I personally wouldn't wear leggings with anything shorter than mid-thigh, but it's one of those fashion fallouts - like in the early 00s when everyone wore low-rise jeans with short tops, which also was quite a sight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-139177 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:44:00 +0000 Rosie 139177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya - I do agree with you about what they should and should not be worn with! I admire your passion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-139172 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:18:07 +0000 cciele 139172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>People do come up with "interesting" outfits, for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-139169 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:12:05 +0000 Maya 139169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leggings are basically skin tight knit pants, so they show everything. Every lump and bump.</p> <p>As I said, it's like running around in hosiery. No one does that, so why with leggings? They are not THAT much thicker, like ponte pants. </p> <p>I just find them gross looking and unflattering. It's not that hard to avoid looking gross--just wear a top that covers your hiney! Leggings are good for tops that are too short to be worn as a dress but long enough to be a tunic, or for certain types of dresses. I love leggings but boy are they abused. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-139164 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:57:34 +0000 Rosie 139164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kind of leggings are these people wearing? Sounds like they need new underwear, Maya, in addition to new leggings! Some leggings I have seen are really thick, so I guess I just don't get how they are offensive IF worn with the proper length top. I've seen some pretty terrible "pants" out there that are much more offensive than leggings.</p> <p>I mean, they are basically the same as exercise clothes for the most part - are they offensive? Maya, how do you feel about tunic length shirts? </p> <p>I'm just curious about such a strong reaction. (I don't personally wear them as pants ever.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-139158 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:25:37 +0000 Maya 139158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find leggings as pants offensive in all situations. You are literally running around without proper bottoms! Why not just traipse about in hosiery or shapewear? And the camel toe and VPL are just nasty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-139155 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:09:32 +0000 Kristine 139155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes it's not so bad, but I've seen things that no one should see in public. I don't think basic black would be so bad, but those weird grey ones look especially strange as pants. They show everything. I think people sometimes don't realize that their shirt has ridden up in back. :O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-139079 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:37:47 +0000 Rosie 139079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits sound terrible; however, it seems like leggings as pants has become pretty mainstream. Personally, I think they only belong under at least a long tunic, but I see people wearing them as pants so frequently I don't know if it bothers me anymore. Sometimes it can look cool, a la Blake Lively, but that takes a certain person to pull it off and the right combination of items. </p> <p>Without the disastrous styling and weird combinations, do leggings as pants bother as much? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-139064 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:53:00 +0000 marianna 139064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw a girl wearing floral leggings as pants, with Uggs, the other day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-139055 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:22:59 +0000 Kristine 139055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen a few similar outfits and it's all I can do not to take photos with my phone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-138990 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 12:19:13 +0000 Maya 138990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to one-up you Tam but I have the bad outfit story to end all bad outfit stories: a woman the other day on the street was wearing her dirty sweatpants tucked into mid calf toe socks with flipflops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-138978 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 11:40:23 +0000 yublocka 138978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heheh katiepea I was out at the comedy festival tonight and the comedian I saw was talking about how some people the world over have the same DNA just different accents....bogans, knackers....it was very funny but maybe you just had to be there herh!</p> <p>Still glad to hear I am not alone Jean! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-138974 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 11:33:30 +0000 greenglove 138974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds just nasty- you are not alone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-total-travesty#post-138973 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 11:28:21 +0000 Katiepea 138973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits remind me of a website.

Sitting on the tram with me right now is a girl wearing not only leggings as pants, but wet look leggings as pants. And then for some reason she is wearing hose as socks underneath with ballet flats. Am I being close-minded in just not getting this look? </p>
