What do you wear on your legs with skirts

[norstdresses]

Here in Africa I wear socks when I am at work and for the other time nothing. In Germany I use to wear socks as well and when its cold, I wear long dresses and a coat to protect my shoulders. I have never worn tights or leggins under dresses and I never have cold, even in winter (Europe winter)

Tonight I am watching an old movie with my wife, as I browse the net with my Kindle Fire. I am wearing some warm black leggings, a plain gray t shirt, and some old black leg warmers, pulled over my feet for warmth, with just the tips of my toes showing. My nail color of the week? "Peach Daquiri". That's my report... and the leggings feel amazing. I sawed and split a pickup load of red oak this afternoon and now don't have the energy to make a fire. I will probably fall asleep before the film is finished.

In warm wearer, nothing, just sandals.

In cooler whether, leggings or knee-high socks.

I am quite happy with the extraordinarily longer thigh highs of sockdreams.com. They stay up with me as a tall guy of 194cm.

I tried a pair of these and they're great. Just the ticket for retaining some warmth in cold weather without sacrificing the freedom of going regimental. I'm 5' 11" 180 lbs and they stay up pretty well. For prolonged or vigorous wear, though, you may want to consider a garter belt.

BTW, if it matters, male garter belts are standard equipment for ice hockey players. Here's an example:

Cool socks! Check out page three in the "Burning Man" series of socks for what appears to be a male shaped model in unmistakably a Utilikilt. Good show Sockdreams. I might place an order.

Perhaps you will come up with a new look, Taj. When I have seen men in Utilikilts they have been wearing shorter ones.

I may be the person to blame for that one. Back in 2005, I mentioned to the founder of Sock Dreams that the next time they came up to Seattle, they might want to visit Utilikilts. Sure enough, they did. Her husband bought one and is the guy they use for the Utilikilt sock pics. I'm also partially guilty for the reason why Utilikilts carries some of the socks they do. Handed out a bunch of business cards to my coworkers when I worked there.

There's nothing wrong with that, and congratulations for it. It seems the relationship has been a bit of a win for all involved.

With skirts and kilts, I'll either go bare-legged, wear sheer hose [suntan or black], or opaque tights [black, gray, dark blue, olive green, or red], depending on how I feel and what I think looks good. Quite often, if I'm going out in public, I'll take the time to 'mix-and-match' my clothes and take a look in the mirror to see if what I think looks good... actually is!

When I'm on stage playing with bands, I won't hesitate to wear sheer hose with my black Utilikilt!

Since all the MUGs I own are either ankle length or else below the knee to mid-calf, I wear either no socks (usually with sandals) or else regular halfway-between-ankle-and-calf socks with my ankle length skirt or thobes and knee high socks with my two calf length skirts (one of which I got at Goodwill for a quarter just last week...plus it's PURPLE! SCORE!)

...plus it's PURPLE! SCORE!

Purple is much underused by guys and needs to be revisited. One of my favourite skirts is purple and I keep trying to find a purple waistcoat. (Unfortunately, purple waistcoats seem to sell out quickly so one need to jump on 'em before they go.)

When I'm going outside I wear small-socks and All-Stars.

Nothing beats a great pair of L'eggs!

Above 0 degreesF. I wear tights (pantyhose). Below 0 cotton spandex leggings. Both with heavy kilt hose.
