Leggings ar pants

I am still oxox — Tue, 02 Jul 2024 12:13:44 GMT

We were sitting and waiting to go to dinner last night and a woman walked by with hot pink leggings so tight you could see the outline of her panties. I can only imagine what the front looked like. IMO they should be left in the aerobics studio and not in public. Unless the private bits are covered

I agree that leggings without a covering longer top would be best worn by extremely thin (and usually this means younger) women!

@I am still oxox I have one pr. of black ponte leggings which are thicker than yoga type leggings. They are also more like a jegging which gives a bit more coverage and hides body parts.

I agree that everywhere I go women of all ages are in leggings....some that must not have a full length mirror or just don't care.

LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS!!!!

I want to shout this out loud for all to hear!!!

With a tunic, that's fine. Cover yourself from all angles.

I've seen too much cellulite, flowered panties, crotches, tuchases, and thongs. The worst are nude or tan colored leggings. Awful, just awwwwful.

What's that funny saying? What three things don't lie? Children, drunks, and leggings!!!

Leggings are not made for every 'body' shape and should not be worn outside in public places where you can see all the nooks and crannies, disgusting IMO.

Last summer while sitting on the boardwalk, I saw what I thought was a pantless woman walking. I just couldn't believe my eyes.

When she got closer, I noticed she was wearing nude colored leggings. Lots of people were staring.

I don't think leggings are pants. They belong in a gym and most people do not look great in them.

Now, even men are wearing them. Yikes.

I've seen a male QVC host wearing them.

Unless they look like Mikhail Baryshnikov in them, that's visual pollution and hurts my eyes.

I don't think women will stop wearing them as long as they are available for purchase.

Hi @StylishLady2. Nice to see you posting. I haven't seen you around the forums in awhile.

You always look great in leather!

To me, I don't care if you are young, have a perfect body, or if you are male or female. IMO, when wearing leggings the front should be covered past the private area and the rear should be covered past the cheeks. To me, it's the same as walking around in pantyhose and nothing else. Remember those 😀. I understand that probably few feel as I do, I'm not judging others, this is how I feel about it for myself.

I admire every single person that isn't thin that wears the leggings!

I want to go up to each one & tell them they look Great!

How wonderful that they are comfortable with their bodies & confident in themselves as human beings to put on what is soft & easy to wear & go live their lives!!

Not in every situation. But if they are just out shopping or walking on the boardwalk, you do it!!

Not everyone that works out & keeps themselves healthy get a lean, thin body.

A lot of people are healthy but have different type bodies & maybe they just came from working out & have on their workout clothes.

Maybe they are just comfortable wearing the leggings.

I admire that.

I get tired of feeling ashamed of myself because someone may be looking at me & judging me for my body, or how I dress, or how my hair is grey.

Well, leggings are MY pants. I work very hard for my body and always have. I have never been overweight, have worked out and run my whole life since high school and never stopped. At 68, I am thin and trim. I life weights (not soup cans) and am fortunate to be in very good health, following good food choices and workout routines. My primary care doctor tells me I am not physically my age, coming in at maybe 10 years younger. I appreciate knowing that. I continue to enjoy good muscle tone, but yes, I do notice age related body changes but for me, they are subtle and I know I must embrace it.

As far as the pants, what I do choose to spend my hard earned cash on is my "workout/work" wear. My leggings typically cost 50 to 90$ because I strive for a good fit. Good fit in the rear, proper fit in the front. I choose dark colors so I can wear them to work and save the fun designs for the weekends. They are appropriate to me, with a good blouse/shirt and flats or boots. Yes I agree, I have seen what I perceive as "girl you should have checked in your mirror."

My 43 years old daughter's running buddy is 73. I can't run with either one of them because they run at a faster pace. At 73, she is trim and also not looking her age. She looks great in clothes and dresses appropriately, but youthful.

If someone is comfortable in their body no matter the size/shape or age, good for them. I would not be comfortable being overweight so I employ a lifestyle that affords a good body where I can wear my leggings.

I don't see women wearing leggings for street wear in my conservative New England town. Maybe I don't get out enough, but I want to avoid eye pollution. I guess some might call me hopelessly old-fashioned, but dressing like a lady means respecting yourself as a woman. Sad that modesty is out of fashion with some folks. I am referring to leggings that are not covered by lunic tops, of course.

I don’t consider it putting anyone down in observing that some women wear leggings that are simply too tight and revealing. It’s an opinion like any other. I do not applaud women who wear thin tight leggings showing every lump and bump. Some may see this as being comfortable with the body you have etc. That’s ok too. I just don’t feel that way so I just don’t look and that’s my prerogative. I’m more concerned about the health issues.

I have leggings and I wear them with longer tops. I like pants better.
