Are garter belts trashy for everyday use? What should one wear them with so the strap lines aren't visible?

I'm 17 and like to wear gartered stockings as opposed to regular elastic tights. Does this seem at all improper to you? I'd never wear them with a short skirt... what would you suggest I wear them with, as I'm concerned about bumps from the straps. Thanks.

1. What??
2. Women used to wear garter belts every day out of necessity. Items don't make a woman trashy, only a person can do that to themselves. So wear it with confidence and a nice pencil skirt :)
3. jeans
4. It's only trashy if you like to show off what you're wearing. What you wear under your skirt is your business.
5. It is not improper at all as long you keep the fact that you are wearing garters to yourself (ie don't show them when you cross your legs). Some women have challenges with this which is why they choose either thigh highs or pantyhose. You can wear them with just about anything that is long enough to cover the straps...a pencil skirt would look great. Really just any skirt/dress where hosiery is needed (which I think is most of the time...I can't stand the bare legged look).
6. It's perfectly fine. Just be careful whatever you're wearing over them doesn't show the straps. If it does you could try pantyhose instead for a smoother look.
