Garter belts are
starting to come back into
play. Since I wore one to
prom last
year, three of my
close friends have gone out and
bought them. More are getting them in my
area. Of course, they're ideal for
formals because
dresses are usually long. But not for
everyday use...
The main
problem with them was the only
reason nylons were
invented; because short
skirts and
stockings don't
mix :/. Shortly after
miniskirts were
created and people were
brave enough to wear them, suppliers realized that they needed something to replace garter belts. In came nylons in outlandish
colors with
outlandish prices. They were accepted as a
vital accessory to the miniskirt look. Nylons stole 95% of the garter belt's
business in the ensuing years.
