Nylons...they were once a major component of women's wardrobes. Women wore expensive, sheer, hose to be dressed up, along with spike heels and short skirts. They put unmistakable emphasis on their lower bodies. They were not only feminine, but sexy, professional and elegant. There were also everyday stockings. Many women wore sheers with their daily wardrobe of dresses, skirts and even pants. They made women's legs look smooth and tan, toned and shapely they way they sparkled and reflected light. Tiny skin Imperfections disappeared and were smoothed out by slinky sheer. Yes they were a nuisance sometimes and getting an unsightly run or making necessary adjustments could spoil a gal's day. All that feminine attire was a terrific way to flirt and start up a conversation.
