Women used to wear them all the time. Then they were out. Now they’re back IN...

Love them or hate them – panty hose are back in style...

In the old days, 10 or 20 years ago – most women ALWAYS wore stockings while wearing a dress or skirt outside of summer. Fashion trends and tanning products gave nylons the boot for a while. Now, according to the fashion industry, the bare-leg look is SO 2010. Just ask Kate Middleton. A royal trendsetter, she ops for super-sheer hose for a young, sleek look. Shows like Mad Men have given stockings a boost too. Vintage style stockings with a seam down the back are all the rage on the fashion runways right now.

Even if you were glad to see them go – you may be pleasantly surprised by newer pantyhose technology. Elastic wastes are more comfortable, shaping and sheerness has improved – and you can even find stockings with shapely enhancements above the hemline if you need it.
