Just bare legs.. :coma:
I have to wear tights, I can't stand going out with bear legs. My legs are far too pale :frown:
Stockings are much better.

I wear tights more though because there is alot more variety in tights (colours etc) and stockings are generally more expensive (for a decent pair of hold ups for example)

tights for me - stockings aren't really my thing... haha.

my skirts tend to always tend to fly up in the wind, so stockings would just add to the embarrasment.

lol

It's a shame people see stockings as being tarty. I know you're probably just messing but maybe more girls (and your girlfriends) would wear them if there weren't all the connotations that go with them.

I wear stockings and suspenders most days but do it because they're more comfortable, practical and hygienic. I don't wear them for anyone else and prefer to have my legs covered when I'm wearing skirts and dresses. I do admit that they do look sexier than tights though.

Unlike tights, and provided you have a really good suspender belt, you don't have to keep pulling them up and there's never an issue with the crotch being down by your knees! If one gets damaged, you can just replace it whereas with tights you have to throw the whole pair away so probably works out cheaper as well.

I would not go out in bare legs as I have bruises on my legs from falling over.

No no no noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

They are NOT tarty. My fiancée wears stockings and she is definitely not a tart. She doesn't wear them all the time, but she mixes it up with tights, leggings or hold-ups, depending on what she's wearing.

She's been wearing them a bit more just lately, and with a nice pencil skirt or a smart dress and heels she looks classy as hell with stockings and suspenders on not at all tarty.

In fact, it's her birthday soon so, in rebellion against these 'tarty' comments, I'm going to buy her some more :biggrin: LoL

Nonenennneo Noooo None!!!
....tights - yuk
holdups - better
stockings - the way to go!

...hav worn stockings for years - even when i was at school - so much more comfortable - and cheaper in the long run as you can mix and match when youladder one!
I prefer over the knee socks :smile: my boyfriend likes me in over the knee socks more too I think so I like them more than tights!
However, tights over stockings when I'm going out.
I don't find stockings very comfortable but sometimes I just wear them for fun :smile:

Totally agree with this - my fiancée often swaps laddered or snagged legs to make better pairs. Much more economically sound option LOL :smile:

Prefer tights, like to cover up, and if it's too warm for tights then leggings. Simply because I don't feel like shaving my thighs every day, especially if I'll be wearing a skirt everyday. Efforty, and ouchy!
