to think leggings on their own is ridiculous

[sidress]

as they are basically a form of tights worn under a skirt or long top. Not worn as trousers like I see so much of, particularly teens or young students. My daughter has taken to this recently but its her choice, I have bigger battles to pick.

I suppose the false jeans kind make a BIT of sense but I still don't get it.

You know, if you don't want to see something, you do this thing with your neck, called turning, it moves your head so you can look away.

What good advice HighlanderMam...

Highlander

true, but if you see something by accident, you know, involuntarily sadly you can't unsee it.

the damage is done. and what's worse, I feel sorry for the person who makes themselves look ridiculous.
there's an excellent invention called a mirror.
it's been around for centuries.

Depends on the thickness of the material and quality. Plus how it looks on the individual. YABU

The damage is done? Come on now and stop being so melodramatic. There is no damage done from seeing the likes of the woman in that link with her thong and panty liner on show.

At best you feel sorry for her or think wtf? At worst you mock her and take a pic to post online.

I'm sure an unwanted glimpse is easy to 'get over'. I think people look silly in lots of clothes, whatever, I'm not wearing them. Don't give a shit.

None of you are climbers then,

leggings are brilliant to wear under a harness.

[stridence]

Leggings are the most uninspired tat to have ever been invented.

hahaha...I can't believe I come back 2/3 days later and women are still being obnoxious A-holes about what other people choose to wear! this is classic. @forbreakfast, why on earth does looking at an arse offend you? this makes me sad....I don't like to say this but it is true, some people are gifted with more beautiful faces than others, some of these "others" are not that gifted at all! but wait, does this mean that they aren't allowed out in the street!?? especially not wearing a hat or shades! or do people think that only really attractive people should wear hats now as "they just draw my attention to their face, i don't wanna see that while I'm shopping"

last chance. ANYONE CAN WEAR WHAT THE SHAG THEY WANT!! if you really for some bizarre reason can't handle looking then it's you that should maybe stay inside and watch programmes only featuring very good looking people in baggy jeans and long tops that cover their bums and a thick jumper to be as unsexy as can be.

Again. sorry and well done to anyone sticking up for people who want to wear items of clothing they like. rant was not for you!

Leggings are the ugliest item of clothing a woman can wear. They are unflattering and vulgar. Since when has it become the trend for women to out with tights only that is not wearing a skirt or a dress? Let's face it leggings are just thick tights and nothing else. To add insult to injury is when a fat or very fat woman wears them or an old woman. They are completely demeaning and disgusting.

I was walking behind a mum just yesterday and she was wearing leggings and a short top...but the legging were see through, I could see her knickers in detail, every roll of fat and even her cellulite for gods sake. She was a size 16-18. why oh why. She would have had more coverage from tights.

Not the first that I have seen. I think people think leggings are easy and comfy to wear...but not everyone can wear them. I can't.

Shock horror! Woman with chubby thighs wears leggings - it's not exactly the bombing of Aleppo/massive financial fraud perpetrated by the banks, is it?

Very true, and very funny.

I'm ambivalent: I know what people mean about it not looking good, and being presented with a good view of people's exact genital contours and underwear is not always pleasant, but isn't it better for people to just feel free to follow the fashions they want? Chicness is a tyranny.

I admire anyone who just does what they want clothes-wise. I'm so crippled by appearance anxiety it takes me ages to sum up the courage to leave the house most days.

You are allowed to have an opinion about the way someone looks. Yes, leggings worn as trousers look stupid on most people. Especially with Ugg knock-offs.

[honeybunny14]

Depends if you can carry them off worn like that.
