How to put pantyhose on without destroying them (updated)

Lots of frustration come from not being able to put pantyhose on properly. I hope this tutorial will help a bit. This is still a draft. Please let me know what you think, what should be changed or updated.

Updated: just added two more points. While it may look obvious for you, it’s not obvious for others 😉

Shorts with tights

With a great surprise I discovered that shorts with pantyhose (tights, stockings, leggings, whatever) combination is thought by some (many?) people as strictly prohibited by the fashion canons. Does fashion have canons, actually? I doubt it. Probably caNNons, but not caNons 🙂 It wouldn’t be fashion if it was so conservative (“You can’t do this!, because … errrm…. Because nobody does this!) and lacked innovations.

There is no difference between shorts and skirts of the same length and made out of the same material. (I think shorts are more convenient). But there are people who fight for the right to wear shorts with pantyhose. And no, I don’t mean men (NB: Though it also looks ridiculous – nobody prevents men wearing shorts with pantyhose except themselves, but that’s another story).

Tights in Art

Some time ago Geraden and Co introduced “Tights in Art” historical paintings gallery, mostly featuring men wearing pantyhose (tights) or stockings. The idea was to demonstrate that tights were worn by men long before women got their legs into them. The collection has grown to almost 40 pictures.

Moscow, high heels, greyish pantyhose

mini-skirt and stockingsEver been to Moscow? A completely different world of dressed-to-kill girls. Posh, expensive, thoroughly chosen clothes, make-up and accessories, “f* off” expression on their faces, high, very high, stiletto heels regardless the situation and place…

But rather strange pantyhose. Dull, greyish, “cold” coloured, “dead skin” looking. I don’t understand why. Even in the shops (Wolford is the only exception) I could not find any transparent tights with normal “warm” colours. Just coffee-brown, dark suntan colour with a slight lilac shade and that light “greyish” one called “natural”. Yes, you can buy black, blue, red, etc, but I mean close-to-skin colours. I checked Oroblu, Filodoro, Glamour, Levante, Philippe Matignon with exactly the same result.

Business calls in pantyhose encasement

I was working from home today and suddenly it came to my mind, that I was discussing business stuff over the phone, simultaneously sending mails, checking news, etc while wearing pantyhose (everywhere) and a leotard. Kinky enough? It felt quite normal and usual, though. That reminds me one Aurora’s video (less bubble gum, I hate bubble gum….)

And no, it’s not difficult to type when you hands and fingers are enclosed in thin, filmy, gleaming fabric… ohhh…. I love that…
