Do any young women still wear slips?

They do make slips for shorts and for pants. My mother has them.

As a child was forced to wear cutesie little dresses with ruffles and such. I felt like I was always wearing a slip and tights.....

I am still revolting...

I don't buy dresses or skirts that don't have extra layers or if they are made out of thick fabric. I wear skirts all the time for work, and have no problems.

I NEVER wear pantyhose.....Maybe I would if it was cold...it is just too hot for them!

Hi five!

Boy shorts=the anti-thong

[myopicsunflower]

If I can see light through my skirt or dress, or if the dress is super clingy (like a sweaterdress), I'll wear a slip.

I hate slips and I've never worn one in my adult life.

Pantyhose get worn slightly more often (suits with a skirt), but then, I opt for thigh highs because the full on deal just drives me nuts

I wear a slip when wearing unlined clothing.

I wear pantyhose, whenever the setting dictates it formal parties, in business attire (what do you all wear with skirted business suits? Stockings?), church. I even wear them with slacks. They give you a sleeker appearance to me.

The majority of dresses nowadays (I can look at the ones of Mom's I've kept and realize this) have a built in lining, therefore there is no need for a slip. If one's unlined and I'm wearing hose I will wear a slip to avoid static.

I wear pantyhose with full business dress and in the winter, because I'm not a freaking idiot. If there is anything more ridiculous than seeing someone running around with bare legs in Pittsburgh in January I don't know what it is. And the ironic thing is many of the people who do this have either fat or veiny legs and really NEED pantyhose 24/7/365.

I agree with AA, you'd have to give me quite a bit of $$ to get me to sport a thong. Permanent wedgie is not my idea of fun.

I agree with 33girl. In the rare occurrence that a dress is unlined and it is thin/light color, I might wear a slip. I think I have two, one black one white. I have three nylons that I wear in formal settings. They were hand-me-downs from my mother who rarely wears nylons and slips although she did when she was younger.

I do not own a slip. I also do not own skirts, dresses, or non-jean or chino pants that aren't lined. Between lining and Spanx, I'm pretty home free as far as avoiding VPL and static cling.

For the ladies who have Initiation whites which are not lined, PLEASE wear a slip. Wearing a thong doesn't help because we can see that too. If you have cellulite and are not wearing hose, please wear a slip. And, keep in mind, just because it's not see through in "bedroom" lighting, it might be outdoors. Check first. I know they're not comfortable, I know that they add a layer (which in Michigan, in winter, is a good thing) but come on! For job interviews/business attire, please wear hose. Many work places do not allow bare legs.

Same here. Nothing comes without lining anymore anyway.

Sometimes I'll wear a slip - especially with light colored dresses even if they are lined. I don't like pantyhose because even the nudes look really unnatural on my pale skin (which is the point) but I will wear tights. However, I REFUSE to wear leggings!

[speedsters]

I would wear a slip if the skirts/dresses were unlined, but all of mine are lined, so no need.

But I wear hose all the time, pretty much anytime after October to May if I'm wearing a skirt or dress, mostly because I'm always cold! And I wear knee highs almost every day if I'm not wearing open toed shoes, and my sister always makes fun of me for it, but I love knee highs.

I wear a slip if the skirt or dress I'm wearing is unlined. I have a white skirt that has lining but you can still see through it in some lights. I wear pantyhose a lot more frequently though. I still like to wear skirts to work during the winter so I put on pantyhose to keep me warm. Also my legs are pale since it's too cold to tan so I wear pantyhose to make the color on my legs look more even.

I cannot believe there are still thong nay-sayers. Its really not bad. The wedgie thing doesn't happen too often and I don't think thongs=jezebelling whore.

Boy shorts, otoh, are cute but not practical. They bunch up and give worse pantyline than briefs.

The only time I've seen a younger woman wear a slip on TV was Charlotte on SATC, but I'm sure that's written as part of her character.
