Bring back Stockings!

Bring back Stockings. Down with Tights!

Target:
To bring back the wearing of stockings
Sponsored by: 

Friday 19th October has been designated as 'National Stockings Day' in the UK.

Whilst we believe in freedom of choice, we believe that stockings are far more stylish, comfortable and healthy than tights. A whole generation of women are now unaware of the benefits the wearing stockings has.

Since tights became popular in the mid 1960s the divorce rate has risen and continues to rise. We believe in strong family values and feel it is important to ensure that women realise the importance of wearing stockings.

We feel that Great Britain is losing it's greatness. The slippery slope started in the mid 1960s with the invention of tights and continued downwards via horrors including the shell suit, the Juicy Couture style tracksuit and the low rise jean. The country needs a return to style, and what is more stylish than a seamed fully fashioned stocking?

We will be delivering this petition to 10 Downing Street at 10am on Thursday 18th October. I'm sure we'll brighten up  the day of the policemen on guard if nothing else!

I can remember when all women wore stockings as everyday wear, even older schoolgirls wore them. Tights are just boring, where's the interest? They go all the way up! Fortunately, my girlfriend, who is several years younger than me, with very long legs, wears them all the time, hooray!

Comfort-not being squished in the waist by tights. (Ugly) Hygiene- no double layer or poly sweat around crotch. Economy- run one leg, lost one leg, not two! Easy to carry a spare leg. Style- much more choice in style and color. Sex-tights turn off, stockings turn on. Feeling sexy matters. My favorite daily wear are holds-ups. Good quality last for years.

There are many reasons that I choose to wear stockings over tights... here are a few... a) As I'm sure most girls are aware (especially in warm weather climates) tights can become uncomfortable and due to the synthetic gusset of most tights they do not breath (I will leave the rest to imagination). b) Although the womans liberation movement did much for womens rights i feel that it can only take us so far. I, for one, veiw my femininity as empowering and do not wish to burn my bra or any other piece of underwear in the name of equality. Suspenders and lace and satin and seamed stockings give me a feeling of confidence i get from nothing else!

Stockings are a vital part to any womans correct dress! Since I started wearing stockings my self esteem has definately been boosted, and because I feel better about myself, so does my man! xxx

I think that stockings are way sexier than tights. I think it's sexy to the seam running up the back of my leg.

Wearing stockings is a far more sensual experience than wearing tights. Also there are few things sexier than flashing your stocking tops to someone you fancy.

Stockings are so much more glamourous, they make me feel sexy and feminine and with one of WKD's suspenders - they stay up perfectly all day! Its just difficult buying stockings in shops!!

tights are the most unfeminine garment known to women, and nothing beats a flash of stocking top for the men :)

It is important for Women to wear stockings to look sexy, tights are such a turn off. Have you seen a burglar's face when he has tights on his head.... imagine a womans beautiful bottom in that uurrgghh... The band between stocking and leg is so so seductive and sexy.
