The writer of this article feels that leggings are so ubiquitous, that they're often being worn inappropriately, and comfort has become more important than decorum. I wear leggings and yoga pants to the gym, but l still prefer jeans for everyday wear. How do you feel about this?

Heres a link to the article:

WHAT THE HAY!  That statement keeps me up at night!  I don't look too bad (I'm covered up) when I wear denim but .... but a pair of leggins (to me they are tights) well, it is terrible...just terrible.  I have two knees that 'kiss' each other!  Add to that the fact that I'm 70 and these poor old legs have seen better days.

I am not a believer that anyone and everyone can wear anything!  Sometimes it become obscene.  According to what I've seen and read a top is supposed to come over the stomach area and fit over the hip area (preventing you know what in the front).  Evidentally, many women haven't read that.  

I recently saw 'leggings' being worn by a woman on a morning show.  She was close to my age (which doesn't really matter) but she should have looked in the mirror first because she had on a regular top and it was terrible looking.

Yes, some decorum please. Once upon a time, it was said, a woman's hemline told how good the country was going. Low was not good. No way to tell with leggins is there? I think if you look in a mirror and shudder, you have your answer.

Never!

I live in a state where recently a councilman was quoted by a newsperson as stating "not everyone who wears yoga pants should be" boy, did he take a beating! Think the world has developed a who cares attitude. What I wonder, does anyone look in the mirror before leaving their house?

I like both. There are good looks and bad looks with each.  For myself, I generally wear skinny jeans when I wear jeans, which is often.  They are just flattering on me.  I never wear leggings with a short top, except when I wear the workout kind at dance class or the gym(which are different from the kind I wear to work or out socializing, etc) And I check my appearance from all angles before I leave the house!  I am my harshest critic.

P.S.  For some reason it annoys me that people leave the "g" off of the word leggings. haha

i do not wear leggings I think they show every bad thing on your body. plus I do not wear strech pants only to work out.

Leggings are just tacky

I am confused the writer of the article is inferring that yoga pants and leggings are the same thing and to most people they are not at all the same.
