Tights? What Tights?

Thanks,
I ordered the third one and will give it a try. I have considered garters before but they seem a bit binding. Guess the best way to find out is to actually try it out and see.

A hook and eye adjustable waist is always best - and I would say the 2nd or 3rd were the better suspender options.

I suspend when I do wear hosiery as I prefer stockings over pantyhose options.

I would say - be sure to wear your panty/brief over the top so but your belt on, put your stockings on and then put your panty on.
The reality of wearing suspended stockings, usually always worn as I described, only in lingerie catalogues etc do they wear a suspender belt over a panty.

Why fret over "tights" vs "leggings" or skirt vs kilt; if the sock is attached to the legging....or even if the person in image number two is male or female?

Two people obviously dressed as they chose for the day and -- wow, they both look like normal human beings! The notion of better, or worse, is nothing more than a personal preference -- which might even change given the activity, settings, or a thousand other factors. If we want men in skirts and dresses to be accepted as a norm, we also need to be open to other deviations from the norm or it becomes just another clique, club -- another rut of conformity imposed by what others think.

I personally have not taken well to trend for body art by tattoo, especially as it is too permanent -- but it is not mine to decide what somebody else wants to do, as long as their choices don't interfere with mine. If we want freedom of choice, that same freedom must be granted to others.

Well said!

I usually wear tight in conjunction with breeches. Tights for guys have always been a thing, though not as popular in modern times.

I've always like the look of breeches, but never owned any.

Funnily enough, my parents used to climb mountains in the 70’s (not the “dangerous” kind), and I saw a photo of them - he was wearing corduroy breeches. Didn’t think much of until this thread, and after watching “The Eiger Sanction” where Clint Eastwood is decked out in a pair during the climb.

I come at this from a slightly different direction. I have never much liked socks!!! So going to skirts gave me the opportunity to try different things on the ends of my legs. My favourite has become stockings, normally 40d in the warmers months to 80d or 100d in the cooler months. I have a number of suspended belts, all with 6 or 8 metal clips and minimal lace! Pants are worn on top and provide easy toilet options. I have found a great source of brightly coloured stockings on Amazon. I do not shave my legs so I rarely go lower than 40d. On hot days, bare legs, on really cold days, thick warm tights!!!
