My wife and I (although more me) find our selves constantly looking at nylons and guessing are they stockings, could they be hold ups or are they just boaring ti***s? every day I just automatically find my self noticing any lady in nylons then wondering what type? I guess by the very fact that any one reading this has enough of an interest in stockings that you are looking at this site and therefore you all might find your selves doing the same as us? what are your thoughts?

I've spent every day for the past XXXX years doing the same. It gets me up in the morning!

ooohhh eerrr misses.

Nothing wrong with admiring womens legs in my not very humble opinion. I don't look up their skirts or down their cleavage, a beautifully dressed calf is enough for me

I have worn stockings all my adult life and I always find myself looking for tell-tale signs in other women.

Have to admit that I do the same! No harm in looking (as long as it is discrete) and trying to work out if they are stockings are not is part of the intrigue for me.

Generally, I always assume that other women are wearing tights.

Unless they are obviously wearing RHTs or FFs you won't be able to tell from the look anyway.

I am not talking about bumps under tight skirts here or other indications, just the look of the stockings themselves.

Does it really matter though?

If you are happy with what you wear, why not extend the same courtesy to others.

I do everything I can to be discreet! I'm always curious about other women's fashion choices, but I don't want to show off my stocking tops or suspender belt in public. I do like it when the wrinkles in non-stretch stockings show. I think it's really cute and funny.

I think women who dress up and wear stockings are much classier and more confident of themselves - and if their bumps show they dont worry about what other people think.

Women who just yank on a pair of pantyhose can't really feel that good and I don't think they have as much confidence in themselves. They are restricting and when I wore them made me feel tired - I used to yank them off as soon as I got home. Stockings give me much more energy and a better feeling of myself. Anyway (the unspeakable) you can get yeast infections from wearIng tights!

As to looking at other women and trying to guess, we don't seem to do this for some reason, but we do notice seams. What we do notice is their fashion sense and what they wear.

So is it normal to try to figure out if women are wearing stockings as opposed to tight? I guess we are saying no.

However, if one notices bumps or seams it is normal to appreciate the beauty, something like a flower.

When I'm dressed up for the trade show in Germany, I'll tend to talk to other business people, and sometimes there will be men who are similarly dressed up in a suit and tie. One time I saw a guy and asked him rather impulsively if his suit was Hugo Boss but it wasn't and I'm sure he was puzzled why I'd ask it. I tried to explain that I had a suit of similar pinstripe pattern and then realized that I didn't know how to say "pinstripe" in German.

On the 4th or 5th day of the trade show, I was talking to another German man, who was probably a couple of years my junior, and I noticed that he had unbuttoned the "neck" button of his shirt, because we were standing close to each other. Normally such a thing wouldn't matter, but he was wearing a tie, and it just looked like a Glamour Don't. I felt a bit bad for him because I suspected that the shirt was uncomfortable (ie poor fit). I had a similar situation (ie neck button not working because the shirt had shrunk or I had gained weight Laughing) and solved it by simply reusing a shirt I wore 3 days before, since it didn't seem dirty (lucky the suit jacket hides most everything except the neck button!).

I guess my point is that we tend to notice people who are dressed similar to us, and we'll notice these details, for admiration or other purposes. When I watch Queer as Folk, I always love seeing Brian Kenney dressed in his suit and tie, although I know most people prefer to see him undressed!

I'm one of those wicked women that takes away all doubt concerning my wearing of stockings. I never hide the reinforcements. I want people to know I'm a stocking wearer. The right sling backs or slides with RH&T or full fashioned seams is my method of removing all doubt. On occasion I will wear pumps. Naturally ff can be picked out as gartered hosiery to most people who know about gartered hosiery. To trained eyes who have looked upon stocking legs for over forty years RH&T nylons can be recognized in closed toe and heel shoes. It's not the wrinkles or garter bumps! It's the glassiness of the thread used to knit the stockings. It shines! It's the difference between a flat, semi gloss and gloss finish. Real nylon, non stretch stockings have an almost wet look to them. Set three women on a park bench with their legs crossed in stretch, non stretch lycra or similar material and non stretch nylon and look at the material over the knee caps. On a sunny day the only material that will exhibit a six pointed star with a shiny center will be the non stretch flat knit fitted stockings. Take a photograph of the same three materials and you will see what I mean. Real nylons have these qualities and be assured that the real nylon connoisseurs can pick them out in a heart beat. So keep looking and you will see what I mean.

My guy can tell a full fashion stocking from pantyhose in a second. He looks all the time, very discreetly. He will point out to me how well a woman is dressed or for me to look at hoisery (usually fishnet or something different) but i don't think we ever see another woman wearing ff stockings, other then myself. I know i get alot of looks, and i think most people dont know what they really are, just that they are different because i wear seams, french or cuban heels alot.
My answer is yes, it is normal. The only people who look are those interested in fashion or how well put together a woman is with her attire or those who just love legs. no harm.
