It still allow in the UK to wear anything - no illegal, maybe depend on country, I was wear tights and denim mini skirt that seem to be allow in public Ive wearing many time as cops passing me without stop or ask anything
~ Doug ~
In the US it's illegal to be dressed indecently, but not illegal to crossdress. Also, where would you draw the line? Some people might claim that all the boys wearing girls skinny jeans are crossdressing.
~ Rod ~
is it legal to crossdress when outside as a female
~ Andy M ~
epilators have been suggested. I've just bought a Braun and done my first epilate session. So far so good, but still a long way from hair free legs (which are essential for any tights wearing!!!)
~ Adrian ~
With winter on the way I shall be cutting down on heating bills by wearing opaque tights with a wool kilt.
~ 2craze2 ~
@badleg: Try Elbeo Sheer Magic or Elbeo Caresse. Size XL is available. They really do help...
~ 2craze2 ~
Ordered some tights from Emilio Cavallini, they're great! Good stretch, warm, opaque. Good replacement for my regular sock-wearing.

About me - I

Geradenby Geraden

 

I am known as Geraden. And I am a man who enjoys wearing tights.

I have already posted here the story of how I started wearing. I am going to bring the story up to date over a series of entries.

Geraden in black

There are some things that I wish I did not have to say. Unfortunately, because of the assumptions that people tend to make, I must explain that:

  • I do not dress as a woman.
  • I do not try to look like a woman. (if you look at my photo you may chuckle at the thought!)
  • I have no desire to be a woman.
  • I do not have homosexual inclinations
  • Tights are not a fetish for me.

so why wear them?

  • Tights are comfortable and give warmth without bulk.
  • Tights energise legs and prevent aches and cramps
  • Tights enhance the way legs look and feel.
  • Tights protect against irritation from wool in clothing
  • Tights protect against biting insects

So what do you want to know?

Name : Geraden - of course I have another name, but Geraden will do for now. Why Geraden?

Just found your site and a very interesting read. I am 60, male , and have been wearing tights for comfort and warmth for many years. The trouble is there are lots of fetish sites about guys in hose and I think that is why we all get tarred with the same brush! but as an alternative to long johns, they are brilliant! Although, personally I would not wear tights with shorts, NOT because I think there is anything wrong with that, just that if I am warm enought for shorts, then I don't need tights. I will say that my legs would look better if I did, more shape and definition. Keep up the good work!

Hi Tim

Thanks for visiting and commenting.

I cannot understand why anyone wears long johns any more, especially the itchy woolly ones. Tights are so much better!

LONG JOHNS ARE PANTS!

Hi Lizandro

Greetings to you too, and to other tights wearers in Mexico.

You are very lucky if you can afford to buy Wolford and Oroblu at your age!

Saludos

I don't wear pantyhose or stockings as a fetish, but I'll have to admit they feel so sexy.

Just found your site and I am glad to see others of a like mind.

I started wearing tights because of my eczema, my wife suggested it might help me stop scratching my legs, and it has - they work fantastically.

But I have since noticed that tights make sense as a basic garment of clothing in so many ways - they are comfortable, warming, protect from woolen trousers etc.

I hope it becomes a more socially acceptable garment of clothing for men as it makes so much sense.

Cheers, Steve

Hi Steve

Glad you like the site. I have never heard of that reason for wearing tights, but if it works, why not?

But have you noticed that girls who are wearing tights stroke their legs much more (and even scratch them lightly) than girls who have bare legs? Same applies to me, too!

Do come back often.

I had a few extra minutes to read your site today, and noticed on this entry that you say that tights (hoisery) will protect against insect bites. I was thinking of wearing hoisery this spring/summer while hiking to prevent tick bites. I thought that even if they do bite, the tick will come off when you take off the hose.

Just looked back in here and read Steve's comment about ezema, or however it is spelt! ( sorry) What Steve says is true, I get small patches of it on my legs Tights put a layer between my legs and my trousers, so they don't rub my ezma as I walk

hello Geraden,

  • I've came across your page through google, and read almost each blog. it's very interesting and surprising that there are other men that like the comfort of tight/pantyhose. In my mind i thought there were only a few but, it makes me alot more comfortable about wearing them my self. At first i thought it was some time of fetish, so i was kinda freaking out at first, but after while they just starting to feel normal, but i was still scared that i might just be a few of men that enjoyed them... so thanks for creating this blog page, and i have a few questions to ask my email is coldnylon@hotmail.com thanks.

I was worried at first when my fiance told me that he wore pantyhose under his uniform. And then I realized all the times that I run up and down the stairs carrying laundry and put myself in his pants when he has to carry things back and forth from his truck. I started to wear my pantyhose not just for work, but while doing chores. WOW! What a difference. I went out a bought my man some more stockings and me some boudoir-style, and then suggested a girdle when he hurt his hip. We were back to normal activities in less time than doctors say for a bruised hip. Now, I wear his T-shirts and sometimes his pants. Hurray for progression!

Cool picture you got it with black tights - do you wear short or skirt?? yes it not about wear as women - it just we like to wear to feel good, protect against bugs that bit my legs as there some red spots that why i wear to keep the bug away also help my leg from muscle waste. I have lots pairs of black tights cos i love it to wear as it feel so goooooood :)

I have some good tights from: http://www.gipsytights.co.uk/84/?form_13 .userid=2&form_13.replyids=28 and my favour are: http://www. gipsytights.co.uk/83/?form_13.replyids=,28,&form_16.replyids=168 also http://www.gipsytights.co.uk/83/?form_13.replyids=,28,&form_16.re plyids=80 + http://www.gipsytights.co.uk/83/?form_13.replyids =,28,&form_16.replyids=67 but the 100 denier seem good so strong, it feel so good to wear that Im wearing just now with black denim mini skirt and black suede calf boots that just normal clothes... it look nice when I look at the mirror - I would say it prefect for men to wear tights with shorts or skirts (any length - i usual like mini skirt). :)

Martin Thanks for your comment. It is true that the picture is unclear as to what I am wearing over my tights. It does look a bit like a skirt, but in fact I am wearing a pair of shorts. I do not wear skirts: I have no objection in principle, but it is hard enough (i.e. bordering on impossible) to get toleration for wearing tights and shorts, so a skirt would definitely be a step too far.

Thanks -- yes have to be careful if wear skirt but no law against men wearing skirt or anything it still can allow to wear with tights - it nice when air flow through the body. your webiste still much excellent that I like to see all this... it so cool, I have shorts and skirts so it depend when wear to look nice that same as normal clothes. :)

it doesnet matter which one you wear with tights - either shorts or skirt - shorts are 2 legs and skirt is one legs so both still cool with any type of tights -- I used tights all time cos it so goooood to feel and wear skirt. :)
