I think they changed that rule because so many people didn't like it, but I've noticed that adults already usually wear tights instead of socks.

They got rid of the rule as far as I know, but I wear tights anyway. I'm 22 and I would just feel silly in the little white socks. I know that some people love them, but I love my tights. They make my legs look more closed at the very least, but I just feel more comfortable in them. Wear what you feel best in, because as I said, I believe they reversed the rule.

Yeah they repealed the tights rule, but you can wear tights if you feel more comfortable if in them. I have noticed that a lot of adults wear tights instead of socks...

I think older girls look nicer in tights, especially if they're on the heavier side. Of course there are girls in their twenties and thirties who have beautiful legs who might look great in socks, but most of us are mere mortals...

I like black tights for performances...
But for feis I wear skincolor tight without foot and socks.
I feel a lot more compfy with tights and my legs look a lot better then without...I'm not that young anymore

But for feis I don't wanna wear black tights because your feet and legs can't be seen that well...I think!

But I would never go without tights

Yep, me too! But once you are over 18 in CRN, then you wear tights!

For the most part I prefer socks, but with certain people and dresses I think tights look better.

I prefer socks most definitely. I've hated wearing tights for as long as I can remember. I hated when I had to dress up which meant that I had to wear tights. Now when I dress up I wear either thigh-hi's or knee-hi's.

I always get very hot in tights then I get mad, I hate the heat. I don't know why but when I wore tights I would feel like I was being choked. Maybe that sounds weird but that's how I feel.
