Your question about whether to let your 15-year old son wear a dress without pantyhose or tights is an interesting question.
First, if your son wants to wear a dress without pantyhose or tights, let him. Sometimes the best lessons learned are learned the hard way. Wearing a dress (or skirt) in the winter without wearing a pair of pantyhose or tights will make his legs (and the rest of him) cold very quickly. I know I personally would not wear a dress or skirt in the winter without at least wearing pantyhose or when it's really cold, a pair of tights.
Secondly, he should be thinking of pantyhose or tights as make-up for his legs. A nice pair of tights or pantyhose finishes the outfit, making the wearer look more finished and classy. Yes, I know lots of women prefer the bare-leg look but I've always thought that nearly anytime a woman (or a guy) wears wears a skirt or dress, pantyhose or tights complete the outfit, making the outfit either more sexy or more professional.
Ann, I do not know how your son came to like wearing a dress --- Did you catch him doing it or did he come to you withh his desire? Whether you caught him and it's continued or he came to you with his desires it's a good thing that you are open-minded and willing to support and love him and even encourage his behaviour rather than tell him it's wrong and to not do it. The later will create a desire to do it secretly and create more issues as he grows older. True, he has a fetish that most people will not accept or tolerate but if you love him as he is, he will have a better chance of finding a woman that loves him dressed like she does, in dresses, heels and pantyhose!
My journey began when I was just 5 or 6. I recall seeing the girls sitting behind me in first grade, lifting their dresses and showing us their lacey skirts and tights. I thought they looked fun to wear and began to sneak into my mom's bedroom to try on her slips, girdles and nylons. A couple of years later I even remember writing my mom a note, asking her to buy me a dress or skirts, a bra and slip, a girdle, nylons and tights. Sadly, I was too scared to give her the note and though I kept it for quite sometime hidden in my desk drawer, it was never discovered.
As you probably know from helping your son get dressed there is a special feeling that comes over a man as he prepares to dress like a woman. For me it starts in the shower when I shave my legs.
To me there is only one thing that feels better than slipping my hair-free legs into a pair of silky sheer pantyhose! Of all of the pantyhose I've tried Hanes Silk Reflections are among the best and what I regularly wear. This Christmas I got 18 packages of Silk Reflections from co-workers and friends --- All came from the local outlet mall where they come three per package --- So I ended up with more than 70 pairs of Silk Reflections alone!!
I love how the sheer, silky material caresses every curve of my legs and how the gorgeous sheer texture gives my legs a glarmorous look. The control top comfortably smooths and shapes my figure and the sandalfoot works well with open-toed shoes. Your son may like this last feature too but you especially might like the fact that Hanes Silk Reflections pantyhose are perfect for both day and evening wear! What brand of pantyhose do you and your son wear Ann?
One of the great things about dressing like a woman is that you can become almost anything you want at anytime, from being a cheerleader or school teacher to a maid or business woman. There are also times when I dress up that I like a specific moment of the process. One of those moments is when I look down my legs when I just have on just my pantyhose and shaper slip, and I marvel at the contrast between the lacey bottom of my white shaper slip against my Barely There pantyhose(a suntan shade of pantyhose) from Hanes.
Dressing like a woman is a wonderful feeling and your son is lucky to have a supportive mom like you to both let him dress up and help him to dress correctly. Let him wear anything he wants. Show him how to shave and wear make-up properly. Help him build a collection of clothing that will make his girlfriend envious. It's quite a compliment to have your girlfriend ask you if she can borrow your favorite skirt, heels or even a pair of pantyhose!
It's an even more electrifying expereience to walk into a mall on a spring day, a light breeze lifting your skirt ever so slightly, the sun warming your pantyhose-covered legs, and hearing your heels click-click-click on the pavement. Eyes will turn but it's your day to shop and be the woman you've always wanted to be!!
Good luck to your son and let him know that wearing dresses, heels and pantyhose do not make him gay --- Wearing dresses, heels and pantyhose will allow him to live the life he wants to live and to live it fully with no concessions and no regrets!!

YES. Pantyhose are a must for wearing a skirt by both males and females -- it just looks right and he or she won't be looked like they just stepped out of a double wide -- especially in the winter, but maybe not during hot days in the summer -- let him decide. Shaving is important before putting on hose. Don't encourage him to wear hose without shaving first...it's embarrassing and defeats the purpose of the hose, to show off your good looking legs...
I had a female gym teacher who used to do that and I didn't have the heart to tell her it looked horrible, because she was such a nice lady... ;-)

Dresses, and skirts are one of womens best kept secrets from us guys. And Leggings for men are available now, and being marketed as "Megging's". I own several pairs of Leggings, including a couple of pairs of the mens "Megging's". I do prefer the women's juniors size leggings, as they have a much better fit on my body. I also pay close attention to the percentage of Lycra "Spandex" in the material. The more Lycra used in them makes them shiny. Same as with tight's, but much more durable. They are very comfortable, and fun to wear. As a male, when wearing tights, or leggings, he should wear a long top, shorts, or maybe even a skirt, or a short dress if you find one he likes, that covers his buttocks and his man-bump. Help him to have some fun with his clothing.
