Now back in the states, I have a friend visiting me from Beijing and try as I can I cannot convince her to take them off, even with her sandals. I got her some peds to wear with her sneakers, but she complained they were too hot. Yesterday I took her shopping in her beige sandals and her beiger ankle socks, a thick blue, red and green paisley jacket blouse, and thin silk brown pin striped knee high pants that bloused and buttoned at the knee. AAAggghhh. My daughter just smiled...Between the ankle socks and the foot long pointed toes, I just don't get Chinese fashion (?) at all.

That is the first positive thing I have heard anyone say about the ankle-high nylons. The consensus among expats in China is that they are eye sores. While I can understand your point about femininity, I don't see how a cheap pair of ankle-high nylons, often worn with a formal dress and high-heel sandals, could illustrate feminine allure. A nice pedicure, yes; a nylon cop-out, no. Good for you. That is the first positive thing I have heard anyone say about the ankle-high nylons.

I am a white American male and I find these ankle high stockings to be incredibly sexy. I find that Asian women are not ashamed of femininity. I think bare legs are a bit crude. In general I think that many American women are lazy and unwilling to look truly feminine anymore. To each their own.

And you're right, I don't see anything attractive about them. Those look like what my mother and grandmothers wore back in the early 60s.
