hive mind: the issue of skirts

[anotheranon]

I have a few pretty skirts that I like and are flattering. I also have fairly decent legs from luck and years of fencing.

Unfortunately, I also get cold easily and my shapely legs are perpetually dinged/bruised from aforementioned fencing.

Clearly if I want to wear anything above the knee after September in this life again, I need to [flinch] reconsider tights.

I used to wear them a lot as a teenager, but in the late '80s I found them with a lot of cotton content and was usually wearing them with shorts. I have a couple of nylon pair for emergencies but I hate them because they pinch and my skirts stick to them.

However, times do change and I'm finding tights with cotton content again (I'm considering these and these).

If there's such an animal as a cling-free slip I'll consider that too - I never met a "static free" slip in my youth that didn't generate static like crazy, but if there's some wild new synthetic that actually works as advertised I'd love to know.

Any experiences, recommendations, remedies etc. appreciated.

Danskin dance tights are my 'pantyhose' of choice. They are comfortable, run far less, and do a better job of overall smoothing than most pantyhose.
