They're thin enough that they can be worn underneath your business apparel and your colleagues would be none the wiser. They're quite economical as well.

Also, superfine merino as well. i tuck them into my socks (and really, if it's cold enough for long johns, I'm wearing wool socks and boots). For days when it's cold but not -30 cold, I wear knee socks and boots under my suits. Love love the silk longjohns.

I lived for a long time in a VERY cold climate, frequently 20 below, and never once wore, or even heard of anyone wearing, long johns of any sort. Regular wool pants, or a skirt with tights. Good boots and a warm coat for outdoors. Done. I’m really surprised to see all the long john love here.

Thanks for recommending them. I'm often wearing shoes with socks around the office (Danskos, etc.), and tucking my long johns into the socks keeps them from showing out the bottom of my pants. (It's dorky, I know, but who cares when it's underneath.) I love love love silk long johns, too. Thanks for recommending them.

I still have silk long johns and undershirts that I bought back in the 80s. I originally got them to wear under ski clothes, but they've been great under dressy clothes, as well. Silk is so durable.

They are a bit pricey ($18) but I've had the same pairs for three years now and they are holding up fine. I love Hue brand sweater tights, available at department stores.

I also have pairs from Aerosoles and Naturalizer, but the Aerosoles tend to fall apart quickly. Endless.com has a good selection of all three. If it's really snowy and icy, though, I'd caution against wearing your nice boots outside, because the salt will destroy them. I wear rubber boots while walking to work if there's salt on the streets. My best boots, which both look fine with a suit and are sensible in wet/snowy weather, are Rockports.
