tights when DD doesn't like tights

DDs new school are strict re: skirts with tights or black trousers.

DD feels she is too hot.

She hates tights but socks / long socks not allowed.

DD is secondary age

So what are the options to make her comfortable whilst sticking to school uniform? She would be the only girl wearing black trousers as I haven't seen any of the other girls without a skirt on.

Everyone knows tights are not great for vagina health.They are known to cause problems and first thing you are told is to avoid synthetic fibres and tights. Surely socks are better than girls having to wear stockings? Can you imagine what the boys would make of that? I can’t imagine she be the only girl wearing trousers. Plus tights are expensive especially if they are thin ones that ladder at slightest knock.

My DD wears trousers to school, the vast majority of girls at her school wear skirts but it doesn't bother her.

I find snag tights more comfortable than other brands so maybe try those?

If she wants trousers I would get those. Otherwise I would buy some more expensive tights in as light a denier as possible. It's not cheap to be comfortable

Oh god, woollen not wooden 🙄

It sounds like a very draconian school. But if you want to stay within the rules you either wear tights or trousers. Do they mean wooden tights or could she get away with hold ups or stockings.
