Miniskirt and pantyhose

Miniskirts appeared in the early sixties and soon became popular, at least for the younger generation who felt able to wear them.

It was presumably necessary to wear tights rather stockings for mini-skirts so the change to tights continued in parallel with fashion changes.

As with many fashions, more mature women tended to stick with what they knew rather than adopting new fashions.

Depending on the time and occasion, miniskirts go best with black pantyhose or even nude, although some adventurous women wear them with white pantyhose and look great.
