Nude leggings, surely no.

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

Surely they must see them on other people and know how bad they are.

It's a very odd fashion choice.

There was a mum at my daughter's school fair wearing nothing but nude cycling shorts and a nude crop top bra thing - she basically looked naked from any distance, and not much better up close.

I was discussing this very same thing with DD13 the other day and she agreed it was a very bad look.

It all seems a bit Emperor’s new clothes

You sound lovely

It's awful. I raise you a nude lycra playsuit that showed off everything. I mean everything. Landing strip and nipples. She thought she looked "chefs kiss" instead of ...Well, not going to say it. Young twenty, not pasty skin, not fat as such but definitely not been toning any muscles. Just why?

So comfortable for us fat folk

It’s normal for women of all sizes to wear shorts under dresses. I don’t wear them for ‘chub rub’, I just spend most of my time chasing a toddler or carrying a baby and don’t fancy flashing my knickers 🤷‍♀️

Literally.

What a lovely person @EllaRaines is! (Not)

Why do you want to wear something that makes people do a double take, because they think you might be naked? Is it an attention thing?

Nope. I don't look pale or naked in them as I have brown skin, I'm Indian. They look very obviously like clothes on me.

I feel good wearing them, and I don't ever look at how others react to my choice of clothing.

If you get attention based on how you look, that's going to happen regardless. Wear what makes you happy.

Amuseabouche I'm dark skinned and I'm interested in your comment that they don't feel as casual as dark leggings?

I don't see why colour would make a difference to whether seems casual or not. But leggings generally can go either way - except the scrunch or nude type which is a very specific look. Would anyone wear them in an office, I wonder?

Don't. Very popular with our sixth form girls.

I can only guess this is a deliberate nude look.

ironically, people dressed like this has increased my confidence as I feel less fat now!

The whole nude leggings and crop top look is a popular one with teenage girls in particular. Many of our sixth form students wear this to school. They all have very long straightened hair as well. Sometimes it's like having Lady Godivas in the classroom.

ugh, I came on to mention those horrible butt munch leggings - but I see quite a few people already beat me to it. Am glad it’s not just me who finds them both ridiculous and revolting!

It's an awful look and I've never seen anyone look good in it.

I think people are entitled to an opinion. If you feel it’s something you look good in, that’s fine, but it’s equally valid for others to disagree with you. We might not say things like that to people’s faces, but we say it internally and judge internally.

There are some styles that suit very few people, men and women. I am not a fan of the abbreviated cycling shorts that are current, if they’re showing butt cheeks. Fortunately, it seems to be mainly the young who’ve embraced that, but I think you have to be slim and toned to carry it off. There are men wearing shorts, who really shouldn’t, imo, but unless specifically asked, would t say anything.

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

not if you can get a crop top to match and look completely naked -

I've been called all sorts because I said in a thread that they are inappropriate to wear at a funeral.

You and me both, ThatFraggle! Oh boy, there were some angry people on that thread. Apparently the only reason for disliking certain clothing choices is jealousy of young, pretty women. OK...

Yes, nude leggings are hideous. I think the test for most clothing items is: if it doesn't look good on the model, there's no hope for the ordinary mortal. These are beyond vile, but then I find nude as a colour really difficult on tops/dresses as well with my pasty English skin. As Amusebouche says, it can work on dark or olive skins but it washes me out completely on jumpers etc and makes me look ill.

Yes - see my point upthread!

Oh dear lord that thread was bonkers! Someone coming on and telling us that we were all like Hyacinth Bucket because we disagreed or wanted teenage girls to dress like Kate Middleton! Very silly.

Ha ha yes! That's exactly what scrunch bum leggings would do in my house anyway 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I did love watching Kenny Everett as a kid.

Think he was parodying Rod Stewart. Loved it!
