When did stockings go out of fashion? I looked up some history on the internet, and they went out with the invention of pantyhose. Garter belts were designed in the 1920s as an alternative to uncomfortable and restricting corsets. Women could just slip into a belt and attach their nylons directly to it, instead of to a corset or girdle. The glamour of stockings also evokes the 1940s and 50s, and the golden age of sensual Hollywood femme fatales.
Since the early 1960s, when men's magazines featured images of women in underwear, they have acquired an erotic element. Why does the slightest glimpse of a lacy stocking top, a taut suspender or a naked thigh above the stocking turn men mad with desire? I think it's all about contrasts. Black against white thigh. Even long black gloves can be a male turn on when covering a white arm.
Stockings and garter belts can play roles in erotic fantasy. Some women will include garter belts as part of a sexual fetish costume. They are usually made of lace or other silky material. They are considered to be part of lingerie and they come in variety of styles and colors.
Generally speaking, if the desired effect is achieved, they don’t stay on too long. *GRIN*
