Trousers for cycling

    My cycling wear tends to be (in summer) a pair of baggy linen trousers and a linen or cotton T-shirt, (in winter) a pair of ditto woolly trousers and… well, you get the idea.
    However, entranced by their style I bought a merino base layer and top layer in Lidl last summer, and find them very nice to cycle in, under a nice thick rain jacket, of course.
    But what about trousers? I've been looking at pictures online, but they all appear to be designed for the person who likes to look as if she's borrowed her little sister's outfit - halfway up the hips and hafway up the calf of the legs. Are there good, comfy cycling trousers that go down to your ankle and up to your waist, for those of us who don't aspire to be a style goddess, except in our own individual way?

    I wear a pair of running tights over bib shorts.

    I have a pair of Lidl winter cycling tights that are full length & very cosy in the cold. Otherwise I wear running tights over cycling shorts.

    Hm, I have a pair of old hillwalking tights, could repurpose them, maybe. Not the warmest in a whistling wind, mind.

    Ordinary Penney's leggings, why not? Or the horridly-named but less absorbent "Jeggings"

    Jogging leggings do the job for me. They keep you nice and warm and most are wicked so you don't get too badly soaked when it rains

    Take a look at Endura Urban wear.
    I have a pair of their long trousers and they're good. You can wear them anywhere, pub, beauty parlour etc.
    Stretchy type material, zipped pockets, straight leg, light yada yada.
    Look them up.
