Why are wrinkled stockings (or tights for that matter) sexy ?

The best answer I can think of is, I dont know but they are !

Err…they’re not. They just look scruffy, like an un-ironed shirt, or a tee-shirt in a restaurant, in my humble opinion.

Well as long as the wrinkles are just a little hint around the ankle or the knee I find it to be a pleasant view.
When they sag and are wrinkly all over It's not good.

Firstly... tights... when tights are wrinkled it just means they are 'penguinating' that is... the gusset has dropped causing the wearer to 'walk like penguin' at least that is my experience!
Stockings however.... different matter!
Personally I kind of agree with gripper, I don't find wrinkled stockings sexy, they make me feel improperly dressed and as such vulnerable. Perhaps it is this latter feeling which makes them appear sexy to a man, a woman exuding an air of vulnerability. Of course that added to the knowledge that 100% nylon stockings wrinkle more than those which contain a certain % of Lycra probably increases the 'sexyness'.
There are some that say get the size and method of suspense correct and you don't get wrinkles even with 100% nylon. I think more straps helps to prevent any twisting, which for me is a cause of wrinkles.
So why, if I personally don't like wrinkles, would I ever put myself in the position of having to put up with them?
Well.. gios do feel divine... and maybe I like to feel a little vulnerable!

Oh and Tetley... how do you feel about perforations!?

Penguinating ? now thats a new way of describing it Nod

As for the wrinkles thing, I can appreciate why most ladies feel the are unsightly and probably the same goes for ladders but I'd wager theres a fair proportion of guys (myself included) who do find the hint of a wrinkle a tad sexy.

Perforations ? well if that means ladders in 'Stockingese' then I'm partial to those as well Wink

Well if it came to the vote I think I'd have to say perforations in stockings would win my attention more than tea bags Very Happy

Maybe theres a new 'Stockinese' language in the making here :-

Sagging = penguinating

Ladders = perforations

I'm sure there are loads more that members can add Nod

It seems women are more worried about bumps than wrinkles. I think some women are afraid that bumps might be seen as a signal that they might be available. Wrinkles are just wrinkles. I think a tiny wrinkle is cute but not a bunch of them. Personally, I don't even mind bumps if they are subtle and not too obvious.

I think its safe to say 'bumps' (or suspender contours as they are known in Stockingese) will get any mans blood rushing Wink

Oh, really? Confused

Many of my opaque tights get wrinkled at the ankles, so the stocking hypothesis doesn't really add up.

As for the 'bumps', well, they don't get my old man's blood rushing! (but then, I don't think a lot does, except for pictures of Kate Moss showing her boobs, which he's into for some reason Rolling Eyes )

Kate Moss, Boobs? Nah don't think so!

Unless you're talking about little bumps again.....

A few years ago while out shopping one of my suspenders came undone (it was a 4 strap belt). I was going to find somewhere to reattach it when a nice young man stopped me and said Excuse me, I notice one of your stockings is loose. Would you like me to help you adjust your suspenders. I have to say I admired his nerve, and I took hm up on the offer!

The subtle wrinkle found around the knees and ankles can be very sexy and stockings are known for this, it is part of their wonderful appeal as they are 100% nylon. Whereas the lycra in most tights won't allow this to happen giving the wearer an almost plastic look as in a touched up photo. There are several photo websites where the women actually have a section devoted to wrinkles in the stockings. As for the 'bumps' here again as long as they are subtle it is again very appealing. Blessed are the wrinkles and bumps and the women who have them!

I agree totally with Gripper and Strawberry. As a CD, I HATE wrinkles - I much prefer the leg-conforming style that a touch of lycra gives one.

No offense intended to anyone here - just expressing my opinion as an observer and one who enjoys the feeling of stockings on my own legs.

I gave up wearing real nylons because of wrinkles Mad love the feel and sheerness of plain knits but unless you have "stockings shaped legs" and correct height to shoe size ratio you'll struggle to look smart? Never yet had anyone say "I like your modern copy FF stockings or tights" to me either! Laughing

Good morning Matt .... well, we men may not know a lot but we do know what we want and what we like and I would be thrilled to see and feel a few wrinkles on sweet legs encased in sheer nylons. Difficult to find but my hunt continues Wink

Wrinkles around my ankles and knees are the reason why I decided not to ware nylon stockings years ago (I was 19 then).But years later my hubby explained to me that wrinkles are this what makes nylon stockings so sexy. Love for nylons came later.

I like a few wrinkles too, not the Nora Batty look but a few subtle wrinkles at knee and ankle usually give rise to a small smile. Smile

I find a small amount of wrinkles at the ankle or knee extremly exciting.
Even more exciting are the wrinkles under a suspender button.
Why? I don't know. They just do it for me

As a stockings wearer - ff of course! There is a world of difference between loose fitting 'wrinkles' and the exquisite erotic look of 'crinkles' at the knee and ankle which indicate true nylons. Smile My male admirers simply adore this.

I think the odd little wrinkle around the knee or ankle somehow is suggestive of a kind of delicacy in the stocking, a subliminal message that what you see needs to be handled with care.

I'm no psychologist by any means but I suspect the reason a lot of men like wrinkles is without knowing it they extend this thought to the wearer.

Well I do anyway and I'm sticking to that theseis Razz

Spot on Tetley mate. Just a hint is de regeur (!)
Mind you - a few extra wrinkles don't go a miss with me.
They shaw that a lady is 'wearing' so to speak.
( Yes, I know we've had a mega debate about that term)
