I work in a care home and we are only supposed to wear flat shoes so I wore a pair of boots to work as it is rele wet and windy here today and was just changing my boots to my flat shoes when one of my work colleagues remarked that she should have worn socks as well as was cold, I replied that they werent actually socks and they were actually a pair of wooly tights I had on underneath. She then asked why I was wearing tights under trousers and I told her it was a cold day plus I go outside for a ciggie on my breaks. She then said that wearing tights under trousers is wrong though to be honest I do not see what is wrong with this at all.
How about whether vests should be tucked in or left out? That's just ridiculous Maw! It's the law that vests must be tucked into knickers. Sheesh, I thought everyone knew that!
Would it be considered infra dig If I go into Morrisons with My zebra onsie tucked into wellingtons? I ask, because my neighbour says this should never be done, and further to that anyone who wears a onsie in public should be shot!
I remember a TV feature many years ago when builders and road workers were interviewed to ask if they would consider wearing tights at work, as they'd been proven to increase warmth. Once they knew that the tights wouldn't be worn alone, but would be under trousers, the guys were all for it. (No women workers were included in the interviews).
Why is someone trying to drag plimsolls into this discussion? They are not winter wear at all.
But they are not infrequently a half term issue farNorth.
lemongrove I hope no actual zebras were harmed in the making of that onesie. I think you should be OK in Morrisons or Shoe Zone, but would not risk it in Waitrose.
W11girl what a good idea. I have some expensive woolly tights I can't wear because they are too long. I'd never thought of turning them into long johns. I shall take the scissors to them this afternoon!
Good grief, Lesleyberry67 - has your colleague always been such a nosey parker? Her thorough interrogation of your reasons for dressing as you do would have made Josef Stalin and the KGB proud!
Good grief Margs. Sharon/Lesley were/was only asking if they/she should wear tight undertrousers. Personally I think they sound painful and I don’t think they/she should. But that’s just my opinion ?
Well that's all given me a good laugh as I wait for the tea to cook . I've never worn tights under jeans as they're just too uncomfortable but I did once wear them under a pair of loose trousers. Got out of the car to call at someone's house and OH yelled out the window what's that trailing behind you? Yes - the dreaded tights I'd forgotten were still inside the trouser leg!!
Half term, MawBroon? That has even less to do with the subject than plimsolls!
Wellies, as suggested by lemongrove, are so sensible for this time of year and, paired with a tasteful onesie - zebra, polkadot, zigzag etc - you have a cosy outfit.
Lesley you will have the last laugh in 20 or 30 years time, when your colleague has developed arthritic knees due to cold draughts, while you still skip blithely along (unless the fags get you first, of course.)
