Is it too late in the year to wear tights with a dress?

    I'm off out at the weekend just to a pub/club.I bought a new dress during the week but feel its a little short for bare legs(well short on me as Im 5ft 9) and also I have a small patch of dermatitis on my leg,there since I was pregnant,so I'm a little self conscious about that.The last time I was out in March I wore tights,as did most people,but I was thinking maybe I couldnt get ayway with them in May?This is the dress Im wearing(with a red belt instead though)and I was thinking of just wearingblack 10 denier like I usually do: http://www.warehouse.ie/fcp/product/fas ... ress/11583
    I just dont want to end up looking stupid and the only girl in the pub dressed like its still winter(even though it may aswell be is so cold!)

    I went to town yesterday with 30 denier tights on and my legs were frozen :) It's not properly summer yet at all. Maybe to give the dress a summery feeling you could wear bright tights, maybe red ones to match the belt?

    Tights is your best option, i'm against fake tan/bare legs after too many drink spilling incidences... Oh plus dress is fab!

    Fab dress tights will be lovely. You could wear leggings either.

    Leggings would totally take away the look of the dress. Tights would be wicked. I've tried that dress on, it's gorgeous!

    Coloured tights are a nice alternative to black and really brighten up a dark outfit. definitely not too late in the year to wear tights ill have mine on tomorrow night with my new dress :D

    It's freezing out today! Coloured tights would be lovely with that, I wore a black minidress with red tights out last weekend and got no end of compliments on the outfit. Tights are your friend.
