Are Pantyhose a Thing of the Past? by DDHG Beauty Team

Does anyone still wear pantyhose these days? Are they essential for the middle-aged set or a fun fashion statement for younger generations? Before you answer that, let's take a look at the evolution of pantyhose.

Created by a man named Allen Gant Senior in 1959, pantyhose of all colors and textures soon became an American fashion staple. Whether at work or play, women wore them just about every day in place of girdles and other foundation garments.

Today, black tights, a thicker, non-sheer version of pantyhose, are being paired with short dresses for a "mod" look. What do you think of pantyhose? Love 'em or leave 'em?
