I think one of the biggest problems is that American pantyhose have often limited themselves to one or two shades that don’t seem to match any skin type. My secret has been that I always buy European brands. It’s not as expensive as you would think but the quality, feel, comfort, and color options are by far superior than what exist in the corner drugstore. Kate Middleton, like many women in the UK and Europe have the option of many brands that meet their personal preferences. I believe that women who chose to give pantyhose another shot should consider looking at the options for hosiery outside the US.

In the end I have always been an advocate of personal style and comfort. I feel confident that with the pantyhose I wear, I have been able to achieve both those goals.
