Kate Middleton brings back pantyhose. Bare legs are so 2010.

I appreciate Kates gesture and yes, how lovely she looks in nylon stockings, truly a lady that brings out the gentleman in me.

Up in New England, the warm days last week prompted many to let their legs back out, and I was pleasantly pleased to see more sheer hosiery this year. I hope the trend continues.

She should get Mrs. Obama a pair or 20 of pantyhose. Would be better than that crisco she spreads on her legs. EW. Anyways I get a million times more compliments in pantyhose than bare leg. Once I noticed this I started wearing hose more and feel more confident.

Personally, I didn't know panythose wasn't in style. I've always worn it (with the exception of summer time dresses and sandals), even as a teenager. When I was younger, and didn't like the tightness of full pantyhose, I wore thigh-highs.
Pantyhose is a classy accessory- I think a lot of females, regardless of their age, would benefit from using it. It hides flaws, increases circulation (which decreases vericose veins in the future!), flattens tummys, and just smooths out a look....you won't be 18 forever, and real men love a lady with class and style.

With all due respect to Mr. Gunn, I couldn't disagree more. Beautiful legs in beautiful hose are not anachronistic. They are elegant and classic.

I agree with Jacquline. I didn't even know pantyhose were out of style and for the most part, I've always found them comfortable. I personally admired Kate's light "shimmery" leg look; that would be nice for spring and summer type dresses. I can't imagine going bare legged in the winter months; I would literally freeze standing at the bus stop for 45 minutes in artic weather. Plus, my legs are pale, so a hint of color is nice. xo

He didn't say hosiery was out of style- just the sheer kind. I disagree with him. It makes your legs look very nice without having heavy material on your legs. Sometime TG is way off his mark.

This article is specifically referring to pantyhose. I think it shoud be more directed as hoseiry in general. Whether it is garter belt and nylons, stay up stockings or pantyhose is irregardless as they all accomplish the same goal of flattering a woman's legs. Style is merely a personal choice but in my opinion it is a necessary choice when your trying to look good.

I was a debutante in the late 80's, so I'm not ancient! We were taught that a lady always wears hosiery with business or formal wear. Bare legs and opened toed shoes were only for casual events. I was also taught how to be gracious, write a thank you note, carry on civil conversation, eat with the proper fork, and dance a fox trot. It seems that the uneducated Hollywood scene and worse, reality TV, dictate our manners and fashion - what a shame.

I didn't know they WEREN'T in style. If it's summer and a very casual look, sure, bare legs are fine. I rarely wear dresses or skirts, but when I do it's because it's a relatively dressy occasion, and then I can't imagine bare legs. They look better than bare uneven legs, and they help prevent blisters from the shoes. And as said below, they are indeed elegant and classic. I LOVE Kate's shimmery look.

I just don't understand who decided that pantyhose is out of style. I mean, I can't go anywhere outside during cold weather without covering up. I think it's ridiculous to go out in near freezing weather bareleg. I saw so many business women on the train with barelegs during snow and was wondering why would they suffer through risks of hypothermia for some fashion statement? It doesn't look great anyway, and whoever said "Pantyhose is so overrated" is a bad fashion adviser. I always look slimmer wearing it! Go Kate! Thank you for making our lives easier!

Tights or pantyhose should be worn during the cool to cold months of year, especially for the formal events. So, Kate is wearing it right. Plus I think it is very sexy. Leave bare legs to the summer.

when tim wears pantyhose on the red carpet- i will quit wearing mine

most women's legs are not as beautiful as they THINK they are ---pantyhose makes them look much better and sexier

Honestly, 99.9% of women have ugly BARE legs. Even the Hollywood A-listers. Hosiery is classy and definitely a PLUS to a woman in a skirt

Tim, we love you,but we're not holding our breath regarding your style dictates. Frankly, we think it's high time for a little modesty, and less bare skin!

I think they make her look hot!

Very Stylish and Classy ! (:

Gunn is a fool of the highest order. These fools who think THEY know what's cool and what isn't, just rips me. The Lady, always looks like a lady.........that's what she is.
Not a word, however, about those gunboat feet of Michelle Obama. She could water ski barefooted with the best of them. Built in snowshoes. Oh well, even the critics are afraid of her. She does bite, you know.

i wear pantie hose all the time for work. some have that sexy sheen to them and some guys like that look. my boyfriend loves the look and me wearing hose. i guess this tim gunn hates this look because he doesn't have a girlfriend to wear them for him.
