Air conditioning?

They're supposed to be sexy, as they supposedly evoke a garter belt look, but even on a model they are, in this iteration, a "fail," as they say.

I want to know what else you are looking at on Instagram to make this pop up in your feed :)

methinks the panties are not really meant to be worn with the (not panty) hose.

lol dee, it was a very innocent Nordstrom ad. I promise!

I think you can wear panties, but you can pull them aside. Avoids the struggle of pulling the hose up and down.

That’s my final answer.

Dare I ask how they look in back?!

According to the site: Opaque tights from Italy unleash your risqué side with their cutouts along the hips.

That to me means, not worn with any other undergarment ...great way to keep him from seeing most of your cellulite if you go for the gusto ...except for those hips and thighs bulging out of those cutouts....

"modern" version garter belt & stockings.

My initial impression was bathroom break facilitation at the club. Nothing about it would make me want to unleash anything else, though.

The hip cut-outs are the more mysterious part…

I'm not so sure I want to know.

maybe an all-in-one garter belt/hose??

"bathroom break facilitation"

Indeed! A must have for glamping!

This is where the unlovely and useless cold shoulder style has left us.

"unleash your risqué side" So much for #metoo! It fascinates me the obsession we have with sexuality. If this is THE driving urge/force/motivation humans have we are doomed!!! I am already seeing female Halloween costumes that pretty much tell everyone what someone thinks women are for!!

what in the world has this item got to do with #metoo

Actually, without the sex drive, humanity would be doomed...just ask the Shakers...if there are any left.

I‘m with Tina; I think its all-in-one garter belt and hose.

I cant see where it would even help with use in the bathroom.

Who still wears nude pantyhose??? Why the cutouts on the hips?

OutsidePlaying...if you don't have underpants on....

Way back when (Late 60s) when girdles were often part of some women’s wardrobes, the first thing done was to cut out the fabric panel of the crotch. Only reason was for ease of bathroom use. Some ’foundation’ manufacturers got smart and offered a crotch that was split.

You guys have your mind in the gutter! That's why I like it here. lol!

Seriously, I don't understand the sides being cut out either.... and it doesn't matter because I haven't seen anyone wear hosiery of any kind in many many years! Have you?!

I wonder if there is a specific dress for these??? Like kswl said….this is where the cutout shoulders have left us!!! Cut out thighs? Like J-Lo ?

Maybe they're meant to be worn with plastic pants:

For the woman that likes to leave on her high heels during a romp in the night club bathroom?

Allison!

I think the cutouts on the hips would really be unflattering in clothes. I know I I like mine to be smooth not look like a bundle or blob of fat sticking out.

When I worked full time I used to often wear tights with a skirt and blouse or sweater in the winter. I got a lot of yeast infections. My doctor suggested thigh-highs as nylon is really not good for your health if you suffer from yeast or uti infections. I would have loved those pantyhose as tights if they exsisted back then. Now, I almost wear cords or jeans all winter long.

Yeah, I’m with you @amykath!! My first thought was ”Egads! My hips would look like 2 cans of Pillsbury dough popped open.” 😳😂

I am having a terrible day today-- actually a terrible week. I just need to thank you for sharing this, Sue.. and most especially the most recent responses-- all of which were in my head (club quicky was my first thought)! You all seem to always bring a laugh when I need one. <3

I'm right there with you gals! My thighs have more cottage cheese than Sam Breakstone!

Hahaha!

"This hasn't gone to plan."

Somehow i jist knew it was going to be a British woman before i even saw it. So Hilarious.

‘Oh China, You disappoint me.’

Thanks for sharing!

Do people even wear pantyhose anymore? I don't seem to see them.

I don’t think I’ve seen pantyhose in 20 years — or night clubs!

I'm getting anxiety just thinking about putting on pantyhose. LOL

The hip cut-outs are the more mysterious part… >

I believe that those are there so that it will be easier to pull down your panties without disturbing the pantyhose. That's what I immediately thought when I saw them, but that may or may not work, since you would not be able to pull them down all that far.

What a hoot - can't imagine there is much of a market for these since no one wears hose any more - or maybe it's making a comeback and I just don't know it yet
