The past few days I combined my skirt with a pair of 50 den Oroblu tights (brown, blue and black). And this is very comfortable. even went out shopping in this outfit!

The thick tights are out again. This year we have had the transition from hot 20+ degree weather to cold low teens very literally overnight so the effect is felt more. 22 degrees, 12 degrees, 20 degrees and between 10 and 15 degrees ever since. I'm sat now in a dark blue cord skirt and thick black tights. I tried sheer black holdups and they weren't warm enough!!!! It's now cold and raining.

I prefer shorter skirts, so right now it's thick black tights under a black cargo skirt. When summer comes, the bare legs come out.

I'm all for fashion freedom - in our personal lives. In work time, I'm not for fashion freedom but I am for fashion equality. I hope the distinction is clear.
In professional life, we wear uniforms. For men, it's business suits. For women - well, it used to be business suits but that's been eroded somewhat. I am happy for fashion restrictions to be placed on people at work but these restrictions have to be fair and equitable.
You mean dresscode equality. The professional area is part of your personal life too and if your work is what matters, there should not be rediculous dresscodes except for a rational reason like safety and stuff. Choose your workplace wisely. You don't abolish irrationality and let it run you over afterwards.

If you are happy wearing a skirt, Then why not wear tights?
Actually, There are two major suppliers that I know who sell "Mens Tights". These are not womens tights sold to men.
Comfilon, in the US and Legwear 4 men in Liverpool in the UK.
Their range of tights are broad enough to please most guys.
For me, When it is warm, then I wear the same with skirts or shorts, Bare legs. When it is cold, I wear tights and often with jeans.
As most of my skirts or sarongs are knee length, I prefer the Adrian Grid tights from Legwear 4 men in the UK.
With my utilikilts which are really getting tight on the waist I used to wear short socks,
I wear sheers under jeans like long johns.
Thats me.
Have you ever tried to oder directly from Adrian in Poland? There is no refer to B2B only. You can order from meinestruempfe.de too.

To me tights are unisex. I don't need mens tights. Now the weather has deteriorated I combine my denim skirt with a marine 20 den 'jeans' corlored tights. Got a lot of compliments for that.

I tried not wearing tights when out hiking in a skirt recently. My thighs are rather thick, so the chafing normally mitigated by a thin layer of nylon was too uncomfortable for me. I wear tights under every skirt. I prefer a longer-than-traditional kilt (which I have to find in woman's wear) when in public in part to conceal the fact that under my kilt socks I'm wearing tights.

As Joe average, you can buy tights from da women's department. At 190cm+ you need men tights. You have to compare apples to apples in case of men tights to women tights, cuz men tights tend to be good or HQ.

I have quite a different view on that; there are many brands that provide tights for people 190 cm+. Otherwise a good (girl)friend one mine (1.98 cm) would have to visit men's stores to buy tights and fortunatley for her: this is not the case

Availability is the issue here. Oversize thigths are considerably rare in stores. Men's store

Other than that, there is no difference in pricing for a similar product.

Another issues is, that women from 190cm ongoing are proportioned differently and the tights tend to slip at the hips. Some brands might work but at 24,00€ I opt for Adrian, which is considerably cheaper.

My wife bought me a pair of opaque tartan patterned tights the other day. She said I should wear them with my black utilikilt.

In the winter I am more likely to wear a long skirt than a short one with some sort of tights or panty hose. I don't think regular socks look at all out of place with a skirt; afterall, I am wearing men's shoes, so men's socks seem like the logical choice. Now if I were really trying to look as much like a woman as possible (which I am not), then I suppose pantyhose would make sense. Ditto for shaving legs. Shaving legs just seems way too much bother; men who wear shorts never shave their legs so why should wearing a skirt or dress change that? The only pair of pantyhose I own is part of a halloween costume.
Hola mucho gusto; yo uso medias a la rodilla y son muy cómodas. Cuando hace mucho frió, solo uso un saco, o ( chaqueta) o unas mangas para los brazos. Estos vestidos son muy comdos y abrigados

As the daytime temperature is now dropping nearer to 10c, I have shifted from wearing socks with my suit, to 40 denier opaque tights. They are M&S Silky Soft in black, and their shine makes for a smooth interaction with my trousers - that is, no tugging.
This will now be my default mode until about April next year. Luckily I have lots of black M&S opaques!
