Just that really! I’m so sick of seeing women in activewear leggings. And now that we’re having some better weather the shorts are out. I saw a woman today in a pair of butter yellow short, short, shorts which left nothing to the imagination. I’m sorry I don’t need to see every lump and bump on your behind and legs.

Go on.. tell me how miserable I am 🙄😂

Can't say as I see many women in leggings other than those who are being active in them - doing a sport, class or gym, or on their way there or back. And they look great. FWIW I have had shorts on in the gym recently as leggings are too hot.

Men don’t tend to wear super tight Lycra as fashion on the whole.

Except for millions of male cyclists and runners.

If I do yoga in shorts I end up with bruised knees.

I keep seeing teenage girls around in this hot weather wearing teeny tiny black shorts. Its just funny to me coz they look identical to the big PE knickers they made us wear in school!😅

I noticed those little black stretchy hot pants on the weekend! So many teenagers wearing them. It must be an emerging trend. Not one I’ll be trying…

I think I’m keeping Sweaty Betty in business at this point.

I’ve recently lost 2 stone, I’m 45 and I’m going to wear shorts every single day the suns out as I’m now confident to do so having spent the last few years in the sunshine covered up wearing active wear leggins.

I almost live in them - walk the kids to school (about 1.3mi so 2.5 round trip), wfh, punctuated by the gym, then walk back from school. I do feel self conscious but substance over style. I have a terrible varicose vein on the back of my leg!!
