Although "Casual Fridays" are slowly - and thankfully - retiring from the corporate world
many women continue to go to the office or an evening out barelegged. Dresses and stilettos may still be in vogue
but where is the legwear? As a career woman who considers tights
stockings
pantyhose
and their cousins de rigueur
I want to take this opportunity to sing the praises of legwear.

I know that some women argue that legwear is as constricting for women as neckties are for men
but I find it liberating. What I wear on my legs is an extension of the clothes
shoes
and accessories I choose to wear. Just as I wouldn't want to go to work without my make-up
I wouldn't dream of going to work with bare legs.

The sheer variety of women's legwear that is available is enough to blow your socks off (no pun intended). There's something out there for every mood and every occasion. If you're in doubt
simply peruse one of the online stores that is dedicated to providing women with high quality products. When you do
here's what you'll find:

Tights: Today's tights come in an incredible variety of fabrications
from warm wools to velvety cottons to silky microfiber blends. You can find fashion tights in dozens of colors and prints that can complement every outfit in your closet. Whether you want to ward off a winter chill or show some spunk in the summer
tights are a wonderful way to express your fashion sense and your sense of style.

Pantyhose: There's little question that pantyhose put the finishing touches on any outfit. From ultra-sheer to opaque
from neutral colors to brazen hues
from industrial reinforced toes to shimmery gossamer
pantyhose can reflect your mood
your apparel
or your aspirations.

Thigh-Highs: If you love the silky feeling of hose against your legs but don't want to bother with either garters or the panties in pantyhose
holdups are exactly what you need. Whether you choose wide lace bands or soft silicone tops that lay flat against your skin
thigh-highs will never let you down.

Stockings: The allure of stockings is legendary
not only for the men they attract but for the feelings that women have when they wear them. Stockings and garters are the ultimate in femininity
but when you go one step further and choose a silk stocking
you'll never go back. Wearing stockings is like being privy to an inside joke.... No one else need know you're wearing them
but they will bring a smile to your face all day long.

Bodystockings: Some women would never dream of buying bodystockings
but that's likely because they've never worn them. Granted
they may not be appropriate for every occasion
but like stockings
they will make you feel both chic and sexy.

When there are so many options available to complete your outfits and make you feel good all under
leaving your legs bare is a crying shame.
