I hope I'm not being rude and perhaps I'm showing my age, but what is it with people wearing leggings the are wedged right into their butt crack? It seems like this is the current trend but it seems so vulgar 🙈

A young friend of mine wears these and it's very hard not to stare! If I had a 20 year old arse though, I'd be wearing them, so 🤷

My DD does it - both up her arse and she doesn’t care if she has a camel toe. It’s the fashion apparently.

I think she looks ridiculous.

blindsinthecity · 05/06/2022 15:12

current trends I suppose

just like how nice boobs were in the “in thing” for older generations, a nice bum is extremely attractive for younger generations and current fashion just accentuates it.

Attention seeking 🤢

FawnFrenchieMum · 05/06/2022 15:14

Lots of Ds’s 15 year old female friends wear this, honestly don’t know where to look when they come over!

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 05/06/2022 15:14

Looks better than a saggy old pair of leggings not pulled up.

dancingmarshmallow · 05/06/2022 15:18

I get that it is current fashion, I'm
Probably just being a big bore lol I wouldn't have the confidence to parade about like it tho lol

Bums are in. I couldn't have worn this in my teenage years as I've never had much of an arse, but I suppose it's similar to how I bought those "add 2 cup sizes" padded bras from la senza and wore bodycon tops to show off as much cleavage as possible!

Kanaloa · 05/06/2022 15:19

Just the fashion isn’t it. Not for me so I don’t wear it because I like wearing big massive knickers. You don’t have to wear it either!

Kanaloa · 05/06/2022 15:20

Although when I was young it used to be trendy to wear low rise jeans so your thong could be seen clearly over the top of the jeans.

I'm glad my teenage daughters don't dress for the male gaze. Thankfully they prefer oversized clothing.

Think I prefer the saggy leggings look!

gunnersgold · 05/06/2022 15:26

I don't think it's very becoming ,especially the nude ones !
I think people think they look good but most don't really 🙈

I mean, it’s not necessarily for “the male gaze”. They probably wear the same leggings going out with their female friends family. Most teens wear them with an sweatshirt/hoody.

Beyond that, like 99% of things women do could be attributed to “the male gaze” which is a bit demeaning. I’m sure there’s something your teens do that someone would say is “for the male gaze”

It looks quite uncomfortable.

And painful. It they are hoiked up between the arse cheeks then surely it's giving a front wedgie too.

gunnersgold · 05/06/2022 15:29

I also don't understand why people wear leggings as trousers with normal clothes .. surely these are meant for the gym ! 🤔

My nan calls this "hungry bum".

I dunno, it seems arse wedgies and camel toes are the fashion now.

druto · 05/06/2022 15:34

how do you get them in the crack, wedge them in?

Angrymum22 · 05/06/2022 15:35

Thankfully mens bums are also back in fashion, although thankfully not in leggings. Gone are the skinny jeans, unless you are ver 30 with a beer belly ( 🤮). Back are straight leg jeans which show off the perfect male arse.
DS17 found my DH’s Levi501s from the early 80s last year and started wearing them with his ex girlfriends encouragement. Now all his friends are wearing them.
So much better than the fashions of recent years. And particularly kinder on the eye than skinny jeans that look utterly ridiculous on men.

A recipe for thrush if you ask me.

Blueuggboots · 05/06/2022 15:40

I saw a young girl in aldi wearing these the other day. I was shocked!! You may as well not bother?!
