Rice and chips?

No. Stocking on one leg, other one open to the air.

Another vote for tights as legs are generally distracting either because they are not very nice or (as I am sure is the case) they are very nice...although having said that weather forecast this AM for tomorrow was warm and hot and flustered is never a good interview 'look'

Very sheer tights ( or stockings) are rather alluring too though, surely?

Knee highs?

Very practical. As are stockings. They don't suit the overweight.....something I miss, as they are much more Mse than tights, as you get much more wear out of stockings than tights, as your rarely ladder both legs at once. And they are more comfortable than tights until you get portly, when you look (and feel) like a strung ham. Its very depressing.

Just looking at that site, I had no idea some tights culd cost so much. All mine have pretty much come from the market for 50p or the multipacks in Asda/similar for £4 for 3-5 pairs

Shamelessly lifted from a thread on the house buying board but hugely addictive:

Nice one. Half and half with curry sauce... full of win.

Do they still come in multipacks for that price from the supermarket?

I wear knee highs when I wear trousers and smart shoes. They remind me of my rather older latin teacher.

I think so.... not bought any for a couple of years. Still got loads, probably got a carrier bag full of black ones and some brown ones. Haven't needed to wear tights as I've not been working for 7 years.... and at the last job jeans were what everybody wore as it was a filthy engineering environment without heating.

You just reminded me of some tights I had when I was 10. They were two colours. Each leg was two vertical colours. black/white and grey/white. Can't remember where I got them from/why.... but I liked them.

A bit like these http://www.tightsplease.co.uk/assets/images/0-1523--BasicTP-size-220x293.jpg

I've bought some quite a lot like that from tk maxx. I'm saving them for when I update my wardrobe to include some smart dresses for work. Once other things are out of the way and I'm settled, I need to seriously sort out my clothing.
