Lovely to find a new item of clothing</p> <p>(It’s the knees that frustrate me on ponte pants / thick leggings as I’ve not found a pair that doesn’t bag out. And then the next thing for me is when I wear pop sox / knee highs as I think people can see the line. My beefs. Not yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111807 Sun, 05 Apr 2020 13:26:28 +0000 Bijou 2111807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they will look very stylish on you. For me,I am happy with my denim and trousers. With white dogs, pointe pants would be covered in fur in 5 minutes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111659 Sat, 04 Apr 2020 14:53:29 +0000 Style Fan 2111659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!&nbsp; The leggings and dressy sweatpants that I saw were from encircled.&nbsp; I am very tempted.&nbsp; I really like the idea of ponte pants but I have never seen them IRL.&nbsp; Why is that?&nbsp; I really need something to wear at home that is not all stretched out and is not too revealing IYKWIM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111512 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 17:53:07 +0000 rachylou 2111512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I support this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111444 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 15:27:42 +0000 notsaf 2111444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, thumbs up to comfy loafers! If they were at all practical, I would definitely own these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111443 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 15:25:22 +0000 notsaf 2111443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the ponte pants from Brass that <b>Jenn</b> has, but the sizing didn't work for me (I have a small waist) so they kept falling down. That's a problem I've had with other ponte pants in the past (I'm remembering a pair from Esprit c. 2014 that were styled like jeans, but actually ponte material), so no I avoid them now. But if you can find a pair that work for you, go for it! I'm on a khaki kick, so am particularly liking you #1. I think Everlane does something like this, too? Keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111441 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 15:15:45 +0000 Mainelady 2111441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these! I do consider them to be more substantial than leggings. I have a few pair that are ponte pants. They wash and wear great and to my eye they give me more of a polished look than the jeggings I am so fond of wearing. &nbsp; I love them with boots, because there is no tucking required and I love them with flats and sneakers. For me they were essential to my work wardrobe.......when I actually left the house to go to work. I haven’t worn a pair in 3 weeks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111437 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 15:07:40 +0000 smittie 2111437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s funny, I don’t see legging as being less dressy than jeans. I think of them as both very casual.</p> <p>I think the main issue is making sure the leggings don’t attract lint and don’t pill. If they’re pristine, they can be dressed up or down.</p> <p>So to make a long story short, I support leggings for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111436 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 15:02:57 +0000 Christina F. 2111436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I can see the appeal! I just rid of most of my ponte pants for being too skinny.</div><div><br /></div><div>My current solution has been joggers! But I also got these from Saint &amp; Sofia (took a long time to exchange for the right size, but it arrived before things got too bad).<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111417 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 13:47:19 +0000 Helena 2111417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tips friends thanks - I'll check out Hue online and Costco come fall (staying far, far away from any Costco until this ordeal is over; they are way too crowded here!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111413 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 13:45:08 +0000 Elizabeth P 2111413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are a costco member... the dahlia ponte pants they sell are AWESOME.&nbsp; Might be too late for them now, but they have them in the winter.&nbsp; Last years version was esp great... I had some from 3-4 years ago too, but they are starting to get a bit baggy so I got more this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111333 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 02:27:03 +0000 hereforthecake 2111333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got several pairs of ponte leggings from "Hue" . They are super opaque and super comfortable. Washed and worn probably 100 times (seriously) and still look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111292 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 00:00:43 +0000 Kathie 2111292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn’t hurt to try. I bought one pair, of the heavier, almost Ponte thick variety, a couple years ago. Definitely not a workhorse item, but a fun change on occasion. Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111290 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 23:55:43 +0000 Helena 2111290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'll definitely have to up my jacket game if I need pursue this strategy! Love that blazer.</p> <p>Yes Lisa, bang on - I definitely mean ponte pants or the equivalent ... Not the gear or thin cottony ones. Good distinction! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111273 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 23:07:28 +0000 LeandraofBleuAvenue 2111273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's definitely a way to keep it classy.&nbsp; I think you're on the right track with choosing dark neutral shades.&nbsp; I usually suggest pairing leggings with tunics or short dresses and please, oh, please, none of those hideous Lula Roe printed leggings.&nbsp; So tacky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111270 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 22:42:14 +0000 Carla 2111270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*cry* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111267 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 22:25:53 +0000 Angie 2111267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, these look like Ponte pants, which are essentially very opaque leggings. If it works for you - milk it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111260 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 22:18:06 +0000 Angie 2111260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see you in #4 - and no, you are not allowed to remove the blazer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111259 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 22:13:19 +0000 Roxanna 2111259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same thought as Lisa ... These seem more structured and substantial, like Ponte pants to me. But either way - love them for your style and your life style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-its-happened-i-may-be-a-leggings-person#post-2111257 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 22:08:53 +0000 Jenn 2111257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got these ponte pants (which are more or less leggings) from Brass Clothing late last year and I LOVE them.

I love wide legs, but pant-weight leggings are far more practical for much of the year where I am.

It's happened. I may be a leggings convert. Ok, so I'm 10 years behind the trend! I'm not talking about gear leggings or tights, but the substantial, pants-worthy-of-the-name type of leggings Angie talked about <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2019/04/02/wearing-leggings-as-pants-yay-or-nay/">here</a>.</p> <p>They are just so comfortable and practical for my lifestyle; however, the challenge is making sure they stay true to my classic-polished-casual style. I've got some ideas and found some fun inspiration today that you might enjoy (yes, one is a maternity photo - I don't care, the blue is too pretty :D). I think a good quality non-gear dark-neutral pair of leggings might be in order (hoping I can buy some through my cousin's small retail store, so that at least I am supporting family and a small business while I'm at it!) to see what in my current wardrobe would work with leggings (vs. jeans - should be most things but probably not all). Also, starting to dream of black comfy loafers to wear with them ... *sigh* </p>
