In the summer I do the same as Bobby- either golf or basketball shorts...

But, in the winter, if I have to be walking through a store I’ll put socially polite golf khakis (thin fabric that rolls down small to pack in a bag) on over my tights... not trying to look like Quail Man.

Highly recommend Pearl Izumi Elite AmFib pants/bibs. I’m 90% sure mine are medium. My shoeless upright to the bone inseam is 36” and to have them fitting with no sag has the cuffs less than an inch above my ankles. I’m not in love with the knee stitch placement, but it works fine.

Got them last winter and, with hard riding, wool socks, press-n-seal over my SPD shoes/ankles and up under the PI cuffs a few inches, I was fine for commutes/rides under an hour down to -10F. Gentle riding might have the lower limit at 20F without long underwear. Complete torture if it gets over 60F.

They do have a compression fit which was worrisome at first. I thought I was going to break them. Daily use for three-four months and they look fine.

Just picked up some Craft overpants for that pesky 35-65F range and the fit is... weird. Kinda loose on my thighs which looks less clownish to my normie coworkers, but still clownish enough to want to throw golf pants over at the bike rack for the walk to the changing room.
