to think leggings on their own is ridiculous

Always leggings on their own here!i wear them everyday, have a massive assortment, jeggings, patterned etc, i do think you have to have a good arse shape, not necessarily a size 8 ( i am) ive seen girls who are around a 14 looking so gorgeous showing off toned bums in them too

If wearing with crop, or short, tops they look like they're going to dance class (in the 80s).

Otherwise, don't care. Long tops, tunics and all other combinations I wouldn't bat an eyelid at.

Leggings and skirts/dresses are as bad as leggings with short tops IMO. It just looks wrong! Leggings with long tops and jumpers is what's "right"! (Knee length is too long...)

Lol this thread made me put a black jersey skirt on over my leggings this morning before I went to tesco, I had been wearing them with a big plaid shirt and long sleeved top ;)

I just get extra stretchy leggings and pull them right up over my boobs (much easier these days since my nipples are round about my where my waist would be if I had one!
I do need to put shoes on though or my feet get cold...

Surely they don't realise others can clearly see their underwear?

I have always thought it's a bit of the case of "Emporers New Clothes"?

I like leggings, what I don't like is a face full of someone else's underwear be it through cheap leggings or belts buckled round thighs.

I don't care it's something probably socially conditioned in me, I find it uncomfortable and frankly pervy, there's something 'flashery' about it imho.

Those who don't mind flashing their keks in public won't give a shit about being judged and those who do probably appreciate the heads up.... So I don't really see the problem with threads like this tbh.

If you fall into the catagory of knowing exactly what you're displaying but your still offended, may I kindly suggest that you stop forcing yourself to wear clothes that send a message out to society that you don't particularly like.

The young girls I see here wearing the leggings and crop top look are very beautiful and look amazing actually. I like the look it's new and fresh and really comfortable. I think the dress over leggin look is completely passe but each to their own I suppose.

I think this thread is really horrible - posters feeling sick from looking at other women in clothes they don't like....that is so extreme. You need to check yourselves.

I love leggings. I always wear them, be they jeans-like or otherwise. Never nude, though! I think if you adhere to the general rule of loose/ unstructured/ long top for anything other than working out you'll be fine.

No holes, visible knickers/ sanitary wear though!

DSD wears two pairs over each other to stop see through issues!

Agree a slim person can get away with it but leggings with a short top looks to me as if they have forgotten to put on a skirt. I like them with mid-thigh length tunics / jumpers

I followed a really large girl into the drs the other day and I mean really large. She was wearing leggings and a short jacket. Not a pretty sight.I can tell you.

However, I think a nice slim person can get away with it.

I was walking behind someone whose leggings were so thin I could practically read the label on her thong. Not a good look.

The ones that look like leotards are hilarious! I am forever hoping they don't bend over because the seams don't look strong enough

Ooh I had some lovely leggings in the 80's but always wore with a dress. I wouldn't wear them now as I am far too fat and dimply plus they are so thin.

I do think people can wear what they like however, I do wonder why there friends/relatives don't say that their pants are on show!

Yanbu leggings as trousers only for under 10s imo.

Im 30 but have a teen/celeb skinny legs, and I adore leggings. There are loads of thick ones you can buy, and I really love them.

What about this type? Surely these are ok? No?

YANBU. Some women take complete leave of their senses where leggings are concerned. I feel embarrassed on their behalf.

Picture is on an escalator. If it is public enough to be in a stranger's face, it is public enough to be caught on camera without wrongness.

That picture makes me cringe every time I see it not because of her leggings or visible underwear but because this oblivious female (whose age we don't know) has no idea her personal space has been violated and spread all over the web. Oh and yes I know it's a zombie thread but that same picture was posted on a similar thread earlier this week. I'm fat, I wear leggings with my tunics and do so while not giving one iota of fuck. It's my body. I'll dress as I please. If my dress sense offends then don't worry I'll be outta sight in a second or two. Just... y'know? Deal with it.

I think it's fucking disgustnig to humiliate people by taking pictures of their behind, no matter what they're wearing. Shame on you for condoning that behaviour.

Would it be ok to take pictures of a womans privates while she sleeps? Because there is very little difference. She obviously did not know she was displaying so much.

I was expecting Cliffy though!

*Leggings with a top above the waist

Leggings need no body fat. If you fit that then great. Otherwise you are going to be showing your beef curtains to anyone who cares to look.
