Black tights with trainers in June?

12 replies

I'm going out tomorrow night (first time in ages). It's going to be fairly casual so am thinking of wearing black Adidas trainers with tights and skirt.. Firstly are black tights wrong in June? Also are black tights ok with trainers? Help!

I say no black tights after April and before September. Ever. Unless something like a funeral requires it and even then I'd whip them off before the wake.

erm
I don't really think trainers and tights go together.
I'm also inclined to avoid black tights in June. It's lovely and warm we we are at the moment.

I'm very much of the opinion you can wear what you want, if you have the confidence but, if you are asking the question then I'm guessing you want to fit in, so I'd think again. Smile

Thou shalt not wear black tights from May to August

Oh no, don't wear tights. It'll be warm and they will itch, and I bet you'd look better just bare legs. What is your outfit?

Black tights are FINE with trainers. And also fine at this time of year, depending on weather. Have you seen the weather forecast for your area?

I agree with the above. I'm all for comfort though. Nice pair of white trainers might be more summery, bare legs, and fake-tan as necessary?

I do kind of agree about the no tights in summer rule, but was thinking evening wear on a cloudy not that hot day may be fine. I may just sod it and wear jeans instead. Not sure if I can quite manage to bare my legs yet even with fake tan. The skirt is quite short too. Thanks for the advice!

Sounds good to me. I like black trainers and tights. For an evening look i dont see why not. What is the difference between tights, leggings or jeans!

Ignore the calender, check the weather and if it's cool enough, wear the tights. Trainers and tights go perfectly well together.

What nonsense! I wore thick black tights today. It might be June but it was cold and all I could do to not wear my big coat!

I wear black tights (60 dernier) year round. Doesn’t feel too hot.

Well, leggings are not trousers, and I wouldn't wear them in June under a dress or skirt either. Jeans are trousers and different to tights and leggings.

I wouldn't wear patterned harem trousers or light wash boyfriend jeans in November either even though they would likely be warm enough. In reverse, opaques and knee high boots go away for summer.
