Top 5 Pantyhose Rules
Comments
What could be more feminine than a pair of silky smooth pantyhose?
I get a ton of questions about this topic, so let’s talk PANTYHOSE.
As you’ve probably noticed, not many genetic women wear pantyhose these days. But that doesn’t mean YOU can’t wear them … It’s all about choosing hose that make you look sexy and stylish – not like you stepped out of a time warp from the 80’s.
Follow these 5 pantyhose rules and I guarantee you won’t go wrong:
1. Only wear nude or black pantyhose.
Stick to the basics when it comes to hosiery. Only wear nude or black pantyhose. (Colored tights are a different story. See #5.)
For black hose, only wear jet black – not gray-black or brown-black.
2. Go for sheer nude hose that match your skin tone.
The #1 rule for nude hose is to match your skin tone as closely as possible. Don’t even think about “suntan” pantyhose unless that’s your actual skin tone! (Come on, who tans their legs only?)
The #2 rule is to buy the sheerest hose you can find. Nude hose should be like the foundation you wear on your face: invisible, but enhancing.
High-end hose brands like Donna Karan and Calvin Klein offer lots of nude shades to choose from so you should be able to find a perfect match in a beautiful, sheer tone.
3. Wear the best quality hose you can afford.
Most TG girls have great legs, so it pays to show them off with good pantyhose. There’s a big difference between drug store brands and department store brands. High quality hose give your legs a smooth, polished sheen.
4. Coordinate your hose to your shoes.
Wear black hose with black shoes for the most streamlined look. Wear nude hose with brown, metallic, or colored shoes.
And remember – NO pantyhose with open toe shoes!
5. Try tights.
Tights are a great alternative to pantyhose – especially when it’s cold out. (A P.S. to the U.K. ladies who call pantyhose and tights the same thing: In the U.S. tights are made of thicker material.)
The pantyhose rules DON’T apply to tights, so experiment with different colors, styles, and textures. Funky tights can totally make an outfit!
By the way, did you know that clothes are the FIRST thing people see before they make a first impression? That’s why it pays to get this right!

Now, let’s continue the pantyhose conversation! What kind of pantyhose and/or tights do you like to wear? What are your favorite brands? What tips and tricks have you discovered?

Real women wear pantyhose. I believe the women of this generation lose sexuality when in bare legs. As a twin spirit girl I always wear pantyhose. They make your legs (and you) look sexy.

I was shopping the other day and my thought was, “I REALLY MISS the glory days of pantyhose!” I used to feel like a little girl in a candy store when I would go to Macy’s or Nordstrom or any of the finer department stores to shop for hosiery. There were SO MANY brands and so many styles … I could spend an hour just looking at all my different choices. Not today, sadly. Poor selection, and no pride in the way what IS there is sorted and displayed. Now, having said all that, I will admit that once I discovered the brands from Europe and England like Aristoc and Pretty Polly, I buy ALL my hose from My Tights on the Internet. I’m wearing Pretty Polly Sun Oil Sheen Tights in my photo.
I LUV wearing pantyhose and tights, they make my legs feel so sexy! I typically wear either black or nude! Plus they can lift my booty and make it bigger!
I do not wear pantyhose. No matter the brand, they start out tight at the waist, and continue to get tighter all day long. By the end of a day, I feel asif I am being cut in two. I wear thigh-highs (or, as the British call tehm, “hold-ups”) or tights. My favorite brand is Levante. they make them in ranges from 10 to 50 denier, and I select whatever is appropriate for the occasion and whatever I am wearing. 50 denier, in opaque black can be worn with a business suit or a tuxedo, and no one knows they are not men’s dress stockings.
Hi Lucille
I went to the mall to try on some high heels and my pantyhose slowly work their way down.
Is their a reason for this and something to help prevent this? why no pantyhose with open toe heels, even with sheer toed? Thank-You
What I found is if you put them on corretly, one side of your hip at a time, they aren’t too much of a problem.
What I have found is to wear a girdle/shaper that has a long leg. This keeps my pantyhose in place, and I’ve never had a “creeping” problem. Take off the garters first if they come with them though if wearing pantyhose.
Hi Lucille!
Thanks for addressing this topic! It’s very useful for many of us.
I like pantyhose a lot, but I have to stick with dark-colored tights because I’m “not allowed” to epilate all my legs (when my parents notice I have epilated the legs things get really bad :/ so I can only get rid of the hairs in the thighs, where they cannot see what I do with my body).
I use nice high-quality brands because the difference is noticeable. (And they are not THAT expensive after all… at least compared with other clothing items).
I love wearing pantyhose on my shaved legs .they feel so silky on my legs and make my legs look so smooth .love hanes pantyhose and shiny tights with lyca in the hose .wearing my pantyhose with some cute high heels ,skirt ,or dress just makes be feel so good inside and out.nothing beats a great pair of legs in soft nice pantyhose .
I strngly agree with your pantyhose color selection being nude or some shade of black…my preference is Leggs sheer energy pantyhose…keep up the good work girl…………Tommi
I wear some sort of hose daily. with my pantyhose my shades are nude,beige and off black. MY BRAND IS EITHER just My Size Control Top or Hanes Silk reflectiobs.but the colors vary depending on the outfit.I also where theight hi and stockings with a garter belt when I feel flirty
i like wearing control top in nude or tan and i also wear white knee highs with jeans and i also wear black knee highs
I wear nude,black,& brown or any color I feel like wearing.I like it all.I do feel more feminine.I’m more the real me.
When I feel the shear hose on my skin it really gets me going.Looks great in a pair of heels and I enjoy the look I see.
I have had great luck with Spanx, especially for those of us gurls who don’t have perfect legs. I’m wearing Nude color Spanx in this picture, not only do they shape your butt they firm up your front with a high waist band that doesn’t roll over, very comfy.
Just wanted to say that Sheren Cox is crazy amounts of hot!
Pantyhose make a girl feel so sexy. My two favorite words combined.
Just wanted to say that you’re crazy amounts of hot!
Stockings are a great choice and Hanes makes some silky natural colors. I think sometimes you can get away with some of the other colors depending on what outfit you are wearing. Also, Leggs are great for when you are going to be in slacks but still want the feel of the pantyhose. They made a little more durable.
Hi
I love wearing leather look leggings feels great in them.

When I choose to wear pantyhose (I also enjoy wearing stockings) for the most part I usually wear “nude” or “little color” hose, or black pantyhose, dependent on the outfit I am wearing. My favorite brand is Hanes Alive in either sheer to waist support hose or control top. I do on occasion wear colored pantyhose if I am going out to a club or have a special outfit that begs to have colored hose worn with it but for most occasions it is black or nude.
You look awesome! Nice colors!
I love your feminine physique! It’s time for me to go the next stage in this male to female transition. I need ideas on how to dress and your image is a very sexy image to imitate!
WOW, You have GREAT legs and show them well. I too love wearing hose.
