Welcome to How to Be a Redhead 
A more lenient dress code has many women bidding good-bye to the once female fashion staple: hosiery, also known as “nylons.” First Lady Michelle Obama even stated on The View, “I stopped wearing pantyhose a long time ago because it was painful and they’d always rip…it’s inconvenient.”
But, women like the gorgeous Kate Middleton, regularly sports sheer hose. And, there are thousands of women who still rock hosiery on a daily basis.
So, what do redheads do to find the perfect pair of nude pantyhose? Most blondes and brunettes can quickly run into a department store and find a color close to their skin tone; but redheads, who are usually paler, might have difficulty finding the perfect color.
