You can wear 'em under your normal pants if you'd like. Sh*t, if I had the cash, I'd buy 7 pairs and wear them everyday, even if I'm not riding. Cycling shorts are the single most comfortable piece of apparel anyone can own.

edit: The Swrve pants are fantastic. I've got three pairs, one in Schoeller Dynamic, cotton, and wool. Fair warning though, these are cut slim, so order a size or two up if you've got big thighs.
