Do any manufacturers make summer weight pantyhose? I'm one of those rare birds who refuses to go bare legged and don't want to mess with tanning lotions--thigh highs end up around my knees

I don't know where you live but I love the Pantyhose from Dress Barn you can usually get 3 pairs for 10 dollars they wear nice and you can usually get a few wears out of them before you have to throw them out

Thank you. Will see if Dress Barn has a website, too. Glad to hear someone else still wears pantyhose!

Ok I should probably just not post this, but I haven't worn hosiery in ages. When I did, I always wore stockings with garters, instead of pantyhose, and I opted for vintage stockings, in my experience they were much more sheer, more lightweight, and thus way more cool than modern options.

Sorry if that's not too helpful.

By any chance would the flesh tone fishnet/crochet type stockings work? I wear them quite often in the summer, they let my skin breathe and also keep my thighs from sticking together when it's humid.

Like these or these.

I swear by them in the summer. If you find a color that blends enough with your skin tone, it can look pretty classy and polished. Nordstrom usually has a good selection, and I'm also seen them at Target.

That's an excellent idea! Going to go look fir some. I HATE the feeling of dress shoes with no hose.

I forgot all about those fishnets, they are comfy!

If it is just the feeling of bare feet that bugs you though, you might try some of these;

Amazon.com: SHEEC - SoleHugger SECRET - Cotton Hidden No-Show Socks *Non-Slip* (in 2 Colors): Clothing

I got mine at my local grocery store of all places and I love them. It depends on the shoe style of course but they work well with a lot of my flats and heels. They come in hosiery nylon fabric, lace, nylon blends, or thin cotton/spandex. I prefer the thin cotton. The only problem with them is because they are tiny, I lose them in the wash, a LOT. I should get a lingerie bag I guess.

It doesn't help that my legs are fish-belly white. I like a little color so I don't look dead.
