to ask if you wear leggings?

My DH keeps making comments about my leggings - he says things like "are all your other clothes in the wash?"

I always wear a longish, flowy top which covers my hips and bum. When I ask him why he's making these comments he just says he's joking and I need to get a sense of humour!

Are leggings just for very slim women?

I wear them at home or under dresses

I live in leggings pretty much. Doesn't bother me at all.

Personally, I hate leggings, but that's just my opinion. I live in jeans. My eldest loves her leggings though. Them or short shorts... And belly tops (cropped tops). It's November ffs!

As long as they aren't see through then wear what you like x

Love leggings. Easy to wash and dry, can be worn under a dress, top etc and are perfect for running, climbing etc after kids. Plus they don't take much room up in your bag, if you need a spare change for yourself.

I wear leggings all winter, I also wore them last time they were fashionable, in the 80's and they were much better quality then. A long top is essential though, although a stretchy one with another one over top that unbuttons works for me.

People can wear anything they want but sometimes a little bit of thought and a look in the mirror, back and front views, is a good thing because people do look.

We used to call them Max Wall trousers.

I don't care what people wear. I don't judge... I look like I got dressed in the dark after being dragged through a hedge backwards most days! 😂
People need to feel comfortable in their own skin, so wear what makes you happy. I just meant leggings weren't the choice for me... I blame my mum, those and bobbly wool jumpers!

Never. They are hideous.

SilentIsla · 24/11/2018 19:48

I am a big girl and tended to wear leggings with long tops and dresses as I hate tights, I often roll them up unless I am wearing with boots but I did discover some lovely stretchy jeans cheap on e bay that I bought in several colours so wear these with the long tops and wear the leggings as tights.
