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?

ROFLing @ 'badly-made sausage' comparison.

'See-through brown leggings' Envy (Not envy in this case, but nausea)

Did someone also mention those weird trousers that are baggy but sort of tight below the knee? Or did I imagine that? I hate those, too.

i agree. leggings are not trousers and why some young girls seem to think they are baffle me. but sometimes i think it might be my age lol

There is a mum at school who wears waist length tops and always black leggings and she has an absolutely enormous arse. I don't have a small arse. Mine is a size 16, so for me to think her arse is absolutely enormous really does demonstrate that arse hugging leggings are not the best option.

lostlady · 30/03/2011 22:57

I agree, what are people thinking? Why would you do it?

MillsAndDoom · 30/03/2011 23:06

Am roaring at this thread and agreeing

Let people wear what they like, if they want to walk around with arse sticking out over low riders, let them it's funny to watch the fools.

if fat arses want to wear leggings let em, it makes the rest of us feel better about our bodies.

you want to walk around in your birthday suit be my guest I don't care, way more important thing to bother about in this world then what people wear (or not as the case maybe).

Tortoiseonthehalfshell · 31/03/2011 04:22

Oh God I care. I don't want to live in a world where men are walking around with their willies flapping merrily in the breeze.

Since we all agree that leggings without a long top is wrongity wrong wrong with wrong sauce for everyone, can't we refrain from the fattist comments?

If Megan Fox can't pull it off, no one can

Zingylemontart · 31/03/2011 10:56

Looking at the title of the photo (after I had almost blinded myself looking at that camel toe!) I think it's Kim Kardashian rather than Megan Fox - but not being a gossip column reader I can't confirm that! As for leggings...I have worn them, but only with a very long tunic and long boots - as little legging on show as possible. It's only fair to the people around me. Smile

Fimbo · 31/03/2011 11:09

Could well be Zingy. Have googled again and definately \link{http://www.meganfoxphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/camel-toe-2.jpg/Ms Fox this time Grin}

Arrrgggghhhh. If I'd wanted to be a gynaecologist I'd have worked harder at school.

It is Kim Kardashian, she's a lot curvier than Megan Fox!

Mumofaflump · 31/03/2011 14:22

It's even worse when the knickers are too tight so the leggings outline the "4 arse cheek" effect!

Desperateforthinnerthighs · 31/03/2011 14:41

I wear leggins (with long tops etc - my arse doesnt see the light of day for anyone) but I could not wear cheap ones....I have warehouse leggins and they are lovely.

I run a local aerobic class and one of my ladies wears leggins for it....thin ones and when we put our legs in the air to do reverse crunches Shock ........it aint pretty and I have to look away!!!

Happylander · 31/03/2011 16:19

went shopping today to attempt to buy something passable for when the old man comes home from Afghan and I saw a lot of crop tops.......CROP TOPS!! I don't want to wear sodding crop tops. Now we are going to have crop tops and leggings BLEURGH!

FellatioNelson · 31/03/2011 16:26

I was with someone yesterday who was wearing leggings that were not much thicker than opaque tights, with a supposed dress/tunic that barely covered her bottom. Let's just say it was not pretty. Especially as she was quite hefty.

mollymole · 31/03/2011 16:31

not legging this time but what about those huge furry fleece things with pictures of dogs/wolves/indians heads on - what is that all about - and quite often it is teamed, for the women, with a skirt, no tights and traners

GetOrfMoiLand · 31/03/2011 16:31

I wear jeggings with short tops. They are thick rigid jean material and NOt see through. The citizens of Gloucester cannot see my arse cheeks or pubic bone.

I have never been this thin in my life (blame MRSA and post operative malaise) so I am going to prance round in skinny trousers whilst I can.

madonnawhore · 31/03/2011 16:42

Am wearing leggings today but don't worry, my minge is under wraps.

Piccalilli2 · 31/03/2011 16:44

Dd2 favours the leggings and short top look, but she is not yet 3 and therefore has some excuse. I am trying to train her out of it though.

Leggings and a short top = wrong. Even if you are a willowy teenager. In fact I was stood at a bus stop with 4 willowy teenagers in leggings and short tops just the other day and it almost makes you cry, all that beauty wasted on appalling outfits.

Grumpyoldhorsewoman · 31/03/2011 16:51

Piccalilli, you said it. It's what I think every day when DD1 goes out of the house looking like a roadie for Status Quo rather than dressed in all the lovely stuff that hangs in her wardrobe. I could weep. She'll never be 16 again.

DesperateHousewife20 · 31/03/2011 16:55

I wear leggings all the time, with long tops (which just cover my arse) skirts and tunics. I do NOT flash arse/thong at all though and you cant see through them, they are good quality leggings.

I have, though, seen some ghastly sights of overweight women wearing them as trousers and you can see everything.

I've gone to the other extreme - I now wear trousers under dresses to avoid my legs being visible :-(
