When can I start wearing tights?!

[tossmeacigarette]

Same bloody dilemma every year. Sorry if it's already been asked, had a quick look.

I look rubbish in jeans but it's too cold for bare legs. Will I be way too hot in opaque tights?

Not for me yet, but I've certainly seen some women in opaques.

It feels like autumn, go for it!

I wore mine for work yesterday. I was still too cold.

I never stop wearing tights! I have varicose Erin's and I'm very fair. I'm much too self conscious in my work dresses to go without tights.
I love the colder months. In the warmer months if anyone asks I say it's my work dress code. Get those opaque son

In as wondering this too. Was cold in work today and can't be arsed with fake tan any more.

I have to wear tights for work, only been a handful of days this year where I've been uncomfortable. Wore opaques and a long sleeved top today, felt lovely and autumnal.

Erm, never stop wearing them! I wear them in summer too; admittedly the north is cold but sheer tights are a no no and bare legs leaves me without a sock for my safety boots at work.

I'm clearly overthinking it. Tights tomorrow, hurrah!

There's a letter 'r' in the month - therefore you're ok. I do actually live by that rule - madness!

Wore them today, hate having to lose the sandals but it's getting cold.

I wore 40 denier today.
My last pair of skintone tights (yes, I know) got torn this morning so thick black tights it is.

Mine are on - lovely grey marl today, and Chelsea boots.

In Cornwall today - Padstow and area. Still warm and sunny so bare feet still rule! Thank god, hate tights.

There's a letter 'r' in the month - therefore you're ok.
So i can wear tights and eat mussels now.

I wore a ski jacket in July seriously - we were that cold, you are fine to wear tights in September

I wore mine today

Yesterday! Disclaimer - I do live in the Lake District.

Wore mine on Monday and liked getting out the winter work clothes, felt warm and smart, but it was raining when I got up. Like noticing the changing seasons. Bagged up a load of summer stuff for charity today. We'll have a heatwave next lol.

Cracked them out for work today. Lovely .

My boss has a 'no black tights May-October' rule. I think she is bonkers, personally.

I do the same as your boss threesangrias! I don't go cold in those months, just wear trousers instead on a cool day. The reason I do it is that the winter is long and cold and depressing, by April I am
Desperate to get out of opaques so I make sure I def don't wear them
In the summer. It Mentally makes the switch between seasons even if the weather doesn't!

I do feel you, Paintbox!

I don't suit trousers, which is why I have to make that hard call to go into into black tights before it gets cold and wear them until it is definitively bare leg weather .

I wore some today (blue/almost navy ones).

Next step is to shift the wobbly tummy so I can reintroduce jeans!

I wore navy opaques with a sleeveless dress for work yesterday - was a little bit warm in the middle of the day but fine otherwise. Far too chilly first thing to be bare legged!

I do the R in the month thing too, but wear 20-30 denier in April & Sept, and bare legs if it's over 20-22C. But this means i've had a wet summer in cropped trousers, basically.

On a side note, there was a Jess Cartner Morley article about this a couple of years ago, which I thought was interesting.
She's hardline on the issue, but it was odd because it assumed that wearing bare legs over the summer would be taken as a hardcore New York Vogue type power move that said "I get cabs everywhere". I'm sure it is if you're Jess, an upper middle class size 8 fashion editor living in London. But I don't think a bare leg in September would be read the same way in say, Bradford, where it would definitely look a bit more "Rita Sue and Bob Too" and the "classy" move would be to wear black tights.

I'm from Bradford btw, in case anyone thinks I'm being out of order there!
