@SilleeMee Yes, I've seen that, too...in the gym, but to me only appropriate for exercising, not "street wear" and definitely not on a middle aged woman...IMHO.

I've been wearing shorts since March. No one in Arizona would wear them with tights cuz you would roast.

When I was a child back East, we used to wear wool shorts with knee socks (and usually penny loafers) in fall.

that was my first thought; she needs to wear compression socks/hosiery.

Yesterday while out I saw a middle age woman wearing khaki colored shorts, shorter than bermuda length, with dark green tights. It was not shorts weather, very cool, cloudy and raining. My thought was if it is warm enough for shorts it is too hot for tights. Cool enough for tights, too cool for shorts. It looked odd.
Is this a new thing?
@CrazyKittyLvr2 I sure hope not. 👀
Maybe it's a relic of the 1980's aerobics craze or Pilates ? Back in the day when I first engaged in the aerobics , some would wear tights and very short shorts over the tights them and the exercise leotard because they were modest . I just embraced the tights and leotard look . Olivia Newton John had an aerobics video . I remember the classes I attended played that Wham song " Wake Me Up Before You Go -Go " with George Michael alot.

I remember back in the day wearing knee length "dress" shorts to work with tights, a blazer and ballet flats. This had to be in the early 90's.

Yes - that look was popular here (NYC) in the late 50s / early 60s.
Black watch plaid Bermuda shorts (with the buckle in the back), knee socks and penny loafers.

@skatting44 I remember that look too and the classes with the Wham song.
I have a skirt that I can pull over my bike shorts after I am thru with spin class but that's so if I have to run an errand afterward, I don't feel self-concious about wearing lycra!

@ALRATIBA late 60's to 1970-ish where I lived. It was a casual school girl type of look I guess.
