French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld is my mom’s age. So why in God’s name is she going pantsless in lace tights and hooker boots, forcing us to be sick all over the place? I don’t care what people say about age being just a number, 55 is far too high a number for this Lady Gaga-esque behavior. In an effort to come to terms with a former icon’s decline, we’ve constructed a highly scientific chart tracing the progress of pantslessness through the last four decades. It won’t be easy, but taking the journey from ‘70s roller girls all the way up to Carine is cathartic somehow.

Tights are NOT pants!

I think all of the women in the chart look fierce! I am a staunch supporter of pantslessness as long as the person sans pants has the right body for the look. Not wearing pants is liberating and fun! Why do we have to be so prudish?

wow she does not look like she’s in her fifty’s!!! Her tights are cute and I would totally rock them with a dress or cute skirt.

I love the tights. Have some just like those. Just can’t wear them cause those tights can only be rocked with high high heels. Tell me LilyQ, I had one pin put in my medial malleolus Aug29,2009….when can I strut my heels & my tights. Doing physio & it’s going great. By the look of the picture of your ankle things look similar. Are they? Not wearing heels consumes my every thought. Please let me know….

@Jasmina It’s been almost exactly a year since I had ankle surgery, I finished physical therapy a few months ago and I’ve been wearing heels with moderation since mid summer. I’m not technically supposed to wear them, but there are occasions that just don’t call for flats, amiright? If your recovery is anything like mine was, I’d give yourself at least a couple more months before cautiously trying heels again (only at times when you know walking and standing will be limited).Good luck!
