I know a lot of people have seen my wifes posts in the outfits forum, so I thought I would post one here. Is it worldwide that everybody has gone casual. I know here in the states, she is usually the only one wearing stockings when we go out. I dont even notice a lot of ladies wearing pantyhose (tights). If they only new how much men appreciate a nice stonging clad leg. Its sad when you go to a formal function and see a bunch of bare legs. Hopefully it will change soon.........

Same here, USA couple, in the UK. No different.
Jeans and more jeans....like a sea of denim for almost every occasion. Unless you specify on the invite that you want 'black tie and formal', people will turn up in jeans.

There are some gorgeous jeans available nowadays and, it's a bit like Victorian times and the frowned-upon showing of an ankle, there is nothing quite like deliberately wearing some lovely seamed stockings with some stylish high-heeled shoes under your jeans and casually letting one shoe fall off over a meal or in a meeting.
I've closed a few deals that way

I'm in the midwest and last year had a small rant here about sweats and sloppy garb everywhere, not just the grocery store or picking up the kids but even weddings in frazzled T-shirts (I swear it's true).
I'd picked up a couple kids (mid-20s) from a past job and we went to lunch in zero degree, "brisk" wind conditions a couple weeks ago and in the comfy little deli I noticed at least 6 women (I suppose there were guys there too) in skirts and some sort of hose which was a revelation to me. I hadn't seen skirts and hose around my little city aside from the kids out on the town in the summer.
In short, it was refreshing to see people dressed nicely in winter and it seems less hopeless.
Even the grocery store seems a bit better dressed this year! Did everyone get sick of sweats and slop?
Just an observation from the prairie.......

My wife loves to wear stockings and seams. She says they make her feel better and she walks with more pride. There are some great colours and designs, pink ribboned welts and even rhinestones. People really enjoy seeing them and notice them and sometimes comment. One lady commented on some silver lurex seams and said she would like to get some for her daughter's wedding. I have always thought that stockings made women who are in the know more confident as well as more feminine. And women who wear them certainly display more intelligence and are much more interesting to talk to.
