Well, I tried bare legged recently. Hide your children is all I can say, these legs are terrible. Maybe if I got some sun on them.

Yes I like them and I'd like to be a little more contemporary in my style. I was very pleased with Kate Middleton for bringing them somewhat back in fashion. But basically I about have to wear them or pasty is the only word to describe anything below skirt down. But I really do prefer to wear them.

As far as being itchy. I hear that a lot. I read a kind of article by a cisgender woman once reviewing a bunch of brands talking about the percentage of material in them being related to the itchiness. I don't know if that's true. I do know once I got away from the brand I "grew up on" and tried two or three brands and started spending a little more (I do mean a little more, I don't get into the DKNY and Wolford's) now they fit better and they aren't itchy. And, a lower denier makes them cooler for summer.
