They look weird and like you've forgotten half your clothes...

Even worse than other leggings, which I am convinced were introduced by someone as a practical joke (as are many clothing items for women, probably designed by men).

Yes, I had to do a double take the other day when I saw a woman walking down the street in what first appeared to be only a cropped top. I did think it's not a clothing choice I'll be making.

LaurieFairyCake · 24/06/2023 10:30

I saw a woman in nude velvet leggings at the station the other day - she was young and attractive and had the most ENORMOUS wobbly arse I've seen - like twice the size of that Kardashian woman

She was drawing a lot of attention - obviously deliberate 😂😊

I saw a young woman in nude leggings and crop top yesterday had to double take I thought she was naked at first glance

AlexTfan · 24/06/2023 10:36

How is it possible not to realise?

This was when I knew, I mean really knew, that I was old and out of touch 😂

I mean honestly, they do no one any favours anyway, even in other colours.

LakeTiticaca · 24/06/2023 10:59

Omg I've seen sights like this as well. Don't they realise how it looks? 🤣

Tessisme · 24/06/2023 11:10

They are a really strange choice! A woman who lives near us wears a pair of nude leggings and it's really hard not to do a double take! I mean, she probably wears other clothes, but I just don't notice her then. Which might be the point ...? She does have a great body though, as in someone who clearly lifts weights in a serious way.

35965a · 24/06/2023 11:11

They’re hideous, even on people with amazing figures. Truly hideous!

blahblahblah1654 · 24/06/2023 11:12

They look ok on young slim people. I certainly wouldn't wear them with my arse!

TheFormidableMrsC · 24/06/2023 11:13

There was a mum at my son's primary school who was approximately a size 30. Very pale. She used to come in with nude leggings and a crop top on. It was utterly horrific. So unforgiving. I actually quite admired her confidence, she was definitely confident and good on her for that, but it was not a pretty sight at all. I mean what are nude leggings for? They look like you've forgotten to get dressed!

CantBeArsedOrAsked · 24/06/2023 11:26

There was a woman in front of me running when I took dog for a walk, she looked like she was just wearing a thong as there was a line going down into her bum crack.

Not what you expect to see on an early morning dog walk.😲

Jackiewoo · 24/06/2023 11:35

I saw a young woman wearing them in a hospital Costa this week. I'm all for freedom of expression but nobody wants an eyeful of a strangers bum crack at first glance while ordering coffee in the middle of the day. I did evaluate my high calorie ham & cheese toastie habit mind you. it looked like a pair of tights stuffed with lumpy porridge.

lookingforMolly · 24/06/2023 11:36

I've seen women in nude crop tops & nude cycling shorts!!
Perhaps I should just wear my bra & chub rub shorts then forget the dress...

NeverDropYourMooncup · 24/06/2023 11:39

They look great on somebody with dark skin, as the colour goes perfectly with their undertones.

For your average pasty faced (or orange) individual, it's definitely not the same effect, irrespective of size.

Phoebo · 24/06/2023 11:54

Agree. No, no, nooooo!

Ponoka7 · 24/06/2023 11:58

There's a woman on the school run who wears (her) skin colour leggings. It's taken me months to get used to them.

I keep seeing very overweight women wearing chub rub shorts longer than their too short dresses! Awful.

Too many see through leggings this week of various colours with visible tiny pointless thongs underneath, arse all over the place.

Grim.

(Feel like I can say this as a formerly 22 stone person who would never have subjected people to my disgusting arse)

Dear god. I know exactly what you mean. 😳😂

WantToBeHappyAndHealthy · 24/06/2023 12:19

I agree, op. It looks awful. If you're wearing leggings, your arse should be covered. No matter the colour of the leggings.

MaggieBsBoat · 24/06/2023 12:24

I admire the pure ‚not give a shit‘ about wearing nude leggings, but no one looks good in them except perhaps people with dark skin and amazing bodies.

Flossflower · 24/06/2023 12:39

I think these came out about a couple of years ago. I haven’t seen them for a while. The women I saw them on were not slim. Does anyone remember the large naked fat suits that David Walliams and Matt Lucas used the wear? This came into my mind!

BarrelOfOtters · 24/06/2023 12:56

Saw 3 people in London wearing all in one skin tight pale lycia....all great bodies but it didn't look good. Agree if you've dark skin and a great body....can look OK. But not on you average pasty person.

I rub shoulders with a lot.of students. It's an awful look. Even worse worn with fluffy slides.

dustypelmets · 24/06/2023 13:09

They still look better than those awful scrunch-bum leggings!

What would nude scrunch bums look like? I don't think I'm brave enough to google that.
