Do any young women still wear slips?

[fantASTic]

No. I don't know anyone who does. No stockings, either.

[Smile_Awhile]

If I'm wearing a skirt with thin fabric that becomes seethrough in the sun, I'll wear a half slip. Other than that, not a chance.

I wear pantyhose most of the time-in particular, job interviews, funerals, church, official sorority business. Not that I attend any of these often. Party dresses, not so much, ie the dress I wore last night for NYE.

As for slips, well my mom doesn't even wear slips. But she also rarely wears dresses/skirts. My aunt, OTOH, who is 10 years older than mom, wears slips often, esp with her church attire. Which is more legit because she's an usher and wears all white.

I thought the purpose of a slip was mainly, to prevent pantylines, but also like a lining for thin skirts/dresses so your legs don't stick to your dress/skirt when you sit.

Maybe younger women aren't wearing slips b/c clothing that require it tend to come with a lining, or bc women are wearing more appropriate underwear so there isn't any VPL.

No, but I keep a couple on hand in case I ever need them. Really, my mom bugged me about it endlessly when I was little, but now I have no need for them. I used to wear slips under thin fabric that could become see-through and that was usually really fancy clothes (for church/holiday parties where your mom dresses you up like a little doll). I never wear any of that stuff now and anything I have that has thin fabric is casual (like 95% of my wardrobe) so a cute cami will do. I wear stockings 1-2 a year, if even that. I don't think I've worn a pair since my college graduation (about 1.5 years ago).

I haven't worn a slip since I was 12. I absolutely hated them then, so I'm careful about the skirts I buy now.
I don't think I've worn pantyhose since I was a senior in high school. I had to wear them after winning a pageant I was in at every single public appearance I made.

I've seen some who NEEDED to wear a slip....

[Benzgirl]

I don't buy a skirt unless it is lined or it is a thicker fabric. No need for a slip. For the first time in years and years, I bought a summer dress. It was not lined and I did not wear a slip because it really didn't need it.

They still make slips?

[MexicanMami0286]

Ditto. If the skirt/dress if too see-through, I will wear one. There's no point in seeing my Snoopy or Mickey Mouse panties. Just kidding

But I love pantyhose, especially pantyhose with funky prints, like argyle and lines and even opaque tights -- nothing too flashy though, since I'm usually wearing it because of work. When it's hot, I don't wear it.

[Benzgirl]

^^^ That was my thought. All of the slips I had in the drawer had to be thrown away. The elastic wore out from age.

[tld221]

Lmao about the snoopy draws. They should make slips for shorts, bc I was at disneyworld walking behind this older woman with white shorts on with the LOUDEST animal printed draws. It was like wild kingdom or something. I suppose she couldve done the sensible thing and worn black underwear, but hey, she looked like she fit the slip-wearing demographic.

[MexicanMami0286]

Lol. There's a slip wearing demographic?! Jeeze, I've always been told I was old at heart, even though I'm 22.

But I know what you mean. And I, too, hate when people wear some loud ass panties under a white/pastel colored pant or skirt. Luckily, I learned to invest in some black thongs. They've been a life saver!

Indeed they do. I wear mine when there isn't a lining under the skirt.

[Honeykiss1974]

Only when needed which was about 4 times this past year. I wear pantyhose more often though - maybe once/twice a week when it's colder. During the warmer month, I mostly go bare since I wear some form off open toed shoe 95% of the time.

[AnchorAlumna]

I'd rather wear a slip than a thong!
