I know that things were different for people even ten years older than I am, much less in my parent's generation. For example, my mom wore girdles and stockings; I wore pantyhose instead, thinking more of stockings and garters as for sex play, not "real life." I wore slacks to job interviews and was surprised to find even one place where the hiring manage even had an opinion about that.

The advent of colored hose and opaque tights over the last twenty years has made life even better for dressing at all femme. It's possible to look acceptably feminine without shaving one's legs! And bare legs are normal for summer for GenX and GenY and Millenials, as workplace dress codes have relaxed tremendously since I started working. I'm not sure what the strictest business wear requires today, though I suspect it still bans bare legs along with open toed shoes and pants made from stretchy fabric....
