Could you imagine new pantyhose commercials being made?

And/or getting a reenactment like this one:

I’ve always loved women’s legs in pantyhose. Imagine in a pantyhose commercial like this one and there being beautiful female celebrities in it like Natalie Portman, Emma Watson, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Ariana Grande, Selina Gomez, Kate Beckinsale, Kate Middleton, Scarlett Johansson, etc.

You could not get away with making a pantyhose commercial like the one you posted today.

Guy Looks at Another Woman’s Legs

That commercial and the ad above are likely from the 80s. The 80s were a very visual era because of MTV. Many commercials had an MTV vibe to them. Pantyhose commercials were often a part of that.

Another thing to consider is how pantyhose were often marketed to women as a way to attract men. The message being, men will find you more attractive if you wear pantyhose. The commercial of the man snapping her pantyhose would be seen as playful at the time. It would be considered flirty. Women back then would be drawn to the display of an attractive man showing interest in her pantyhose.

These days this type of thing would be seen as part of the male gaze. Men being perverts and such.

To sell pantyhose today, you’d have to make the commercial more female centric. Women would have to feel empowered by wearing them. But then pantyhose don’t really empower you past the laws of attraction. Women feel its more empowering to just show off their bare legs. That or they wear pants. When women wear pantyhose today, men usually pay attention to their legs, not her as a whole.

Pantyhose were essentially replaced by leggings. Women are able to wear tights without the need of a dress or pants. I’m not sure women would go back to dresses with pantyhose, when they can just wear tights as pants and still attract men in the process. Leggings are usually the last stage, fashion history wise, when it comes to wearing tights. First long ankle length dresses. Then shorter hemlines with stockings. Next shorter skirts with pantyhose or tights. We’re now in the last stage. Tights as pants.

The next phase is women come to prefer pants. Which we seem to be inching towards now. After that you might have to do a historical reset, where men are the now ones dressed in tights again and we’re talking about the appropriateness of the female gaze on men’s legs.

Well the thing is a woman wearing pantyhose will attract me 100% more than one who is bare legged.
