Anyone still wear tights with dresses in winter?

[LostInClothes]

I haven't seen much of it out and about for years, my brain can't picture it as easily now!
I do love a warm jersey dress in colder months although a few are now retired at the back of wardrobe. Perhaps they don't work as well with modern accessories, etc?

I started wearing cord trousers mostly in winter but am getting a bit bored.

I wear tights all year round. Sheer in summer and mostly plaques in the winter. Makes my legs look lovely.

This. Who wears bare legs in winter?

I hate tights. Uncomfortable, itchy and always seem to be falling down...

Instead I wear boots with skirts and dresses.

I did actually buy some skirts to wear for autumn for the first time ever so will give that a go thanks.

We all hate those types of tights

I buy Snag tights though they don't do that

Uh sure. My DD has taken to wearing her old woollen school tights with her mini skirts at uni (up north).

I've never liked tights though in my youth I suffered them - wearing a skirt was much more common then. Most of my colleagues wear trousers or leggings, and some wear the latter with dresses in cooler weather. I mostly only wear dresses in summer with no tights but occasionally wear winter dresses - with thicker tights or leggings. Can't stand the way thin tights feel / fall down / cling to a skirt (yes I have one waist slip which I wear about once biannually). I am so glad that now trousers are considered ok to wear in most situations as that suits me just fine.

But what do you do in winter for skirts and dresses! I’m intrigued as I loathe
tights but love skirts!

I really think some posters aren’t quite sure what opaque tights are…. They’re the thick ones not the see through ones

I was wondering the same thing.

I live in black tights and midi dresses in winter, I know so many women are the same. Baffled by your question.

With a maxi dress in winter you can wear a good chunky sock and boots, I think that looks quite good. Anything shorter needs tights, the chunkier the better for me. I think some of the lower denier tights look a bit dated, so they’ll probably be fashionable this autumn winter.

Black tights feel wrong to me and don't go with my clothes. I'm wear dark grey. And I've finally bought a silk slip so that I can wear my dresses in winter without the skirts riding up my tights a I walk. Dresses are extremely comfortable, and I have two that are made of a cotton and wool mix. Can't wait to get into them!

What else would you wear on your legs with a dress in winter?

Not thin tights, but I do quite like wearing black or colourful opaques with dresses in winter. I like Snag tights and M&S sometimes have some fun colours too, although they probably haven't got them in yet.

I was very surprised last week in London to notice no women with shorter skirts and bare legs at all. Either maxi/midis or short with black tights. In boiling hot weather! It’s bare leg season in Yorkshire even but the black tights were out in Central London.

What else would you wear on your legs if not tights?

Oh don't be so obtuse, I mean everyone here tends to wear jeans or trousers ffs.

are you drunk?

As you can see I posted that when not wearing my reading glasses.

I saw several young women wearing black, sheer tights in central Edinburgh.

I saved this image from Instagram just today…
I have a bin of tights black navy grey burgundy I have been hanging onto for when they become more stylish again. I don’t like a really opaque tight I prefer some sheerness to them even in black/ grey. Tights make it all work…warmth hold the tummy skirt slips easily over them and boots zip up easily. If yours fall down you are wearing the wrong size or old tights

I love tights and dresses in the autumn and winter, it's such an easy outfit.

Never black tights though, I prefer grey or navy for work, the brighter the better for outside of work.

TBF I dont see many women in dresses anytime of year round here. It tends to be those over 60ish.
I cannot wait for autumn though to get all my dresses out. I can't do bare legs because of varicose veins so as soon as the weather turns I'll move from opaque tights to thermal ones. Then in winter leggings and thermal leggings.
I just love layering cute summer dresses with tights, cosy cardigans or fabulous coats in the cooler weather.

Yes, just recently bought dresses to team up with tights and boots. Mainly for winter and autumnal weather.
