To think scrunch bum leggings look fucking shit

[shockwaze]

Even the name is horrendous

It isn’t true that those industries are dominated by women- where are you getting your data from?

I totally agree. A quick google of the 100 wealthiest entities in the world will quickly reveal the men and their companies who dictate our reality - see who are their CEOs and their major shareholders.

LVMH right up there in terms of leading the world of fashion.

Had to look them up. I’m very glad to say I’ve never seen them before. You might as well paint them red and wear a sign saying “Baboon in estrus”.

I've seen some absolute peaches in these leggings! Fair play to those who can carry it off. It wouldn't be me.

Unfortunately for most people the effect is not that flattering.

I've seen them but didn't know sometimes they're padded? Hahaha

I wonder if the padding gets all twisted around sometimes, like when you’ve got a bra with separate sewed in pads, and they get all turned inside out in the wash. That would be a good look.

Women are free to wear what they want and other people are free to think it looks shit.

I think they can look great- loads of women wear them in the gym and have gym bums so they are quite flattering imo. Even if they aren’t, who care what other people wear.
This thread is very Mumsnet. Only on here would something like leggings be seen as a ‘class divide’ 🤣

I’ve got a big enough arse as it is thanks very much.

Clothing is often quite class indicative though. There’s nothing new about that and it’s not an especially MN idea.

😁

It's not the actual decider though. I doubt Princess Beatrice would ever wear these, but if she did, it wouldn't actually stop her from being royal. Similarly, plenty of working class people today change their fortunes and wear more expensive clothes. But if MN is anything to go by, this just sets them even lower, because money can't buy class and they're gauche and nouveau riche etc etc. And as before, no such criticism when Princess Beatrice does it.

This needed pictures! LOL! 😉

So I reflected on these creations after my (sweaty) run this am and doing yoga after.

All that excess fabric when sweaty would be rank and so unhygienic

But even if it were true that fashion and beauty were dominated by women, that wouldn't mean that we don't live in a patriarchy, which like all systems of power co-opts enforcers from within the dominated group.

Much easier to let the oppressed police themselves.

The patriarchy doesn’t need pointing out on a site such as MN, does it? Sadly it does.

Ah come on, unless that’s a friend of yours, it’s not nice to take pictures of people and put them on the internet with snarky comments.

@AngryBirdsNoMore where did I say "I took this photo today"?

You can get scrunch butt dresses too

There's a time and a place for them sure, like a gym or exercising or something.

I hate them on nursery/school runs, especially skin coloured or almost see through, it's awkward I don't want people's arses in the queue, I'm terrified my kids will comment on their bums!

They could have just come from the gym yes but it's too revealing, imagine if men wore something similar, willy scrunch.

Oh for the love of god make it stop LOL

Do they have scrunch cleavage at the front?

You are being unfair. The dress is for a classy, formal event. 7.49 is a bargain too

How about these ‘classy’ leggings! Perfect for the school run! 😂

Proper Truth or Dare stuff. 😉
