Nylons

[fauxklore]

I keep a list of things that I will not do once I retire. One of the items on that list is wearing pantyhose.

So it intrigues me to notice how many women I see on the metro who are not wearing pantyhose. In the case of the youngsters who wear flipflops, hose wouldn't be feasible, of course. I like to believe they change to respectable footwear when they get to work and that includes putting on hose. (I admit that I often wear sneakers or Keene sandals and change to pumps when I get to work myself.) But I noticed an awful lot of women wearing decent adult shoes who were also bare legged.

Is this a real trend? Am I really just an old fuddy duddy if I think it looks wrong not to wear nylons with business attire?

These days I wear pants. If it's good enough for Hillary, and Valerie Jarrett ...
