Jane Elliot Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'm freezing all the time. I like to wear skirts with boots a few times a week in the wintertime, but I cannot keep warm. Are there non-itchy wool (or other) tights? Where can I find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I love the ones I got at Hanna Andersson. I don't know if these are exactly like the ones I have, which are very thick, because I haven't purchased any for a while. Also, their wool socks are the absolute best! I found some tights at TJMaxx that I also wear a lot. Our church is kept so cold during the service that I either need heavy tights or a blanket thrown over my legs if I wear a dress to church.

J-rap Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'd say instead of tights, go with leggings. You can get styles that are very fitted -- almost looking like tights -- but in general they are thicker and warmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Silk long underwear is the way to go. It's warm, light, and comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 The Vermont Country Store has merino tights that are warm and not itchy. I second the leggings suggestion, though. I wear leggings and boots under skirts all winter. And it doesn't get nearly a cold here as it does there. You want the lighter weight, snug ones, though, not the ones intended to replace pants with a tunic top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTMCassandra Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I wear dresses daily. On regular winter days I wear capri leggings and smooth-knit knee socks under them. On very cold ones I wear silk underwear bottoms with wool tights from Vermont Country Store over them so the tights will not be itchy. On a super, super cold day (like if we are going to go to Leavenworth, WA and be outside all day), I have been known to throw on leggings and a second pair of socks over THAT. These measures are usually sufficient to keep me toasty under any dress. Oh, and for winter, I wear a lot of denim and corduroy that cut wind pretty well.

Jane Elliot Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 A question for those of you who suggested leggings: Do you wear these with knee-length skirts (so that they are peeking out between the boots and the skirt)? Or do you only wear leggings with a longer skirts (so that the leggings aren't showing)? Thank you for all these suggestions, everyone. And, I especially appreciate the links.

WTMCassandra Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I only wear longer skirts, so the leggings never show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are on sale for a decent price. Thanks! Our church is kept so cold during the service that I either need heavy tights or a blanket thrown over my legs if I wear a dress to church. Exactly. This is my problem, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I bought my daughter levante wool tights from Mytights.com she never complained about them itching, and she was wearing them everyday in the winter. Most places I found were in the UK. I also needed tall sizes, and levante was one of the few I found that offered them in wool. plain, ribbed, and colors.
