I guess I'm a little oldfashoned some things die hard, but at over 50 I think I am entitled, lol
I cannot understand why or HOW women cannot wear some type nylons, especially for church, I ALWAYS wear them as part of my normal grooming when preparing to attend church service, I don't believe in THAT casual for church svc; I think its a bit too 'sensual' for women to bear their ankles (yes old fashioned I know I know) plus I think they look ODD., no one has THAT perfect legs, and if they do they should be reserved for husband only ( especially IF married) ; I've seen pastors wives wear sandals only in summer, I consider it improper and not a good testimony for the younger new convert sisters; I don't see what the deal is about hosiery being "hot" I live in the most humid weather and most everything bothers me, except for pantyhose., in fact I feel better like I am properly dressed wearing them, with dresses or skirts and close toed shoes.
I never wear open toed., for more than one reason. All this is strictly my opinion and convictions.
Okay will sit here and shield my body from flying tomatoes now.

Can you define "came down hard"? Just curious as to the reasons....
I mean, if you have a lot of women who don't shave their legs...but then, pantyhose doesn't really help with that unless you're wearing opaque...
Maybe that sounded to harsh. He just said from the pulpit that no woman should come to church with bare legs. Ever. And then he repeated this quite a few times through various services for about 3 months. I know, it surprised me too, but my mother didn't comiserate with me. She is old school and chewed me out for not wearing nylons in the first place. "A lady is not fully dressed unless she has nylons on." I personally, believe them to be an instrument of torture and hate them with a passion.
My husband thinks nylons are more immodest than not wearing them because they make a woman's leg look better than it is - smoother, prettier, more attractive. Just his take on the situation, and an interesting one at that.

over[/I] sheer black pantyhose sounds interesting...would probably look great casual, with some boots...still not sure about for church, though...even as a second layer.
I agree with you here. At one point in my married life, I thought fishnets were kind of cute, and my husband was horrified. He told me exactly what image they portray of the women who wear them. That took care of that for me! Sometimes a man's opinion gives you a different viewpoint to consider.
I HATE panty hose but in our church you have to have them on when on the platform... that is really the only rule I disagree with! LOl! But.....in the winter I usually wear knee boots with just about everything and if it is really cold I will wear tights too. If I have to wear panty hose I wear really really sheer ones that look natural but they do not keep you warm at all! So, if you want warmth get some long skirts, some knee boots or some tights!!

I used to wear them all the time, nothing too crazy looking, but now that we are in the ministry I am so careful of what I wear that I haven't wore them for quite a while! Plus I don't really think they are in much now as they were a few years ago. Leggins are in BIG time and they are cute if you are skinny! Lol! That's is another thought!

mine thinks the same way! i told him i was thinking of getting some and he was like "um...NO" and told me what i would look like he also doesn't want me to wear those stiletto's that criss cross up your ankle a little. we have some girls at church that wear them and he says they are way too racy looking.

no tomatoes here sister but i am sooooo glad our church doesn't have any platform standards other than being decent looking. i guess it's b/c i wasn't raised in this but i just don't get it...what in the world do rules about pantyhose and different shoes have to do with worshipping God? i guess it's all in what your used to but i say the Lord could care less how we're dressed as long as we are modest and not sloppy looking. just my 2 cents... ps. now i'm wondering what some of the older ladies say about me...

Totally agree with you there... Men see things completely differently than women.. and they're the ones we have to be careful not to cause temptation.
I'm a white girl (and I mean white.. I tan like a lobster) from the north, so in the winters I wear tights or pantyhose... and in the summer I tend to wear longer skirts because I've always been insecure of my white legs... I'm coming around though... I've been married 10 years and I realize he likes my white legs so I don't care what anyone else thinks of them.

i totally respect that but i think it all depends on the culture u were brought up in. my generation simply wasn't raised to think that way. i just don't want people to think that i am not a lady for not wearing them, you know?
