The range of responses are interesting!
I haven’t worn actual pantyhose in probably a decade for daytime wear — although I think I wore a sheer nude pair under my ball gown to our mayor’s inauguration and that was in 2019? And I think I wore sheer black pair with the Fuzzi mesh dress for the holidays three years ago. I may consider hose again if I still have any with intact elastic, since I’m liking the vibe of tall boots with midi length skirts/dresses this F/W, provided I have occasion to wear them, even dressing it down for a meeting day or something.
I do not like super shiny hose, and I also hate light-toned matte hose — I particularly have a poison eye for white tights. Ideally I would find a pair of nude sheer hose that are a shade darker than my legs just to help mask imperfections. But I’ve always preferred sheer black over all other options, if the outfit suits it. I have some old patterned black hose that I quite like too, but have not had much opportunity to wear as they are hard to style in a casual way.
In general, I prefer going without hosiery or choosing an outfit with pants! LOL
