Too early for black tights?

WipsGlitter · 14/09/2015 17:36

Two things - am cold at work with my bare legs and ankles and bumped into a friend who complimented me on my "casual" look when I thought I looked relatively smart!!

Work wardrobe is based on dresses and black tights - is it too soon?!

Sadly no. I've had 2 black tights days in September so far and haven't had my legs out for at least 3 weeks Sad

Floisme · 14/09/2015 17:41

It's never too early, although personally I prefer grey.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/09/2015 18:19

I'm in them - my body decided it wanted it to be Autumn!

Floisme · 14/09/2015 18:28

Summer is just sooo last season.

PrincessHairyMclary · 14/09/2015 18:31

Yep, I'm also in black tights at work.

RalphSteadmansEye · 14/09/2015 18:33

I would never wear bare legs to work, so: black, navy or grey opaques year round for me!

ChippyMinton · 14/09/2015 18:35

Opaques and long boots today here.
Can't wait for autumn proper to wear tweeds and woolens.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/09/2015 18:43

I wouldn't do bare legs at work - I quite like the M&S 'Illusion' nudes, if you're not ready for full on opaque yet.

LittleFishBigOcean · 14/09/2015 18:44

Yep, I wore black tights today.

Doobigetta · 14/09/2015 19:01

First black tights day for me today.

trinity0097 · 14/09/2015 19:42

I've worn them since the first day of term, have a been a few moments when travelling between classroom blocks that I gave been too hot, but inside have been just right!

ArialBold · 14/09/2015 19:52

I officially declare it black tights season! Grin

I did nude tights with dresses last week at work and by Thursday was freezing and cracked out the trousers.

It was raining and cold for much of today in my bit of London.

I've got my black tights and ankle boots out for work tomorrow Grin.

Aciderwouldbenice · 14/09/2015 19:58

Yeah black tight season! Love it, so many outfit opportunities that have been tucked away, less chance if a ladder than nudes and soooooo flattering.

SwedishEdith · 14/09/2015 20:08

Love tights season. I did a double-take at someone with bare legs today - looked so cold.

Twolefttoes · 14/09/2015 20:13

I went for opaques today for the first time of the season. Definitely cold enough now.

I am thrilled, really opens up my wardrobe.

FrustratedFrugal · 14/09/2015 20:18

I'm seeing lots of sheer black tights.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/09/2015 20:51

Sheer black can be v unflattering though.

BrendaandEddie · 14/09/2015 20:54

i wear trousers

ThoseAwfulCurtains · 14/09/2015 20:56

Black opaques and boots today. I was out and about with work and it was lashing it down. I'd have looked properly stupid with bare legs.

TwllBach · 14/09/2015 20:57

Black tights since beginning of term here too. Love my black tights

BobbinThreadbare · 14/09/2015 21:04

I'm going for it tomorrow. I had floaty trousers on today and I was freezing. Im too far north for this summer/autumn crossover rubbish. Black tights that come up to my armpits will be the order of the day!

mrslebon · 14/09/2015 21:06

I've had the opaques on, but tend to favour navy and plum.

ceeveebee · 14/09/2015 21:09

I'm still wearing navy or nude tights, black just feels a step too far, will try to hang on till October!

AccioGin · 14/09/2015 21:11

First day for me too

MrsBertMacklin · 14/09/2015 21:17

See, this is how I know we didn't have a proper summer this year. It's the first one, ever, that I've not dropped below 40 denier, let alone gone with bare legs.

So it's a 'not too early' from me, as I've been in 60 denier since late August.
