I wear them outdoors, but only on certain occasions. When I have toreplace a lightbulb next to the entrance of our house, I climb upon the adjacent railing. The risk is that I'll fall & tear mypants. So in Summer I wear shorts, but in Winter, I put on tights,which cling too closely to be caught & torn. I also wear tights when shovelling snow, because they dry more quickly. These arerather dull uses, I'll grant you, not nearly as exciting as runningabout & showing off one's legs, but...well, you asked.
And I've seen a guy in the neighborhood wearing tights when rakingleaves in the Fall. Baggy tights, but tights just the same.
It isn't all exciting exhibitionism, let me tell you. (Not thatthere's anything wrong with that; if I had anything worthexhibiting, I'd be doing it as much as anyone.)
