Tights - is it too early for black opaques?

[Askinvillarblues]

I’m off to London this weekend to meet up with some friends I haven’t seen in a very long time. Wondering what to wear - I quite fancy wearing a dress but is it too early in the season for black opaques? Think I’ll freeze if I go bare legged 🥶 and I’m not massively keen on nude tights.

It’s too early for me as I don’t feel I need that much warmth yet. It sounds as if you’ve thought it through, do what keeps you comfortable!

It’s freezing in London today - saw a few youngsters with summer dresses and black opaques around and about (well Camden/Regents Canal) very sensible was my opinion!

One person did look like they’d forgotten their cardi though!

Too early for me.

I fished some out to walk my dog around the London streets tonight. Definitely needed them.

Wore mine today. It was too cold here up north to go without.

Too early for me! I’m in trousers.

I'm debating this for tomorrow. I think it's too early but someone I worked with today had a pair on and I didn't think it was at all strange so I feel if you want to wear them them completely appropriate.

I had boots on today :(

I wore them today for work and didn't even consider it might be deemed too early - it was certainly cold enough!

I've been wearing mine since last week. Who decides it's too early? It's freezing!

I had them on yesterday with a fairly thick knee length skirt. Warmed up in the afternoon and I was a bit too toasty!

Ah that’s good to hear that others are wearing them already - thank you for the reassurance that I won’t look totally odd. It does feel odd thinking about fishing them out of the drawer though - it’s only just September and my kids aren’t even back at school yet. What happened to summer?

I had them on yesterday at work with a dress. No sunshine at all here yesterday and definitely cardigan/jacket weather so not too early in my mind!

Depends . Sat is supposed to be 21 and a bit over cast but Sunday is 25 ans sunny, I’d not wear them then,

It’s forecast 21 degrees and partially sunny in London on Saturday, next week in the mid 20s. I won’t be wearing autumn clothes (including opaque tights) until autumn temperatures kick in (generally late September/early October, unless there’s an Indian summer).

I’ve got them on today as I’m going in the office and it’s forecast 18 degrees! 18!! That’s freezing to me! And I can put my boots on with them and not have to tip
Toe across the car park in heels.

I had them on yesterday for work. It was only 12° when I left the house.

I have been wearing them for weeks! I teamed them with my furry boots yesterday. It has been really chilly here.

It's cooler in the mornings, and there was very very fine rain in the air as I walked to the station this morning. But it isn't that cold that I'd want to wear tights - it will definitely warm up during the day. I don't really feel the cold though.

I wore them first time Tuesday I was frozen 🥶!! X

Wear them, you can always take them off in a loo if you’re too hot.

Wear them, you can always take them off in a loo if you’re too hot.

This is an excellent point! Right, I’ll wear them but make sure legs are shaved just in case 😂

School run this morning in London was. Old, I'm not giving my flip flops up yet though!

I would wear them any day of the year if I was cold.
Otherwise, if it's too cold for a dress with bare legs and not cold enough for tights, wear trousers.
