For those of you in hot weather right now are you wearing leggings?

Debbie

The reason I ask is because I have new tunics to wear with leggings that would be cool on top, but would my black leggings be hot and look funny in this 90+ degree weather?

I re-read Angie's original leggings post and it says to think of them as an accessory and if that is the case,I should be wearing the heck out of them!

They should not be any hotter (I would not think) than denim clamdiggers!

Thanks for your take on this.

Absolutely, Debbie. Cropped cotton leggings are the same as cotton clams, and I'm not challenged with the nylon ones either.

I think that there is a huge heat misconception when it comes to how warm leggings are. The longer ones are obviously warmer and I wouldn’t wear those past 80 degrees, but the cropped ones are 85 to 95 degree options for me – no problem. As long as I wear a sleeveless frock on top, I’m good to go. I might be weird but I do not feel the heat quickly. I have no resistance to the cold.

Frocks are the coolest and brezziest item in the world, so that’s why I refer to leggings as “keeping you warm”. They *will* make a frock feel warmer, especially necessary in arctic AC. Hope that helps.

Oh no- I don't wear leggings in the summertime. But I live in the desert, and 90's is "cool" for us. We had a day last week that my outside thermometer was reading 118. I wear as little as possible in the summertime- strappy sandals and cotton dresses mostly.
