I'm from Poland and can confirm, hosiery and heels are still in the game..........But even nowadays it's still not so bad, you can see plenty of women who enjoy waring hose on the regular basis, when it's not required by a dress code. It warms my heart especially when I see teenage girls wearing them - it means young people are not completly spoiled by trends from West
Speaking of which - unfortunately (I mean in this particular case, no offence
), american culture has a huge impact of global trends, icluding fashion. This impact can be seen especially in our TV. While in the news etc. presenters tend to dress formal, in case of other, less serious shows pantyhose are almost completly gone.
I used to think this way about a decade ago. I’m afraid to say that items like hosiery may never fully recover. Women, in general, moved away from hosiery over 20 years ago. I see nothing indicating a fashion comeback for hosiery anytime soon.paradigm88 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 1:51 pm I like to think things will come around. There's always an appeal to class. It's just a matter of when and how the pendulum swings back.
Honestly, I'd have blamed supply-chain issues, but it wasn't a matter of empty shelves as much as the shelves and displays are gone altogether, maybe in storage. Compare that to, say, Target, where they have the displays but they've been populated with extra leggings and athletic socks, or left vacant waiting for more tights to come in.
I live in a major east coast city and if I take a trip downtown I might see 20 women in hose( with boots or dippable shoes) in a four hour stay. Of course they are the professional crowd. Too bad no shoeplay seems like people don't hang around and keep it moving because of Corona. At this point I will take those numbers
That would be a welcome return. I don't know that they've ever left—I feel like the majority of flats are ballet-inspired—but some creativity would be a nice touch.
Dredging this up because I didn't compose an honest answer to it...but I've honestly largely given up.
