Outdoor Hose Report - Showing it More Black

The last work day of this week, hence I decided to have an early lunch outside and experiment more hosed leg exposure with these new shorts.

Slipped into the one and only pair of Funfit Seamless Pantyhose, Black, that I have been keeping for awhile, and matched off with Uniqlo women's Airism pile lounge shorts, navy, and Muji sneakers.  The hose took sometime to adjust as there are radial lines after putting them on; since it's black, any uneven of yarn due to improper wearing will be visible right away, so a little practice is needed.

Seamlessly Black - Ready to go.

Had a quick lunch at a moderately crowded coffeeshop nearby, took a short walk to hitch a bus to the town centre.  There were construction workers nearby and many of them walked past without noticing; and so does a couple of elderly women who were at the same bus stop as I was.

Black hosed and softly cuddled legs while waiting for bus.

The yarn looks paler in the daylight that in shelter, so it felt alright.  Being an even shorter pair of shorts, a little practice is needed to get used to the hosed and be seen set up with maximum hosed leg exposure.

Interesting radial lines - these are not patterned hosiery.

Upon reaching the destination, took my usual walk, past some couples, young and elderly women and no unusual stares were noticed, so I proceeded on to the world of books.  I had to pass a couple of beauty parlours and sort of shops, so there I went, passing by female workers in the shop while disregarding any possible stares.  As I reached the world of books, no seats were available in the quieter corners of the reading area, so I had to take the empty seat which was just visible upon reaching the entrance; it was also in a place where people could be seen walking around , like a junction in the facility.

No matter; used my laptop, with black hosed legs in full view of everyone till I had to get back for some errands after receiving news on my cellphone.  Packed my stuff, headed down the escalator (this was also another crowded area) and took to the monorail platform to get back.  Walked past oncoming pedestrians, without any noticable eyestares and soon, home James.

Hosiery Layering

No doubt it's one of the less practiced method of wearing hosiery, I have not had an outdoor experience with it, so I'll just write about how it felt.  This is a throwback post as I have done this experiment, probably 3 weeks ago so here it is.

Did some reading and figured out that before venturing into patterned hoisery, layering could be one way.  Wore pair of Miniso Pantyhose, 水, in Light Grey, which was layered over by Camilia Support Pantyhose, in Mint shade, so here's how it looks:

Layering: Camilia Support Pantyhose, in Mint shade over Miniso Pantyhose, 水, in Light Grey.

Layering gives this interesting swirl effect due to the interwining layers of yarn between 2 pairs of hosiery, however, it does felt a little warm at the panty area, so a better idea to curb this is to go with sheer to waists.

Shall try hosing out in this one day and see how it goes!

Outdoor Hose Report - Tanned Mint

Another short hoseout for this dinner outing with partner, to wrap up the weekend after all's needed are done.

I was considering between the Peavey Pantyhose, California, Suntan and Camilia Support Pantyhose, Mint shade, and settled for the latter since it'll be short being the night before a week's work begins.  Matched it off with Cotton On women's patch pocket shorts, reddish brown, and the Weinbreinner walking shoes, which too, are looking pretty done with all the extensive walks in it.

Took a bus instead as it has less walking time, had our meals and just got some stuff for the home before heading back.  The hose shade looked completely natural - one of the fine and thin-yarn range of hose which can only be found in certain stores.

Crossed Mints - Just before bedtime.

As the outing was pretty short and there wasn't ample space and time for hosed leg shots, here are some taken when I got home.  Kept them on as I was watching TV till it was bedtime:

Outdoor Hose Report - Shortly Softly Glossed

A short outing for a dinner date after I was done with errands in the grey Su.Soku Supports.

Quick wash up, changed into a pair of Propeds Sheer Supports, in Serbia shade, with Uniqlo women's relaco shorts, grey shade and boat shoes. The configuration is very much the same except for the top and hose.

Took a short walk to the nearby mall for a simple meal; as I sat down at the table waiting for our food, a man with his family beside our table, busy with his kids, seemed to have noticed my hosed legs and was noticably turning at my direction while we sat on the same, outer side of the tables.

Changed seats after awhile as his kids were making too much noise, and I maintained a sideways seat to keep a lookout for the order.  By this time, that family had been pretty occupied with dining so I no longer see him turning around.

Had our quick meal, a short walkaround and then back home.   Short moment out hence the hosedl leg shots had to be done at home.

The soft cast of sheen that takes place only under artificial light.

Outdoor Hose Report - Dark-swop

Some errands to run in the late afternoon, hence it was a good time to hose out.  The inital hoseout was the Propeds Sheer Support, Smoky Pearl shade, with Uniqlo women's relaco shorts, grey shade and boat shoes. 

However, after a short walk to the monorail, I found the shade too pale, hence, I took a short detour to switch over the Su.Soku Sheer Support pantyhose, in 825 (dark grey) shade, and continued the journey.

The metro was a faster and more direct journey, hence I managed to enter crowded cabins since it's a weekend.  Took the usual positions between cabinss and the non-opening door side since there wasn't much seats, and also in consideration of the transits.

Upon reaching my destination, walked through crowds, got my stuff done and took the bus route home.  As I reached the bus stop, I noticed a guy whose sight layed on my grey hosed legs as I walked past, and even when I took stand behind him, for the best visibility of oncoming buses, he went on to visual seek my hosed legs.  One of the most amusing, yet interesting.

I reckon he was staring at my hosed legs as I boarded the same bus, being in the front of the queue.

Home shot - Taken with a new camera.

Took a few transits, reached my hometown, regular walk, Home James.

Home shot - Rear legs' shot.  Soft and nice sheen.

Outdoor Hose Report - Tanning it Up

A short dinner meet up with partner after I was done with the black hoseout earlier in the day.

Decided to experiment a darker skintone shade against lighter shaded shorts; hence after washing up, slipped into a pair of Propeds Elegant All Sheers Support Pantyhose, Suntan shade, with Uniqlo women's relaco shorts, dark grey and a pair of Emblem walking shoes from Cotton on.  Legs felt a little tired from the walkout in the day, so these slightly stronger supports will do good.

Tanned steps out - Looking naturally nice.

The shade looks pretty alright and complimenting so far.  Took the regular walk to the monorail, and joining the less crowded platform as it was in the direction towards town centre before the peak hour season.  I had to transit to the metro as I was meeting partner in town area; the metro was decently packed yet I was able to get some seats, hence I took mine when crowds exited the cabin upon reaching their transit station.  Students, office ladies and other men were seated around me and were all occupied with their stuffs while I travelled towards my destination.

Matted up as I walked away from the afternoon sun.

Been getting used to these shorts, not just the length, but also the extreme comfort they give compared to the regular, rough and "lengthy" berms I used to wear.

Upon reaching the destination, had our meals, some casual walks and soon we made our way back.  No special glancing/stares by strangers on my hosed legs, so I guess they must've looked naturally nice.

Softly tanned in the metro.

Outdoor Hose Report - Blacking it On

Been waiting for this trade show where I can get myself a little reward.  Since it's beginning in the late morning, I got myself well-prepared for this trip and gonna go all out in blacks.

Slipped on a pair of Su.Soku Extra Support Pantyhose, Color 80 (Black), with Uniqlo women's relaco shorts, navy and Power Play On shoes; these shoes are pretty well done so it's about time.  The yarn seemed darker than most of the 20 denier hose I have worn so far, yet gives a good, solid enhancement, with support for the legs.  The first pair of sneakers from Muji didn't feel too comfortable, so I swopped to the former.

More black sheered legs exposed - shoes weren't that comfy, sadly.

Took a walk with regular pace, passed a few folks near the neighbourhood, made a crossing to the bus stop I have to transit by; this trip is 3 bus' worth so it'll give me good ample "exposure" at the bus stops, and the potentially crowded exhibition hall later.

The bus ride was quite jiffy, and I had to transit by walking to another bus stop which is nearby as identical bus services serves different routes, hence I made a short walk, passing by waiting passengers from the alighting stop, to the waiting stop.  Throughout this walk, I noticed everyone was either preoccupied with waiting for buses, or fiddling with their smartphones so no one seemed to bother much.  Even so at the next bus stop; probably because I was also standing in the corner of the sheltered area as it was a sweltering hour of the day; maybe someone from the back is staring, but heck it.

More black sheered legs exposed - Much more comfy walking!

Sweltering hot even under the shade - Looking pretty dark.

Upon reaching the trade show destination, I had to take a short walk, crossing the parking area, passed some on coming patrons at the show exiting, and finally reached the exhibition area.  Found the booth where I wanted to get what I wanted, got it, paid and left.  As I was walking to the collection point, I was approached by a lady who was promoting some credit cards but I turned her down as usual; and then by another lady who offered complimentary coffee for patrons at the show, but I too, declined as I wanted to get back home.

Black in the bus.  Much more cooler and comfortable here.

Passed a few exhibitor staffs (mostly guys) who were either stationed in their booths without customers, and took my exit out.  Took the overhead bridge to start transiting buses back home.  Even along the transit bus stops home, no one bothered much so it was pretty good.  After about an hour's journey,  walked to my place, and home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Grey-sporty

There's an anniversary sale going on in a local departmental store, so it's a good time for me grab a couple more of the Sarah Borghi Trendy 40 pantyhose that I first and enjoyably experienced wearing sometime back.

Since I'm done with things for the day, I decided to head out after dinner for a grab-and-go trip.  Slipped into a pair of Propeds Sheer Support Pantyhose, Smoky Pearl shade, with Cotton On women's sporty shorts, Sage, and Emblem walking shoes.

Silvery hosed and ready to set off.

Took a regular walk to the bus stop; the hosed legs look a little glossy in the evening with a silvery hint, yet flattering as it's a warmer shade as compared toe the VOLA's grey shade.  Transited via the regular bus routes which was quite jiffy and reached the shopping mall.  No special sightings despite the shorts being much shorter than some of the women's shorts I've worn, yet still looking neutral.

I took time to rummage through the hosiery section, unfortunately I wasn't able to find all my purchase in the size I wanted, so I settled for TG3 and 4 (former being my perfect size) in Sabbia and Duna shades respectively.

Silvery soft in the bus - heading to the mall.

 After I was done, made my way back.  The hosed legs appear pretty natural even under electrical light - grey's a tricky shade and can deviate visually under electrical light, but not this shade, which is a good thing.

Took a short walk after all the transits, home James with the new hosiery.

Outdoor Hose Report - Midnight Townwalk

Since I discovered the comfort of the Sarah Borghi Trendy 40s, I decided to go on a futher journey today - into the busy shopping district.

Slipped into a pair of Propeds Elegant All Sheers, Midnight shade, along with Cotton On women's Farrah shorts, Black, and Power Play-On shoes.  Took the metro, and reached this place by early afternoon.  As I took the monorail and subway, the folks were also usually occupied with their own stuff; walked through the crowded areas, crossed the busy, bright sun-lit street to the store which carries these, and it was a pretty small range.  There were staff working there but none of them approached to offer assistance, which is alright, as I knew what I wanted.

The shade of this hose is less tricky as compared to greys, though it can look a little light through my phone's camera.

Midnight sheered legs ready to set off.

I took an alterative route home after the extensive walk, by transiting to a direct bus at another metro station.  As I was queuing up for the bus at the terminal, a woman in black hose queued right after me and sat in the waiting bay just beside me.  Caught her glancing at my hosed legs and off her eyes went to check out the bus arrival.  I was not nervous, but glad that it was noticed in some ways.


After a short ride, I've reached my hometown.  Walked through the estate, home James.

A hint of sheen in the bus.

Outdoor Hose Report - Shining it More

Meeting my partner this evening for dinner; as she's still not comfortable with me hosing out in offskin shades, I made a quick change after deciding on what I wanted to do for the evening.

Checked through and decided to stay on the "sexier" look by keeping more hosed legs exposed, since I've just had the weekly maintenance done.  Hence I opted for the Lohas All Through Type, Sheer To Waist pantyhose, a Taiwanese made hose, coupled with the blue-striped Farrah shorts from Cotton On women's range, which, is perfect for this warm weather, along with a Emblem walking shoes.

Lohas All Through Type in Color 5.  Slightly glossy yet flattering.
Taken while heading out.

Walked through crowds and took the monorail to town centre, with crowds who were not bothered the least with my attire, and made it to my destination.  As this pair of shorts are relatively short and airy, the airconditioned mall made the leg area much more cooling than it is, but still better than having them all cooped up.

Out in the streets.  Legs are hair free and nicely hosed.

After dinner, took a walk to commute back via bus.  My partner commented that these shorts seemed more suitable for home wear due to it's length, while I explained I wore it a little higher than usual, hence it looked shorter than it should be.  While she's unaware these are in the women's range, that doesn't matter, since comfort was what I went for.


Took a short walk back after reaching our neighbourhood, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Skinning it 40

The long awaited hose out for this pantyhose is finally ready.  Since I've got the Farrah shorts' waistband fixed, and being a sunny day, this is a good day to hose out in these more luxurious pantyhose; the Sarah Borghi Trendy 40 Linen Comfort Sheer to Waist support pantyhose.

Though the packaging mentioned it's 40 denier, the appearance doesn't as it's seeming too thin; but upon slipping it on, it definitely felt different compared to the regular 20ds I've been doing all these while.  The yarn's somewhat tougher, yet still comfortable on the skin, and there is a bit of support that can be felt, though much lesser than the Astigu 壓 series.

Out in the bus stop on the higher seat.

The blue striped Farrah shorts definitely goes well with this shade, as it's flattering, yet giving more coverage to blemishes of hyperpigmentation I have left around my legs.  Matched off with that pair of Emblem shoes from Cotton On that I got at a deal.

Since there's still ample time for me prior to meeting partner for dinner, I decided to head to a mall in the northern side, to see if I can grab a couple more of these awesome hose after I liked the comfort of them.  Walked to the bus stop in broad daylight with these short, shorts, waited for my bus, seated on the higher seat and boarded my transiting bus.  Managed to take the transiting bus after I reached the bus stop.  Though I didn't realise it was a longer journeyed trip, the ride gave me ample time to just relax in the afternoon ride.

Crossed and hose in 40ds.  Great comfort for these hose and being out in it.

Slightly softer look - Taken using a point and shoot camera before heading out.

Glossy yet flattering - Taken using a point and shoot camera while walking.

While I was seated, I notice a guy who was seated in the facing direction, taking a look at my hosed legs.  It didn't bother me, as my objective was to hose out and have them seen, yet tastefully done with this colour.  Reached my destination, checked out the Cotton On outlet to see if I can grab more of these nice shorts for a deal, but there weren't any in the marked down range, so I headed for the hosiery section in the store I first got this pair.

Rummaged through every pair of the limited range in the shelving; it's either too small or too large sizes, or nothing in the shade I wanted, so I left, fruitless, and made it back in time for dinner.  While transiting at the bus stop, everyone was just busy making their way back from work, so I guess it wasn't noticed much, but no matter.

Alighted at my bus stop, took a walk with the 40ds legs in full view of those in the next bus and all other pedestrians around, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Shortening it Black

Since the recent pickups of a few women's summer shorts from Cotton On, I've become more confident and starting to get used to hosing out in offskin shades.  So that's what I'm gonna do today.

Considering the length of these shorts being much shorter than men's range, it's time to tap on the sheer to waist hose again.  And I've just realised that in my active black hose, none of them are sheer to waist, except for the Funfit Seamless.  Since I have a few lying around, it's a good time to just get them off the pack, and wear them directly.

I recall Funfit's yarns are a little delicate, so I made sure that proper care is done on the feet and hands so as to preserve the longevity, since it's a "direct pack to wear" measure this time.

Ready to Black-Hose Go.

Today's slipon for hoseout is the Funfit Nude Sheer to Waist Support pantyhose, Black, which , though are sheer to waists, do have a very faint panty-leg joint which still works well with these black Farrah shorts.   Took it out with my escooter to a nearby park for some hobby activities.  Zipped past a construction site and none of the workers paid attention to my black hosed legs in broad daylight.  And while in the park, I saw other users but none of them took notice of it.  No matter.

Black and Green in the park.

Though it's a cloudy day, it's still hot, and I get mosquito attacks for awhile till I decided that the attacks were enough and I quickly headed back to bath those legs, and get medication on to prevent infection or any scarring.  Quite a short hoseout, but I do enjoy it pretty much for the first part.

There's still sometime before dinner; so after a washup, I slipped into these black Farrah shorts and the same black hose again, headed out to the metro in these, to a mall at nearby town; it was just a stop away, against the direction which was crowded, so the cabin was rather empty when I entered.  Took my seat and soon reached the mall where I picked up a couple of tops which were on sale, and headed back; the black hosed legs remained in full view of all when I walked.  As I passed through the gantry on the boarding station, I noticed a schoolgirl glancing at my hosed legs as she was exiting the station and that was about it.

Black Crossed in the metro.

Took the regular walk back, passing pedestrians and home James.
