They simply felt uncomfortable because they fit so poorly, i wouldn't even wear them around the house. What I do instead is wear thick Ibex wool tights (sometimes with another pair of warm tights underneath) and a short dress or short skirt...or some stretch knickers and wool knee socks over that...looks cute and I'm WARM.
I just went with the smaller size which was tight around the hips and didn't gape... but merino wool is not flattering at all when tight on rolls of fat.


I can try the skirt thing if I want to wear them in public.

Generally, I just shove them underneath ski pants because I want them as a baselayer for skiing.
