Should I wear pantyhose to work?
Okay, so I just started a new job working at a corporation. Im wondering if I should wear pantyhose when I wear dresses and skirts? The dress is business, suits, ties for men and nice suits or dresses for women. I see women wearing nice tops and dress pants as well. I am wearing a dress thats slightly above the knee (without panty hose bec its almost summer, theyre uncomfortable especially bec Im pregnant as well) and one gentlemen kept looking down towards the hem of my dress today, it made me wonder if i should be wearing pantyhose. (the bottom of my dress has alot of pattern so I wasnt sure if thats it either) But let me know what your experiance has been and what you think??Also, Ive observed 2 women wearing suits with pantyhose on today.
Thanks! Already wearing them today, I figured but honestly didn’t think of it yesterday!! Have any of you tried thigh-highs? Do they work at all?
If the men have to wear ties, the women have to wear pantyhose. If you saw two co-workers wearing pantyhose, you should wear them too. If wearing pantyhose or a skirt or dress are unbearable, wear dress pants with sheer knee-hi stockings or trouser socks (fancy; like tights). Do not wear “regular” socks with your dress slacks.
Be sure that your pantyhose have a bare minimum of 10% Lycra in the panty and leg portions. The lycra adds silkiness and comfort and helps the pantyhose stay put. L’eggs Sheer Energy have a remarkable reputation that goes back decades. They cost $5 to $6 a pair, but they are considered comfortable, durable, and they fit well. Avoid 100% nylon pantyhose like the plague; they are scratchy, baggy, and uncomfortable.
You can try maternity pantyhose, but several female co-workers told me that they had much better success and comfort by buying their usual style and brand of pantyhose ONE SIZE BIGGER. This provided enough room to allow the panty portion to cover the belly very comfortably. Apparently, the pantyhose stayed put, too.
Good luck.
