In Europe, stocking are a big thing and lots of money is spent on these. They are designer stockings though, and have different textures, colors, and patterns.
In the USA stockings are only worn if a person in authority (employer) requires it. In which case many of the women choose to wear pants instead of dress/skirt to avoid the stocking issue.

Women with a good job, that don't like to be encumbered by pantyhose all day. It's like wearing two pair of panties.
I love the freedom of a garter belt and stockings, and they are so much more fashionable, because of the sheerness and the availability of different colors and styles. Pantyhose are definitely for the older women, younger women prefer stockings. I am a 21 year old Administrative Assistant in a Global Company.

The kind of woman that works in a cooperate office, and cares about the way she looks, and doesn't like the constrictions of pantyhose. I am 24 and work for a major cooperation and have to dress well every day.
I am not about to go around fighting with pantyhose for up to 12 hours a day, when I can wear my stockings and garter belt, and feel comfortable all day and feel a little sexy too. They are the only logical choice except perhaps thi-high hold ups, which are too thick for my liking. I prefer the delicate nylon in real stockings, so thin and sheer, compared to pantyhose or hold ups.

I am an 28 year old office manager, ex punker who started wearing fishnet stockings in my teen punk years, and graduated to ultra sheer nylons after I finally finished college and got a good job. I was never into pantyhose, and loved the garter belt look, so I kept it and updated it with a sophisticated flair. I still lean toward black, but keep my office wear a little on the conservative side, although
I sometimes slip back when going out on the weekends. I go for the seamed black stockings in stead of my off black seamless office stockings, and I can still fit into my leathers from my the old days. It's a lot of fun once in a while, but come Monday morning I am back to my down to business mode.

I am a 17 year old High School student with an office job after school and I have to dress well. I have never liked pantyhose, so I wear stockings and garters to school and work. I tried hold-ups, but the elastic tops bother me and are a bit bulky under tight fitting skirts.
I find the stockings and garter belt the best because they are so sheer and light, they actually feel good under the rather dull clothes I have to wear to the office. In fact I like them so much now, I wear them out when I go on non casual dates and evening events.

Very sophisticated women, with good jobs and a classic look. At least that is what the women I know are like who wear stockings and a garter belt. They are usually employed in a responsible job, and go head to head with male counterparts. I would say the ages would between 20 and 45.
I am a male operations manger, and 36 years old.

Sexy girls who care about how they look, and don't want to look like their grandmothers by wearing pantyhose. I work in an office all day, and hose are required.
I would wear them anyway, because I hate the bare leg look with heels and business clothes. It could be compared to the men in an a office all wearing sandals and bare feet with their 3 piece suits.
I am 25 , and take care about the way I dress. I also like look of sheer stockings and a garter belt instead of bare legs. I would rather go bare legged than wear pantyhose . Stockings are the perfect combination. They give the sophisticated look and great sexy feel, but do not constrict and annoy you like pantyhose do

I am a 21 year old Jr. Marketing Rep for a large cooperation, and I wear stockings and a garter belt to work everyday, because I hate pantyhose. Stockings are way more comfortable for all day wear, and look and feel more feminine.
Stockings and lingerie are a way to offset some of the boring business clothes that are proper for a woman who is competing with the men for sales. It is not appropriate, or beneficial for me to dress "cute" "prissy" of too sexy. the best look is a sophisticated, classic look, with a little intrigue and hint of sexiness. Heels and sheer stockings teamed up with a well fitted conservative business suit does the trick.

Very successful ones. I am a 41 year old male bank VP, and all the women I know that wear stockings, rather than pantyhose are very hard driving career minded women, who relish taking on their male counterparts head to head. I have never met a shrinking violet wearing a garter belt and stockings.
These are very classy women, who know that they have to be as assertive in a mans world as the men, and you can't do that in a trouser suit and trouser socks and oxfords. They take their femininity to an authoritative and classic look, just as a man would wear a power tie.

Regular women under 30. The older ones wear pantyhose. I am 26, a professional, and wear stockings and a garter belt to the office every day. They are infinitely more comfortable than pantyhose, and a lot more classy and sophisticated. I love the look and feel of them, and also wear them on my own time when I am not doing something casual like going to a ball game, or hanging on the beach.
