Its damn cold here in NYC this winter, and I have taken to wearing shorter shirts. The solution? Thats what a long mink coat is made for. Works very well and I love the look. Do you still wear fur girls?
Yes, hose in this weather should be at least 30 denier. And no peep-toes or sandalettes; closed shoes only.
Since my varicose veins surgeries and overall skin-colored leg tattooing several years ago, I enjoy going without hose in warmer weather. But when we go out for the evening, to church, and special occasions, we'll wear lower denier hose.
Wearing hose all year round is a requirement of my company dress code. I don't mind as I'm usually in air conditioning during the summer
Thats just the start of my company dress code for women- none for men. I'm told "gentlemen don't need to be told how to dress for business". Its also suits or dresses, no pants. limited jewelry, no bare shoulders, and heels all the time. I don't mind though. Its what I would wear anyway.
