to ask if you wear leggings?

[CharlotteWebb]

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?

... but will expect someone to focus on the misper

Fleece lined tights?

Blood nora! Where do you live that's cold enough to need them!!!

I live in leggings, predominantly because I really struggle to find trousers to fit (I'm 5"10 and ankle danglers aren't a good look).

Very rarely, tbh - I personally think they look a bit scruffy. I wear opaque tights under dresses or skinny jeans under long tops so there's no place for leggings in my wardrobe.

I wear them everyday. Love them.

I love mine. So comfortable. I wear long tops or dresses over them so my arse is covered.

Brighton- I prefer leggings because I hate the feel of tights and feel like they slip down at various points in the day. I am constantly laddering them. I also find shoes more comfortable with socks on rather than tights. I wear tights to work everyday and dislike it so prefer leggings in cosy socks and boots in my free time.

Maisypops even I don’t mind the odd day of leggings, but if it’s continuous and all someone will wear then that’s different.
At one point I had about 10 pairs good quality leggings and rarely wore much else, my partner did comment and I took his comment on board, I did get lazy with my wardrobe.
Now winter is here I do love wearing a knee length dress and thick tights

I don’t think the leggings lovers are all that amused really,mostdays.

Autum not winter

Leggings are hideous unfashionable things. They are usually worn by larger people with long tunic type tops. Very unflattering.

Some hilarious comments.

Anyway, yes, I wear leggings. At home I’m pretty much either in leggings or lycra shorts and a long T-shirt, because they’re comfortable. Anyone that doesn’t like it can move out or not visit ‍🤷🏻‍♀️

Out of the house I’ll only wear them under jeans//trousers for warmth or under a VERY long top as I no longer have the figure for wearing them like independent bottom halves. Unfortunately.

IMO they look good on girls/women who have a nice figure IF they’re decent material. They don’t look good on anyone if they’re paper thin.

I think you should talk to your DH to see what his actual point was...then you can decide how you feel about it. Don’t assume it’s weight related.

"I am a man". And? Who gives a fuck? Why the need to preface your silly little opinion with a declaration of your sex?

Love my leggings. I wear a top to cover my bum and fanny and don’t really care who sees my legs, whether they object like pp or not. It’s a look I’m really comfortable with.

Idk if other people are amused or not, i just find it funny just how annoyed people can be by leggings and how serious they are in telling everyone that leggings are bad. I don't really understand caring that much about what other people wear.

*I am a man.

My view of leggings is that they are suitable for no-one. I would not ban them as we live in an (almost) free society, but perhaps do something such as tax to put people off them.

Apart from appearance, I am concerned that leggings encourage denial of weight gain, especially where it gets to the level of being potentially health threatening. If you have to fit into jeans/trousers or even a dress, you may take more notice if you gain weight.

Same goes for men with tracksuit bottoms as well*

Well thank goodness a man is here to give his oh so weighty opinion. Now the little women can stop talking.

Leggings tax

My god this thread is very revealing isn't it. What sad lives people must lead that they have such strong opinions on what others cover their legs with!

Black opaque tights look so much more attractive , though, surely? There isn’t that flat look people must get with leggings. Tights stretch over the curvier parts of the leg in an alluring way. That is more attractive. Leggings are...well...leggings.

I wear leggings every single day.

I've put on a stone and gone from a 10-12 to nearly a 14. I'm not running out to buy new jeans and trousers, because I will lose the stone.

My leggings are comfortable and practical for everyday wear. They go with boots, trainers, underneath long tops, cardigans and dresses, or with a hoody.

If I was going somewhere special I'd probably wear a dress and tights.

Take no notice of your husband, if he's being nasty he needs pulling up on it.

I have a couple of tunic dresses that I wear leggings with for work as they would be a bit too short otherwise. They are thick and the dresses are mid thigh. Hate seeing women wearing thin leggings with short tops. It's like wearing tights out!

I wish more men would give us their opinions on leggings. From what I gather, here, some are a less than enthusiastic.

are less

Why surely ? Black tights can look as thin as thin leggings, as thick as thick leggings.

As for stretching over curvier bits, I don't wear tights instead of trousers any more than I wear leggings as trousers, so nobody would know!

No shoes, calf height boots... so leggings. So I don't have to put up with the discomfort of tights!

Brightongallery couldn't not pick up on your comment.

Why would I give a flying fuck what a mans opinion is on my leggings? Or anyone's come to that matter?

Why would I give a fuck if tights are more 'attractive'?

I wasn't put on this Earth for decorative purposes, I have far too busy a life than to worry about being ascetically pleasing all the time.

I don't care what's others wear, but, as I said, for me, if I were wearing leggings out, I would PERSONALLY feel scruffy and down on myself, and I don't like to feel that way about what I'm wearing.

I just don't like the faded, baggy look I feel that I HAVE in leggings. Much better to wear proper, tailored bottoms or tights. And with tights, you don't go round with a seam down your leg spoiling the effect, which I PERSONALLY don't like, in the same way I would cut the labels out of a sheer top before I wore it. So as not to spoil the effect. Because it bothers ME.
