Clothes question

[happygirl]

At what age do you think that girls should start wearing pantyhose instead of Tights?

 

[HelenePA]

Never pantyhose are awful!

ETA my 9 and 7 yr olds still wear tights

 

[canadianjovigirl]

I guess when they feel grown up......i still prefer tights and they last longer than pantyhose and i'm 38

 

[BabyPiglet]

Tights are pretty fashionable right now, especially with dresses. So, I'd say never.

 

[Freyja]

I don´t think there´s any age when girls "should" start wearing pantyhose. Whenever/if they ever feel like it is my answer.

May I just ask, what's the difference? Are pantyhose the more sheer, thinner material and tights dark and thicker? I always just kinda thought they were one in the same.

 

[dancingdisneygirl]

Never!!!

 

[gerberdaisy1234]

Who can tell the difference any more? They both come in a variety of colors. They both come in a variety of materials, thickness, support, etc.

OP here, My little girl at church see women wear pantyhose and now she wants to wear them.

Do you mean "skin-toned" pantyhouse? I won't even wear those and I'm pushing 40. I guess there is not a right age for them. If she wants to wear them, go for it. I don't see it as inappropriate.

Tell her the woman at Church is a 'what not to wear'...a fashion "don't" and buy her some more tights.

I don't see any reason to have any sort of age on the whole thing. If she wants nylons, get her nylons.

Dd13 would wear tight or leggings with boots, bare legged with shoes. She wore a cute little cocktail dress to a Bat Mitzva last month, and had bare legs, as did most of her friends.

 

[Shyvioletisme]

NEVER! Hose are awful and never last long...I'm 28 and still only wear tights, they look nicer and last a lot longer.

 

[Angelhalo]

I'm 30 and I wear tights but not pantyhose, so I vote, wear whatever you're comfortable with.

 

[happygirl]

I feel stupid I didn't even know they made adult tights

Adult tights rock! I have them in all kinds of colors and patterns. I hate pantyhose though. Blech!

I'm in my 30's, but most of my classmates are in the 18-22 years old range. We had a ceremony a few months ago and I was the ONLY person out of 100+ females wearing pantyhose. No matter what style of dress, all of the other women wore tights or or had bare legs. I felt very, very old.

 

[redlight]

I hardly ever wear pantyhose.

 

[cheermom1]

I never wear hose ick! - as pp said tell her she is a "what not to wear"

Is this a trick question if you are a grown woman that wears tights?



We live in Florida--so we only wear that kind of leg covering when it is cold or we are doing something really formal. Even then I will go for a thicker hose than a traditional panty hose.

My girls have the tan dance tights they wear for recital--so I'll have them toss that on if it is too warm for tights, but they want to dress up their outfit.

In reality--we avoid that kind of leg covering as much as possible. In fact they were aghast at having to wear tights to mass on Sunday--but it was just too darn cold (40s) to go bare legged.
