and have bad Cellulitis you should be wearing a top that covers your butt....because I think it simply isn't a good look?

Stop stalking me!

But yes, people should wear long tops, bordering on dresses.

Mum1369 · 17/03/2009 10:11

It's not the bottom that causes my probelms-it's the camel toe...

hereidrawtheline · 17/03/2009 10:12

This will be the first year ever I will venture into the world of leggings and I will be doing it only with very long tunic tops and dresses!!!!! Would not DREAM of doing it with just hip length or shorter tops!

salome64 · 17/03/2009 10:12

Leggings are the work of the devil.

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 17/03/2009 10:13

YANBU - even without the cellulitis!

ranting · 17/03/2009 10:14

Oh yuk, didn't people stop wearing leggins with short tops in the 80s?

FairLadyRantALot · 17/03/2009 10:24

ranting...apparently this fashion is returning...now, I thought we should have learned the first time around, surely...but I suppose it is the nature of fashion, eh....

It's quite weird actually...I did my nursing training 20 years ago....and I am now at Uni to do OT, and the things the fellow students with fashion sense are wearing are pretty much like the things I used to wear back then....
and yes, I used to wear leggings...but even than it was a fashion faux pax to have a shorter top on, lol

I saw the worst sight ever in leggings yesterday. It was a young lady whose thighs were obviously rubbing and the inside seam had broken so she was walking around in a far-too-short skirt and a massive thigh to knee rip! Enough to put me off ever venturing out in them

cheesesarnie · 17/03/2009 10:30

eww yes the camel toe look eww.

my sister gave me a pair of cropped leggings the other day-straight to the charity shop i think-they are not for me.

ranting · 17/03/2009 10:33

See I do 'do' leggings but not with short tops, it's just wrong, so YANBU, this is not FAME people.

Hawkmoth · 17/03/2009 10:35

Shurely 'cellulite' not 'cellulitis'... which is a disease.

But, I wore leggins when I was a child. They are scary.

FairLadyRantALot · 17/03/2009 10:51

sorry...you are right of course...cellulite...duh...orangepeel skin...

what is the camel toe look?

psychomum5 · 17/03/2009 10:53

oh I am loving that leggings are back in. am living in them at the mo, nice to relax in and chase the children in.

but I do wear long tops to cover my bum

ranting · 17/03/2009 10:54

For camel toe, see Madonna in a leotard. It's easier to see than explain.

2rebecca · 17/03/2009 13:25

Leggings are fine if slim, but just accentuate obesity. You need at least a hip length top even if slim to stop them looking silly.

MrsMattie · 17/03/2009 13:27

Leggings are fine as an alternative to tights underneath long tops/dresses, even on the larger lady (in my opinion). Worn as trousers, with bum and fanj showing, they are pretty grim.

FairLadyRantALot · 17/03/2009 13:28

MrsMattie, it was the latter I was able to observe at McDonald...and whilst the woman wasn't big, really, it just wasn't a good look....

EyeballsintheSky · 17/03/2009 13:32

OK, I am a 20, I own one pair of black leggings, one dress and two tops that are nearly dresses. Can I wear the leggings in daylight, outside the house?

duchesse · 17/03/2009 13:37

Leggings were a fashion crime the first time round, and we've significantly gained weight as a population since the 80s... So YAsoNBU.

FairLadyRantALot · 17/03/2009 13:51

eyeball if it looks nice on ya, you can wear anthing ya like...

mylifemykids · 17/03/2009 13:57

Do people still wear leggings?! DH calls them fanny feelers

mummymimi · 17/03/2009 14:25

If leggings and short tops are back in are those terrible bodysuit things with the awkard poppers in the private area coming back??

missblythe · 17/03/2009 14:28

Like these, mummymimi?

Also YANBU!! Even if the bum is nice I don't want to see it in clingy leggings when I wait behind in a queue. Besides I would get very as my bum is not so good in leggings and short tops, okay in long ones though/

Wizzska · 17/03/2009 14:29

I hate those mummymimi. The ones you forget to do up when you're pissed and you end up coming out of the loo with a tail like Patsy from Ab Fab did. Oh my student days...
