Ladies, leggings as pants?

Question

Do you wear leggings as pants? Why or why not? I don't mean spandexy/thick cotton yoga or exercise pants but tights or leggings like these

I don't get it, I never thought leggings as pants look good. I just thought they were suppose to be worn under loose jeans or long dresses when it become chilly out but still warm enough to wear summertime clothes. I would just find jeans that are comfortable and give slack, that way you still have movement and flexibility. Plus there use to be a horrible time when women were going out in public in leggings like this:

This is not cute or a good look for us at all, if your a woman that has cellulite in this region it's not something you want to draw attention to. These pants will not only show the crack of your Ass, but will show ever lump and dip back there. But of course men probably don't like it when women are told to not wear leggings as pants, ruin the fun for them to get a better view of what's back there.

I always thought leggings were sort of meant to be paired with a top that partially or fully covered the pelvis - making them acceptable. People in the 60s wore stuff this showy all the time. In the 80s we were all about the spandex and workout wear. (Some of it painfully revealing, as we made it trendy to start showing off the thong.)

Today, leggings just seem like a variation of that, and usually look nicer when the person covers their pelvis with a long belted top or tunic. If it's short and they just show off their goods then whether the person has a nice body or not, it just looks weird as if they're wearing long underwear or something. I like wearing my leggings in the fall with a long cable-knit sweater and leg warmers.

Im surprised it even became a thing. Leggings like that is like she is literally naked. I can clearly see vagina bulges, creases, panties, legs, ass the whole nine yards

i dunno are girls actually comfortable showing all that lol cause if i walked around with my nutsack ripping through my jeans lol id feel a little odd

But then again, that's why women get oggled to the max, it certainly isn't a coincident. Me on casual sundays. Yaaaay for bulges. Free the bulge

Ass a guy, I fully support leggings as pants 😇

LittleSally · Answer

I mean leggings ARE pants... But I think you should be wary of wearing things that are see-through... just so you don't accidentally embarrass yourself.

Zorax · Answer

Unlike tights, leggings are actually pants.

Red_Arrow · Answer

We are already past the point of exposing the butt (completely) on women in bikinis. I know the argument that bikinis are for beach wear, not everyday wear. But that is like the argument about wearing nice dresses or torn jeans to certain events. That is a fashion question, not one of exposure. But we (speaking of Americans in general) do not find a waman exposing her butt to be legally wrong, though admittedly many people do take offense.

The leggings cling to the legs and butt, showing the shape completely, but not baring the butt. So from that standpoint, they are less revealing than accepted beach wear (which is usually accepted out in public at places other than the beach).

The place where they stand out is the prominent display of camel toe (which many bikinis also show). It seems to be becoming okay to display the exact shape of the female genitals using clinging fabric. The question for each woman becomes is she willing to do that also? And more and more seem to be.

witherwing · Answer

I wear one pair that is quite a thick fabric and kinda weirdly loose fit for leggings, but even those only if I have a long shirt covering my ass. I just would feel weird walking around like that, feels like both my ass and vag are on showcase. I do wear running pants with shorter shirts, but I feel it's a bit different, since I only wear them while running/walking/during exercise, like they are supposed to. I'm a firm believer that leggings are not pants.

MaiaLikesAnime · Answer

I absolutely refuse to wear leggings as pants outside, it's okay for me to do it inside because nobody would see me but I still don't like it because it feels uncomfortable to me. I've always preferred shorts, skirts and dresses over leggings, jeans, sweatpants etc. I just feel so underdressed if I wore leggings as pants? I'd rather be overdressed than underdressed and I just feel less confident/comfortable when I wear leggings as pants. Maybe it's because my mother always raised me like this I don't know. I have nothing against someone who does wear leggings as pants though, it's just when it's on me where I have a problem.

estoydorado1 · Answer

I wear a lot of long sweaters/t-shirts. Because I'm petite some "regular sized shirts" will cover most of my butt and front. I have a few leggings to wear under my upper-thigh level shirts. It also depends on the thickness of your leggings. Some are like tight sweats so it's kinda like wearing jeggings but with sweats material. I think it becomes attention seeking when you can see the underwear/ privates/ or camel-toe outline glaring through.

lumos · Answer

To me, leggings are like stockings. Not pants. They look the best when they're worn with something that covers the pelvis. I would only wear leggings as pants at home. But outside I would feel naked.

Apope16 · Answer

Im a guy. I love looking at a sexy round butt in leggings. But style wise... i prefer jeans. Its a look down. Not classy. I say, wear it at the gym or out jogging. Not for a date, or out for drinks. Maybe.. maaybe to pick up something at the grocery store. Definitely not good with a jean jack or nice shirt. They do looke nice underneath skirts and stuff tho.

Tephra · Answer

Since when have people had an issue with leggings as pants? So long as it covers your skin I consider it as clothes. I wear them all the time because there super comfy and match with anything really; t shirts, tank tops, dresses and blouses.. anything!

However I do have an issue with the see through ones.. the girl might not know there see through or she's doing it on purpose. But either way leggings are such a good design 😂

19magic · Answer

leggings show off every ounce of leg well so do jeans and trousers. Unless your buying flare jeans/trousers then no it doesn't get shown off. They all show the curve of the ass most jeans you can still see the pantie line underneath so what's the difference

azzntittiz · Answer

I don't anymore, but I have only when running quick errands but I wear long dresses or shirts because my camel toe looks like a tuck, and that is gross. The men, even some women stare at it, don't want that kind of attention, for that reason I clicked, not pants.

Musicgeek21 · Answer

Comfy and good for around the house. They are too form fitting in my opinion, but if you wear them in public with North Face, have Starbucks or uggs you are seriously basic.

Blonde401 · Answer

If you weight more than 8 stone then generally it looks a little too much (and yes I am way over 8 stone) so no. They're not for me. I don't think showing your vagina and ass that much is particularly attractive to me personally but of course, everyone should wear what they want.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

If you manage to find a pair of leggings which do not show the world that its Tuesday by all means wear them. But if everyone knows you can't tell what day it is. Please don't.

rjroy3 · Answer

I always found it interesting, because I knew dancers for years who did that, then it became a fad lol. at least in the past you knew a girl was a dancer/yogi or some type of physically fit individual. Now any basic bitch off the street rock out some leggings lol. No hate, just funny to me. I find girls in tight jeans more appealing than leggings, unless the girl is insanely bodied up, then I can appreciate them xD

Randomawkwardness · Answer

I love leggings. With my body shape, it's impossible to find pants that fit in the waist and the thighs without spending a fortune. Leggings just cling to me and make me feel less conscious about how I look. And I mean what does black not go with.

Xoxoxooo123 · Answer

i mean it depends... i don't think they're pants if the fabric is too sheeer on the legging but if it's not sheer and you can't see any camel toe than i think it's good

JustJules · Answer

If I am going out to exercise sure why not and when I am at home yeah. I would prefer just pants when I am out doing things though. There are times when leggings are great with an outfit though and I have worn them for say Christmas with a long sweater.

splashofyellow · Answer

I don't even own a pair but I would only wear them with a shirt long enough to cover my ass. I don't consider them pants.

ryebread · Answer

I mean, if they're thin to the point that if you shine a bright light on them and you can kinda see through, then that's too thin. The thicker ones are fine though, in my opinion =P

akadatank44 · Answer

Lol! I'm just gonna start saying random ass things and say Jesus said it probably.

clampfan101 · Answer

I've seen garments for both legs and the chest that makes the underwear,(if any), visible if looked at closely. Those are not not clothes in my opinion.

Anonymous · Answer

I never understood how people could wear leggings without the top covering their bums. I think it looks horrible to be honest. This is the difference between wearing leggings and skinny jeans.

Anonymous · Answer

I really enjoy seeing a woman wearing leggings as pants. It is amazing how they show off the legs and the butt. I'd imagine they are comfortable too, considering how popular they are. However, ladies this is a double edged sword. Wearing something like this is going to attract A LOT of attention from guys. Often this attention may be unwanted or unwelcome.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Well if you go by the textbook definition of pants then pants are simply any article of clothing shaped to cover the body from the waist to the ankles or knees with separate tube-shaped sections for both legs.

Also agree is not spelled Aggree.

DivineDaj · Answer

I love my leggings. They are pants to me. I wear them to work and they're comfy and convenient. The best time to wear them is during a period when you feel bloated and lazy. I have like 5 pairs and i still need more.

abbs221 · Answer

I wear leggings as pants. But I have nice, toned legs and it's hard to find jeans to actually fit over my ass. So I wear leggings because 1, they are comfortable. 2, they look great. And 3, they're easy to remove, if you know what I mean.

Why not, looks great.

dataminemebby · Answer

Once again, I run outdoors in compression short-tights, so I see no problem with this... and as others have alluded to beachwear is typically more revealing anyway.

Anonymous · Answer

I wear pants all the time. Doesn't really matter but I don't think it's appropriate to wear leggings with a shirt shorter than your bottom. I very rarely leggings but when I do i wear a longer shirt or sweater to cover my bottom

Jenom · Answer

I know a lot of chicks that wear them as pants. And I dig it! They look good in my opinion. Totally cool with it!

03FreeBird14 · Answer

As long you wear a long shirt or sweater that covers below your waist then there shouldn't be a problem with wearing leggings as pants but if you are wearing them above then that doesn't look very good or classy

neoagent1 · Answer

mahaim1234 · Answer

I don't dig it personally... I would wear it but with something a little long because I don't like unwanted attention that's just my personal opinion
