I've worn them with just a long t-shirt. If I didn't have such a huge arse I'd consider wearing them with just a normal top. I'm just sick of seeing a gazillion wag wannabes wearing those wet look leggings with a big ruffly top and platform heels. Booooooooooooooooring.

Don't. It looks horrible.

Unless you're going to/coming from the gym. That's the only time it's acceptable.

Otherwise, I will make fun of you. So that everyone can hear.

Uhhh I wear leggings as pants all the time now. They make my butt look great and everyone compliments me when i wear them.

I think it depends on if you can pull it off. I'm small so they accentuate me well and I don't seem to be getting dirty looks when i wear them?

It depends what the leggings are like. I dislike thoughs wet look ones too. Reminds me of leather 90's style pants eww.

I'd prefer to see something teamed with them unless you have an exceptional looking body. I wouldn't wear them but some people can pull the look off.

Tia

Very, very few people can pull them off.

Tip: NO PANTY LINE. Pleeeaaaase. So distracting in a bad way. That's my main problem with leggings.. if there is even the slightest problem with fit, or with your fitness level, it just looks gross. Like your legs are hunks of cottage cheese, even if they really aren't in real life.. leggings will make them so. And then I have to walk behind you staring in fascination at how horrible your ass looks. Noo. At the very least wear a shirt or something that's tunic length and goes below the butt-crease-line. Thank you.

Hahahaha wow such intense opinions!!

My little experiment was I was going down to a nearby suburb where I used to live and there's lots of hippies and bums and stuff and I got wolfwhistled FOUR times because of these pants.

Now, there's no fucking way in hell I look as good in them as Ghetto does...but I know when I'm in shape I do quite well hehe. I did feel like a commonwhore though. I have a distinct need not to feel like everyone else and when I do I kind of drip off the radar a little bit and don't walk with pride and vim and all things good so I'm going ignore Slive and wear them..AS PANTS..occasionally.

And under my new red hot dress thing which arrived today and I look stunning in it. Yay!

I've worn leggings twice in the past few years: once on Halloween and another for my 30th bday, which had an 80's theme. Both times I wore a long shirt over them, as I'm not quite as fit as I once was... say in the 80's.

Tia is definitely right though. The panty line problem is one of the hardest things about wearing leggings!!!

My problem, Syco, is that I'm in NYC right now and every little hipster girl is wearing leggings. Every single damn one. It's another ridiculous fad and uuhhhggg. So now whenever I see someone in leggings I just... no. Over here it's not a sign of individuality.

You know what leggings are like, to me? They're like Uggs.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Tia @ Apr 7 2009, 12:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div>Tee hee. I feel like that with most of the major fashion trends. My philosophy: if I'm gonna regret it in 10 years, I just don't wear it.

Anything in fashion that resembles the 80's I don't go there cause I was already wearing it back then. Been there done that sort of feeling.
But my daughters (age 11 and 9) are wearing black leggings with lace on the bottom, it suits them, they wear a short skirt , dress or shorts or long top over them.

Sinister

Nay.

Wearing them as part of an outfit when you go out? Thumbs down . Those things were big in the 80s and early-mid 90s - you've seen that chick....she's got a dark floral print dress on, a leather jacket for a bit of "reality bites" edge, a pair of doc martin's boots, and those dam leggings on - and she swears that looks cool. It's a new century people. Nothing wrong with a bit of retro flavor but leggings only need to be worn around the house or at a gym as one poster mentioned.

Sure, younger girls can get away with it. But if you're over 25 wearing those things...eww. Run to the nearest department store and buy some jeans. And jeans NEVER go out of style.

I have spoken.

Fashion resurfaces, get over it. And it never comes back exactly the way it was.

My style has never been one that follows trends. I may incorporate something from the current trend into my own style, but I think I understand the hatred toward leggings and how every girl is wearing a tunic top of some sort with leggings. That's not exactly how I wear them so whatever, I wear what I like, and I get lots of compliments so if someone hates what i'm wearing, they can kick rocks.

As for the the panty lines, wear those invisible panty line thongs. Magic.

Yes because putting a summer shoe in your crack will fix the issue.

Sorry, just a little, culture joke there to...lighten things up.

Fail!
