To run up to every woman I see wearing leggings and a short top and tell her...

[sensuallettuce]

...that I can see her pants.

They are see through are they not?

Like the Emperer's New Clothes .

Oh, springydaffs, tan leggings. That's awful.

But more awful is when you can see very clearly that they have NOT had a Brazilian. Really very painfully clearly.

There's a girl in college with me, who favours the leggings and short top look. And clearly also likes her always ultra pads with wings.

I really must get up the nerve to tell her next time that her choice of sanitary protection is on public display. Not quite sure what I would say though.

Springydaffs, I saw that picture. Took me ages to work out the leggings thing, I kept looking at it and thinking, "She's black from the waist up..."

The thing is, even if you can get a good view of your arse in your bedroom mirror, you still have no idea what you look like when you're walking. Even the tightest, firmest wee arse cheeks wobble and bulge and flex and move.

YANBU

even the young girls with perfect figures who look ok don't look OK as soon as they start to move.

And Jeggins - can we just ban them, pass a law or something.

oldlady and springy I saw that pic, it was in the Sunday Times magazine. DH and I both had the same reaction and stared looked at it for ages before we worked out she was wearing leggings. It was quite unsettling.

There's a woman at my pump class who wears see through leggings and no knickers (or an invisible thong). There's a lot of bending and stretching so I try not to get behind her as I'm sure there's going to be a nasty incident sooner or later. She has quite a large bottom and the leggings are taking a lot of strain .

In the past few warm days I have noticed something equally alarming - people wearing VERY short shorts. So short in fact, they cut up at a 45 degree angle over each but cheek, looking not unlike a "v" shape at the back, leaving the "bottom" 45 degrees of arse cheek hanging out. Without even the aid of leggings.

Just wobbly blobby big white arse.

In TESCOS.

On Saturday, I passed a young girl in the shopping centre wearing footless tights. Not leggings. FOOTLESS TIGHTS. Actual tights with no feet. Very very see through. With a short top. No shorts or skirt. I genuinely wondered if she had forgotten to get dressed properly.

And also:

Oi! Madonna! NO!!!!

I often have the uncharitable urge to provide a set of full length mirrors on the school gate so that everyone who goes in gets a view of their backsides. Becuase it is so bloody obvious they have forgotten to check their back view before they leave the house! Specifically with regard to leggings and short tops. Ditto men who wear very low waisted jeans with greying baggy underwear. We have a lot of large people in our town.

I'm sure in the 'olden days' they were called footless tights - were they not - at least then we knew they were not for 'outerwear'....even with a long tunic on top I often feel I've too much on show - but not sure how to work the shoe thing with out leggings/ballet flats/bare feet aspect you get with a legging as opposed to a tight.

Don't get me started on jeggings though - I mean WHY???

I made some rude comments about a lady wearing leggings and a short top to my friend, I then realised that she was also wearing the same! It did look awful though as she wasn't that slim!

This is yet another advantage of the wheelchair - arse (which is gorgeous, incidentally) fully hidden at all times

YANBU.

I saw a girl recently who wasn't fat but definitely had a curvy bum. The Lycra was pulled so tight across her cheeks it was almost transparent. Her thong was clearly visible as was her arse crack. People noticed.

I almost did want to say something to her as maybe she hadn't a clue but then decided she might punch me so went on my merry way.

I still haven't recovered from the shame of going out cycling once in a pair of cycling shorts that were getting on a bit and had gone slightly see-through. I cycled past two blokes who took one look at me, noted the distinct shadow of arse crack visible through slightly see-through lycra and burst out laughing.

My neighbour's leggings are so thin I could see:
her knickers
her knicker label: they were M&S
Her cellulite
Her tattoo
Her large mole on back of thigh

I wear Nike leggings: extremely densely woven you can use them as blackout curtains...but they are £60 a pair....

That reminds me of a guy I know who was out for a run, stopped to chat with two acquaintances and only after they had passed did he notice his willy was hanging out the front of his shorts. He had wondered why they had quickly shuffled on with such stricken expressions.

To this day he cringes in extremis to think of the day he inadvertently flashed his knob at the neighbours.

Can we add women who wear Dr Scholl sandals with their toes hanging over the end so that their foot resembles an Eagle gripping a fish?

i came over all at the thought of toes hanging over sandals i have a foor phobia i hate summer for the sandal haggy toenail wearers

And can we also add people who never check the back of their heels for dry, peeling, cracked skin?

Just moisturise them for god sake!

I actually saw some one in a pair of those red Scandinavian jumper pattern leggings, now those certainly shouldn't be let loose in the wild.

startrail I saw a girl with cream icelandic leggings on and a matching bobble hat a few weeks ago and no she wasnt 5 years old

Jeggings are simple to understand.

If you are large of arse and smaller of waist, they fit and are comfortable. Stupid low cut jeans are not.

Yy to those Christmas jumper leggings. They make the wearer look like their nan has a knitting itch and some unusual ishoos

And massive women like me in fit flops.
