Do You Go Bare Legged In The Summer

I have to say I never go without tights in the summer months. I love the look and feel of tights so much I couldn't dress without them. I have done it occasionally but wearing tights is such an important part of dressing as a girl to me. I usually dress as Roberta at night anyway and find it a bit chilly. I wear a lot of fifteen denier tights in natural and nude, they feel comfy. Interested to know what you girls think,

I have to wear jeans or pants to work, but when I go running or out and about it's shorts. Gotta show off these long legs! Pretty white right now, like Megan says, but maybe they'll get a little color eventually :)

Much as I love my tights and hold-ups, the warmth of summer (excuse me while I laugh about any warmth in a British Summer) means I leave off the leg wear. I under-dress at work all through the winter but the warmer summer is too much for that. But at home, hot days are a great time for light, floaty skirts and airy blouses! In themselves they are a delight to wear. I have a few really light, long skirts and they are just great in the sun! How do girls feel about that?

Hi Hon,

You know, I used to wear pantyhose a lot years ago, but I no longer wear them. Clean shaven smooth bare legs is the only way I go :)

That is what makes me feel good. Pantyhose used to make me feel good. What makes you feel good is what is important.

love

For me its bare legs all summer long unless its for something formal then will wear pantyhose/tights. Sumer /warm months its shorts, skorts, skirts, carpi/aka clam diggers and sometimes a dress or cover up for me. While my mug( face) is revolting my legs are awesome as I have been told by many. So since thats all I have to work with darn it I am gonna show them off.

As much as I love wearing tights I don't think I would wear them in the workplace if I was a gentetic girl, unless I was a nurse I think I would be comfy in black tights whatever the weather. If I was in an office environment though I think I would settle for trousers sandals and painted toe nails.

I,m with Eve on this one .... I,m not a great lover of wearing tights (sorry Roberta)...though I love my knee highs (must be my age)...but I to love to wear floaty skirts and dresses in the Summer...though I will still wear my knee highs or Stockings depending on the the length of the skirt and the warmth of the temperature...in Britain sufficient warmth to go without either really is a rare event

Hose is a bit uncomfortable here in Florida during the summer yet I do sometimes when I know I'll be in AC contolled areas.

Bare legs rule white or not. i must admit however to occasional use of a bronzing tanning lotion. As a fair girl i need a little help to stop from looking like i'm sick but i love a light skirt and bare all the way up. Breezes are great!

Hugs,

Often go bare legged in the summer. I wear Capri pants or skirts. So my legs are white ;) . Many real life females seem to be the same, very few have tanned legs. I tried some tan spray on and the product rubbed off on the edge of my Capri pants. Left white streaks on my legs near the end of the pant cuff. Will wear hose with a dress if going out to support group meetings or restaurants.

Have to second what Wendae said. Here in FL it's just too hot. Wore a pair the other day under my girl jeans for a friends daughters graduation and it was almost too much even with most of the day being spent in the A/C.. now If i could just shave my legs and not have them get all bumpy and irritated i'd be much happier about running around in shorts in the summer months (March thru January in the TB area for those not familiar) :D

I don't have this issue very much when I shave my legs which I do now regularly, I've found that exfoliating in the shower, and keeping my legs moisturized does help prevent this. :)

Shorts and Capri's mostly when I'm not at work during the day and Jeans at work because it is the requirement. I usually wear jeans or Capri's in the evenings when it gets cooler and the 'comfy' shorts all the time around the house.

I always used to go bare legged when I lived as a woman and I still do, I wear mostly shorts as soon as the sun comes out - in Britian the last few years the summers have been awful in that weve not had a lot of sunshine, so we have to make the most of it whilst we can - and ladies, if your legs are white - get a spray tan or DIY with a bottle.

I have to say that for the most part, if you live south of I 10 here in the states, wearing hose of any type is a bit uncomfortable due to the heat. I can only say for myself, I only wear stockings when I need to because they are a little (not much) cooler than being encase in pantyhose from the waist down. I heard other women say the same thing over the years that if you live south of I 10 here in the states Knee highs are the only nylons that we would wear.

I love going bare legged in the summer. Not that we get a summer over here in the UK anymore! Make the most of it I say. We have another 51 weeks to wear hold ups, tights or hose :)

for me im only comfortable under dressing in public right now and full cd in the night. but in the summer months i usually shave my legs and being as normal tights are too hott i like to wear fishnets. its a great compromise. u still get the feeling ur wearing something but it breathes very well. in the winter of course ill shave(oviously lol) and wear tights, always helps keep my legs warm :)

I wrote awhile back that I'd shaved my legs for three years. I think now its more like five.Anyhow, I love smooth legs all year. I feel very fem. Shaving them is fem. My bumps seem to have gone away.I think maybe your skin gets used to it.I think if you want the female experence you have to feel the weather on your legs. Hot and cold.Legs can take the cold pretty well if your walking.Scots and Kilts. Trad. Swiss shorts.

Roberta, I'm exactly the same as you: I absolutely love my tights :) I always wear them outside the house now (along with my underwear), and I'm planning on buying my first bra soon!

Since I only started in the last couple of months or so, I've never dressed up during the summer. Especially if our Summer is like it was last year (4/5 weeks in a row with warm temperatures and not a cloud in the sky), I plan on getting a skirt. Whether my tights will accept being taken off in favour of said skirt, I don't know right now :) All I know is, right now I'm loving this new experience and am just going to experiment with a bit of everything to see what I like!

Lots of Love, Lily xxx

We have had a cold winter so knee highs or at least socks help keep me warm. This girl is mostly just trying to be comfortable now. Fortunately style allows for that. Only T loaded young men seem to be running around with bare legs this winter and most of them are quite hairy.

Hugs,

Charlize

I'm looking forward to the summer.

I have to be very careful in the sun as I burn easily and do not tan without extensive steady buildup over months which I don't have time for so am out showing skin for short periods only. This is usually limited to times when I swim in the sea, but I am looking forward to wearing the shorts I created from a pair of jeans (very short lol), perhaps with a t shirt (I have a short one - almost cropped - the combination will perhaps be a little young for me but she who dares? lol). I hope it gets warm enough or it will be a short outing!

I can live with the heat and except when swimming wore skinny jeans most of last summer. These days I am wearing leggings more often and will progress to tights (more openly than under leggings etc as I have this winter).

I go bare legged in the summer. I do so in the winter if it's isn't too cold.

      Yeah, I am grieving the man I "should" have been. He will never exist, especially not in my youth. But I don't know how to healthily go about it instead of fixating on the life that could have been.

      Sorry it took me a while to respond!    I would like to get to know you. :) I only have mental disabilities. Schizoaffective disorder, depression, and anxiety. The last two are severe and very treatment-resistant. I did have physical problems for some time, but it was caused by an antipsychotic medication (Invega). It basically crippled me, muscle weakness/fatigue, basically could barely walk (used mobility devices) and doctors were useless since they didn't suspect the medication I was on! I've finally ditched antipsychotics (hopefully for good, unless my symptoms come back). I usually don't share like this, especially in person, but hey, I'm anonymous. :)   I'm not expecting reciprocation at all btw, these things are personal. There is more to us than disabilities, so tell me about yourself if you still wanna talk!

      thanks for the insight ... good to know things are being well thought-out ... it is no easy topic for sure, as many of us on here have been wrestling with this stuff for years and decades...

      @KymmieLWOW! He is absolutely horrible! Definitely one of the worst boss's. 
    • KymmieL
      Well the boss is at it again. They misplaced a work order thinking I was the last one who had it, yesterday morning. I know where it is. Last thing I did with it was put it back on the counter. He accused me a couple times of having it last and put it somewhere. Come to find out, the other boss (his wife) had taken it. she put the work order paper in the recycle box.   Has he apologized about the accusations. He!! no. I am waiting for hadies to get frost bit.   So that was my morning.  But it is finally warming up here. currently 63 and windy.   Hugs, Kymmie

      I am gender fluid, leaning heavily towards trans masc. My eldest is male and despite all the "stuff" we deal with with him (autism, speech delay, etc) I found him to be easy to raise. When my middle kid (female) was born, literally the first words out of my mouth were "I don't know how to raise a girl!" And I really felt I didn't know. She showed me. She's still showing me how to exist as comfortable and completely secure in her gender expression. It is entirely awe inspiring to see all three of them feel so settled in their bodies in ways that I never, ever felt or feel to this day.
    • Ashley0616
      That sounded like an awesome opportunity to dress as your actual self. I have to say I'm a little jealous lol. I never got compliments from people and definitely haven't been kissed. I can imagine that part was still really nice and boosted your confidence.

      I've been absent so much lately I feel as if I'll never catch up. Too much going on in our lives that's kept me away from the keyboard. and limited my time as "me."   I am so looking forward to your post on how you arrange your life. I know that I won't ever be able to fully transition so finding some happy balance is crucial for me.
    • Sally Stone
      Mae, you are so sweet for making this comment.   Desert Fox, you are so right.  I always knew that even though I was part-time, my motivation was way more complicated than a simple desire to wear women's clothes.   Your question is a timely one because in my next post, I am going to talk about how compartmentalized my life is, and the short answer is yes.  I have friends who only know Sally, friends who only my male persona, and a rare few that know both.

      @EasyE With my background in Behavioral Sciences I do go to actual conferences for the medical and psychological professionals that deal with Trans Youth, and in those conferences, the ethics of "too fast" versus "too slow and restrictive" are a heavy concern.  There is very thoughtful sharing among the participants for making professional judgments that the therapist is comfortable with without being afraid of what is "too soon" or "not soon enough" to advance to medical prescription therapies. The ethics of what constitute reasonable caution or unreasonable delay are deeply at play in those situations, with the idea to prevent harm while alleviating the patient's stress and other issues.  This type of conference fulfills Continuing Education license requirements that most states and other areas have.  From them the therapist may seem to "speed up" their evaluation process, but it is based on the accumulated experience of colleagues, just as is true in other professions and yes, even trades.

      That's wonderful news!! I took our pup in for her Vet check today - perfect. She slept 7 hours last evening and is coming along really well with her house breaking and crate training.   I know you'll have some excitement with a new Boxer!!
