Update- I wrote that I wore nude today because I saw a few very warm days coming up. Well, I went out and it seems that black is what people are wearing. Most were in black today from 19 year olds to mid 40’s. I love black tights. I’ll start tomorrow but what will people wear next week when it will be 80 degrees?

If it’s 80 degrees you can switch back. The fashion police moved to Florida after Labor Day

I switched to opaques (vs nude nylons) yesterday since the weather changed.

Yesterday I wore black (since that matched). Today I'm wearing brown opaques.

What color shoes do you wear with brown tights?

Exactly. When it snows, I wear boots. When it rains, I wear a rain jacket. When it’s cold, I wear black tights. When it’s warm, I don’t. Simple as that!

I wore black to go winter shopping today, I think the rest of the week and the next will be nude because temps will be 70-80s in Lakewood.

Rainy and windy in the Netherlands here. It is 17C which is 62F... I think I switch to black tights this shabbos... Totally over stimulated and tired... I'm now a housecat in my palace. Does the Vaad of Imamother agree I should wear black tights now?

Will I be banned from Imamother for evermore if I admit that I don't own a single pair of tights? And haven't since I refused to wear them anymore around age eight?

I wear long skirts with nudeish knee highs all year. And sandals for as long as I can get away with it.

Nah… this thread is for the people who WANT to wear black tights. You either get it or you don’t…

If that's the biggest flaw they have to overcome, we'll be doing well...

Sandals in the summer and leggings and socks in the winter.

Right, that’s why this thread is really not for you (or elfrida) even though we love you anyway. Same way I wouldn’t really want to open a thread about sandals…

I was wearing black tights, and my sister said "whattt you changed over, no one has!!" but why do I care, I'm cold I wear black, I'm hot I wear nudes or nothing under a midi/long skirt. We gotta stop caring, and just wear what we want

I wore black simchas torah and yesterday. Shimini azeres was warm I wore nude. if it’s 80 next week I’ll wear nude. Why can’t we go back and forth. Someone said once u switch to black can’t go back to nude. Why not?? Who makes these rules?

Can someone explain why black tights are warmer? My tights are all the same thickness regardless of color.

My nude tights are 20 denier, my black tights 80 denier. That's a big difference.
