Argh and i don't have the confidence to mention it to her she's not the sort you mention these things to!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-102512 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 22:23:18 +0000 marianne 102512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone, but I should say I've been seeing a lot of it as well. Not anything blatant, like see-through and underwear lines, but thicker leggings worn as pants. There is one person I see almost daily who is doing it all the time, and she's quite trendy overall. I would never have the guts to bring it up though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-102499 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:40:04 +0000 Anonymous 102499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is funny, funny, funny Louise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-102462 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:07:17 +0000 Louise 102462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to admit as i walked away i thought my god that could have turned out sooooo badly! luckily she was thankful i'd told her she was just gutted this was 3.30pm so she'd been like it all day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-102461 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:02:46 +0000 RoseandJoan 102461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Louise, a one woman crusade for decency!

You could see her knickers through them! I had to go and politely point it out and suggest that the voluminous tunic she had on the day before with wide leg trousers! would look fantastic with the tights x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-102401 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:36:44 +0000 RoseandJoan 102401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry I really not a fan of the look, the model looks like she forgot to put her trousers on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-102384 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:00:41 +0000 BlondeAmbition 102384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe people are getting the idea to do this through advertisements such as this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.charlotterusse.com/category/index.jsp?categoryId=3456447&#038;clickid=header_outer_button" rel="nofollow">http://www.charlotterusse.com/.....ter_button</a></p> <p>I see this look everywhere on the streets of NY. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-102189 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:16:06 +0000 chewyspaghetti 102189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember this happening the last time that leggings were really big. At first they are more of an accessory, and then people go all crazy and wear them as pants. I don't liek the look even on a young, toned body. They are just not designed to be worn that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-102179 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:08:17 +0000 BlondeAmbition 102179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe the line between leggings and pants is becoming unclear. Now leggings are being made to look like pants and maybe that's what I'm seeing. Maybe I just can't tell the difference between a skinny pant and a legging if the leggings are not see-through.</p> <p>I'm bitter... I'm not skinny enough yet to wear skinnies : ( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-102080 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:42:03 +0000 Maya 102080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately it seems to have been deleted Angie Too bad!

I echo what Louise, Marianna, Julie, Maya, Shiny, Taylor, Jean, Dawn, Tanya and Sandy say whole heartedly. </p> <p>Leggings are to be treated like an accessory. Maya, where is that hilarious leggings site? The one where you see people wearing leggings as if they were pants? </p> <p>As far as skinnies go (jeans or pants), I have no problem wearing them with tops that finish a few inches above crotch point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-102000 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:24:19 +0000 taylor 102000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh nooooo...leggings as pants...I saw an awful example of this over the weekend"( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-101997 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:14:14 +0000 Anonymous 101997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have seen one or two women wear thick tights as pants and it looked OK because the tights were thick and not see through. I do think it is a bad idea in general to wear leggings as pants.<br /> The last time leggings were in style we did wear them as pants. I remember wearing sweaters that hit at my hip with leggings and this seemed OK to me at the time. Maybe I just didn't know better, but I do now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-101963 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:11:32 +0000 Tanya 101963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Dawn - leggings are only worn with longer tops- at least mid-thigh, as an accessory. I do wear skinny jeans with shorter tops, but they are not that short - they usually hit at the base of the jeans zipper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-101939 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:02:55 +0000 shiny 101939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No matter how toned or youthful your figure, this can go wrong in oh so many ways:</p> <p>- camel-toe<br /> - panty lines<br /> - see through<br /> - cellulite</p> <p>Of course, I go out running in running tights, which are essentially leggings, and a short exercise top.... but that's a different story!</p> <p>I still feel weird wearing shorter tops with skinny jeans. I think those work better with a longer top too. Not necessarily a tunic, just longer than what I wear with bootcuts and wider legged jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-101934 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:26:39 +0000 BlondeAmbition 101934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't particularly care for the look, it just seems to be everywhere nowadays. Sometimes it looks good if the material is substantial and the girl has a great body. Other times it's frightening. </p> <p>Would you go up to a total stranger and tell her that her leggings are see-through? This happened last week when I walked past a woman with leggings and a short top and I could see her panties! I still feel bad that I didn't say anything to her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-101823 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:23:27 +0000 Dawn 101823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would never ever ever wear leggings with a shorter top as they are an accessory rather than pants to me. However I have no problem wearing my skinnies with a shorter top. I just make sure the top is a 'pants-length' top and I think it's absolutely fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-101778 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 19:23:26 +0000 RoseandJoan 101778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashion may be bought, but style and decorum are priceless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-101770 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:21:44 +0000 greenglove 101770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see many of my art students doing this. As skinny 18 year olds, it is not that bad a look although they are usually doing it for attention from boys(I think). It looks trashy over a certain age. I think very skinny jeans or knit pants can be tasteful and hip depending on your body type. I would wear them just like jeans as long as the material was substantial. The tops would be the same length I would wear with other jeans.<br /> I would never wear leggings alone with a shorter top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-101765 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 17:33:36 +0000 Maya 101765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is bad taste, not a trend. Did YOU like this look? </p> <p>Just because you see lots of people doing it doesn't mean you should follow suit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-101764 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 17:24:25 +0000 marianna 101764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh. I've seen a million people wearing leggings as pants and I'm not sure what to think of it! It sort of looks like you wore your yoga clothes outdoors... with a dressy top. Odd. I would never do it (nor could I ever do it with my body type!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-101760 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 16:20:55 +0000 Louise 101760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shh don't tell Angie that she'll have a fit!!!!<br /> Her guidance is wear leggings as an accessory not instead of pants. I always think if i wouldn't wear a top with tights (hose) i won't wear it with leggings. Re skinny jeans i think it depends on body shape as to how short you can go with the top x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/legging-trends#post-101759 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 16:13:38 +0000 BlondeAmbition 101759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that I've just gotten the hang of wearing leggings with tunics and long cardigans it seems we have a new legging trend that I see everywhere on the streets of NY. Leggings or skinny skinny skinny pants worn with shorter tops. I just can't keep up... once I get emboldened to try a trend that's out of my comfort zone another that's even more out of my comfort zone springs up. Do you sport this fashion? How short do you go? </p>
