitting down, or sometimes just have your panties and tights pulled up too high where it is visible. If your skirt is at least at knee length, it may not be as visible to see compared to if your skirt is shorter, but I know that most often when sitting down, my skirt does tend to ride up.

The combination of a skirt and pantyhose are infinite. I for instance like to wear skirts with white pantyhose. My skirts are all dark and preppy. Wearing white pantyhose with a dark preppy skirt is alright as long as the pantyhose are not too opaque or too bright white. White pantyhose are not a preferred look with dark colored skirts. It also depends on your complexion.

I Just got back from a weekend at my in law's taking a walk in the city and even if there were not that many of us wearing a skirt and pantyhose, there were a lot of women wearing either opaque hosiery or tights. I personally like stockings with a mini skirt, but it in fact depends on where you're going, like for instance if you're hanging out with friends or at work; in the latter case things start to change.

I denote that it is convenient to wear knee high skirt and pantyhose with control top when you are at work or at a formal meeting as the panty portion is thicker and will hide what ever undies you wear. In spring/summer, wear sheer pantyhose in colors that matches your skin tone. Nude or suntan colors are nice. In fall or winter, you can go for thicker hose (opaque hose), to give you added warmth.

At Church wearing a skirt and pantyhose could be ok, it all depends on how conservative your church is, but in almost all cases, you should be fine. I just wouldn't go too far past mid-thigh, and be sure the top is suitable as well. An suitable top for church should have sleeves and not be too low-cut. Shirts or dresses with straps instead of sleeves are acceptable in very many churches (and numerous bridesmaids dresses are now strapless), but if you are not sure about the particular church, it is a safe bet to keep your shoulders covered as much as possible.

In eastern Europe women prefer to wear a skirt and pantyhose all the time. As a result, if you're going to wear a skirt and pantyhose its up to you to decide which color and brand to choose from. Only wear black hose under a mini in the wintertime or when it's cold.

Hey, I agree with the skirt and pantyhose or stockings. As long as it does not look trashy, so the skirt must not be too short.
