[i]-- Well, you basically just said it. Back in Shakespearean and Colonial times, men wore tights and it wasn't questioned--they were in fashion. And interestingly enough, men established the fashion. I read somewhere that in Shakespeare's time, the social perception was that men's legs were considered a prime asset (much as women's breasts), and showing their form off was an appealing thing to do. But times changed... they always do, for one reason or another. Who knows, maybe the average man didn't have good legs, so they shunned wearing them. A fat man in tights looks pretty silly. Another thing, is that they were expensive. Silk was the fabric of choice, and you didn't have nylon or Lycra, so the cost may also have contributed to their demise from the men's wardrobe.For women, it was prostitutes that first started wearing silk stockings in public, and later they appeared on the fashion scene when people realized that they flattered women's legs (and less conservative dress codes allowed it). Also, the more sheer, the more sexy they'd be. Manufacturing constraints kept pantyhose from emerging until the industrial age, when textile technology made them economically feasible. Once someone came up with the idea of stockings and panties all-in-one, they were a hit--no more garters, less time to get them on and off. And of course, tights got a major boost in production. But by then, waist to toe hosiery was exclusively identified with women, and the idea of men wearing them seemed effeminate.Personally, I think they could style a suit in a way to accentuate the wearing of knickers, pants that are cropped at the knee. A man could then wear knee highs or tights underneath in black, navy, brown... it could be a good look. Maybe one day that style will appear on the fashion scene.Women in general could care less about waist high hosiery. A sizeable number of women believe that pantyhose are a money-making scheme, because they wear out so quickly, and are a chore to wear and maintain (easy to snag, have to be hand washed, etc). And even more have touted that they aren't comfortable, especially on hot days. Recent advanced in fabric have produced some which are silky to the touch, and I've heard some women enjoy them. But overall, if you could say to all women of America "You don't have to wear pantyhose or tights to work", a sizeable percentage of them would stop. But pantyhose will always be part of the fashion scene. It is obvious that women's legs look better in good quality pantyhose, and women ALWAYS want to look great. I couldn't agree more!~Seamless~ [/i]
