Dresses in this weather - tights or bare legs?

[Askinvillarblues]

I really want to start wearing some of the lovely dresses in my wardrobe and get away from the jeans I’ve been wearing all winter... but I feel the cold 🥶. If you are wearing dresses at the moment, how are you keeping warm? Opaque tights, nude tights or just embracing it and going bare-legged? And if you are wearing tights, what shoes are you wearing? I’ve got all my trainers out but not sure they would work with tights...

@Askinvillarblues You wear them however you want to wear them and don't worry about others! Id rather put tights on than be cold and Dr Martens!

I hate tights personally, they always end up feeling twisted or saggy or something else irritating. I wear leggings in the winter but it's too hot now so bare legs for me.

Bare legs always! I’m 23 though

I’ve been doing a mix of all three depending on the weather. Bare legs and long dress yesterday but in the later afternoon it did get cold. Black opaques last week have moved into nudes this week. Think midi dress with black leather jackets and trainers and yes nude tights. Normally this time of year I’ve moved onto boots and bare legs but I can’t seem to get out of my trainers and they don’t cover up enough leg like my boots would.

If you’re cold, wear tights of course!

Everyone’s different. I don’t feel the cold so I’m okay having my legs out most of the year. I do get hot quickly in summer though - I used to see people commuting to work in a full suit and coat in July and think how???

Oooh yes, I could wear my DMs - great idea. Dress and tights it is then tomorrow 🥳 ...nude rather than black for sunny but chilly days?

You need to get some Snag tights- absolute game changer!

Tights until at least May here! I really feel the cold though (and have done since my teens, so age has nowt to do with it IME)

With the weather at the moment, tights in the morning then bare in the afternoon!

It is way too cold to not wear tights! I'm still wearing coats

I'm not ready to take my thermals off yet. The sun shines, but the air is still really cold.

Tights.

It’s bloody freezing here, just the thought of bare legs makes me shudder.

I've been wearing long mid- calf length dresses with chunky boots and I haven't been cold yet! I think if they were above the knee I would go for tights!

Purely weather driven and sometimes change as the day goes on.

Secret leggings here. Great for midi/maxi dresses. Just cut them/fold them to just above the length of your dress and no one will know.

@dinodiva - That would be too many layers for me. Snug though!

Tights! Nude ones for smart of thin black opaques. I don’t particularly feel the cold - except my legs and feet. If they get cold I am desperately uncomfortable and get horrible cramps in my calf muscles! I wear knee high socks under trousers all winter to prevent this, or thick tights under skirts. In the summer it has to be around 25 degrees before I go bare legged or wear sandals. I’m just weird, I suppose. My mum has the leg cramp thing too, no doctor has ever been able to explain it to either of us but I find keeping legs warm and taking magnesium supplements works for me.

Barr legs from April-September

I love to feel the sun and air on my legs, free the legs!

But I do live in the sunniest/warmest corner of the U.K.!

I'm still in leggings. Its not that warm lol

I wear tights with dresses most the year round! I wear woolly ones in winter and I the summer will switch to thin black ones. Nude is no good for me because I'm not white and hardly anyone makes inclusive 'nude' tights. I have some Adidas Hu trainers which go really well with dresses and tights, I also wear my slim Timberlands with dresses.
