I SO remember garters and stockings! And we even "layered up" with nylons AND fish nets! That was fun to keep the garter clip from not popping with both!
Yep, knee socks were "in" too. And the ol' elastic to keep them up!
The last time I wore pantyhose was in 2001 at SD's wedding. That was it! It's tights for me now underneath corduroys in wintertime since we do outdoor markets all year 'round.

I would like patterned hose. JJ, Di, others, what KIND of tights do you wear? There are some funny stories and memories re: stockings. I never wore tangerine hose. Girdles and garter belts, what a blast to the past, and thank goodness they are past.

I just get some tights at Walgreens.......they go underneath pants anyway!
We also called those flowery girdle-type things with garters "Sus-pants". I have no idea why! They were stretchy and the garter tabs hung down. The garters were a pain....on TOP of our undies!
How DID we survive the 60's??

Yes, on top of the panties, and if we were menstruating there were other accessories to wear.

Patterned hose looks great on leggy slim gals.

Leggy? Slim? guess not. Orchid, I would find it uncomfortable to change to work clothes after cycling. Probably another one of my excuses to commute in the car as well as avoid exercise. I know this is not the same thing, but... when I was in Rome, I saw women dressed for work on their mopeds, vespas, and on the metro. It was summer, yet some were wearing hose of some kind.

Have any of you ever heard of thigh-highs? A co-worker of mine swore by them, they are stockings with thick elastic at the thigh, and they are supposed to stay up by themselves without garters - they are a recent thing in the last 10 or 15 years or so, I think -I have never worn them, but have thought about getting some to try, because I do not care for panty hose. But, with lots of movement don't see how they would stay up. I mostly wear knee highs, with skirts or dresses down to my ankles,don't like to wear dresses that are shorter in length...

Wanted to bring this back up...
as I was changing out my summer for winter clothes, I found a pair of pantyhose that I got back in 2001 to wear for my step-daughters wedding. Got them at JCPenney. They have SIDE seems and no front/back seems...I am not imagining things! They are the most comfortable hose I'd EVER worn!
Don't know if they still carry them, but I still have them and they are in excellent shape!

I don't understand much about the thigh high stockings..it looks impractical to me.
I wear skirts about 2-3 inches above my knees. So useless to someone like myself.

I've had some thigh highs, and they are a good alternative should the outfit allow and they do stay up
