Tights for work

I work in a corporate office environment where I need to wear tights for work throughout the summer. Any tips or suggestions as to which styles or brands to choose which will keep me respectable but also keep me cool?

Really? I work in a very corporate environment and I've never heard of this. Is someone really going to give you a talking to if they see bare legs?

I'd go without and dare them to say anything.

I like autograph tights in general.

Falaffels - it's unlikely that someone will give OP a ticking off!
But, from my own experience, my legs aren't tanned (more like the colour of corned beef 😂 ) and I'm useless at fake tan so bare legs just don't make me feel professional.

Haven't managed to find any tights that keep me cool, so just** as well our summers aren't always this hot!

Heist tights! Pricey but really really good, can’t praise them enough. No sagging, no digging in. They’re online, next day delivery etc.

I always used to wear tights whatever the weather because it wasn't "professional" not to and I did indeed work for a bank in the 1990s that insisted on it (only long sleeved plain white shirts for men too).

It does seem more acceptable to go without now but it does depend (a bit) on the legs. Gradual tamers are really good now and don't need any skill, as is Sally Hansen Legs, which I consider spray on tights Smile

Newmonth Oh sorry, I see what you mean! I though it was part of a 'women must wear heals' type of nonsense.

In that case I have no useful advice. I've been wandering around with my bright white pins on show today !
