Re: So tired of the legging look

I love leggings and look good in them. Believe me, my daughters would certainly tell me if I didn't. They are perfect for winter with boots, longer sweaters or tunics, and thigh length parkas. I also wear them to hockey games with boots and my team jersey. I live in the western suburbs of Chicago and they are worn by many people here.

Wouldn't trade mine in. Love them with a long top and boots.

Re: So tired of the legging look

I see leggings here and there. There are more jeans, lounge-type pants, knit pants, and some old-school cloth type pants (maybe some kind of twill). Sick of the skinny jeans too.

Tired of seeing leggings on QVC and HSN hosts. It's seems to be nearly half of the clothing items they both try to sell.

Maybe school kids, including college kids wear them but it's a "fashion" trend that I would be happy to see gone.

Re: So tired of the legging look

I read an article that said legging sales surpassed jeans sales. I see leggings on campus, at lunch, at coffee, shopping, at the movies, etc. I think it's great that we have the choice to dress comfortably and fashionably. I wear leggings with some dresses and some skirts, with tunics, and with long cardigans and long jackets. I like the support they give me, and I like layering. I look forward to wearing the TSV skirted legging when the weather gets warmer. I don't think we should criticize what others wear; it's whatever works for them.

Re: So tired of the legging look

I don't mind leggings at all, provided you wear the right top with them, i.e., a longer one that covers the hip and posterior area.

What I am really tired of seeing out in public is the yoga pant type thing. Most people wearing them don't look like they are in touch with their athletic side at all and they seem to pick ones that are perhaps 2 or 3 sizes too small. Then, they wear little short tops with them. They wear this type of thing to do everything in and go every where in. I know that, yes, it's comfortable and takes no time to throw on, but ---- uhhh ---- girls, ladies --- you are not doing your figure or yourself any favors.

Re: So tired of the legging look

I really don't see the leggings on most women I see them on teenagers who have tiny sizes. The women I see are wearing jeans sweaters and nice handbags!

Re: So tired of the legging look

Easy fix, don't wear them. Especially if you don't have the body type.
