I have very nice and well-maintained feet despite their gargantuan size and glads suit me. Agree however that black leggings with aforementioned glads not a great look. But then, not everyone is blessed with my long tanned legs . Who knows how much worse they might look without the leggings??

Each to their own though and as long as they are happy and comfortable and enjoying the summer

size 14 women who wears black leggings and sundresses with no bra AND gladiators and has the worst PMT in history wishes to challenge any of you who want a piece of my wrath tonight..

They cover legs which are a/ fat b/ pasty or c/ hairy.
They dont make many sundresses with thick enough straps to be able to wear a bra with them.
And gladiators are pretty much the only alternative ive been able find to flipflops which arent always appropriate.
And Kate Moss is still wearing them so meh to all of you..

sorry.

If you are size 14 you need to support your breasts. Visible bra straps are the lesser of two evils.

CerealOffender · 29/06/2010 20:26

strapless bra?

Today I am wearing navy leggings (so nearly black), long very close fitting sleeveless t-shirt (navy and white striped), hasbeens, cropped denim jacket and long string of pearls and I look fabulous .

Seriously - think leggings are fine.

Perhaps its the black factor - but then I'm not a fan of black jeans or trousers of any kind really.

Am also now very scared of foureleven

foureleven · 29/06/2010 20:30

Theyre a 34 DD and as pert as an 18 year olds thankfully. I only dont wear a bra when I wear a sundress so supported all the rest of the time... even in bed.

Theyre happy breasts.

traceybath, you sounds like a flippin goddess in your ensemble

MarshaBrady · 29/06/2010 20:31

I like good quality leggings that are long and don't cut the leg off at any point.

TrillianAstra · 29/06/2010 20:35

at happy breasts. I am so very glad. I see a lot of unhappy breasts around and think if you were blessed with such things you should look after them

Tracey I hope your t-shirt is bum-covering, no matter how fabbo your bum may be.

noddyholder · 29/06/2010 20:35

Nice leggings on good legs look nice but short leggings plus gladiators really shorten the leg and look terrible.

Franup · 29/06/2010 20:36

Like'em both and worn together.

Not tattoos though!

SixtyFootDoll · 29/06/2010 20:38

You're jealous
I look fab in my glads and cropped legings
I do wear a bra though, and dont have tattoos.

MarshaBrady · 29/06/2010 20:38

Traceybath that is a damn great outfit!

traceybath · 29/06/2010 20:38

Bum safely covered

34d and pert

LetThemEatCake · 29/06/2010 20:41

gosh, just to clarify - I like leggings! Just not with glads.

FolornHope · 29/06/2010 20:41

TrillianAstra · 29/06/2010 20:44

30 degrees?

traceybath · 29/06/2010 20:45

30 degrees - jolly well isn't here! I live on a very exposed hill - tis cool.

DarrellRivers · 29/06/2010 21:21

LTEC, update your blog please

paddingtonbear1 · 29/06/2010 21:22

I like leggings and love glads, but my feet just aren't the right shape to fit in them.

FolornHope · 29/06/2010 21:23

was 20 degrees at 8am today

harverina · 29/06/2010 21:27

Sorry but I live in leggings and dresses during the summer! V.comfy! I really dont think that they look that bad...I always make sure I wear a dress/top way past my bum though!

Have very scarred AND pale legs, so leggings are a godsend. But I'm scared of glads as I'm convinced that as soon as I buy a pair they will die a death.

Can't go braless any more, even at a pathetic 36B, and am in awe of foureleven. Congrats! But

LetThemEatCake · 29/06/2010 21:34

Have also applied for a job that wanted examples of online work that others have commented on so feel free to go on and say how much you love your RI khakis and how you owe it all to me!!

LouIsWaltzingMatilda · 29/06/2010 21:36

I would like to know when leggings replaced trousers?
Especially thin stretchy ones that become see through when stretched over a not so small arse.
