winter tights - how to wear?

[Catrin]

Forgive me for being silly, but whenever I see this thread title on the topics list I keep thinking it sounds like a fashion article, and I want to reply "why... how about pairing them with a snappy pair of silver boots, a cute little dress and a matching handbag!"



oh, and yes, I wear them over.

I'm going against the norm...I wear my tights under my chamois bibs. I like the thermal next to my skin, and if it's cold enough for tights, layering isn't an issue. That said, I don't wear tights unless it's under 35. Until then I wear knickers, smartwool long socks, booties, long fingered gloves, wool base layer, ss jersey, arm warmers, thermal jacket/vest. And if I'm going to be taped and it's sub 30, I throw in hot pink fishnets http://vimeo.com/12587416

Climate and cold tolerance is so different. My winter layering has changed every year. But I did learn that less is more. If you're warm starting out, that's a bad thing. I used to come home freezing, it was because I was too warm starting out.

My favorite way to wear thermal tights is while lying on my sofa with a beer watching a good movie. That's just me, though.
