A time of review after couple of outdoor hosed experiences:
The Nude tone of my current favourite Propeds Elegant Sheers Support pantyhose appears to be paler against my skin tone, under white light than when I sampled it at a store (although it looked pretty close to my skintone). This article is useful in choosing the right shade

Looks like it's time to select a darker shade which will be closer to my skintone. No doubt no one noticed my hosed legs, or that I know of, a darker shade will be much better since it'll be more natural yet enhancing.
I will be doing some pantyhose brands review soon so do keep reading.

Forwarding it Silkily
I decided to write this as for the minor wearer community in a small country as such.
Most of the society feels that pantyhose is something which should only be worn by the female counterparts of the society. However, men in tights (before the evolution of pantyhose) date way back to the medieval times, where it was part of attire as a norm.
However, as time goes by, for some reasons, it was slowly phased out from the male population till it became an ancient artifact. Since then, nothing has been mentioned about this attire.
It was only when the pantyhose was invented, the “attireship” started to see a return, interestingly, female wearer population dipped while male wearers increased.

Big Sale Hose Shopping
Dropped by Tampines to transit home after a business meeting and visited
Isetan. The skin tone of the Su.Soku pantyhose I wanted was stocked
out, probably due to sale and overdemand vs supply. There were 2 young
salesgirls close behind me as they were manning a booth nearby the
hosiery area but they didn't bother about me. Left since I couldn't
find what I needed.
Wandered into Century Square and saw BHG with bright sale banners with controlled entrance and exits; looks like a major discount event. Off I headed straight to the hosiery section; less accessible now as they have stuffed some racks closer in to allow more queuing space. Took my own time rummaging through the entire rack of various pantyhose, used the sample hose to find a suitable skintone. There were female staffs, female customers moving up and down but they weren't bothered by me;probably they were all too busy.
Looked through the various pantyhose a final round after spending about 30mins there before I went to pay and continued my way home. The receipt stated this was a one day bazaar but I'm sure there'll be another chance to return and get the colors and brands I want.
Visual skimmed Sinma's hosiery rack as I passed but nothing interesting.
Another good hose shopping experience (HSE).

Revisited and Found
Early out today so l decided to do some pantyhose shopping alsoo to
replace the torn pair I'm wearing. This should be the Guardian house
brand support hose that had served me well for more than 20 wears. I
needed a pair as wearing torn pantyhose felt like wearing torn pants.
First stop: Robinson City Hall; found the mini hosiery section on th 2nd floor near the lingerie section, but couldn't find what I want. Left in less than 5mins after a quick browse.
Went to Centrepoint Metro but couldn't find the hosiery section so I decided to move on to OG. Took a quick look at the hosiery section which can easily be located from the entrance, couldn't find what I want and decided to leave. The middleaged saleslady spotted me leaving, was helpful and asked if I was looking for stockings. I answered, yes but can't find the brand I want. She replied that this is the only brand they carry and i may like to try other departmental stores. Thanked her and moved on.
Took me awhile to locate the hosiery section when I arrived at Taka; a previous mission here wasn't successful as I walked all the floors but yet couldn't locate it, especially after they revamped the layout. So it's wedged right in the corner of the lingerie section. It's a decent treasure as I could see quality brands including Falke, and some range which couldn't be found in other stores.
Took my time to shop while the PRC salesgirls chatted among themselves, completely oblivious to my presence.
Got what I needed, paid at cashier (the auntie was very polite and didn't give me a weird look) and went to Gents to replace torn hose. Walked off in a comfortable pair of Peach Propeds Elegant Sheer Support pantyhose.

Outdoor Hose Report - 1/2 day Public Hose Exposure
Went to a departmental store after a busy day and bought Propeds Nude tone pantyhose. Got in it at the toilet and walked out bravely; no one
was looking at my hosed legs and took a bus to school after walking
about 10mins to a bus stop (to gain public exposure confidence). Stood
at front of the bus stop nearest to approaching end after walking past a
few ladies who didn't notice my hosed legs.
I was a little nervous so I tried standing at less crowded places whenever I can.
Went straight to the library as I have some time before classes. At the traffic lights to school, still feeling a little nervous while waiting for green light but kept my composure. I noticed there were a couple who noticed my hosed legs as I crossed the junction, but I walked on.
Reached classes soon as it began, took the front row seat in a small classroom; went through the lesson normally and left quickly once it ended; as I was a little tired. Boarded a crowded bus that brings me to my regular subway station, a Caucasian lady was standing quite close to me and seemed oblivious to my hosed legs.
At the subway station, I took a less crowded area, but boarded the train at the cabin where I was surrounded by regular commuters, including OLs. The OLs were busily talking, completely oblivious of my hosed legs, but a man with his family was looking at me; he might have noticed I'm in hose but I didn't bother about it. 2 kids were playing with their mum infront of me, without noticing my hosed legs.
When I transited to another line, some teenager boys boarded the train and I could see a couple of them glacing at my hosed legs but I didn't bother. Soon I was home...and made it through this half day in exposed hosed legs!
Went for classes in berms and hose too; "fortunately" my female teacher and classmates didn't notice it...haha...think it's a good experience though.
So it's about 1/2 day in hose today. Shall try a full day to gain confidence next time!
Propeds hose are pretty comfortable as the yarn is fine and closely woven; unlike Guardian's house brand hose; the latter provides good support but the yarn is too coarse for long comfort; even with hairless legs.
