This must be a generational difference, because I can't tell you the last time I've owned pantyhose. Just over Easter my mom was giving me a strange look because I had bare legs with my dress. I explained to her that no one wears stockings anymore, and everyone in my age group (I'll be 28 next week) agreed. Personally, I think dictating whether a person has to wear stockings or not is going a little too far. My company just updated their dress code, and there were quite a few complaints, I can't imagine if they told us we had to wear pantyhose too. There might have been an outright revolt.
