So where do you stand - are you a traditionalist and wear your leg warmers over your socks OR are you with the young trendy pros who wear their socks over their leg warmers?!!

I've been cycling a long time and have always worn the warmers over my socks but, you know what, the socks over isn't without some style merit!! So what do you think?!

Probably over. Whatever is easiest to put on though. Care factor is very low.

Over socks so the socks dont stretch out.

Over if the socks are boring, under if the socks are worth showing off.

Over if planning to take them off at one point. Under if they stay on.

Socks have to be white though.

If you have compression leg warmers or long bibs then it's a real hassle to put them over socks.....and you don't really want them to stretch.

Over is more comfortable. Under looks better - especially if you are wearing nice socks.
