Men inTights, Wearing a kilt

[Blueline72]

I recently got married on a fine winters day In Minnesota in my Kilt. It was a balmy 4 F (-15 C) I have a 16oz 8 yard kilt and I was fine I had far more trouble with upper body during outdoor wedding pic session than I did with my lower parts. My legs were a lovely rosy shade though.

I've never fond it necessary to wear any form of leggings under my kilts, but if I did I'd go for the black thermal long johns I have for skiing. Unlike tights, they at least have a fly.

i have a pair of black thermal long johns that i cut a hemmed to be a few inches above my knee, on really cold days i wear these under my kilts and no one can even tell.

I have pondered the idea of wearing some old snug calved, stretchy skinny jeans I have. The down side is I would need to remove the kilt hose to get them off and on. They do provide a fly for the "necessaries", but holding up a kilt and dropping trousers at the same time could be too interesting. Wearing this indoors would be too hot.
I normally wear my kilts a bit lower ( just below the knee cap ) when it is really cold outside here. That is all that is needed to keep the knobby knees warm. Back inside the kilt goes back up real easily.

I asked Matty if he was wearing kind of running tights under his kilt and he made this thread. The reason I asked was that I have tried to find acceptable solutions to wear under my kilts when really cold or windy or both.

Almost every day throughout autumn I have seen men using running tights under their shorts when running in nature. So why not under a kilt when really cold, I thought? By all means they might be better than ordinary leggings, even manly ones. So yes, I better confess that I have now bought me some and that I have been wearing them with kilts, like yesterday when it due to a heavy wind felt bitterly cold (-15C/5F).

I don’t know why they are called tights and not leggings, as they are without feet?

I was wearing them together with kilt hose and boots and yes, they do their job. I still prefer bare knees when possible, but I can see the advantage of this garment, at least when walking in nature.

What do you think?







I have also been wearing them with modern kilts, and then without kilt hose. Perhaps they look more acceptable with such one than under a traditional kilt?
