Wearing A Skirt In Winters

Thick woolen stockings can be worn under a three-quarters length skirt. You can take a look in the pantyhose section of your local department store to find thick knitted stockings. However, beige stockings are going to be your best bet, as they look good under almost everything.
- Layer your undergarments to protect yourself against the chilling weather. ‘Invisible pantyhose, with layer knee-high socks over it, can be worn when you are feeling very cold. This will help you keep warm when you step out.
- If you have sweat pants of three quarters length, you can also wear them under a long skirt. Layer invisible pantyhose under the sweat pants for extra warmth.
