Is it bad manners to attend a funeral bare-legged in hot weather?

As long as your legs look ok - no knobbly varicose veins or lots of bristly dark hairs or worse- go bare legged!

Greyduster, I am so much of your opinion! But OP asked for a reason.
Most funerals I go to, I wouldn't have to think about it - I know what the close family would think. And I have been to all sorts of funerals, as have many of us I expect.
But if I was going to say, an ex-colleague, or someone I sat on a charity committee with, or, as I did not long ago, my dad's former boss....well I wouldn't know and I would err on the side of formality.

Ever since I envied Princess Diana’s bare legs at a Buckingham Palace garden party while I was sweltering in tights I have always been of the opinion that comfort trumps etiquette. And as many of our mothers would have said, “Nobody will be looking at you”.

Perfectly fine- but best to not have skirt too short or show too much clevage, etc.

it is fine to go bare legged.

I was going to suggest trousers but Baggs beat me to it!

Go bare and feel comfortable. I would.

No, not bad manners at all. Who needs beastly tights in warm weather.

No not at all...People there for the deceased loved one and their family..Dont imagine anyone will notice your legs

No not bad manners

Its just me then! For some reason I wouldn't dream of going to a funeral without the dreaded rights on. Sheer natural coloured in the spring and summer or darker with nice black patent shoes in autumn and winter.
There's just no reason for it and I wouldn't dream of looking at anyone else's legs to see if they were bare or not.

It depends on who is judging you and whether or not you care.

When we held a funeral recently I didn’t care what people wore - I was just heartened that so many came!

If you're really worried (as opposed to pretending it's a potential problem), wear trousers.

No.

No. If the people at the funeral would be looking at your legs and commenting, the bad manners would be all theirs.

I loathe tights and could not envisage any event when
I would wear them.
I think the so-called royal etiquette that royal women must always wear tights or stockings is ridiculously outdated and I'm very pleased to see younger members don't always comply.
(I'm sure Diana sometimes went barelegged too. )

The last time I wore tights was to a funeral! It was December and freezing cold. I wore a coat too. As others have said, who would be looking at your legs anyway.

I went to the funeral of a friend last year on a very hot day and didn't wear tights.
As DH said, "no-one will be looking at you".

Wear what you think is right.
I think you feel uncomfortable at the thought of being bare-legged at a funeral, (a formal occasion) which is why you have asked the question, so why not have an emergency pair in case at the last moment you feel they are necessary.

I went to a funeral about 2 months ago and no one was wearing black. Everybody was wearing ordinary clothes, even the close family - all were neat and tidy and no one was scruffy.

I wouldnt have thought it was bad manners at all.

In my view, the fact you are attending is more important than whether you are wearing tights or not.

Honestly, it depends on your relationship with the deceased and their close family. I think that if you know them well, and know that they are not formal people, then you wouldn't be asking! I wouldn't expect anyone to be uncomfortable at any funeral I had any say in.

So, if you do know them well and have any doubts, wear the tights - you can always take them off later.
If you are going for some sort of obligation to someone you don't know well, can you contact someone a bit closer to ask?

And - always trust gransnet for a different way of looking at the problem - I would wear loose-ish dark trousers (not sure if that's an option)

Hope it goes well

Some tights/stockings are so sheer you wouldn’t know person was wearing any. Having said that I honestly couldn’t be fussed at what folk were wearing. Times thankfully have changed. Wear what you want and are comfortable with.

No, not a problem. Not sure why you brought Meghan into this though.
