Opaque pantyhose or tights

Now that the Fall season is coming, opaque pantyhoses or tights will be making a come back. Yes, opaque pantyhoses. Already we can see women starting to put on opaque pantyhoses with their dresses and skirts.

Opaque pantyhoses tend to be thicker and can provide more warmth in the colder weather. Furthermore, these are not as thick as long johns and are definitely more comfortable to wear.

How To Wear Opaque Tights/Pantyhoses (for the ladies)


  • Tights are so versatile and they truly work with tons of different looks! Here are a few tips to get you started rocking this trend.
  • Try them with a sweater dress. Talk about cozy chic! Try a sweater dress over black opaque tights with cute ankle boots for effortless style.
  • Use bright colors sparingly. Remember that if you rock brightly colored opaque tights, keep the rest of your outfit simple and let your legs be the focus.
  • Try them with a party dress. Glam up your going-out look and stay warm while you walk to the bars or parties! Pair a sparkly dress with opaque tights, hot accessories and peep toe heels!
  • Try matching your shoes. Wear your tights with flats or heels in the same color for a look that makes your legs look a mile long!
Opaque Pantyhoses/Tights are also for men too.
These can replace the socks you wear (esp. black opaque pantyhose) when you are wearing long pants, and they are very comfortable too. Wearing opaque pantyhose under your work pants is a great way to start for men who are comtemplating wearing pantyhose for better looking legs and better leg health. It is not noticeable under pants and they can easily pass for dress socks. Forget the long johns for the colder weather. Opaque pantyhoses are far more confortable and can provide the warmth you need.

Once you are more confortable with wearing opaque pantyhoses, you can then slowly try to wear sheer pantyhose (matching your skintone) with whatever you like to wear them with, eg. with bermudas, shorts, 3/4 pants etc.

Pantyhoses should be a unisex fashion item.

Healthy Legs boost Stamina

Leg vitality starts with healthy legs. When the system of muscles, veins, and valves in your leg and foot becomes weak it disrupts normal blood circulation. This means blood flow in your legs gives in to gravity and pools in veins and valves and will cause varicose or spider veins which is not only unattractive but also will make your legs feel heavy, tired and achy.

Simply wearing graduated compression/support hosiery regularly does wonders to help legs stay healthy, vital and supple. Of course, coupled with sensible diet.Exercise helps boosts your leg muscles, which helps your veins pump blood. Make regular workouts part of your weekly routine. A brisk walk (especially while wearing your compression hose) will go a long way toward improving your leg's overall health and beauty.

If you sit for a long time like when flying or on long car trips, stand up and walk around every 2 hours or so. Wearing graduated compression stockings will help blood circulation even while sitting. If you stand for long periods sit down periodically. If you lie down elevate your legs above the level of your heart whenever possible.

When circulation in your legs is kept healthy, you will not only look great on the outside, you will glow on the inside as well. Remember, take good care of your legs and it will take great care of you.

So men ... start wearing support pantyhose (female or male pantyhose, your choice) to maintain healthy legs. Step by step, we can change the society's perception that pantyhose are only for women (who in recent years, hates to wear pantyhose).
