Does anyone else have sartorial date rules?

Calendar related, not romance!

I've got a rule about not wearing opaque tights or knee high boots May to September irrespective of weather
So I celebrated today wearing black opaque tights. And have ordered a lovely new pair of duo boots.
I don't usually judge others for breaking these rules, but adhere to them myself with rigour!
I have no idea where I got this from. No idea.
Anyone else got rules like this?

I have the same rules as you! I've been very confused by my colleagues in their thick black tights during August!

Yay!
Have just realised I got my rules wrong, should've said May to August, but you clearly knew what I meant

No. My dress code is strictly dictated by the weather, although in summer months I would wear nude tights rather than opaques, or trousers.

See, that's logical. Dictated by weather just...can't...do...it

Which Duo boots have you ordered?

Laurel. Got 'em off the outlet site, was just looking for a link, but I don't think they were joking when they said 'last pair'

These

Wow - too high for me but amazing.

They're kind of a threat to myself. I've lost a few kilos, and standard high street boots, which were always a bit on the loose side are now like wellies not got particularly slim legs but boot makers think if your feet are a size 8 you must have elephant calves If I pork out again, they won't fit!

ooooh how lovely. i have size 8 feet and elephant calves, so have to opposite problem, i can never do any boots up. i just order wellies online and i can't get them up my leg - ffs they are meant for thick socks and trousers to be tucked it too

I have loads of date/seasonal rules. No winter coat after April/before October. No tights unless the month has an r in. No boots April-Oct. Certain colours only for Summer (pale yellow, bright candy colours) and Winter (dark maroon/forest green/black). Different make up as well. Different hair.
