Many places allowed pants, it's just that if you chose to wear a skirt or dress you HAD to wear pantyhose, bare legs weren't allowed. Wearing pants required wearing socks or knee high hosiery, again no bare legs, even if only a few inches at the ankle were showing. Because of our dress code I had to get a doctor's note when I needed to go bare legged for a short while due to medical issues.

So happy I've always just had my scrubs for work.........but that's why I love fashion so much outside of it.........because there isn't any at my job....

Exactly.

Marshall Field's was an upscale department store based in Chicago.

I'm old and old-school. I hardly ever wear skirts or dresses now, but I wouldn't dream of going bare-legged when I do wear skirts or dresses (unless they are long enough to cover longer boots) -- except for casual sundresses, of course. Plus darker-colored panty hose disguises heavy legs to at least some extent, imo.

Macy's bought them out. It was sad to see such a Chicago icon disappear.

Macys also bought I Magnin, Robinson's, Lazarus...all stores I remember.

I went to buy some warm leggings for the winter recently at one of the chain drug stores and they did have pantyhose for sale. I haven't worn a dress in cold weather for many years but if I did I probably would want to wear a pair of pantyhose with the dress if I was going to a formal occasion and the dress didn't reach below my knees.

It's true. Everyone these days is focussed on themselves and assume their beliefs or opinions are universal.

While one may hate PH, there are many girls and women who love them:

Pantyhose really isn't a thing about fashion IMO...it's an undergarment...& still is ofc... to cover up imperfections on the leg........& they have like control top stuff if you want. Ita that lots of ladies still use & like them ofc.................

I've tried the spray on nylons.........like Nyce & Sally Hansen....

edit: IMO only it's a better option but I love tights with skirts too...to stay warm
