What is everones opinon on wearing either plain or pattened stockings this winter? I just bought some hot boots but am sick of wearing skinny legs tucked in, so what does everyone think of wearing either shorts or a shortish skirt with stockings?

Some people can pull them off, and some people can't. Black opaque stockings should not be worn with really short skirts because they make your figure look oddly shaped, and patterned stockings can only be worn with plain (non-denim) skirts. As for shorts with stockings, personally I don't think it looks good on most people.

I guess you'll just have to play around and see what suits your body-type and style.

i am in favour of stockings on absolutely every possible occasion.

i recently bought 10 pairs of patterned stockings at the myer sale and have been working my way through them one at a time.

my fave are a pair of black opaques with blue hearts on them.
i have tiger print ones that i am a little afraid of, but am working on the perfect accompanying outfit.
the fire engine red ones i thought were cool ended up looking quite strange in photos, but...live and learn.

stockings = <3 :D i think its just a matter of getting colour combinations right. black stockings will go with anything imo, but just not with anything too short...bold coloured stockings like blue, purple, red, green go really well with black skirts and dresses as well.

any ideas for accompanying outfits involving stockings? it's semi formal so i dont think skinnies would work.

I LOVE STOCKINGS!
I would marry them if they were a person.

Gosh, I just have such an obsession with them. They're my staple item this winter along with boots and minidresses. LOVE LOVE LOVE. :uhhuh:

God, I wear stockings CONSTANTLY. I have new boots and they just look perfect with stockings. Oh, yes.
I have an insane array of stockings, polkadots, crazy prints, bright green, hot pink, bright red, oddly patterned, striped... mmmm, stockings. Yeah, I guess I'm a fan.

We're probably twins, you know. I literally wear stockings 24/7 (except in the shower). They make me feel really skinny. ha! :eek:

lol yeh. i have been permanently scarred by stockings.

my boss' daughter came into work on saturday and she had on a dress with stockings and boots. I admit, she looked good, but I don't see the point. I don't think many people can pull it off. Plus, stockings don't keep you THAT warm.

but hey, that's just my opinion. if you like it, go for it!

white knee high stockings with a skirt makes us male counterpart of your species very happy to be alive. but i guess if the point is to keep warm well......
