Q:
Rav Miller speaking: A young lady passed up a piece of paper with a question and she’s been asking a number of times the same question. Last week she put this question on five slips of paper. So I must answer. She asks, “Why is it that you must wear stockings if they’re transparent?”
A:
Well, that’s an earthshaking problem but I must answer. If the stockings are transparent, so what’s the use of wearing them?
And the answer is there’s a certain convention that you should comply with. So even though in halachah it could be that transparent stockings are not good enough but at least it’s a convention. We have to conform to minimum conventions. The principle of tznius may not be satisfied by transparent stockings, but at least it’s a gesture in that direction. And therefore keep it up.
