Elite volleyball women sometimes wear their Sports Bras over Tshirts. Not the same thing but it's close right?
That was based on a uniform rule.

I never realized so many people don't know basic apparel terms.
What if I made the shorts by cutting a pair of snow pants?

Not the same thing. Sponsor logos on their sports bra because the sports bra was designed to be their stand alone competition wear.
And shorts do NOT block wind better than tights. That claim is absolutely wrong. Get an underlayer. And if it is that cold, get wind briefs. As a northeast US resident, I own a few pairs.
I think it is clear that there are people who absolutely do not accept shorts over tights. I personally don't care what you wear and i find that it actually is better to wear shorts over tights in very windy and cold situations. I normally don't wear shorts over tights, but sometimes I do.
What I find so weird is why people care so much.

Txrunnergirl, I now have a new reason to wear shorts over tights: to spite you. I will be doing so tomorrow morning, and I hope that makes you sick.
I'm sure she's not going to care when a hobby jogger announces their homophobia to the world.

+1 on tights alone looking stupid. They really do.
I ran in college and our coach would never let us wear shorts over tights. But he also used to watch us in the shower and was fired for making a pass at a guy on the team.
Welp, the fact that both rojo and txrunnergirl hate shorts over tights means I'll be running in them every day the rest of the winter. And maybe into the spring.
And yes I am a hobby jogger. I hope they hate that, too.
Winning!

If caring about how you look affects your ability to get out the door and run, you ARE a hobby jogger!!! Add this to the list of you might be a hobby jogger if... 😆
Nothing wrong with it, man or woman. Just do you and don't give a crap what anyone else thinks.
Wearing shorts over your tights are scientifically proven to add 10 sec/mile to your running pace.
Man these Texans mean business
You need to get out more.

Hmm, okay, but he was probably forced to put the shorts on to conform with the team uniform. Does any pro where shorts over tights by choice?

Attempting to use irrelevant hypothetical to refute objective fact. Classic Letsrun response. Bonus points for misspelling wear/where.

Tights alone, or any kind of short split shorts alone look ridiculous on tall skinny people. Maybe good on the track, but no where else! Even the most reasonable fashion trends need to be adjusted for for the individual.
Split shorts have lining for a reason. They are meant to be worn alone. Function > Fashion. Which is another reason to never wear shorts over tights, they bunch up and are uncomfortable. If you want more wind protection, wear spandex shorts underneath. You aren't superman, you shouldn't be wearing things over tights. If you are that concerned, wear sweatpants.
The reason I wore shorts over tights was because I needed a pocket for MP3 player and/or car key. (Tights don't have pocket). But then I took a glance in a store window reflection and realized that I looked like a Dooshebag so I quit that.
Yes I am a hobby jogger. But so are you. You are just in denial.
Good tights have a pocket right above your ass. And don't hobby joggers need all the decked out gear? Why don't you store things in your hydration backpack and listen to music from your armband? I am glad you stopped though. Admitting it is wrong is the first step towards recovery. Keep at it!
