Do you remember white tights

I had forgotten the white and off-white tights, but yes, I wore them too in the '70s with mini-dresses with short or puff sleeves, high-heeled lace up grannie shoes, oh and my tights had floral designs all the way down the outer leg!

I was a student living away from home, so I never took any of these garments home in the holidays, as my parents would have had a fit! And as I was under 18, I would have had to change into something more "suitable".

Don't remember the tights but did have white pop socks and leather look crinkly boots

Yes, the white tights I remember well. If we couldn't afford to buy them I seem to remember boiling tan ones in bleach at a friend's house . I had the flat, lace up moccasins and the broderie anglais button-up dress from Chelsea Girl. My dad wouldn't let me wear the dress as he said I looked pregnant so I would get my pal to smuggle it out the house for me and I would change at her house. When the midi look came in we would wear the coloured tights (red/green/whatever).

I have always been short and never very slim but here we are in 1970

I thought of the song "brand new pair of rollerskates" when I saw you two.

It was a wedding I think MissA.

Just how I remember the 70s.
Looks like you're having great fun!

Me and DH about 1972 ish

I couldn’t wear tights for years, at 5’ 11” they weren’t long enough in the crotch, I just kept pulling them up and ripped them in the process. So no tights or trousers 😧

Fashion at that time was a nightmare for me as I’ve always had fat legs and need to hide them as much as possible. I did wear blue tights at one time in later life until I realised how they showed up my varicose veins.

I wore the white tights, ecru and red tights as well. My boots were similar to Grannynanny but were cream suede, how impractical can you get? Really enjoyed my Biba 60s clothes.

I used my sisters perfume and her make up come to that, occasionally her clothes too, probably even her white tights. Most without her knowledge. 😳
She got her own back when she borrowed my long sheepskin coat and left it on the bus. I never got it back.

I remember white Lacey gloves for church.

Yep, I had the white lacy tights too!
I had the white lacy gloves in the fifties for going to Sunday School.

I had lace up white shiny pvc boots like these in the late sixties. They were so uncomfortable to wear but I wouldn’t admit it.

I loved all the 60s and 70s fashions. I was just the right shape - tall and very slim (I'm still tall).

I had white tights, very short skirts, at one point a bright, flowered trousers suit, leather coat, white knee length boots, Dusty Springfield eyes. Great times.

White tights, clumpy shoes and a patchwork short dress which was really a nightdress from M&S. it didn’t look like a nightdress and I wore a black polo neck underneath it. (Still like a polo neck under things).
Hair in bunches. A few years ago I put my hair back in bunches, but my DD wouldn’t allow it😁

I have a daughter like that, hollysteers. Thankfully DD2 is more relaxed about what her mum wears!

I remember white stretchy knee length boots and also white lipstick but not white tights.

I used to wear Kiku perfume (1970) in a chubby yellow plastic bottle until my more sophisticated friend at college recommended. ‘Youth Dew’ by Estée Lauder. Dark brown liquid and ye gods it was powerful stuff! Then in 1973 I discovered ‘L’air du Temps’ which was (is) beautiful. I wore it for my wedding.

I had some white tights when I was about 12/13. I wore them proudly, with a pair of wet look sock things that you wore inside shoes to convert them into boots . I'm sure they were as bad as they sound, but (a) it was the early 70s, so worse was yet to come, and (b) if you can't indulge in crimes against fashion at 13, when can you?

Fortunately, no photos of these monstrosities exist.

😂

DanniRae oooh Blue Grass my Dad bought me some on the plane back from holiday -I was about 15.
I don’t know why I chose that, I wouldn’t now, but I can actually remember the scent and be transported back to then -even the outfits I wore.

I too had white tights, and grey ones. I must have been more fashionable than I remember.
The thing I loved most were my long red boots ( before my calves became too big to find long boots that fit).

I wore white, lacy tights but can't remember what with. I DO remember reeking of Blue Grass perfume........!
Funny what stays in your memory?

I remember that just after the white tights and shirt skirts/dresses episode we moved into midi and maxi length skirts and dresses I loved the maxi length gypsy skirts worn with Jesus sandals and no tights.
