If you ware wanting attention from OH or other people then yes, show them off., It's what they're for! :D
If not then maybe try tights that look like stockings, printed ones that still give the effect of stockings without the tops ever being on show.
i depends where you're going for a night out
i wouldn't dream of it if i was going to a 'club' enviroment, but then i never really do!
i often have mine on show if it's a cabret/burlesque night or even in a rock/alternative club, these enviroments are much more open minded ;)
Buy for tall people, im 5ft 9" and they fit so much better, definetly worth it for comfort look and sexiness. The stockings should be upper thigh... not lower thigh like the standard ones fit x
