Are nylon stockings, pantyhose & fishnet stocking passe?

I was told on the NEWS that women are no longer buying nylons and are shaving their legs(it's cheaper). In Japan, women are spray painting their legs with a nylon paint(?) I was wondering if it was true(Darn that fetish!!!). If they are not, which are your favorites?

    If they are, then me and my friends are all passe at the age of 17. I think pantyhose may be becoming passe for the younger girls like myself, because we all wear bikini's thongs, and g-strings so who wants a big wad of nylon around your bottom. But we do like stockings, and hold ups, and sometimes fishnet stockings for a funky look.

    It is assumed you shave and cream your legs, and the sprays are ok for casual, like shorts and jean skirts, but not for when you really want to dress up in heels and something nice. Stockings rock for the really hot sexy look. Guys love them, and so do I.

    It is a lot of propaganda by the cosmetic industry. Sales of nylons and even fishnets by specialty stores are higher than ever. Possibly because major retailers are buying into the proposed trend.forcing sales to the specialty and online stores..

    The truth is that in many industries, hosiery is still required for women at work, and we all know that more women work today than ever. The trend does seem to be towards thi high style stockings, either hold ups or the kind that use a garter belt. Pantyhose sales are definitely down

    I personally prefer the regular stockings that require a garter belt. they are more sheer and comfortable and way more sexy.

    I love wearing nylons and wear them almost 24/7. I wear a bra, panty, and some kind of nylons to work every day, under my suit. I love pantyhose, stay ups, stockings with garter, whatever I am in the mood for. I love them all. When I get home then I break out the skirt, heels, etc. I love them, and I wish that more women wore them, because they are a huge turn on.

    It depend on what shoe that you will be wearing. If you are wearing covered court shoe type then reinforced toe is good since it protect from running. Most of the run in court shoe happen in the toe area. But if you are wearing sandal heels then sheer toe is a great way to show off both your sheer pantyhose and toenails color! As long as woman with pantyhose, it a great news for us - either reinforced or not is a bonus!

    Actually I think think stockings are becoming more popular, although there is no doubt women hate pantyhose. Who wouldn't? Would ou want to wear two pairs of underwear all day? I wear stockings with a garter belt to work, and out at night and there is nothing like them, but you could never get me into a pair of pantyhose.

    Maybe to women, but to me nothing compares to a beautiful set of legs encased in nylons and high heels.

    I almost live in nylons, stockings tights and panttyhose. Most of my shoes look better with them and they support my legs.

    I truly hope not. To me, there is nothing sexier then a women wearing a skirt with pantyhose seated with her legs crossed.

    any kind of stockings or pantyhose is SOOooooooooo 1980.

    no one wears them any more...they're uncomfortable and don't last anyway...which makes them a collossal waste of money.

    i just shave or use Nair or Veet and that works for me and any of the people i deem worthy enough for their opinion to count

    I dont like pantyhose at all..I think if your legs are beautiful the way they are, you dont need to cover them up....But I still shave them
