to think leggings on their own is ridiculous

[sidress]

as they are basically a form of tights worn under a skirt or long top. Not worn as trousers like I see so much of, particularly teens or young students. My daughter has taken to this recently but its her choice, I have bigger battles to pick.

I suppose the false jeans kind make a BIT of sense but I still don't get it.

I once saw a friend walking down the road in pale pink leggings with a jumper on top which just skimmed her hips. I really thought she had forgotten to put her dress/trousers on. It was obscene

YANBU here's why

[sittinginthesun]

I just look and think I'm getting old... It's a very strange look, but I used to wear leggings and long Tshirts 25 years ago.

[Fakebook]

Yanbu. Why do people do it?

[DoMeDon]

Skin tight leggings and a crop top!! WTF is that about!?! It looks awful, any size, it's just wrong. Am sick of the sight of 'hoof'.

[GoldenSeptember]

When I was young and thin, I lived in leggings. Now that I can't (without causing people to go blind and horses to be terrified), I think YANBU at all.

As far as I know, wearing leggings under a skirt is the "new" thing. I remember wearing leggings with a normal or longish T shirt in the 80s. I remember being surprised when people started wearing skirts over leggings - as if they couldn't decide whether to wear skirt or trousers, so decided to wear both!

I live next door to a University, this year they are all wearing leggings with nothing on over the top, tis not a forgiving look!

People just don't think about what they look like from behind.

I was walking behind very slim young girl the other day. She very very obviously had giant white knickers underneath her leggings, which she had worn with a short t-shirt. It just looked daft.

Even the first time I wore leggings (90s), I always did with quite long t-shirts.

THEY ARE NOT TROUSERS.

You can only get away with it if they are really thick to the point of them just being jegging/treggings/skinny black trousers.

[santaisNOTathreat]

can i redeem myself and say in my own home i wear leggings and a vest top to excercise.

have seen someone today wearing a clingy skirt in leggings material. bridget-jones-style knickers showing through.

[missvague]

Leggings are never a trouser.

[Softlysoftly]

Is it me or is the linked image a bit intrusive? It feels a bit wrong someone snuck up behind her to take a photo of her arse, I know she looks ridiculous but still. Just doesn't feel like a moral thing to do.

I was walking behind a girl in very thing leggings and a short top this morning - it was glaringly obvious that she had nothing on underneath. From behind it looked bad thank god I didn't have to look from the front

[OutragedAtThePriceOfFreddos]

There are a few, people, very few people, that can actually pull off this look. It's not one I particularly like on anyone, but the problem isn't the leggings, it the women who think they have the figure to wear leggings without a bum covering top. It can look ok if you have the perfect arse, but the majority of people don't.

*thin not thing

[manticlimactic]

My DD wears them with long tops. She makes sure they aren't see through. But she's 16 and v.slim

usualsuspect ITA - enough with the clothing police. Shock horror! Woman with chubby thighs wears leggings - it's not exactly the bombing of Aleppo/massive financial fraud perpetrated by the banks, is it?

[Anonymumous]

Are we allowed to wear leggings and a cropped top to the gym? Only I usually start off wearing a T-shirt over the top but get so hot after five minutes that I end up taking the T-shirt off. (I do put it back on before I go home though...)

P.S. What is 'hoof'?

[mirry2]

Just don't wear pale pink ones, if you are white skinned (sorry, had to think about that. Is the word caucasian?)
