Fully fashioned nylons with courts (pumps) RHT's look good with mules too.

I never worn a pair of mules with nylons before? Do they slip?

What height do think you think I should start at?

regards

Well girls , I dont wear mules but I wear sexy sandals with nice cubanhose. Check those pictures what I'm talking about.

Those are 5" heels, I hope you like them. I love them so much and easy to walk.

Hita Debbie,

As you know I too love wearing Fully Fashioned stockings with stiletto heels.

I have occasionally worn them to work, but I usually wear them when going out to a trendy wine bar or a night out with my girlie friends.

I usually team them with a pair of 5½" mules or sandals as this really shows off the heel to the fullest effect

I quite agree about what you said about using cotton gloves to pull on FF hosiery. As a lttle shaver growing up in our household---many a times I observed my Mom putting on her hose with cotton gloves and to this day I still use that little trick when putting on my pantyhose each morning.

Your statement of men looking good in hose and heels has merit also. There are a few men in this forum that can hold their own along with the women when dressed in hose and heels, and we have all seen the results in pics and web-sites here. And that is my HO along with yours, Jeff.

I sometimes look through old threads and found this one. It looked interesting partly because I've just bought some cuban heeled stockings and can't make up my mind if I prefer them to point heels. My feeling is that point heels look better with stilettos and cuban with slightly thicker heels but I should be glad of any opinions.

Then there is the skirt/trouser debate. Generally I prefer skirts or dresses for smart wear though I have a couple of very smart pairs of trousers and a trouser suit. I always keep my legs waxed regardless, I would feel ungroomed otherwise. I have several pairs of leather trousers which are better for more casual wear, but nearly always with heels. There was a time when I kept my lower, 4" or 41/2", heels to wear with trousers, but in recent years I've been wearing 51/2" or 6" with trousers as well as skirts, and I like the trousers to be short enough to show most of the heel. I also have slightly cropped, fitted, summer trousers which look good with 5" mules - well I think they do anyway! I don't see the need to wear trousers in cold weather, I often wear shorter skirts in winter than in summer, but when it's cold I wear opaque stockings, which are just as warm as trousers.

As for leather skirts, I have a huge collection, over forty I think, at the last count, mostly real leather, and some imitation or p.v.c. Some have matching jackets, so I wear leather suits a lot, and they vary in colour, texture (croc, snake, 'distressed'), length (ankle-length for a few but mostly above the knee and 'indecent exposure'!) and shape (mostly tight, particularly the stretch p.v.c., a few straight and three or four short A-line).

My favourite stockings so far are Gio chocolate ff's with point heel, they look fabulous with the highest black courts.

hi how vintage nylon stockings differs from today's hose in general

High 10:-)

I wore stockings for many years but when panty-hose became popular I switched over to them and have been wearing them ever since. So I can't give you the answers to your question, but I'm sure that someone here can. Let me be one of the first to welcome you to the High Heel Forum and hope you will enjoy posting here as much as a lot of the other members do. Cheers--

I have to admit that I love the look of stockings and heels when worn togethter because I think that they bout compliment each other! There isn't a better look! if you talking about vintage full fashioned back seamed stockings, they are best worn with skirts & dresses, more modern hose would be best suited for pants,slacks, jeans and leggings.
