To keep my legs warm in winter, a good pair of tights and/or pants is necessary. When the temps fall below about 5-10 below zero, I go with tights plus pants. I feel like a stuffed sausage with too many layers, so I'm very happy when it's warm enough for tights only. My favorite pair is the Brooks Utopia tight. This model has been discontinued, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that Brooks will bring back something similar. Some of the specific features I love about these tights are the fleece lined fabric, pocket in the back, zippers on the legs for easy on/off and drawstring waist. I've actually worn these tights until I had to repair the inner leg seam from wearing them so much. My two sons have these tights in the men's model and also love them.
When the the weather gets a little warmer, I'm not quite so particular about my tights other than a drawstring waist...I hate it when the drawers feel like they are riding low. I generally stick with black tights to match with anything although I'm seeing some fun colors and patterns available now that I'd like to wear. Back in high school, my mom sewed me a number of pairs of tights in all sorts of colors and patterns so I was quite a fashion plate. Lycra tights were a brand new idea in the late 80's that no one was sure would catch on. Happy running 👍 Missee
