Now, some of you might be thinking "Big deal! So, girls won't be wearing tights! I'm still going to wear them!", but you aren't seeing the big picture! If opaque legwear continues to fall out of favor with women, then finding tights for ourselves is just going to get more difficult! Already the major tights-manufacturers seem to be cutting back on their selections-colors are getting harder to find, and a good, opaque tight is also getting scarce (Et tu, Donna?). Women are still the majority in the tights-market, guys. We need them to start buying up opaques again so that manufacturers will ride the trend back to the former glory of tights-retailing. This will not happen until after we purge the world of this scourge. This scourge which sucks vital tights-buying money from the purses of our women, and which actually discourages women from wearing opaque legwear (which would hide the evidence of their participation in this loathsome practice, evidence that they are so inexplicably proud of.) I urge you to join me in fighting against this horrible, anti-tights institution.>Ladies and gentlemen, we must stop the pedicure. Thank you. -Depon It does seem as though the tide has once again sadly turned against tights. Even when women do wear tights, they refer to them as "leggings" or "Pants" or whatever. It seems some women just can't bare the idea of wearing "TIGHTS".Even in my ballet class all the women usually just wear black cotton lycra leggings. One woman told me that "she wouldn't be caught DEAD in tights!!"What's the world coming to when more guys than girls want to wear tights????As to the problem of our favorite styles and colors of tights not being available in the future, I say stock up now. Thank God my favorite tights are Capezios ballet pink tights that will allways be around.................my legs!!! I to loved the mid 80's to early 90's when literally everybody was wearing beautiful lycra spandex tights, leotards and unitards. I really miss those wonderful days. Anyone out there have a time machine??? Answers to this message:
