Tights in warm weather

Just wondering how hot does it have to be for you before you go out with bare legs?

The other day I met up with some friends and we were all wearing skirts etc with bare legs apark from one girl and the rest of my friends made a big deal about her wearing tights. I don't really understand why though, maybe she feel cold easily or just wants to? Whatever, but it got me wondering.. what about you girls though?

i prefer to have my legs out even when it's cool. i don't really like tights in general, they're not comfy! also i cringe at my lack of tan at the mo, but i figure if i never get my legs out they will never get tanned :p:
i have icky legs (lots of scars and stuffs) so i always wear tights of some sort just to make me feel better lol

i dont see the problem in wearing tights in hot weather. Usually when i wear tights in cold weather im really cold

anyway theres nothing wrong with wearing tights in summer if youre not hot plus in the evening it always gets colder which is a benefit of wearing tights.

Yeah I like wearing tights in the evning sometimes because it does seem to finish off outfits and make them look that tad more classy doesn't it. But I get too warm easily during the day.. each to his/her own I guess =)

tights are okay. the only problem i have is that they really start irritating and then i feel like i cant wear them for days. i dont know why they irritate, and im guessing it would be even more sticky-ish in hot weather, but i dont really have a problem with them, except of course the irritating in between teh legs :eek:

I assume this is natural/skin colour tights you're talking about for most of the time?

I hate my legs :frown: they're so flabby and scarred up ...... I have to wear tights :frown:
Not really, we wear all colours :biggrin: , I'm not that confident wearing skin colour tights so if i do, i wear knee high socks or something.

Oh I love different coloured tights but I never know what to wear them with. How do you wear yours?
I still wear tights in summer. Don't see the prhttp://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=885250oblem really, they help me feel more confident wearing skirts when I haven't spent hours sorting my legs out. I have horrible pasty, blotchy skin, lots of reddness and bumpy bits so sometimes I can't bare to bare my legs. Obviously not thick winter tights but I tend to wear those m&s body sensor ones that do seem to be a good at not letting your legs over heat when its quite warm.
I always go for black shorts/skirt with dark blue tights or something, I can't go to extreme or my father would complain :o:
I mostly wear tights in the summer too unless it's REALLY hot as I have a problem with my thighs rubbing together at the top and getting very sore. Wearing tights help me out!
I always wear tights. I don't like the feeling of the skin on my thighs sticking together in warm weather. Nice.
i wear tights until it reaches 30 degrees or so! not at all warm enough yet :biggrin:

but i try and make the outfits more colourful. colourful tights or skirts or shoes. feels more summery than dark colours!

though the problem is that if you do that you end up with pale legs when it's time to get them out :frown:

I prefer wearing tights, but it does get to a point when it's just too warm to wear them.....but probably not till about June weather I think.
Where's the best place to get flesh coloured tights from?
