Kate Middleton's Sheer Stockings: Are Her Pantyhose Practical Or A Fashion Faux Pas?

Sheer pantyhose are still scoffed at in many fashion circles -- and while I understand why Kate might be wearing them, does this mean she's going to revive the trend? Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, was glowing while making various appearances on the Royal Tour -- and we aren't talking about her face! Her legs gave off a sheen, thanks to sheer pantyhose. The stockings, which were big in the '80s, aren't really a big trend especially for summer -- but they look like a royal requirement! Queen Elizabeth, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie all sport hose when they're out and about at official engagements. Considering the material of the countless dresses Kate wore on the tour coupled with all her appearances, it really isn't surprising that Kate wore something that would smooth her out. While I don't find her stockings particularly stylish, if there's one thing Kate can do, it's start a trend -- and it looks like that's exactly what's happening!
