Do you remember white tights

Yes, as another teenager in the early 70's, I remember them well.
Another thing I remember wearing but to school with uniform, was grey tights (like the white) but with long white socks over the top of them. Did anyone else do this?

Sorry ... I just read some more of the replies and I see this has already been mentioned!!!

White tights with white Courreges-style boots in the late 60s, how trendy was that! I could afford it, having landed my first "graduate job" in London. Happy days!

I remember them well. They were very trendy. I never had a pair though. I generally wore trousers and tops. I had some embroidered bell bottoms - they were fab!

Yes, I do remember white tights but I always thought they looked 'too cold'. Much preferred the ecru shade - much gentler and looked great against dark dresses and skirts.

I can remember begging my mum to buy me white tights as my DB girlfriend at the time always wore them. This would’ve been 1967/8.

Oh yes! I wore them on my wedding day but these in the photo were called something like porcelain? Hot pants😜

I remember them and thought they were great but like a lot of fashions they came and went.

I wish I could say the same thing about ripped jeans...!

Oh I forgot about those I used to wear them with a black dress I’m sure I looked like a penquin

I had some white tights when I was about 12/13. I wore them proudly, with a pair of wet look sock things that you wore inside shoes to convert them into boots . I'm sure they were as bad as they sound, but (a) it was the early 70s, so worse was yet to come, and (b) if you can't indulge in crimes against fashion at 13, when can you?

Fortunately, no photos of these monstrosities exist.

You must be the same age as me- 66?, I remember the wet look knee highs worn with lace up shoes that made it look like you were wearing boots. Had forgotten all about white tights but definitely wore them in about 1972

I remember white tights came back for a very short time in the 90s.

I also wore white tights at 16 and thought I was the bees knees in my mini going to the dancing in Glasgow dressed to kill. Until my mother commented “yer legs look like ham houghs in thae things”

I vaguely remember white tights but I definitely had white crinkly boots, which kept slipping down so you were constantly pulling them up. I used to spend Saturday afternoon shortening the dress I was going out in that night,then I’d put a coat over it, tell my parents I was off, before they could see how indecent I was. I then moved onto the hippie stage with long skirts, cheesecloth shirts and platform soled shoes. My mum hated any thing I chose to wear but the smelly Afghan coat was my greatest parental disapprovement success!

I had an Afghan that biodegraded at an alarming rate and got smellier and smellier; eventually it just felt apart.

I wore white lipstick and later black lipstick. White stockings and later black tights. During my hippy phase I drew flowers on my face.

My mum hated any thing I chose to wear but the smelly Afghan coat was my greatest parental disapprovement success!

My brother had an Afghan coat too - my DM always remembers it as being smelly but I don't. Maybe I never got close enough.

Another 'smell' she always brings up is my best friend's patchouli perfume, which DM absolutely hated and used to go round with air freshener whenever best friend had been in the house. I didn't like it either but didn't feel the need to freshen the air 😅

I remember wearing white tights in the early 70s. The colour was called Cream Soda. Another popular colour was Sweet Pepper, a very dark tan. I always got them from Littlewoods.

I love that word: ecru.
Like a milky, creamy,beige.
Ecru.

Our school shirts were 'ecru'. I always associate that word with our uniforms.

I was a teenager in the 60’s but don’t recall wearing white tights, possibly because I wouldn’t want my legs to look any fatter than they already were! As a student I did buy a full length double breasted yellow pvc coat. I wore it when I went home one weekend, to the country town where my family lived. My DM couldn’t believe her eyes. She had never seen anything like it!

Our school uniform was long white socks or white stockings with suspender belt but this was early 60s. Once I'd left school, and to this day, I will not wear white 'legs' of any kind!

I don't think tights (AKA panty hose) of any colour were widely available until after the mid 1960s and then only in limited colours.

I am not talking about stage tights of course.

White tights for ballet! And, yes, someone mentioned white lacy tights for fashion. Also, fingerless lacy long gloves were a thing in the 80s. Now wearing cashmere fingerless gloves to stay warm! How times change.

I wore white lace tights in my early teens - I then progressed to ' mink ' tights from.Freeman Hardy Willis - oh the good old days

I have milk bottle legs that don’t tan without the need for white tights but do remember my husband bought me something like a dozen thick white lacy tights in cotton from Liverpool’s George Henry Lee . Didn’t know what to do with them and they practically filled a dustbin liner when we moved house much to the amusement of friends who helped us and saw a heavy bag labelled “Gail’s tights “ . 😀

Nice pic. As I mentioned earlier I had red wet look hot pants with a green apple on the bib.
And I remember having a hairstyle called the shag look in the early 70s.
