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.

Hosed Mission Successful.

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.

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.

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

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.

The Remote Hosed Journey so far

Been a week since I have been in a more remote area since that office move.  Things are settling in, looking for new places to change out for the post work hoseout while thinking of how far I can go in shades.  Looking at the area being a clustered business area, the efficiency in the elevator, the furthest I could go should just be Nutmeg shade which give a warm greyish, flattering look to my legs.

Explored the mall within the 1st day of posting here; unfortunately, there aren't any stores selling hosiery, so I didn't have the opportunity to window shop/restock.  It doesn't matter for now as I have adequate stockups in my hosiery stash that can last me a long time as long as I maintain them well.

So far, it hasn't been too bad when I hosed out in skintone shades from the nearest changing facility in office.  

Taking the regular route to the bus stop was still alright when I stick to skintone shade, but I could try a day in Nutmeg shade and see how it goes.  Smoky Pearl should stay out for awhile until the entire area is analysed.

There are a few good clothing stores which I can expand my legwear styles via leggings so I managed to grab a couple of pairs for a good deal for a start.  Will be reviewing these in a separate entry as I merge them with hosiery in time to come.

Meanwhile, lets' continue to assess the area and see how I can go about my hoseout walks after work.

Outdoor Hose Report - Off the Skin Shade, to the Black side

Made a break this morning by choosing an entirely different set altogether; instead of the regular folded berms and skintone hose, I decided to do something different; black leggings completed with black pantyhose:

Attire Roundup: Striped Top with Su.Soku Seamless leggings, folded,
complete with Su.Soku Extra Support Pantyhose.

Lift shot: One of the visual tests outdoors.

Hosed leg shot - Looking good and all set!

This is definitely something out of the regular attire; probably something not commonly seen of men going out in; leggings and matching pantyhose, but I decided to go on with it anyway.

After slipping it on and adjusting the leggings to show enough hosed legs, I completed the look with a bulkier looking pair of runners and off I went.

Sun was hot, lighting the day up pretty well.  There was a mother and child who joined my lift journey down but she didn't gave any weird stares after entering in.  Crowds could be seen walking around in the neighbourhood; I mustered up the courage to just walk on as any one would regularly in whatever attire they came out in, as usual for my grocer run.  Through the mall, down the regular escalator, I reached the grocer to pick up some stuff as one normally would.  Since the self-help kiosks were not operating yet, I had to approach human cashiers.  Made my payment and went off at a regular pace. 

Made my way back using the same escalator, crowded entrance/exit and crossed the road using the traffic junction this time.  Clusters of folks could be seen passing me but I took no notice of anyone looking at my hosed legs while I set my visual back to the normal level.

After a short walk, passing children and parents at the fitness corners, took my lift up as usual, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Off the Skin Shade, Nightwalk

Another day that I decided to go offskin shade, as the regular skin shade was already second nature, but I packed skintone shaded hose in consideration of attire matching.

The busy day fleeted by quickly and soon, I found myself liberated and slipping on a pair of Propeds Sheer Support Pantyhose in Beige shade.  It looked a little fair, yet carries a gentle hint as I had it to match my doublerolled white berms with fine, vertical stripes.  Made my way through crowded areas without any usual visual locks.

Ran some errands back to hometown, which was about an hour's subway ride from home.  By the time I was done, sun was already set; since I had quite a mental suppressing day, the best way was to do something I like, and that is, to hose out with offskin shade hose.

Went to the mall at town central, hoping to find that LaVora range from my favourite store.  However, it was already taken out, hence choices are limited to those available, such as Funfit, CheriLon, Propeds and other less known makes.

Rummaged through all the hosiery carefully and the only offskin shade suitable was Nutmeg, which I've tried and pretty confident in it.  Since I had the regular size, I got a Queen this time, in the same shade, for better comfort due to the garment construction.

Got my hose, went to change and got out.  Nutmeg has a grey-purplish hint, which is much more obvious at night even under bright electrical light; probably due to the nature of the yarn's base color.  No mattee; I went to my bus stop to find my way home.

As I was in the packed bus, I had to stand in the handicapped zone which deemed the most convenient and comfortable standing area.  As the bus hit the last stop at town central, I noticed a luggage bag towing girl was staring at my hosed legs for awhile.  Meddled with my phone and soon, she alighted, and naturally, seat was filled by another, male passenger this time.

The highway journey soon ended and I got off at my transit bus stop.  The male "seat filler" passenger too alighted, and I noticed he was constantly looking at the direction of my hosed legs, which were obvious as he was seated nearest to any oncoming traffic's direction, and periodically turning back and tipping his head out of the regular vertical seating position.

Bus arrived and boarded as usual, with the "fillerboy" still taking glances before he boarded.

The bus soon passed by some more populated area and a couple with baby boarded.  The mother sat at the middle priority seat which my hosed legs are still in full view.  About halfway into the bus ride, I noticed she was staring at my hosed legs from time to time, but no word exchanged during the trip as her spouse was in a further standing position.

Reached my bus stop, crossed the road into my estate.  No passerbys were noticing anything about me and soon, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Off the Skin Shade

After several reviews, article readups and chats with like-minded hosed folks, I decided to go in an offskin shade pantyhose today.

Brought along a pair of Propeds Sheer Support Pantyhose in Nutmeg shade, along with my standard configuration of 2 backups (1 Suntan and 1 Beige shade) as I packed to get to work for the day.

As usual, day went by fast; and since we have an earlier time off, this was a good time to have more hoseout time after work.  Did my usual drill of change, slipped into the Nutmeg shade, which already looks pretty sensual yet matching in the shadow-overcast cubicle, matched off with my favourite slimcut berms (kept the rollups off for now) and walked out confidently.  My usual route always pass by a squad of kitchen workers who are on rest break, lining the railings of the external building, as this is near their kitchen access door.  I noticed they will take glances whenever people pass by; probably due to the fact that few people take this route behind the building.   Sometimes, I wonder if they are looking at my hosed legs.  Whenever that thought passes my mind, I just walked on confidently and normally.

I was greeted by a heavy rain when I got out; since it was raining, umbrella wielders like me will not take note of anything except moving on, and getting out of the rain.  The rain was so bad that it got my legs below knee drenched, changing the shade of my Nutmeg hosed legs to that of my regular skin tone;  it was as if the entire hose had gone invisible.  Nevertheless, I still have to move on to my destination.  I too, took this early out opportunity to get my footwear changed, as it didn't really fit well.  Took the subway, reached my destination without any usual stares; at this time, the hose have dried out and starting to show its actual color; it looks like a mild hint of grey, which can only be noticed if one looks close enough.  

Found the shop, after some exploration as I came here only once.  While the store worker was sorting out my swapping, I walked around and took a couple of shots of my hosed legs, which emitted their shimmer from my viewing angle.  No odd observation from the workers as I was fitting my new shoes. Once my swap was done, I went on to cross the road via the regular crossing.  Minor raindrops could be felt but that's alright, as the walk was relativeyl short to reach shelter.  The hosed legs are in full view under the daylight at trafffic junction, but no one was looking based on my visual radar.

Since I had some vouchers, I decided to head to the nearby mall to see if I can expend them for some hosiery.  However, the store had a measely range so I decided to give it a pass.  The hint of grey became a little more obvious from my viewing angle in the brightly-lit store, but that didn't pose a problem.  Probably the lowcut socks were moist, hence they clinged on to this pair of also slippery yarn pantyhose so I didn't have to adjust it anywhere.  Took the sheltered bridge above, and decided to stop for a couple of shots of my hosed legs, with the soft lighting in this tunnel.

With no luck with restock of my hoisery, I decided to head home instead of heading to another store, which is subway station away.  Took the route to the guaranteed seating place and made my way up the bus, right in time as I exited the station.   Found a comfortable seat and took the quiet bus journey back.  Sunlight was still active, hence I took a shot of my hosed legs, which from side view, appears tactical (as shared by a friend who saw this shot).

Soon I reached my estate, took a short walk, passing crowds without any special notification.  The grey hint on my hosed legs were becoming more obvious, but that didn't mattter.

Outdoor Hose Report - Caffine Hosed Day

Feeling caffiney today, probably due to the morning caffine overdoze at work, hence I decided on this shade after a busy day.

As with my usual configuration, 2 pairs of hose are packed just in case of emergencies, despite the wear time being shorter.  Brought this pair of Propeds Sheer Support Pantyhose in Toffee shade along for this evening's wear.

A busy day went on as usual.  Standard black hose under work pants are worn under regular work pants till the day's done.  Considering the fact that there were external folks in the office and exit timing may coincide, I planned an alternative route to make my way back. Usual drill on the change drill at the first level's Gents; final wrap with my linen berms double rolled up to show some hosed legs.

Took my alternative route, passed a regularly crowded staircase assembly with riders, which was unusually unpopulated today.  Got by the route behind my favourite lunch stop point where clusters of tertiary students and working class folks can be seen.  As I was commuting to cross this route, I took stop for a shot of my hosed legs under natural sunlight to see how it looks like from a digital eye (pic available soon).

Decided to go by the alternate route to subway since I have taken this route.  The journey was smooth as I was transiting to the other line from this newly built line.   As I was waiting at the station after changing lines, I noticed a middle aged lady conversing with her male commuting companion, while taking glance in the direction of my hosed legs.  They look a little matt bronzy in the subway station's light; but I wasn't bothered about whether she was really taking glance at my legs.

The train was getting rather crowded by this time, as it was reaching the shoulder of the rush hour.  Coincidentally, this middle aged lady who seemingly noticed my hosed legs stood beside me throughout the ride.  However, due to the rush hour creeping in, the train got rather uncomfortably crowded that I could feel her bag carrying hand brushing against my berms and hosed leg on one side.  Since the frequency was too often, I decided to inch off to a side where there's a little more space.

She alighted after a few stations so I had some peace for the rest of the journey.

Took a tunnel walk to reach the bus interchange since I'm on this alternative route, where there will be guaranteed seating since it departs from the interchange.  No unusual sighting here of my toffee hosed legs throughout the journey.  As I alighted in my estate, the sun had started to set, hence light loss brought about the enhancement of the bronzy look, while preserving the natural, nyloned look.

Outdoor Hose Report - Glossy Booster

Packed a couple of skintone hose and decided to bring a 3rd pair, which was the Su.Soku Sheer Support Pantyhose, in Color 803.  This was in case I decide to go for something different after work.

The usual black sheers went under work pants, accompanied me through the busy day.  Soon, the day ended and I can silkily express myself with a shade I like, with folded berms.  As with my usual changing after work, I decided to go for the Color 803, since the shade was something that can make me feel better for the evening.  Slipped on this pair, with lowcut socks, while keeping the folds at double on berms, as I wanted to keep the look subtle, yet neat.

Took my walk to the busy junction towards subway, crossed it under the bright evening sunlight and I didn't bother who was going to look.  Instead of the regular, speedier route of my subway journey back, I decided to route to a bus ride via another route.  The train was reasonably crowded, considering it was a commuting hour for working class.  I had to walk past an evening sunlit shelterd walkway to the transiting bus stop as I reached the train station.  While walking, I noticed the sunlight casting a healthy glow to my hosed legs making them a little shimmery, yet flattering.

My bus just left when I reached, so I had to spend another 10ish minutes waiting.  This was a crowded area as many pass by to the town central, to the food centre right behind (yes, I am in full view of dining crowd at the food centre), or transiting at this bus stop.  Groups of commuters walked past without bothering about my hosed legs, so I guess it's not that noticeable.  The bus that came wasn't too spacious, hence I had to take stand at the exit throughout the journey.  Passing some town, the sunlight shone on my legs and I could see the shimmer around the edges, just like those shimmer silhouette hosiery.

Another shot at the same place.  It's really naturally smooth to the look.

Soon, I reached my hometown.  Walked through the neighourhood while trying not to bother with the lowcut socks that had already slipped off for good, I decided to find a place to adjust them back to place, while giving the berms an additional fold, bringing it back to the maximum, triplefold this pair can do.  As the sunlight was falling, the tone of the hose got darker on my legs, giving it a sensual look on top of the smooth yarn that was a challenge to do with lowcut socks.  

A short walk soon brought me home without any unusual glances.

Darkening the Offskin Silky Legs

After the first offskin shade experience yesterday, it came to my mind it was not too bad an experience afterall.   The only difference is about going public in a shade that's going to be noticed.

Decided to go for a darker shade this evening, hence I visited my favourite departmental store after work, hosed up in Propeds Sheer Support Pantyhose, Suntan Shade.  Had an early dinner prior to this, walking past crowded places as normal without any unusual stares.  The skintone shade hose must have been naturally flattering on my legs, and the norm crowd don't bother noticing.

After visting the hosiery section, I went on to sample through the colors, looking specially at Nutmeg and Toffee.  The former is a darker and warmer grey shade, which makes the skin beneath more natural in appearance.  This was probably the color which I saw an OL in during the morning rush hour, with black dress, grey hose and blue flats.  The combination looks classy, yet with a hint of sensuality.

As I was sampling through the colors and looking for the actual item, the brand promoter lady happened to return from her meal break, and asked if I've found what I want.  I asked if she had the stock of Nutmeg as I couldn't locate it; and it appeared to be in the same shelf behind Toffee.  She went on to help by guiding my hand to slip into the sample hose to see the color, before asking if the wearer is fair/dark skin-toned.  My reply was "she's not that dark, but prefer dark colors" while the brand promoter wanted to recommend me a skintone shade.  In the end, I got a pack of Nutmeg and Toffee (they come in 2-pair packs).

Had my fitness regime done and after washing up, nightfall came, and so is my evening hosewalk for the 2nd attempt in this arena.  Sampled both the Toffee and Nutmeg as follows (picture available soon):

Toffee is a little brownish, with shade similar to Color 803 of Su.Soku's Sheer Support Pantyhose.   Nutmeg appears better as compared to Smoke Pearl, hence I decided to go with this pair as the Toffee Shade can wait for another day.  Matched the Nutmeg with slimcut berms, triple rolled, and boat shoes, a simple top and went to the grocer for some simple errands cum hosewalk adventure.

Walked around the grocer several times to find what I needed, while observing the shade of hose on my legs under the bright lights here.  Shade appears much better, as it doesn't give the legs pallid look (picture available soon):

After I found what I needed, paid at the human cashier and took my leave naturally.  There was a security guard on night duty but I wasn't too bothered by his presence, or if he took a glance at my hosed legs.  Up to the main entrance, taking the main, populated entrance / exit and made my way back.  Passed a few OLs and none of them were bothered with my hosed legs.

Shading Offskin

After months of hosing out confidently, I decided to go into the next arena, which is moving off the skin shade.  This is not a measure to seek "excitement" in another color of hosiery, but rather, optimizing the range of hosiery colors made by manufacturers, but making it public on men.

This is the first attempt of hosing out in an offskin shade, hence I took sometime to rummage through my inventory of hosiery, making tries on a variety of shades before deciding what to go out in.

Here are the various shades I have chosen (picture available soon):

Propeds Smoky Pearl - under electrical white light.

After some consideration, I decided to go out in Smoke Pearl as the color appears subtle to the skin shade under the white light at home.  My favourite combination was to go with my slimcut berms, triple rolled, and dark grey canvas-top loafers which I commute in everyday.  From the lighting at the lift lobby, it was still quite alright.  Went to an eatery which was on the other side of my estate as it was less crowded, and to also taste some food which I have not ate for awhile.

Propeds Smoky Pearl - under electrical warm light.

At the eatery, made my order, had my meal, all these with my grey hosed legs in full view, but no one took notice.  Since it was still a little time before shops closed, I took my walk to the mall.  As I was walking through the mall (which was reasonably crowded) to reach the grocer's, the shade became more obvious, giving my legs a silvery hue.  Window browsed some stores without getting special notice, before heading to the grocer's for some resupply run. 

No doubt the shade is nice, the combination with my skintone wasn't too flattering.  However, since I've already walked through the grocer's normally as anyone would, I went on to the human cashier to make my payment, before heading off in a normal pace.  Throughout the time I was around the grocer's, I noticed no one actually bothered to look at my hosed legs.

Propeds Smoky Pearl - Last shot for the evening.

Took my time to walk back home.  The feeling was like that of when I first hose out in Nude shade some time back.  Probably I'll go for a darker shade at the next attempt; for now, keeping this off-skin shade for nightfall will be a good start.

Decommissioning the Wornout Nylons

This pair of Su.Soku Sheer Support pantyhose have been serving me well for more than 5 wears so before I decommission it, here's a couple of shots taken of against natural window light:

They really do flatter the legs nicely.

There's a run down the toe area as the reinforced toe construction isn't that solid as Propeds or other makes I've tried.  I still love this pair  of hose, but since the runs are decaying the garment, I have to let it go.

While it's a pity to dispose the entire hose, I snipped off the legs a couple inches below the panty line, converting it to a comfortable pair of boxer briefs; this is useful on days / occasions where it's not suitable for me to hose out openly.  The yarn of this definitely make an extremely comfortable pair of briefs.
