Men in Tights

Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

I completely agree. Wolford Satin Touch 20 for me as well. But now it is getting cooler I am buying the Wolford Satin Opaque 50. Just great! And a good range of colours too.

As for washing. All done by hand. They go nowhere near the machine, far too precious!
Life's too short to worry, just get on with it.

Mine go in the wash with everything else. But I don't tumble dry them. Lycra doesn't like heat. My wife is happy to tumble tights, so I try to get to the finished load of washing before it reaches the dryer.
Keep on skirting,

I use a hosiery mesh bag as well, for the most part, but sometimes I add a pair late, or there are too many, in which case the heavier materials can go in with the general wash. Of course they get hung to dry in the utility room , as do most of my clothes. Mostly, the only things that get tumble dried are towels, and if the weather is nice, they go outside on the line.

i like them alot, although i do not wear them much. i prefer opaque tights, which i guess are like pantyhose but thicker. i also like thigh highs and the workout style leggings than many women wear today. they are all very comfortable.

In my neck of the woods, tights are a must with skirts of any length during winter. Black is my favorite color, followed by gray and brown.
I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman.

I wear them in winter and when trying to make a skirt look more formal, they cover up the scrapes and cuts that I seem to always have on my legs.
