Do you wear your pants as tight as.... - Page 3

Is that why jeggings and tunics became so popular? I've never worn either and often wondered why anyone would. Thanks for the education.

Jeggings and leggings are two different things. Leggings first became popular in the 14th century, and were worn by men. Jeggings came along much later, and both are still very popular, and worn by all ages.

Personally, I would not subject the general public to the sight of me in skin tight pants.

It would look like 2 St. Bernard puppies fighting under a blanket when I walked away.

I didn't see the show you referenced here, but I think there are actually two issues here.

First, if women like the feeling of snug pants, such as leggings etc, they will tend to wear them. The decision to wear them is based on the "feel" of the garment.

The problem is, Second, that tight pants are NOT FLATTERING on all women.

There are all sorts of clothing options to choose from, and different instances where we'd wear them. A lot of the clothes and shoes I wear at home are for comfort, but I'd wear dressier items when I go out.

Why do women deliberately wear clothing that isn't flattering to her figure?

Could the answer be as simple as she doesn't own a full length mirror? Or she really never learned what flatters her body type?

Or could it be that she doesn't have any friends to tell her when something isn't her best look?

@Tinkrbl44 Some women are confident enough in who they are they don't wear everything they put on their bodies because of how it "flatters" her body type. Some are actually ok with their body type-whether you are are not.

Some larger women wear horizontal stripes, and some short ones like me are ok with things that "don't make my legs look longer" or "cut me off at the waist" because I like it and think it is pretty! I know people understand how tall I am, and am OK with it.

There's inappropriate and that's not what I am talking about. I'm just talking about something that is a good look, appropriate, pretty, I feel good in--but stops at being aimed at fooling people about my height. And it doesn't bother me.

About 20 years I was in a beach town and saw a women who was overweight but beautiful, beautifully groomed with a great haircut and striking jewelry. She was wearing a sleeveless denim dress that was just above knee lenght and looked great.

Even though she was not slim, her arms were showing. Her dress was so neat and fit her so geat, and she looked like a million bucks. I thought about that all winter and the next spring my way of thinking about clothes changed. She hadn't tried to hide herself, but she looked as good as any thin and fit person there.

Are you talking about the jegging sun today’s show? That’s how jeggings fit.

@Sooner

I agree with you 100%.

My mother was a fashion model before she married, and I routinely rebelled against anything that sounded like a fashion "rule". During my teen years her eyes rolled back in her head many times. lol

I was referring to "inappropriate". Once in a while, someone just gets it very wrong and some kind friend needs to suggest something a little different to try.

It seems like they all wear their pants like sausage casing. I don't get it; it's NOT attractive. I always say to myself & my husband if he's watching, "I bet she would look better if she would have sized up one size". Quit squeezing into smaller sizes!

I've lost 70 lbs, you betcha I'm wearing tight jeans! I have every color of Spanx jean-ish jeans and love them. I no longer have problem areas with my body so I'm going for it!

Way back when, I was probably like a lot of young people, I had to have my jeans so tight that I had to lay down to zip them up! Ugh -- looking back I don't know how I stood it, but I don't remember it bothering me back then!

I don't think really tight or really baggy pants are flattering. Neither one does most people a favor.

I prefer pants or jeans to fit comfortably and to caress the body and not squeeze the life out of it. LOL!
