Capri Cavanni Nylons 10

World War II hit people in the weirdest places. Nylon stockings vanished from the shelves, leaving grown women bare-legged with every scuff and tan line on full display. Capri Cavanni could’ve worn those sleek, five-denier sheers, but instead she stepped out of the house feeling every draft on her calves, every rough patch of heel. Men still gawked. She gave them the same calm half-smile she always did, but walked a little faster because the February wind loved to remind her exactly how bare she really was.
