Sometimes if I'm going out, but usually only when I'm staying in .

Doesn't everyone?

MrsTittleMouse · 29/09/2008 16:33

I used to. Not now that I'm a boring old SAHM though. Mind you, I wear jeans all the time now, so it would look a bit strange.

overdraft · 29/09/2008 16:33

Just for fun. I would hate to get run over wearing them

overdraft · 29/09/2008 16:35

I went around an ex-boyfriend's house wearing them, nothing else and a mac . His dad answered the door and thank gawd he didn't offer to take my coat.

i try not to wear tights at all

georgiemum · 29/09/2008 16:37

I suppose in some occupations it would be part of the uniform.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 29/09/2008 16:37

Not daily, but fairly regularly.

overdraft · 29/09/2008 16:38

Strippergram, lapdancer or dentist?

I used to, prechildren and massive weight gain I'm tall and they were more comfy than tights (which are always too short, and I'd end up hoiking them up all the time)

I think Dh would like it if I wore them again, but I don't think it looks that appealing with flabby bits (should say actually that I wore them with very long skirts)

FabioAsGoodAsItGets · 29/09/2008 16:44

i only wear stockings when robbing a bank

do NOT tell cod

cmotdibbler · 29/09/2008 16:47

I often wear them when dressed up for work (no nothing exotic, just under my suit) as they are more readily available in tall sizes than tights in this country.

A proper 6 clip suspender belt is necessary though

I wear holdups alot if wearing a dress/skirt...but still prefer real stockings and suspenders rather than tights with the horrid baggy gusset

cmotdibbler · 29/09/2008 16:57

Just as comfy as tights - and more so if you are used to tights that fall down every 5 minutes because they assume you must be a size 16 to need tall tights.

My sussie belt is all function and no glamour though - very plain black lycra with strong metal clips

wastingmyeducation · 29/09/2008 17:29

I would if I wasn't massively huge.

twinsetandpearls · 29/09/2008 17:35

I used to, mainly becasue tights were too hot.

I have worked with quite few female teachers who have worn stockings every day.

CountessDracula · 29/09/2008 17:36

I wear hold ups if I have to wear anything

I never trust hold ups to hold up, could not teach with hold ups round my ankles.

deegward · 29/09/2008 17:42

I used to when I worked full time, but that was 7 years ago!

TotalChaos · 29/09/2008 17:46

pmsl Fio. Surely it should be a fur coat with no knickers, not a flasher mac .

I used to many year ago for work, when i was young and skinny and found tights too warm.

moocowme · 29/09/2008 20:29

don't trust holdups either. don't wear stockings as much as i used to but they are a bit more fashionable now especially the nice patterend ones so yes in answer to your question as i hate pantyhose.
