I don't know how a single layer can keep you warm, but generally clothes work by trapping lots of tiny pockets of still air between the outside air and you body.

@ArishMell they don’t I wear 2 or 3 pairs and it’s tolerable.. what I don’t understand is theses fleece leggings I’m wearing are really warm it’s 2 degrees outside and I’m fine

@Shelly6395 Ah, well, fleece will keep you nice and warm, because it's like lots of thin layers in one; but I find it hard to see how a single layer of ordinary tights or stockings can do that.

@ArishMell a single layer is not warm at all

@Shelly6395 It isn't, which is why I find it puzzling some say it is.

@ArishMell it depends on the brand I think I’ve had some that are ok.. and others that are no good.. I just have to wear them and find out

@Shelly6395 A good point. I expect they differ in thickness and mesh size. As you say, it's a matter of finding the best for you.

@ArishMell yes as long as they feel comfortable I’m ok with them
