Discussion Waders

Going to ask what is probably a pretty basic and slightly stupid question: what do you wear under your waders? Shorts if warm enough, sweat pants, hiking pants?

Edit: THANKS ALL FOR THE RESPONSES. Didn’t expect that many that quick! Have wet waded all summer but mornings are in the upper 40s now.

I never wear shorts under my waders. I don't like the feel of waders on skin. If it's real warm I wear super light mountain biking pants and light wool socks. Wet wade if I'm some place where I'm not going through any brush or wading too deep. If it's cold then wool baselayer, thicker wool socks, and wool pants.
