Strictly tartan trews for me come rain or shine.

Have a nice day Micky.

Can you even buy suspender belts any more? I mean ordinary ones, not the things you’d probably find in Ann Summers….

Tights in the winter for me and only those from Snag who have comfy fitting tights for those of us who don't resemble a willowy supermodel.
If any men come on here I bet it will be stockings and suspenders as they are way more sexy than tights.
Bare legs in the summer.

Trousers for me, so no stockings or tights.

I can't remember the last time I wore tights. I wore stockings and suspenders in my teens but ditched them as soon as tights came on the market.
Trousers or long dresses for me these days.

I have not worn tights since I retired in 2003, and I can only wear trousers now because I have horrendously lymphoedematous legs.

Not worn stockings or tights for about 40 years 🤣🤣🤣bare legs or lovely wide trousers in fantastic colours and prints for the summer and slightly( but not much) more subdued in the winter

You don’t seem to be aware of the wide choice of female hosiery available nowadays MickyT. It’s not just “stockings or tights”.

That some women gave up wearing stockings & suspenders in favour of tights, and yet some women still wear them, is it because they are so uncomfortable to wear, or just too fiddly to put on, or is it more women seem to wear trousers now?
I'll probably get shot down for posting this lol
