Do You Go Bare Legged In The Summer

[Guest Roberta-Belinda]

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,

[Guest Kaylee234]

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.

[Guest Roberta-Belinda]

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.

[Guest Emma Leigh]

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

[Guest Wendae]

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.

[Charlize]

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,

Charlie

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)

Hugs,

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.

[Guest Jaques]

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.

[Guest Michellewhois]

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.

[Guest *Natalie*]

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

[Guest Kendra K]

I went bare legged for the first time ever this week. Not "out and about", just mowing the lawn, but it was outside.

[Guest AmyDeluca]

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

[Guest joan eden]

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.

[Guest actuarylilium]

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

[Guest Sarah1967]

I love being bare legged with a short jean skirt or shorts all year long !!

[Charlize]

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.
