USSF's Ask a Ref column provides:

Question:
I have noticed in Europe on cold weather days that professional players have been wearing sliding pants or leggings that cover the whole leg and go under the socks. I was under the impression that sliding pants had to be similar or same in color as the shorts and could not extend beyond the top of the knee. Has this changed?
Answer (March 17, 2005):
The garb you describe is for the safety of the players. The "panty hose"--probably Lycra tights--under the shorts and socks are allowed because of the extreme weather.
