Do you wear leggings ?

I have worn them in the past with a longline jumper. When I say leggings, I mean the cotton type. Not something like Sweaty Betty lycra type leggings which in my mind are quite sculptured and shapely.

This thread is really not reflective of how I see leggings being worn in real life. I don't know anyone who wears cotton leggings as tights under a dress or tunic. That was a trend from about 100 years ago. Everyone I know in their 30s and 40s wears seamless exercise-type leggings with short boxy tops to show off their gym gains or more casually with a hoodie or chunky jumper. I do both, so sue me... I leave the tight crop tops with leggings/shorts look to the teens and early 20s lot though, and I won't touch a scrunch bum 😉

Yes. I wear gym type ones for the school run (it’s a 20 min walk) they are the comfiest thing to walk in, as I power walk home.

Most of the other school mums wear leggings too.

I rarely wear them outside of the school run though.

When do they get dressed?

Presumably it's like me when I walk the dogs in the morning.....chuck on joggers and a sweatshirt then get dressed properly when I get in.

I wear them a lot, love the thermal ones for winter but wear cotton ones too. I wear them with v neck tshirt or a chunky jumpy. I'm older but a size 8 so i think they look fine. I'm not bothered about 'looking lazy' whatever that means.

Yes I wear them around the house, when wfh in winter and also at soft play, usually with a jumper or hoodie. I tend to wear a dress the rest of the time as I find jeans uncomfy.
