to think leggings should come with a tag saying

[giraffesCantGoPotholing]

treat these as tights not trousers.

Look at your bum in the mirror to see if the leggings go see through and your cellulite/pants are visable.

Thank you.

Ohgodyes!

agree!

I only ever wear leggings with a dress that would otherwise be too short to be decent OR under trousers when it's really cold. Quite agree that they should not be worn as trousers - far too much cameltoe opportunity!

YANBU

I do wear leggings. But with a long top that fully covers my arse and top thigh.

As should everyone else

Not the back view that worries me! Full frontal can be scarey

YA so NBU!! I have just past a young lady wearing those ones that look like really thick tights, and it was just not nice!!

YADNBU it needs banning as a 'fashion'!!! It doesn't look good on anyone!!

I just wish gels would consider the aspect of their arse before going out in just leggings and a short top. My town has a lot of students, and they all wear this combo.
Just because you are young does not mean you necessarily have a great arse...

And even if you do have an acceptable (or even better) arse, does not mean we all want to see it whilst we are walking down the High Street.

My children are too old for this now, but I think those of you with toddlers should be training them to point and say, at the tops of their voices, "Mummy - I can see that lady's bum and her knickers!!"

That would quickly solve this problem, I feel.

I recently followed someone up the road, who had leggings on under a tight-ish top. She was a little large (not bitching, I'm no Kate Moss, either) and with every step you could see her whole buttock - from top to bottom - move. She kept having to hoick the top down over her behind.

It looked terrible, but if she had had on a slightly looser top, just as short, she would have looked fine.

YANBU at all.

Re-branding anything less sturdy than a pair of jodhpurs, as "footless tights" would help, IMHO. Probably wouldn't stop the worst offenders though.

What has happened to leggings this time around?

When I wore them as a teen, I hasten to add they were thick thick no way see through, now they all seem to be just a bit above 70 denier tights?

I wear mine under dresses or alone around the house if there will be no visitors

YES!!!!! I am always tempted to tell people who wear see through leggings with short tops that I can see every crease of their butt.

What about those who look as if they are wearing nappies under their leggings? Sometimes they just look baggy and lumpy "down there". What's that all about?

YAdefNBU.

Leggings are for under dresses that are too short to be decent with tights only.

SDTG - ahahahahahaaaaaa Now, how do I go about making that DD's first sentence?

Omg yanbu yesterday saw a woman my age (27 or so)

wearing some leopard ones with a short top, and as if that wasnt enough she must have been wearing a thong (or nothing ) as you could clearly see her bum cheeks (and the actual separation)

Can you add (cheap) white linen trousers as well. Have just seen more of a middle aged stranger than I would have preferred - full frontal as she walked toward me not a good look

Ah, but tights are acceptable as trousers too.

I saw a 'larger' lady the other day wearing ten denierish tights with a sweater that only just covered her arse.

Was hard not to stare.

Have you seen the stripey ones, black and white?? Like everton mints?? stuff of nightmares!

YANBU. And I would have been calling for a ban too, BUT, I have found that the only thing I can wear with my hunter wellies when I walk the dog is leggings. Even trousers are too thick. And my legs are too chubby for skinny jeans (thigh area more than anywhere else) so I really don't have much option. And I do always wear a long top and long coat over them, but I always pray I don't see anyone I know They wash so much more easily than anything else I own too, so they hit a double whammy in terms of practicality.

YANBU. Agreed on leggings and on white trousers that you can see pants through. And they think they are being subtle by wearing a cerise thong under them to avoid VPL. Dear God.

I saw two young ladies walking about yesterday and I could quite clearly see the pink & red knickers underneath. Just wish I'd had a bit more gumption to say something
