Birthday Party

While I was at a cousins birthday party this last Friday evening, I decided to wear blue denim shorts with gray tights that I got from Target almost 2 years ago. One thing that I didn't think about was that other family (family to my cousins) would be there. So during the evening, someone who I haven't seen much asked me "So why the stockings?" My first response in my head was "These are tights, not stockings", but I knew what she meant. The first thing that I thought of was to shrug my shoulders and act like it was nothing, so I did that. So she replied to that with "Is it because they are comfortable?" and I said that they where. She agreed that they where but that she gets worm wearing them. Then I tried to point out that today was a good day for them seeing that it was cool and a rainy day. She agreed and that was the end of it. This would be probably my second time being asked why I was wearing tights, and both where from family (or near family). For the most part, people will not see it or if they do, not do anything about it. Even with all the reviews people give when they find out that men are wearing tights or pantyhose openly, how weird it is and that they will rip them off anyone that wears them, or something like that. They really don't mean it in real life, they can say that on a posting because that may be what they feel at the time, but in real life, they will just go on their own life and not bother you because you chose to wear hosiery openly.

Smooth Legs

Most of this summer I have been wearing shorts to work. But every time I have worn my L'eggs Sheer Energy pantyhose in tan. I would have to say it's been fun and nice to go to work in shorts, I do enjoy it. There was one Friday, I was in my coworkers office chatting with the owners son (who does work here for the company) and my coworker and near the end of the conversation, he noticed that I had smooth legs. Then he went on saying that he too shaved his legs. While yes I do shave my legs, that was not the reason why my legs looked so smooth. I didn't say anything about why they where smooth, but it would have been a great time to do so. So that has been about the only time at work that someone has commented on my open wearing of hose at the office with shorts. This just go's to prove that people don't notice men wearing sheer hosiery that often. So if you are feeling shy about wearing hose openly, try this, wear sheer hosiery. I first started out wearing nude pantyhose that wasn't very shiny, but then I moved to L'eggs Sheer Energy and they provide a little luster to the legs while supporting them for long work hours in the office, or while out and about. And probably about 99% of the time, you will not stick out if you act like wearing hosiery is an everyday thing. And also have fun wearing hosiery openly, I do.
