I am feeling quite ill now. Must review legging/tregging wear, although never show arse. Am too old. And remember them first time around Blush

ladybirdbliss · 27/03/2012 13:08

why do they do it..

im a big fan of leggings im a size 14-16 though and they're always black and worn with a dress/ tunic long top!

skirt Agree about the FitFlops. To me those glittery ones look like a belly-dancer's costume had a fight with a big lump of plasticine. Just wrong.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 27/03/2012 13:19

YANBU. Away you go. Grin

Agree OP of course. Can I also add my gripe, mothers in low cut jeans at play centres or places one has to bend over. I do not want to see an enormous arse crack whilst drinking my morning coffee thanks. Belt them up or wear a longer top.

MadameChinLegs · 27/03/2012 13:21

What is the verdict on black leggings, longish top (mid bottom) and long cardi (mid thigh) worn open over the top?

I wore that the other day and did wonder, but would like a difinitive answer as to whether I wear it again.

ChildofIsis · 27/03/2012 13:29

What about the well endowed ladies in strapless maxi dresses on the school run?
It's march and 5 degrees!

Kerala - my DP's mate used to play a game he called "Follow the thong" in soft play centres. Basically involves picking the most attractive semi-exposed arse he could spot crawling on all fours and following at a safe but still pervesome distance Hmm

MiseryBusiness · 27/03/2012 13:36

I wear leggings with mid length tops. My leggings are more like skinny elasticated trousers than jersey type material though.

My DH would be the 1st one pointing and laughing if you could see my bum.

loopylou6 · 27/03/2012 13:59

I like to wear leggings because I have trouble finding pants that fit me, my hips are huge and fat, my waist is a lot smaller, my arse is huge but my thighs are again, a lot smaller :(
I find that leggings fit everywhere equally, Altho I always wear q tunic type top that covers my arse and belly and I'm quite a big girl.

That's ok yes?

Agincourt · 27/03/2012 14:09

I haven't noticed this at all but I like quite rural and people here are still wearing shellsuits

squoosh · 27/03/2012 14:10

Bum covered - you're covered

wasabipeanut · 27/03/2012 14:13

YANBU. I think leggings suit very few women. I am quite slim (10/12 when not pg) but leggings make my calves look wider than when I have bare legs or have thick tights on. The only people that look good in leggings are slim to thin but with well toned legs.

As for see through ones with a short top.

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 27/03/2012 14:18

Best ever leggings FAIL

VonHerrBurton · 27/03/2012 14:56

I have a lovely, very dear friend who has lost a shitload of weight over the last year and looks amazing. However, she seems to be favouring the legging/camel toe/see thru at back combo - with a bolero style jacket at the moment. I know. I have tried to tell her without sounding like a bitch. She thinks (and I don't blame her) she looks fabulous.

PleaseChooseAnotherNN · 27/03/2012 15:33

YADNBU Leggings should only ever be worn with a bum covering top. end of argument thank you.

TheNorthWitch · 27/03/2012 15:40

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.

LOL :o

I was on the train sitting down when a young student came on and stood by me. He had on lowriders which went right down at the back AND the front - I didn't know where to look Blush (anywhere but right in front of me!)

At our local girls High School the sixth formers seem to have taken en masse to the leggings/short top combination. I really don't know how they can parade about like that with their bottoms and knickers so much on display
( or why the head mistress doesn't send them home)
