Have you switched yet? If not, when do you plan on changing from black to skin colour?
Today's warm day took me by surprise so I'm still in black.

Did you never learn Hilchos Tights in school or sem?
The Halacha clearly states that when one only wears black tights as long as one is saying Mashiv Haruach, I.e., from Shmini Atzeres until 1st day pesach.
Bedieved, over Sukkos and Pesach one may wear either.
Bshaas Hadchak, (if the Met Office have declared an official Heat Wave or in case of a Named Storm, or if there are no clean tights in one's drawer), one may wear the tights not of that season, however one should be aware that they may get Stares or Odd Looks from Family, Neighbours, Friends and Colleagues.
There is, however, a machlokes about a leap year, ask you LOR(ebbetzen) for more details.

I hate skin colour.
Number 1 I need to shave,
No 2 my legs are fat and look so much better in black
No 3 they are super uncomfortable , tear in a minute and make all my skirts look shorter,
And then I need to change my shoes to ones that go with skin.
Ugh
Exhausting.
Plus I just saw a 9 year old wearing my summer white sneakers.
Anyone else feel the same?

Yes, I definitely relate! My 8 year old neighbour is already wearing skin colour tights 😮

Aha so if you follow that, you never have this most troublesome Shayla of When To Change!
Just thinking this could go in that list of things that we say all the time that sounds completely bonkers to non-jews..... "have you changed tights yet?" ... although we have explained the halachos briefly twice a couple of non Jews in work

In Israel in my community you see some of them wearing at the age of 3.
DD is turning 7 soon and one of the last ones if not last in her class not wearing, she was begging me from last year so I bought her now, strictly for Shabbos and warned her when we visit family in England they are staying in Israel!
How I miss the ability of being able to stay in black tights past Pesach and change back before Sukkos. Tomorrow is a cold day and all I could think about was how I will be able to wear black tights for the day.

Oy I can't imagine a 3 year old wearing skin colour tights! My daughter wears one high socks and ankle socks still. She's 8 but short for her age. Cold tomorrow? In Israel? Your cold is probably our hot

Just had this discussion regarding Lakewood women on a Lakewood thread! I love how this is a universal concern.
The consensus was in Lakewood that half switched and the rest are loving black as long as possible since the warm weather is not consistent.
However, I’ve been told that in Lakewood the correct time to switch is on lag baomer (and switch back to black after Yom Kippur- can’t wait 😊)
Bottom line- no one wants to be “socially off”!

Yeah it's a bit random here as well. My mother was wearing skin colour today, I'm in a maxi skirt with socks (love this the best!) and a lot are still in black but it was really quite hot here in Manchester today 😎 but evenings are cold, and tomorrow could be cold again, so it's a bit all over the place at the moment. I'd say by lag b'omer most are wearing skin colour.

Funny how you call it skin color
In tri state area it's called beige tights, nude, sheer tights, or pantyhose
