I'm happy! Too many women wear leggings without checking a mirror.

My priority with any pants is fit (I'm slim to average with 28" long legs) .  I love leggings and slim ankle pants (full length on me); they are a God send!  Why doesn't QVC have "petite only" shows?

Delusional? How do you know who 'checks a mirror"? Why does it matter to you what someone else wears?  There is a plethora of fashion options and thankfully we  get to choose for ourselves, not to be restricted or dictated by those with narrow views/preferences Woman Wink

I love joggers but not in cotton or sweatpants material. I like thin woven joggers without a band at the bottom. I prefer them to leggings because they fit loosely around the legs.


@JJsMom 

the only pair I tried were a woven from G by Guiliana, complete with pleating and zippered fly. just wasn't a fan on me.

 

Don't really do athleisure and I detest elastic waist pull ups.....I do have a couple of slimming option leggings that look great (they're boot cut so look like trousers) but hard to get past the elastic!!! I prefer the ease in and out of a zipper!


I love elastic waist joggers! lol I find them super easy to get on and off. Joggers aren't skin tight like leggings, and that's why I prefer them. I like a more relaxed fit around my waist and legs most of the time. I've done the skinny jeans and leggings but just prefer the looser fit of joggers. I find zippers kind of bulky and uncomfortable.

 

Below is an example of what I like. If you cover the waistband, they can almost pass for dressy pants. They are perfect for travel because they are lightweight and don't wrinkle.

I don’t wear either. My sister tried on a pair of joggers today. She didn’t like them. They’re not my style, but I think they can look cute on others. I remember and wore the old banded bottom sweats many years ago, but I don't own any now.

Those are cute because there's no banding that I see. As for the elastic I'm just elast iphobic! LOL I don't like it on my sleeves either.

I do have some ponte knit One World leggings that I got years ago that don't incorporate elastic waistbands. I find them much more comfortable but apparently they're not doing them that way anymore

Joggers are cute on a very small % of women, on everyone else they make the leg look short and thick.


Not if you wear heels with them...
