Bet that got everyone's ears to perk up! 
Had some time over the weekend to catch up on some of the posts here and was surprised to see the one about slips come back to life and got to me thinking about other things most women took for granted at one time yet seem to almost have disappeared and obviously pantyhose came to mind.
First off I admit they could be hot and uncomfortable at times. There was many a day I was barely in the door and my heels were kicked across the room and started peeling them off. Now I will grant you women had options such as thigh highs or a garter belt and stockings but personally I found those more uncomfortable and presented other issues. Still back in the day hose was considered mandatory for most situations when wearing a skirt or dress and pantyhose was the hosiery choice of most women.
Not going to get into the reasons pantyhose is rarely worn anymore for there are many. Rather I want to hear your thoughts on them. Do you still wear them, if so how often? Do you view them as a necessity or more an accessory like jewelry or a scarf? Maybe even your favorite brand and shade or shades?

but probably 95% of the time or more it was pantyhose. Now that meant 5 days a week for at a very minimum 10 hours and generally more like 12. I also am a bit old fashioned in I believe a lady wears a skirt or dress to church so that meant at least Sunday mornings I had pantyhose on. Now add in going to a party or out on a date Saturday meant 7 days a week I wore pantyhose and many times that could be 4,5,6 weeks in a row. Not saying I have a hosiery fetish but it was just expected we wear it so I did as did every other woman. I am sure most complained about it or would be sitting on the bed pulling them on thinking "Do I really have to do this?" but we did.
