leggings without a long top or dress?

I don't want to see women's bum cheeks in detail not shudder a camel's toe.

Do people not use mirrors any more?

Of course that should say 'nor' rather than 'not'.

Hear hear!

Fimbo · 30/03/2011 16:24

Me too. I never really wear leggings personally though as tunic tops just make me look like the back of a bus.

E320 · 30/03/2011 16:24

I SOOOO agree.

ShowOfHands · 30/03/2011 16:24

They're often see through aren't they, leggings? I noticed this the other day when following 3 young girls in leggings. I could see their knickers, shade, details, lace etc. Are they supposed to be see through?

See even the slebs can't do it - \link{http://www.meganfoxphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/camel-toe-kardashian.jpg\Megan Fox} Shock

I've noticed the same SoH. They never used to be like that but are more like tights these days.

Yes! This has been causing shudders for months now.

For some reason it annoys me even more when you see little girls like that, because I think their parents should ban them!

Olifin · 30/03/2011 16:27

ARRGGGGHHHHH @ that camel's toe.

YABU leave them alone it's people like that that make me look good Grin

thorahird · 30/03/2011 16:28

class on the megan fox i was just about to say wish i had the figure to wear them but looking at that maybe not Smile

AgentZigzag · 30/03/2011 16:29

I saw an older woman with leggings and short top on, she might as well have been wearing tights with what you could see of her kegs and arse cheeks.

I'm afraid I did silently judge.

beanlet · 30/03/2011 16:30

Couldn't agree more. So horrible. I wish I'd had the courage to go up to the girl I saw yesterday and say "Did you know I can see your thong and your bum through your leggings". Sadly...]

Thomcat · 30/03/2011 16:32

LOL! I agree. A very nice young waitress served me the other day and as she bent over the table next to me I had to very quickly avert my eyes as I could see fleshy tones in the buttock area. Not nice, even on a young, skinny, pretty girl.

whatsallthehullaballoo · 30/03/2011 16:32

YANBU - leggings should be worn as tights....always long tops or dresses over the top. Though I have a massive pair I wear for pj's.

schroeder · 30/03/2011 16:33

Just don't wear leggings full stop

slightlymad72 · 30/03/2011 16:36

YABU, if they didn't wear them then I wouldn't be able to bitch about them when drinking my coffee on the market square.Grin

susall · 30/03/2011 16:36

Only ever worn them with a dress or to bed, god forbid inflicting my arse on unsuspecting people. Im very critical about myself and cant believe how some people leave the house looking like they do. I would be paranoid all day that people were takling about/sniggering at me.

MoonGirl1981 · 30/03/2011 16:36

I've been saying this for sooooooooo long.

Around my way it's the larger ladies who do it - not a good look!!

Leggings came back in fashion last year and were called (wait for it) footless tights! Leggings and tights are the same bloody thing - especially the cheap ones with really thin fabric!

Looks fooking awful, it really does! And EVERYONE seems to be doing it!

Mrsfluff · 30/03/2011 16:40

As soon as I saw the title I knew what the thread would be about Grin I can't abide leggings and short tops, whether you've a body to die for or are blessed with generous curves, it just looks yuck!

EmotionalMess2011 · 30/03/2011 16:41

i have a real problem with this too! a young girl was walking in front of me in white translucent leggings/jeggings...whatever! even more unfortunatly there was no underware to be seen!!!! just this wobbly white teenage bum in front of me!!!Shock was very glad i was walking behind her tho, and not towards her!!!!

Desperateforthinnerthighs · 30/03/2011 16:41

do you not like seeing two pigs fighting under a blanket? Grin

YANBU - some people need to invest in mirrors and then before they leave the house, take a backward look in it!

Prunnhilda · 30/03/2011 16:55

THe worst is when the leggings are so thin that you can see the dimples of cellulite
I mean most of us have dimpled arses, but why show the dimples off? Nbody needs to see them!

ConfessionsOfAnAchingFanjo · 30/03/2011 16:58

Last year I actually saw a couple of teenage girls not wearing leggings as trousers, but stockings!!! Couldn't believe my eyes.

AgentZigzag · 30/03/2011 17:07

'do you not like seeing two pigs fighting under a blanket?

hahahahaha Grin

How long before we're all told off for being such judgemental vipers?

By someone who's been wearing them not realising they're mooning at passers by obviously Grin
