I still have some left. I found that sheer black was very flattering. In winter I practically lived in black tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-anyone#post-190858 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:32:25 +0000 Jenava 190858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you could also consider wearing sheer black hose. I've seen sheer black popping up in a lot of ads and other trendy photos recently, and I think it would look fine with a black pencil, even in summer.</p> <p>The pair I own is sheer black and the Nordstrom brand mentioned already. They have lasted quite some time (2 years) but I've worn them only about 5 times! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-anyone#post-190754 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:33:04 +0000 Cookie 190754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear hose when I attend certain board meetings or fund raising events out of respect for older members who cherish more formal ways of dressing. If I am wearing a black suit or dress I like to wear black stockings. I wear very sheer hose in the summer and heavier ones in the winter. I am short and it gives a long, lean line to wear black from head to toe. It also gives you longer looking legs to wear the black skirt, black stockings, black shoes with a white or lighter colored top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-anyone#post-190713 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 16:57:43 +0000 Anonymous 190713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Banana! I thought I was the old woman in their 30's that still wore them! lol. I too have to wear them most every day to work. I searched for years until I found legacy leg wear. They are AWESOME (well as awesome as hose can be). I can wear them 8-10 hours a day and not have the feeling of sagging or running to the bathroom to rip them off. Here is a link. </p> <p><a href="http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.CM_SCID.coll.item.A19744.desc.Legacy-Legwear-Set-of-4-Bodyshaper-Pantyhose" rel="nofollow">http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp......-Pantyhose</a> </p> <p>PS- Your pencil skirt sounds amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-anyone#post-190682 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:50:26 +0000 Vix 190682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm the only non-lawyer in the PNW who wears hose...I don't mind anything but the runs! But it's optional for me -- the dress code thing is a bit of a bummer. </p> <p>I don't know HOW pale you are. I am super-pale and find the $$ DKNY Nudes in the lightest shade are the only realistic match. They last ok, but I do baby them and make sure my toenails aren't sharp. </p> <p>If you're a little darker, Nordstrom's house brand, Calvin Klein, and Hanes have all colors that might work. They've been about the same for me in terms of performance. </p> <p>An alternative to skintone that works well for the pale, IMO, is a very light grey. It can be tough to find -- Nordstrom's house brand has one and Hanes has a Grey Mist and a Light Grey that work. I've only been able to find the latter two online at their outlet, though:</p> <p><a href="http://www.onehanesplace.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.onehanesplace.com</a></p> <p>I'm sure there are at least a few other hose wearers around. If you can wear tights in the winter (vs hose) you can have more fun. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-anyone#post-190676 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:28:54 +0000 Banana 190676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, I know. Nobody wears them anymore, however, I have a dress code at work and have to (insert sad face here). I'm looking for something very sheer, blends into my pale skin and won't run easliy. Sounds impossible, I know....</p> <p>I've been a pantsuit gal for as long as I can remember, but I am now the proud owner of the perfect black pencil skirt. I'm hoping to wear it to work, but I have to figure out the hosery thing first. </p>
