Flesh coloured leggings? Seriously ?

Almost fell over my child after catching sight of an older lady wearing flesh coloured leggings and cropped top from behind! Honestly I thought she was naked, no joke. I could see her bum crack! If my mother went out like this I would be disgusted. Why on Earth would anyone wear this? Some fashion trends should be binned lol

I saw someone in flesh coloured leggings and matching top the other day, that caused a double take! I agree, really odd trend!

mallowchick · 03/08/2022 12:54

Isn't it? I mean I get that some trends aren't for everyone but to me this is just ridiculous.

Ha I know and flesh coloured tops or swim wear Grin

Any vaguely skin tone colour leggings and the wearer looks naked, even if it isn't the colour of their skin. The light ones tend to show cellulite and a knicker line

I've seen the same whilst driving - it's actually dangerous! And hideous!
Imagine having such appalling dress sense.

xogossipgirlxo · 03/08/2022 14:09

I could never understand skin tone leggings or jeans. They look awful. Absolutely awful. Like walking around with bare ass.

EmmaH2022 · 03/08/2022 14:15

Yup, seen this quite a few times this year

weird

i guess they find to funny to look nude from a distance?

BiscoffSundae · 03/08/2022 14:18

I remember telling my mum how awful these are then for my next birthday she bought me some! 😑 obviously didn’t wear them, not sure why her Age is relevant though? They look awful on any age

MeridianGrey · 03/08/2022 14:18

It’s not like it suits people with “perfect “ bodies, it just looks hideous on everyone.

@mallowchick i suspect your mum would feel the same if she saw you out like that.

mallowchick · 03/08/2022 14:20

@MeridianGrey she wouldnt get the opportunity - as a larger girl, ones ass wouldn't be subjecting leggings of any shade upon the public eye

It's a Kim K thing. Yep they are awful

Furrydogmum · 03/08/2022 15:00

Yes, non uniform day in a secondary school can be interesting 🤐

Maireas · 03/08/2022 15:02

I agree with you about non uniform day!
I have a sixth formers who dress like this every day. Flesh coloured leggings, flesh coloured crop top or boob tube.
It'd definitely a thing!

CuriousCatfish · 03/08/2022 15:02

Is it just older womens bodies that disgust you?

apintortwo · 03/08/2022 15:03

Yes, they are awful

APurpleSquirrel · 03/08/2022 15:04

Had a neighbour (middle-aged man) who often wore flesh-coloured shorts - that is not something you want to see when half awake!
He wore them so often we used to warn each other!

What did you say when she gifted them to you?

SheWoreYellow · 03/08/2022 15:09

I think she is relevant and it shows it’s not just teens who have been sucked in by a stupid trend.

SheWoreYellow · 03/08/2022 15:10

age! Age is relevant.

mallowchick · 03/08/2022 15:11

@CuriousCatfish - Public nudity shocks at any age.

Cruisebabe · 03/08/2022 15:44

😂😂

tobee · 03/08/2022 16:55

So I've not seen these in the flesh (ha) and so googled. Are they like this?:-
