The annual leggings thread - will you be wearing them this spring?

[TuscanMum]

Never an issue for me in winter as I always wear opaque tights and dresses or skirts.

But spring and summer (ha) leggings are always a nice idea! Still warm but can wear sandals.

Please let me know if you’ll be wearing leggings this year!

No way. They are criminal.

Dear god who really cares that much what other people wear?!

Here are some things I really, REALLY don't think look good:

• thin tights
• ankle boots
• 99% of jeans on 99% of women
• anything with breton stripes

I really couldn't give a shit if others wear them though. Wear what you like and feel comfortable in.

expat let's not beat around the bush here, I assume you're talking about fat women. So let me ask you - if I were fat and wore one of two outfits:

A) leggings with calf length dress and boots
B) Exact same outfit except with black opaque tights not leggings

What exactly is your logic for suggesting option A is heinous and option B is not? How do leggings look any different from black opaque tights if the arse is covered and someone is wearing boots, for eg?

I wear footless tights in spring and long skirts in summer. Cotton leggings make my legs and arse look oddly fat, but I need a way to cover my varicose veins and I like wearing sandals as much of the year as possible.

CopASquat, the OP is asking a question and we are answering them that's all. I am an ardent lover of leggings and wear them most days.
As far as option A or B. Definitely no to both.

Yes. I found a great pair of luxe leggings in the sainsburys sale last week- very thick and great quality, £3 reduced from a tenner! I bought 6 pairs of socks, a thermal top and 2 bras. Grand total of £24.

I wear mine with trainers and long oversized tees, not ballet flats and dresses.

I own no shoes which are not converse or trainers and I own no dresses.'

This is my hell

love it when someone comes onto a STYLE thread and says people shouldn't have opinions

fantastic

I like leggings with a skirt bit attached. I bought these recently, can't wait to wear them

No way. Hate them. They're not proper clothes.

Oh I like those Rightknockered!

Not in spring. Or Summer. Or autumn. Or winter.

No.

I never knew anyone who wore them except Dsis! The nearest I got was ski leggings under my trousers. Everyone I know wears skinny jeans or thicker tights. Leggings are a uniform for some but they should be in the clothes recycling bin now! Move on! They have never looked good and I’m surprised you can still buy them.

Yes, but I wear them as footless tights. Or instead of tights under boots as I find them more comfortable. Never without below bum covering!

This is my hell

It's almost like we're all different isn't it? Imagine that.

Lol! No, I'm an adult.

I wear them all year round with dresses, boots in the winter, sandals or converse in the summer. I even wear cropped leggings too. Wear what you like.

They are an easy habit to break as they're so damn comfy but I reckon they've been out of fashion for a good 5 years now.

As someone with a sister works in fashion they definitely haven't.

She’s on the till at Florence and Fred right?

Actually she's a buyer for TopShop (which I hate TBF).

But I do love F&F myself so

In only wearing them at the moment because I'm pregnant. Due in 6 weeks and on a freezing day an oversized long jumper and leggings has been really comfy. And on a not so cold day I've been wearing them with those long button down shirts that Zara do. I'm no style icon but I'm comfy. I don't really suit leggings normally though so probably won't wear them much after the baby.

They are house clothes !! Nothing better than to get out of jeans or smart clothes into a pair of old Primark leggings and a big sweatshirt!!

Wear them with sandals , go for it.
I don't know where the rest of you live, but it's usually far too cold to go bare legged in spring.

Yes. I'll be wearing them with dresses.

I just don't have the legs to have them out and I'm not living in trousers all summer!
