I sport the look but I ALWAYS have my bum covered. ^__~ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230922 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 17:14:39 +0000 Scarlet 230922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a similar vein, I always thought this lady from Angie's Zurich post looked great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230921 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 17:12:04 +0000 Scarlet 230921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe they are Pontes. I guess since there are no visible pockets it looked like leggings to me, but the material is clearly substantial, so maybe they are really Ponte knit pants. That resolve my confusions. I am also thinking that the substantialness of her shirt helps somehow too. It looks like a knit with some weight as opposed to a t-shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230877 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:57:16 +0000 Emily 230877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She has a great figure, but I still think the top should be longer. I wonder what it looks like from behind too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230851 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:14:29 +0000 Barbara 230851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think she's wearing ponte knit pants. If they ARE leggings, then her top should be a TAD longer. As in long enough to cover her derriere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230838 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 14:57:40 +0000 Queen Mum 230838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wondered the same thing Angie said. Are these leggings or pants?<br /> I also echo what Kari said. If we are indeed talking thick leggings, just because she can get away with it doesn't mean we can all run out and copy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230836 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 14:54:26 +0000 Angie 230836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think this lovely lady is wearing Ponte knit pants. She looks fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230732 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 11:35:00 +0000 yublocka 230732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SHE looks great, but she would look great in a potato sack. I still think she'd look better in that particular outfit with jeans i.e. actual pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230641 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 05:33:22 +0000 MsMary 230641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh. "Cover the good china." Heh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230637 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 05:28:01 +0000 Scarlet 230637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still smiling about cover the good china I would agree that Tanya and Megan could pull this off. I am not familiar with you yet, Carlyquinn - no slight intended :)</p> <p>AJ - you have a point--she should probably bend from the knees :)</p> <p>It's interesting to read everyone's responses. I guess she is walking the line, so not everyone is going to like it. I agree with those who said the thick material is key. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230625 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 05:05:47 +0000 AJ 230625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, this still makes me cringe. She drops her paper and bends over...ACK! My eyes! My eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230620 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 04:40:29 +0000 Megan 230620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL@ Maya's 'cover the good china' </p> <p>Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230610 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 04:06:09 +0000 Anonymous 230610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works for her figure. I really don't see any problem with using leggings as pants as long as you cover the " front bits" and "bum", like Maya said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230587 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 03:07:46 +0000 CarlyQuinn 230587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think it looks fine! i would wear leggings as pants as long as they're not emphasizing any dimples i don't want emphasized, and as long as there's no camel toe! I do have several pairs of pants that are fairly legging-like at the top but then flare out. They are a thicker fabric and I've never felt uncomfortable wearing them with a short top. I think thicker fabric is definitely key, obviously you wouldn't want to wear a slightly sheer legging this way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230568 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 01:54:17 +0000 Maya 230568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cover the bum and the front bits. That's all I ask. I wear tops that are short by YLF standards, but they always cover the good china. This is a little short for me since I am probably curvier than her and that top would be riding up on me, but it works just fine on her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230543 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 01:02:43 +0000 lady 230543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmmm...this toes the line for me. my initial thought is she needs to put on some clothes. it doesnt immediately look ok. if any factor deviated slightly, this would be a 'NO' for me. this could still be adjusting my eye to this look though...and the trend marches bravely forward without my approval, LOL.</p> <p>ETA: this is definitely my hang up with leggings personally bc I just imagined that she was wearing dark denim skinnies and don't think I'd bat an eye at that look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230535 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 00:53:03 +0000 Megan 230535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will admit to wearing an outfit similar to that (slightly longer top that JUST covers my tush). </p> <p>I'm about her build and I think it worked fine </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230504 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 00:20:12 +0000 Kari 230504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She does! But if you changed the outfit subtly - made the leggings less thick, since these look like they could be a pretty sustantial ponte knit, or made the top a few inches shorter - or substituted a woman with more hips in the same outfit that the model is wearing in this photo - I think that would cross the line for me to the point where the leggings were no longer appropriate without a longer top.<br /> There's a fine line somewhere, but it's becoming blurry to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230405 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 21:20:14 +0000 Tanya 230405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She does look great, and does leggings are pretty thick. I would personally wear it if top/sweater were 5 " longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230403 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 21:17:30 +0000 Marigold 230403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She looks fine to me :), I think thicker fabric is a key here (she has a figure to pull that look perfectly well, too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230401 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 21:14:36 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 230401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230400 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 21:14:00 +0000 MsMary 230400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, she looks all kinds of great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230397 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 21:13:02 +0000 Marley 230397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I agree! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-as-pants-1#post-230392 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 21:01:41 +0000 Scarlet 230392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you saw this woman on the street how would you feel about the leggings as pants? I am not advocating the look in general, but this particular instance works for me. I wouldn't wear this outfit myself, but I think she looks great. </p> <p>On the image - I don't know where it is from. Apologies to the photographer. </p>
