Hosiery is More Popular In Europe!!

Hosiery
In certain countries today like Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, United Kingdom, etc. women wear sheer pantyhose commonly, specifically in the Eastern section of Europe and any countries around Russia as well as even countries like Kazakhstan. Even just in certain parts of western Europe, in France and UK women will often be spotted wearing pantyhose. In Eastern Europe and Russia women have a building tradition to wear pantyhose, and everything else feminine that of course complements them!

In Europe and Russia it's only natural for women to put on sheer pantyhose and wear them with wooden clogs or open toed sandals during the summer time. They often wear sheer pantyhose even during warm weather with mini skirts and shorts. If a girl's control top show, not one person minds, this also is believed normal in Russia and Europe. In the winter months, ladies and girls wear their sheer hosiery with black leather boots or other shoes. Sometimes some may wear knee high socks over their hose should they wear a skirt. In Europe and Russia women and girls all wear sheer pantyhose where pantyhose are well-known.

In Ireland whenever a woman does not wear jeans , she wears pantyhose . That is certainly fact . You will come across many bare-legged women in Ireland , but only in the hot summer season , otherwise it is jeans or slacks or pantyhose while in Paris and Prague almost 90% women wear pantyhose almost everyday, rain or shine. Europeans tend to be more open-minded about wearing nylons than Americans. Once I was in France and Italy, I saw more sheer black hose, tights and leggings than any where else .

Open toed sandals with sheer suntan pantyhose is something that is worn in Europe and Russia regularly during warmer months.Women regularly wear wooden clogs or wooden exercise sandals in the Summer. They may be spotted slapping and clicking their wood flip flop exercise sandals. You'll be able to hear the wood sandals from a distance away anywhere you go.

In countries like Poland, Russia or any of the Baltic states, teen age girls often wear reinforced toe pantyhose. They wear pantyhose to school and while playing or getting together with friends. It is normal for females to wear sheer pantyhose when throughout the house with the family. For older women, it is also a day-to-day routine to wear black pantyhose or other sheer hosiery anytime. In Russia and Poland, sheer hose or black pantyhose can be something thought to be very casual.

While America seems to have its advantages, women's general all round dressing is one thing some females do not keep up to date on. On the flip side there are women who will wear pantyhose regularly and may also do their nails,wear perfume and do their hair. If a woman wears pantyhose she will wear whatever goes with them namely heels, nail polish, make up, skirts, and so on to impress themselves, their spouses or to go out on a date, while in Europe they don't really wear pantyhose for their men because it is traditional to wear hosiery. But then again it depends where you are in Europe.

My final thought on the subject is, I discovered that all this is true, when reflecting on my American and European friends. I do believe American women think they're very dressy and oftentimes even too dressy, uncomfortable, too lazy and just do not think they really are necessary. Europeans are a a lot more "old fashioned" and attentive to what they wear... if that makes sense..

I agree with totally about your article. Hosiery at this point in time is not the same as it has been a few years ago. It is better quality, and more importantly it is comfortable, given one wears the proper size. So just like me, I encourage other women to also try wearing it more and make a subtle fashion statement. With sheer pantyhose my skirt outfits simply look more finished, and I can't imagine wearing a pair of dress pants without sheer light support pantyhose underneath. My pants wear very smoothly with pantyhose underneath, and even though my legs aren't showing I feel different and I have this sense of elegance about my outfit.
