Tights under trousers.
Tights under trousers.You might have already thought of this or even be doing it, but I've found that if you put a pair of tights on under trousers then the layers trap the warm air and it keeps your legs warm
I don't know if this would appeal much to the men on the forum, but it does work very well! When on late turn and walking [my husband was police officer] he used to wear tights and long johns. He still came home frozen in the mornings. They do work.

i dont wear trousers, all my working digging and walking is done in skirts. Not short skirts though, i have a couple of knee length ones but they are mostly long skirts. I wear tights in the winter and then if needed a pair of thermal long johns over them. I am plenty warm enough (have done several ice walks in skirts and even climbed a frozen waterfall)
Tights are warm. S-S not hold ups as the elastic tends to go after a bit and its hard work keeping them up then when digging!!!!! if you let them slop around the ankles the dogs think them fair game. Also with them and stockings your botty gets cold!!! (oh in the summer I dont wear tights, and when worling/walking and there is noone around and I need to be a bit more flexable I jsut revert to childhood and tuck skirt in knickers to keep it out of the way 5 dogs, 15 chickens (6 ex batts) 1 cockerel, and very limited tech skills
tights + trousers = lack of air flow = tendency to cystitis
so I stick to socks + trousers = warm toes. My job means that I am on my feet a lot so I need sensible shoes which cope well with the extra thickness of socks. Besides, socks are not expensive and last ages longer than tights. When the kids lived at home, the only problem was pairing up everybody's black socks in 2 or 3 different sizes. I don't wear tights under trousers, for the above reason. I have always suffered.
But it isn't often the guys get this problem. Why is it you put 12 pairs of socks in the machine and 24 odd ones come out ?? Wendy http://www.busheyk9.co.uk

Used to wear cycle shorts and tights under my uniform dress when I worked on a supermarket deli. Socks and pants are one of lifes mysteries. My husband must have had about 25 pairs of boxers, all of which I packed when he went away. I've had to buy him about 20 more pairs since. I know there are such creatures as 'underpants gnomes', it said so on 'Southpark'.
