    There are quite a few reasons for that. First of all some women really don't like them. Secondly, the media and the so called fashion experts have been fanatically campaigning against pantyhose over say the last ten years. And most people being herd animals and followers, the result is that most likely even those who would like to wear pantyhose do, not for fear of being considered unfashionable, old fashioned and what have you. The pantyhose bashing has successfully resulted in this dismal bare leg trend of nowadays. But I fully agree with you, pantyhose look always lots better than bare legs. Hopefully there will be a reversal of this horrid trend.

    Stockings, no longer pantyhose. Pantyhose look a sprint extra clever than bare legs yet whats the relaxing in a nylon lined butt. Stockings make the legs look tremendous by way of fact they are thinner than pantyhose, plus they end on the top of the thigh. the ladies undies in extra seen, and 0.5 the time she is donning a garter belt this is much extra appealing. bare legs in the workplace or everywhere dressy is basically undeniable trashy, and the place I come from employers won't have it, they insist on women individuals donning hose.

    It's not as comfortable and it's only for dressy occasions. They don't look so much better than bare legs, they're fake, but they do cover up a lot of imperfections on legs, like color, bad skin etc and they smooth the legs giving off the appearance of better skin. There's just more times when you would wear things bare legged. Shorts, summer time, for dressy occasions and work most women wear pants now.

    To understand, let's try an experiment:

    1. Shave your legs.

    2. Put on a pair of pantyhose.

    You will probably notice that they are hard and annoying to get on. Wear them all day. If it's hot, you will probably not like the feeling of the material sticking to your skin. Even if you're not hot, if you have sensitive skin, you'll probably find that the sensation of the material on your legs is itchy, at best, downright unbearable, at worst. It's possible, too, in the course of your day, that they'll snag on something - even one of your own (not necessarily long) nails when you're pulling them down to go to the bathroom, or scratching your legs because they're itchy - and run, which means your legs now look bad, AND you'll have to go to the store and buy another pair of pantyhose.

    Mostly brainwashed. Add laziness. They're not that uncomfortable, I've tried them on out of curiosity and thought they were awesome.

    If you like the feeling of nylon on your legs and round your privates, you wear them! Then you might understand why us women don't - especially in summer.

    Why don't men wear suits anymore? They look so much better than t-shirts and washed jeans.
