Leg Avenue Nylon Sheer Open Butt Crotchless Pantyhose

Sheer nylon pantyhose that leave the back open and the crotch open, which makes them the most practical impractical thing in the drawer. From the front they look like ordinary hose. From every other angle the design speaks for itself.

The advantage is simple: nothing has to come off, and nothing has to be planned around. Wear them under a skirt or a dress for a night where that matters, or with a bodysuit layered over the top so the openings sit beneath. Sheer nylon is the most delicate knit here, so take your rings off, gather each leg and roll them on from the toe rather than hauling them up from the waistband. Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry, and keep them away from anything with a rough edge.

Crotchless hose is common. An open back as well is much rarer, and it is what turns this pair from a quiet convenience into a deliberate piece of lingerie.
