The skirt is one of the most versatile pieces of clothing a girl owns. It can be worn for almost any occasion from cookout to nice dinner. The skirt also always makes a girl feel cute and feminine. With that being said, there still is a looming question about skirts: to layer or not to layer? This questions seems starkly divided among people of both genders.


There are those fashionistas who like complexity in their outfits. These girls prefer to wear tights or leggings under their skirts to compliment their top or accessories. There are also guys who are attracted these women on the cutting edge of fashion.


On the flip side of this equation, there are the girls who believe that wearing a skirt should show off their legs. Of the girls from this group that I've met, they are all very against the tights look. Many guys like this look as well, as it normally the male point of view "the more skin the better".
I, honestly, like both looks. I think there is a time and a place for both. I wouldn't wear tights under a skirt to the beach, nor would I go bare legged on a 60 degree windy day. Let me know what you think.
