YANBU. It is obscene.

Debeez · 26/03/2012 21:31

If you can easily see somewhere to store a cigarette YANBU. That is the rule. :o

Meglet · 26/03/2012 21:31

yanbu. One day I'll trip over while gawping at someones see through leggings.

chocolatebuttin22 · 26/03/2012 21:32

YANBU no one wants to see anyones bum cheeks let alone the camel toe that they will deffo have when they turn around to see who's shouted "i can see your pants" !!

ToothbrushThief · 26/03/2012 21:32

Black Completely see through ....and texture of thigh also visible...usually worn with cheese wire disappearing into arse

FiremanPenny · 26/03/2012 21:33

YES!! This exactly.

Leggings are not trousers, they never have been. They are thick tights that you wear stuff over your arse.

How do people not realize they are see through? Please people of the world who commit this crime, please stop

gomez · 26/03/2012 21:33

Like all Lycra products leggings shouldn't be made in anything bigger than a size 12.

RuleBritannia · 26/03/2012 21:35

I was in Reading town centre the other day and saw the back of an egg on legs. The only thing I noticed was that her dirty bra was showing above the neckline of her top.

Have women lost the modesty aspect of not having any of their underwear showing? I certainly haven't. Charlie's dead, anyone?

lepetitchoufleur · 26/03/2012 21:38

Pudenda, lol! Yes this is a really horrible fashion. Been around for donks though. So nasty. But in a similar vein I do feel very old to admit that I can't stand the kids (and grown ups) who wear trousers so low their bum sticks out the top clearly showing their boxers / tighty-whities. I have to fight an urge to run up behind them and yank them down. Wouldn't take much effort.....

MooncupandPizza · 26/03/2012 21:38

I frequently resist the urge to tell women that leggings should not be worn as trousers, only with tunic tops or dresses or other tops that are long enough to cover, at the very least, the majority of one's bum.

If the person has a lovely bum, then it makes me stare at it. If it's horrible, I also probably end up staring. Therefore, those wearing leggings turn me into a pervy arse-starer - this must be stopped.

Mrsjay · 26/03/2012 21:39

I havnt worn leggings in years I havnt had the urge this time round i wore them first time round they are comfy but long tops are needed ,

MyleeneCrass · 26/03/2012 21:40

You're wrong, Gomez.

Mrsjay · 26/03/2012 21:41

I hate lowriders (is that what they are called ? ) usually you can see thong tops or the erm trampstamp lower back Tattoo Grin

CreepyWeeBrackets · 26/03/2012 21:41

yy Mooncup. They are not trouser-substitutes. Very very few people can pull that off and only then in photographs IMO.

aquashiv · 26/03/2012 21:43

Storing a fag in your crack why did I never think of that genius.

McHappyPants2012 · 26/03/2012 21:43

i tend to only buy thick leggings, and always wear a tunic top.

yanbu

Mrsjay · 26/03/2012 21:46

with a tunic top thjey look stylish with a short teeshirt not so much mchappy Hmm

RuleBritannia · 26/03/2012 21:47

I have a pair of leggings for house wear becauase they are comfortable. When my husband started pilates, a new pair would have cost a bit so he used mine and looked good in them. I would not wear them anywhere other than in the house though.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 26/03/2012 21:50

I had the misfortune to spy a woman last week in a pair of leggings-
bum like a pint of porridge in an eggcup. Camel toe and it looked like another bum stuck on the front.
Am I painting a picture for you?

Shame she didn't own a full length mirror Envy not envy-vom face.

CreepyWeeBrackets · 26/03/2012 21:50

Quite right, MrsJay. Not so much

BoFo · 26/03/2012 21:55

I think for exercise purposes leggings and short tops are fine! However most people wearing this combo out doing their shopping seldom do exercise from the examples I've seen.

sensuallettuce · 26/03/2012 21:57

Yes yes yes yes Grin

So who are these people?!

Will anyone admit to being an outdoor offender?
