I wear "jogging pants", you know, tighter and lighter than sweat pants, but not as tight as tights. I use elastic hair bands at the ankles. Everything's black so it looks alright.
I run hot so for me the important thing is the balance between breathability and wind blocking. The pair I have now have a vent strip down the side. which works great. I don't need to worry about water resistance in this dry Colorado climate. When it rains I use a rain cape and it keeps my legs mostly dry.
In loose, wet or messy snow I wear water resistant jogging pants...over the others when its below 20F.
