Lovelyish

I hate when I see people wearing PJs out in public.
I’ll admit I’m not exactly fashion-savvy, but for crying out loud I don’t go out wearing pajamas and slippers like so many people do!

I don’t know if I agree that leggings shouldn’t be worn as pants– they do look good!
(But.. crap, I am the guy that just likes looking at the girls wearing them! So I’m Exhibit A lol)

I agree. I like looking at the girls wearing them as much as the next guy, but they aren’t real pants. That’s why we like looking at them; they’re like a warmer version of pantyhose (at least, I’m assuming they’re warmer).

Thank you! Leggings are NOT pants!

I wear them with long shirts that go past my butt, not regular shirts. But I have a really nice ass, so I don’t think many would complain if I did wear them with regular shirts. 

Oh for God’s sake, get over it. I’m not sure why so many people are butt hurt over women in leggings. If your ass is showing, it’s probably not a great idea, but is it really PSA worthy? People look like crap in all kinds of clothing and I see no point in caring. What they wear does not affect YOU. Bury the goddamn horse; we’ve beaten it enough.

what’s wrong with guys running in tights?

@chicbananas@xanga - <— this right here. 

How many times are you going to post about this? I mean, it has probably been posted on lovelyish 5 or 6 times. 
You don’t want to see panties through too-tight leggings, and no one wants to see a camel toe. We get it. You’ve said your piece now move along. 

@chicbananas@xanga - maybe it IS PSA worthy. I have seen so many bitches with their asses showing…FAT ASSES, and I’m sorry, but it does hurt me. On the inside. And it hurts my eyes! Obviously, no one told them they were doing a very very bad thing, so I think someone has to, even if it’s been said 1 million times before.

@letmedie_2087@xanga - I just, I can’t even approach your level of judgmental mindedness.  

@letmedie_2087@xanga - Here’s a suggestion, STOP LOOKING. That should help your eyes. Get busy minding your own business and I’m sure you’ll feel much better.

@letmedie_2087@xanga - I’m sorry you let yourself get offended by the dumbest of things. The beauty of eyes is that they can be averted, and they come with lids to shield them!

Personally, I think leggings as pants are kind of dumb (unless you’re wearing them under a long shirt or dress, but then they’re not really acting as pants, so…), but I’m not the one wearing them, so whatever floats ya boats ladies.

@letmedie_2087@xanga - Wow. I’m sorry that you are so easily affected inside and out by the people around you. If this is how you feel about leggings, how must you then feel about world hunger? That must positively cripple you!

leggings should not be worn as pants.. it’s extremely unflattering and kinda sleazy in my opinion. i also will bitch my face off when i see people wearing pajamas at a fucking mall or restaurant.. it takes about 1 minute to put a pair of jeans on, it ain’t that hard.

I wear my clothes for myself, not to appeal to nameless men on the street.

Well I never wear leggings as pants but if other girls want to then I don’t care. If you’re gonna complain about fashion faux-pas then why don’t you talk about guys wearing their pants below their butts so you just see their underwear? Now I personally think that’s much worse than leggings. 

I agree with this post. Mostly becuase leggings ARE NOT PANTS! They are meant to be worn under dresses and skirts for a style. I’m so sick of seeing camel toes around my school becuase girls…just…don’t know how to dress themselves sometimes..apparently….and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD if you are a plus size woman, these look even worse as pants! This is coming from a plus size girl herself. 

My opinion:

Leggings: Meh.

Yoga Pants: Sure.

To quote Julia Roberts as Erin Brockovich, “As long as I have one ass instead of two, I’ll wear what I like.”  I don’t see why we all shouldn’t be entitled to this same mentality.

@letmedie_2087@xanga - I could write something clever, or a clear valid explanation as to why your comment is idiotic, but I’ll just get straight to the point – Shut the f*ck up!

While leggings shouldn’t be warn as pants, many of my pairs of leggings ARE actually warmer than jeans! A friend the other day just told me of a store that sells gorgeous leggings that are actually fleece on the inside (she was wearing a pair, they were adorable, it was 20 degrees outside and snowing – in the northern area of Arizona where we flip out when this happens – and she was warm). So leggings CAN be warmer than pants, but you should still wear a skirt or shorts over it.

I myself, because I just moved up to this northern region in the past year and I’m not used to the cold, I wear leggings UNDER my jeans to stay warm. I usually wear one pair of leggings over 2 pairs of socks (one pair which comes up to my knees, and a pair of jeans. Then I’m snug .

I’d never wear leggings as pants myself but I LOVE seeing other women in them.

(I’m sorry I can’t help it, I’m a pervert)

My dude likes it when I wear them. Probably because they hug my ass in a nice way. 

So your opinion is irrelevant. 

So…leggings are like sweatpants, lazy and original. 

I don’t wear them as stand alone pants most of the time but I do love leggings. Also there are kinds of leggings that aren’t spandex-tight. Overall, nothing I wear in a Minnesota winter keeps me warm so I don’t see the difference. 

leggings shouldn’t be worn as only pants – with a dress, skirt, or a long sweater, sweatshirt, shirt in general – as long as it’s covering the butt that’s okay. but what i hate is hearing girls complain about how cold they are when they’re wearing boots, winter coat, gloves, scarves…. and leggings as pants. UH HELLO?!?! i freeze even when i have a ton of layers on – if you’re thinking leggings alone will keep you warm enough in the winter (if you’re in the area) when there is snow or ice on the ground, you’re nuts!

I don’t like it either but, they have every right to dress like that if they want to. 

I only like to wear leggings like tights…always under something like a dress

leggings are not pants. Whether you are big, small, or in between it doesn’t matter. It’s not judgemental for people to say they are offended by this. If you don’t want to see someone’s ass you shouldn’t have too. Leggings with shirts that cover your butt or have skirts, shorts, dresses, etc. fine but just as pants no. It’s pretty stupid to call someone out for being offended by it. That’s like calling them stupid for being offended if someone talking to them has really bad breath.

OMG thank you.  Leggings are NOT pants.  Also, nylons are NOT leggings.  I wear leggings only if I am wearing something like a sweater dress that is just a little too short that it’d be compromising without something underneath (leggings/skinny jeans).  And not everyone can pull off leggings, too BTW.  I don’t wear white leggings.  Or printed leggings.  Black works fine for me.  Not that I wouldn’t like to, I just know they don’t look good on me. 

there are a lot of leggings that are incredibly warm

ladies,j ust because this one guy, or any other guy, says he doesn’t like it, just wear what you want
if this guy said he LIKES leggings as pants, still, wear what you want because you think it looks good 

@Hinase@xanga - =]

this was cute but i still love my fucking leggings.

@chicbananas@xanga - @ConfessionsOfAWhore@xanga - @carydeeluxe@xanga - love you guys

and to add on to my last comment, I kind of dont undertsand when people are offended by certain articles of clothing that don’t blatantly have some vulgar picture, like something racist 

Could someone explain why pajama pants are offensive ? 0.o

I second this. I’ve never worn leggings or yoga pants. I have long johns but damn, they’re for work/play outside in freezing temps and are worn beneath my outerwear. Leggings are atrocious, they remind me of little girl tights worn to church under flannel winter dresses in my by-gone days. The only exception I make for wearing them are track and field girls, ahem. 

so sick of hearing stuff about leggings as pants. get over it. its pretty much the same thing as yoga pants but with a straight leg and theyre super easy to wear into rainboots or something on a gross day when you do wanna wear jeans that are gonna stay wet all day. i agree you should have something covering your butt somewhat, but still!

its gonna rain tomorrow..im wearing leggings with my rainboots and something covering my butt.

As long as I don’t see any camel toe, then wear leggings by all means. I don’t give two shits.

Also, jeggings are a good alternative, especially if they have functional pockets and a zipper fly.

Leggings… are warmer than jeans. They’re also more practical for tucking into the boots you’d likely be wearing if you live anywhere with a decent amount of snow.

Derp.

I think they are a little too tight in the crotch area to be worn as pants, meaning with a regular shirt that doesn’t come down past the crotch/ass area. Nobody wants to see that, or at least I don’t. But wearing them with a long sweater/tunic thing, totally fine. I think it’s cute and it’s comfortable.

although i enjoyed a good laugh while reading some of the comments above, i think it’s safe to say that some people need to spark up a blunt & chill the fuck out . there are more important things to get your panties in a bunch about, trust me when i tell you that leggings aren’t that serious.

but back to the topic at hand .

it is getting colder out, last semester i saw my roommate put on leggings and then put on her jeans. BRILLIANT IDEA. girls like leggings for the same reason guys like leggings – they make your ass look LOVELY! the problem with leggings is that [ just like everything else ] they don’t look good on everybody . personally i don’t wear colored leggings because i think my ass is too big and i don’t need any more added attention to it . not everyone has this same outlook – & hey guess what? THAT’S OKAY! we’re all entitled to our opinion.

i love love love leggings, but definitely don’t think you should wear them out unless they’re covering your butt and crotch.  it’s kind of like undergarments or long johns.  i definitely don’t deny that they’re very warm and comfy, but it’s just not that hard to find a tunic, skirt, short, or dress to style it.  it’s like if someone were to wear tights out without anything covering them, it’s ridiculous.  at least that’s how i see leggings functioning.  if anything, do jeggings if you’re going to wear them solo…

I dont wear leggings as pants because I consider it trashy and unladylike and because they are NOT PANTS. And obviously this topic has caused a stir among these loveies, but it should be addressed because seeing other plus sized women walking around with only leggings on IS NOT ATTRACTIVE. Sorry. & yes I’m plus sized so I can talk. 

“It keeps you ladies warm” – no, it really doesn’t, haha. I rarely wear leggings, but I own a few sweater dresses that require leggings, and they do nothing to keep us warm. Then again, neither do a lot of things nowadays. I find my legs are freezing in jeans or sweatpants as well. Some days I feel like I need a North Face jacket also wrapped around my legs just to keep them warm too. Getting back on track, I don’t think leggings should ever be worn as pants. I have no desire to see girls’ camel toes and neon pink thongs.

Haha. I hate when people bitch about leggins. In the 80s and 90s, people wore them as pants all the time. Get over it. I love my ass and my legs, so I’m going to wear leggins as pants if I please

@letmedie_2087@xanga - dude. get some trees and chill out. seriously. it’s… an article of clothing…

I have no problem with leggings as pants. Unless the butt is showing. The moment the butt starts to show I cringe. I don’t really even wear leggings anymore because my boyfriend doesn’t like them, and I like him to be attracted to me. When I did wear leggings though, I made sure that I was always wearing them with a dress or a long shirt. I’ve never even had leggings warm enough to wear during the winter time. 

Leggings are legit tapered yoga pants.

Or how about we let them wear whatever the hell they please? How about that?

I think only skinny/fit girls look good in these pants. They look moronic in the winter, and the leggings are almost always see-through and I don’t like that. I don’t want to see your thong. Ew. But I mean, if you have rockin’ legs, whatever. Then I can deal (even though the visible thong still grosses me out). Too many out of shape people do this, though, and then the thong problem is even worse….

Oh my GOD, why do you care so much?! People need to mind their own damn business. If you don’t like them, don’t wear them and focus on your own life.

leggings aren’t that bad depending on who is wearing it. those matching color velour jumpsuits are hideous and so tacky.

Haters gonna hate. Still going to wear my leggings and crop-tops.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.urlesque.com/media/2010/05/hatereagle.jpg

@harleyy93@xanga - Absolutely agree on that one. It annoys the crap out of me when I see guys with their butts hanging out of their pants.. I mean.. Really?! To me it just looks incredibly stupid and dumb. My little brother used to do it. I kept telling him to hoist up his pants until he stopped walking around with his pants halfway down his legs(around me anyway).

yanno… there’s more then just spandex leggings… unless you’ve worn them and know what you’re wearing then maybe you have a right to talk. some of them are actually really warm. depends on the ones you buy.

Seeing a chick in leggings as pants is like sighting someone with a trail of toilet paper stuck to their shoe, or a nip slip gone unnoticed… I feel terribly embarrassed for them because 95% of the time they look fucking ridiculous.

I don’t care how nice you or your boyfriend thinks your ass looks, you still look dumb.

Unless you’re wearing an actual dress with leggings and boots, I don’t get it. Camel toe completely overshadows a decent looking ass. Pants are pants, and leggings are meant to be worn under skirts, dresses, or even under jeans, as someone else suggested. That would keep you much warmer than a sweater you promise is “long enough,” leggings, and boots.

All the people getting all uppity and butt hurt about this are the ones that try to make this look work… and most likely fail miserably.

(I mean, wear them if you want, it’s your right to dress however you want, just don’t get all upset when other people find them both hilarious and horrible.)

I happen to like my leggings, they fit into calf high boots easily and they look nice with long shirts. Most of mine are jean leggings that could pass for skinny jeans but I have a few pairs that aren’t. Oh, and I’m not tiny either. I’ll continue to wear what I like.

Wait, you just said that they are good-looking and that they keep girls warm. So, from a man’s perspective, exactly what is your problem with it?

I guess many people here have never heard of the word…EXAGGERATION.

Mostly, I don’t care what people wear and I don’t look if I haven’t already seen it by chance. I just make sure I wouldn’t be caught dead looking like that, and laugh(sometimes) at the people who do. I guess they don’t own a mirror and no one told them they look hideous in the ass area.

i love leggings. i personally find them much more comfortable and warmer to wear than jeans, i can never find skinny jeans that are tight around my ankles, so it’s hard for me to tuck my jeans into my boots. with leggings though, that’s not a problem however, there are rules that one should follow when wearing leggings:

1. wear thong underwear. seriously. VPL isn’t hot. (although this doesn’t matter much assuming you follow rule #3)
2. make sure you can’t see your asscrack or said underwear through your leggings. make sure of this by bending over in front of a mirror and inspecting. and you can see any skin, then it’s time to invest in a new pair of leggings or go a size up.
3. wear shirts, dresses, or skirts that cover your butt. like another commenter said: leggings are like thick panyhose. would you wear a just t-shirt with your sheer black pantyhose? no, i didn’t think so.

the only time i think it’s okay to wear leggings as pant is if they are under armour spandex worn for working out.

lol I usually wear leggings under jeans in the winter when it’s really cold.. I’ve even worn them as pjs pants. But I’ve never worn them out in public without a dress/skirt covering them.

The only time I will ever wear leggings is to work out.  At home.  By myself.  With the shades closed.  But someday when I have a much hotter ass than I do now perhaps I will wear them to jog outside because I will have fucking earned it by that point.  But really, if other people want to do that, be they fat or skinny, it’s really not anybody else’s fucking problem.  It’s especially rude when people are like “It’s fine as long as you aren’t fat.”  Yeah, well, I don’t think people should be allowed to comment on the Internet if they’re a judgmental bitch, but it happens anyway so let fat people wear their leggings too.

My boyfriend wears his long underwear around the house and looks adorable. But no, I’m not that girl. Leggings are not pants for me, but I don’t object to a girl with a really killer build wearing them. She worked for her butt, she should be allowed to show it off tastefully.

@chicbananas@xanga - thank you, i could not have said it any better.

I love legging as pants. theyre comfy and warm and I love wearing them. maybe my ass shows sometimes maybe i have a little muffin top. who cares? 
boys are telling us “we have to do this, we have to do that ” i dont have to do anything, i do what i want and ill keep wearing those spandex pants even if andre leon talley or whoever is wrinkling his nose and shaking his head. 

THANK YOU. Leggings are not pants, and some girls just need to get that through their damn head!

i wear leggings the same way i’d wear tights: under a dress or skirt.  and i agree… i don’t want to see any fat asses and camel toes wrapped in spandex, either.  

leggings as pants remind me of the pants that little elementary school girls wear that correspond with their shirts. I think, as pants, they’re silly. they aren’t warm enough by themselves when its cold out, so I’m a fan of wearing them underneath my favorite ripped jeans. my jeans work all year and I get to stay toasty.

An issue I have with the leggings as pants is that girls wear them to be comfy, and they wear the full undies, and their asses look malformed with pantylines that intense. I know that I can look away, but I’ve seen butts that are like those fiery car wrecks that you can’t. stop. looking. at. 
my advice, wear them with something that covers the bunzz. and please, please, please not with fuggs.

I had to wear leggings for my dance class one year. I haven’t worn them since. I suppose it’s all up to each person individually, but heed my warning: a year of wearing leggings will make you throw up a little in your mouth whenever you see them after that. That’s my personal experience with leggings though. Just throwing it out there.

This reminds me of the post about sweatpants shouldn’t be worn in public…I just don’t understand why people care so much about what other people wear. (I wouldn’t wear leggings in public cause it’s too hot for summer and it’s way too cold for winter) But if you don’t like leggings as pants STOP LOOKING. Especially to the person who made that remark about fat asses showing in leggings. If you don’t like it then you should go up to them and tell them that…not talk shit about it on xanga. It’s their choice on what to wear, this is why people get so self conscious about themselves. People trash talk about what not to wear, what looks good, what body type looks good in certain clothing. 

depends on the leggings. depends on the wearer’s body type. depends on the outfit style, shirt length… lots of things. 

most girls don’t wear leggings with dresses/skirts or shorts anymore… so this could be a problem.

take it from a girl: I’m wearing them for myself not you
oh and something about not caring what people think because I like how they look on me wuttt???

lawlz @ thinking girls wear them for guys ALL THE TIME.

I wear them with oversized shirts/tank tops. And they hug my body the same way my skinny jeans do, so whats the difference? I think everyone should wear whatever the heck they want! Why should it matter to me what other people wear?

I disagree with this post. If you’re saying leggings are unoriginal, what are jeans? I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that most pants are unoriginal, at least ones you’d wear on a daily basis. 

I try to keep within the rule of having a long enough shirt for leggings. I wouldn’t match them with just anything. The girl in that picture in this post is perfectly fine in my opinion. Her shirt is on the long side and I’d say she’s lookin’ good. Take her other options into account: Jeans, dress pants, yoga pants, sweats and nude. Leggings are more than just an excuse to show off our asses, they’re fashionable when worn correctly.

Many people wear them incorrectly, just to get some head turns as they walk down the street, but I’m a little tired of tights getting such a bad rep as a whole because they can work. The fact that winter is coming up is a total separate subject and this post, as much as it is about girls complaining about being cold when they’re clearly underdressed, applies to girls who underdress, not to only tights-wearers. 

Take it from a girl: we dress for ourselves, not for you.

@petiteme_x@xanga - Holy shit, I wrote the exact same thing and didn’t even see your comment until now! Haha

AMEN AND AMEN!!!  I am a woman who you will NEVER get caught wearing leggings as pants.  I might wear them under jeans this winter but NEVER as stand-alone pants.  Ladies, they do NOT flatter your figure!  Neither do skinny jeans but that’s another topic…

if u got an ass that can swallow up a g-string… wait. let me rephrase.

honestly if you wear the right underwear, your leggings are thick enough to NOT be seen through and your ass is a nice shape and size, you could probably pull off leggings as pants. i know maybe two or three girls that wear them with shirts that rest right on their bottoms or are generally long but dont quite cover the entire booty, but still look decent. on the other hand, there are some scrawny bitches such as myself that cannot pull it off. and to make matters worse, they wear thongs or the WRONG kind of underwear with them. *shiver*

we don’t care what you think

bahhh where are all the fucks i was gonna give.

@raspbxrrryjam@xanga - I live in Russia and can tell you leggings are not warmer than jeans, just cuter.

i wear my leggings under a long sweater, shirt, or dress, so i assume they’re being worn as pants? i don’t know…

i hate when bigger girls wear leggings as pants and you can see right through them. i saw a girl who was like 250 lbs wearing black leggings as pants and i could see the design on her underwear. yummy.

@chicbananas@xanga - lol, I agree with you, HOWEVER – I did have a friend over not that long ago who… erm… had on WHITE leggings and a shirt that didn’t cover the necessary areas O_o… she was wearing a thong and it was fairly obvious. O_O… haha.

@ConfessionsOfAWhore@xanga - HAHHAHA!!! Totally down with you…

Know what the problem is tho? While you probably have the finest bod to pull this off women are still delusional and think they can do it O_o… when they can’t haha

*much hugs and love*

As long as the shirts long and you’re not really obese or overweight, leggings as pants are fine. I just hate when they’re worn with a tiny shirt or on someone bigger.

Last time I checked people generally wear whatever the fucking want either for comfort, fashion, to be different, etc. I’m pretty sure putting on clothes to appease the male senses is not one of the bigger priorities. Please keep your chauvinistic views to your own damn self. This is coming from a man.

I wear leggings as leggings. I wear them with regular shirts and with boots or flats or flip flops (depending on the weather). I really don’t see why it would irk people. If you’ve been told you have a nice ass…flaunt it (not literally, duh). As long as you war them in the right size (not stretch into them so hard they spread and you can see every detail going on in there) they’re perfectly fine.
As for wearing themunder dresses and skirts? IMO That just defeats the purpose of the dress or skirt.

I don’t see what’s wrong with people wearing black leggings as pants. If they were any other color then you might see camel toe which is an issue, but from what I’ve seen that doesn’t occur with black leggings.

@MoonFaeEyryan@xanga - I live in an area that’s below zero several months out of the year… and can assure you that leggings ARE warmer than jeans.

If girls want to look half-naked, then mission accomplished. Leggings don’t count as clothing. They’re just opaque stockings.

The closest I get to this are jeggings.

@swtaznxtc90@xanga - ;3

@ThinIzPerfection@xanga - “As for wearing themunder dresses and skirts? IMO That just defeats the purpose of the dress or skirt.”

— it’s not always warm enough to go bare-legged, though.

I don’t buy into the leggings / skinny jeans fad what-so-ever!   I absolutely despise them.  Solely for the purpose that I believe jeans were made to keep you warm and to be COMFY.  Skinny jeans are the WORST form of “comfort” I think I could ever put my body through (not that I would or have). That’s MY opinion.   If you want to walk around in nothing, showing off everything (or, nothing, in some cases) then by all means — go for it, sweet pea!!

@written_conversations@xanga - Which is why it’s pointless to be wearing the dress in the first place. I think the point of dresses and skirts is to show off your legs. If it’s too cold then don’t wear them. It doesn’t even look good to pair them. But people wear what they’re going to wear so there’s not much explaining how ridiculous it is is going to do.

Do jeggings fall under this category? Because honestly, jeggings to me are a godsend. Comfortable enough to sleep in, cute enough to wear to class. College girl’s dream <3

Leggings are meant to be worn under skirt and dresses. They are called leggings because they are not pants.

@ThinIzPerfection@xanga - I agree. If the dress is super casual and I’m going for a bike ride or something, I’ll put on leggings. If I’m trying to look cute, I’m not going to put leggings under a dress. Leggings are not meant for dresses – tights and stockings are.

I’m not sure what the big deal is with leggings. I feel pretty bad for the people commenting here who can’t handle seeing a fully clothed ass. Do you also complain when you’re at the beach and women are wearing bikinis? It must be miserable feeling so ashamed of the human form that you feel the need to freak out over what are essentially just tight pants. Dear lord.

P.S. – I think jeans are just as lazy as sweatpants. If you think being able to pull up a zipper makes you not lazy, I’d hate to see your idea of professional.

how are they any different from yoga pants? yoga pants are just flared. -_- god shut up

Leggings are indeed pants!  If they weren’t they’d be packaged as tights!  Get over it! 

Just be happy the stirrup pants haven’t made a come back!

Who would listen to someone trying to tell them what to wear? I definitely do not, so i dont understand why articles like these try to tell you what to wear how to wear it when to wear it etc . I wear whatever i want and i like how it looks i don’t care what others think and so if what i wear other people think shouldn’t be worn they can shove it. 

Sorry to say, but you are an embarrassment to the male gender.

First, girls wear leggings because they are quite comfortable. Further more, girls also wear them because they feel they look good in them, and very few disapprove of them. The ones who don’t find leggings attractive/sexy are usually the ones who were either sheltered while growing up, or are simply prudish.

Second, take the time to look at clothing and fashion magazines. To be frank, it’s not uncommon to see women wearing leggings as pants. Heck, even Nordstrom’s advertises some of their leggings as a pant type apparel with no skirts or shorts covering the groin or back side.

i love butts, so the person who wrote this can go fuck them selves
