Does anyone actually feel comfortable in tights and dresses/skirts in autumn/winter?

[redeyedcat]

I have always felt cold and itchy and just generally uncomfortable. I tried it again the other day and felt so irritated.

Plus lots of coats hang awful if you are wearing a skirt.

Does anyone actually feel comfortable and warm in tights and a dress?

I do like dresses in spring/summer and even tights can be bearable in spring when it isn't too cold. I think the cold contributes to the itchy feel.

Plus lots of coats hang awful if you are wearing a skirt.
I've never experienced this. Which combinations are you thinking or?

Yes I feel comfortable in tights and skirt/dress though more so in socks and boots rather than the tights.

In Europe I learnt that warm tights and a full skirt during the winter, especially in thick snow was a lot warmer than trousers

Yes to dresses with tights, but have to be snag tights. They're great. I'm not a massive fan of a skirt on me, im too short and feel they just make me look shorter. But, if you're uncomfortable, don't wear them?

I usually wear leggings and boots under dresses, feels a lot less itchy / claustrophobic. I often remove the leggings when I get to the office.

Yes, but I wear knitted tights (after a tip on here most of mine are literally school tights, Next age 15-16). I find them more comfortable as well as warmer, closer in feel to wearing cotton leggings.

I hate tights toes, and my toes always go through them. Snag footless tights are a game changer.

Dresses, tights and boots are my favourite work combo. Problem is the cold office air con means I have to ruin the look with all the cardigans and wraps I can muster up.

Yes, I live in skirts and dresses. Other than jeans, I don't wear trousers. I get thick opaque tights or leggings and wear big boots.

I cracked out the opaque tights for work last week. I wear a thermal base layer body over my tights and a dress over the top. Feels warm and comfortable.Ankle boots not shoes The dresses have been midi and coat was full length.

I manage to get through all of autumn and winter without wearing skirts and tights. I'm not sure what the issue is OP - if you don't like it just don't wear it.

Also a jersey dress is warm and soft. What is specifically making you itch? Is it the dress or the tights?

I generally prefer trousers and boots in winter. I agree with you entirely about coats unless it's a short jacket which isn't always practical when it's cold or a massively long full length coat.

I am with you on the tights - they are itchy and restrictive, I can’t tolerate them and haven’t worn any for 20 plus years! I do though wear skirts and dresses in winter as i don’t wear trousers or jeans either (only exercise leggings to the gym).

I wear skirts etc slightly below my knee with boot socks/ over knee socks so theres no gap - and then a good pair of knee high boots.

I can't wear tights for more than half a day. Itchy, crotch sagging, sweaty, restrictive arrggh! I wear leggings under dresses, or long socks and boots. Down with tights!

I wear slips with dresses and skirts if I’m wearing tights. Some tights can be itchy- I’m careful what I wash them in,

I find tights and dresses comfortable. More so than stiff types of jeans for example. I have woolly tights and fleece lined tights for very cold days.

I can't bear tights so I rarely wear a skirt or dress in winter, black leggings and boots under a short stretchy black skirt and casual top is the only exception, I don't feel the cold so jeans and trousers are far better for me.

Yes, I wear skirts more in the winter than in the summer.

I only tend to wear dresses and skirts so am perfectly happy and warm in winter. Also wear snag tights.

You're buying the wrong tights!

Next do some extra high waisted tights I think which are really comfortable.

I agree. But I wish their footless tights came in a few more subtle colours - I don't want neon pink or yellow legs, but grey or a discreet pattern might be nice.
I wear mainly longish dresses with bare legs and trainers or sandals in summer, then with leggings or footless tights and DMs in winter. I'm on the lookout for calf-length slouchy boots , which will then mean I don't have to worry about the gap any more! I find dresses much more comfortable than trousers or jeans.

I always feel more comfortable in skirts and dresses than jeans, trousers etc. Has led to a lot of snarky comments from friends over the years when jeans and a top was the unofficial uniform and they felt wearing a dress or skirt was too dressy (even when it was just a very casual dress). I have sensory issues though and hate rough heavy fabric or anything tight especially around my middle (so jeans with a metal button are a nightmare). I agree you need to find the tights that work for you and that will make a big difference.

But really just wear what you feel comfortable in...don't feel you have to wear stuff that makes you itchy and uncomfortable.

I did until I got the fleece lined type ones which don't have feet and I wear them with socks and boots. I think the material isn't as itchy plus the lack of feet means they seem to fit better.

Excuse the question.. Does ones derriere not get cold?
