If it makes you feel any better, 0 my first pair of pantyhose didn't look so great on me either but then again they weren't supposed to they were supposed to humiliate me and make me faster in the freestyle swim by adding drag to the wake of water as I cut my way through the deep in the pool water to the shallow end by increasing water resistance and decreasing eagle which are hardcore swimcoach at least we needed both of since we were not required to continue swimming naked at meets anymore like he was and because he was not encouraged to lashes our bare bottoms in front of girls for minor fractions and deficiencies in performance the way he was at our age.
That left working as almost to death in hardcore training, to supplement the pain he couldn't give us through corporal punishment, and forcing us to wear women's lingerie in the swimming pool to make up for the lack of humiliation we no longer had too endure from being allowed to wear Speedos, instead of our birthday suits the way he had to. We still needed the signiture of a mother volunteer to help fit us in our new hose, and that of the sales rep in women's lingerie who assisted in that process and for some of us a sister or cousin who happened to be along in the fitting room. No undergarments allowed over or under the hose so getting out of the water looks downright silly because who might as well have been beer for all I can see on it they gave us wet When wet and drag queen of the swimming team teenage boys trying to look hardcore just like that.
It did toughen us up so I don't know if you'll be appropriate for me to suggest that this would toughen you up or not, but if it does, that could be spun as a positive, in my glass half full analogy of the day. 🧐🤔🤨😡🤬😆🎸🚀

I don't like them. I'm not sure why.

I think it's partly the way you stand. You need to stand straighter, and tilt your pelvis back a bit (to a neutral position), like singers are taught to. Currently it seems you tilt your pelvis forward (called an anterior pelvic tilt, google it), which pushes your stomach out, which combines with these leggings in an unflattering way - even though your figure is clearly very good.
It may also be something to do with the high waist, as someone mentioned - it may give you a shrunken appearance perhaps? In that way they remind me of Wallace and Gromit's 'Wrong Trousers' haha (google that too). A looser longer top would cover the high waist, and may be a better bet, e. g. a floaty vest top in white, even just on top of that current top.
And also the colour would not be my first choice. One would think it would emphasize a fine figure like yours in a good way, but for some reason it currently doesn't. Perhaps the anterior pelvic tilt is the problem, or the high waist, or both, or something else entirely. But it's not working for me atm.

Fix the pelvic tilt though, it'll make you look and feel better either way.

If you spent  YOUR  money on them, why do you care what he thinks about them? Wear what makes you happy, he doesn't control you!  Though I will admit, it is silly you spent a week's worth of salary on leggings- really? I have a ton of workout leggings, and I promise you, the most I've spent on them is maybe 30 dollars. If you're spending that much money on leggings, or clothes for that matter, you're doing something very wrong with your finances!  If I spend a ton of money on leggings, they better make my butt look rounder, thighs look toned, and make my waist look smaller 🤣 However, as I said before, it's your money so what do I know...

They look fine. Just pair them up with a sweater. I think he's more worried about the fact that they're tight fitting and it shows your figure off. I'm assuming it leaves very little to the imagination when it comes to your backside and I'm sure he just doesn't like that.

Lliam · Answer

They'd look great if the top was the same color. They'd also look great with a T-shirt or a dress.
They show off your cute bod.

Also, if they are for walking, jogging or work outs, you should wear what you like and what feels comfortable. Your boyfriend doesn't have to like them. He was kinda mean to say that they look funny. It probably made you feel like YOU look funny, which isn't the case. Maybe he doesn't care for the high waistband or something.

You must have loved them to spend that kind of money on them, so enjoy. That's all that matters. Let your boyfriend wear you when you aren't wearing them. 😏 😅

ohshee · Answer

Don't you dare return those LOL I wish I had a remote control so I can have you spin around I'd like to see what the back of them look like two for me there are absolutely sexy I love legs and thighs and you have beautiful legs and thighs I love the way they fit you. I know that high waisted look is in I like it just a little bit lower but I think they fit you perfect they fit you snug and they are hot I would have to go out and buy you a couple more pair of them. If I was your boyfriend I would be following you all around the house LOL

nachosaresexy · Answer

Maybe he was joking/being sarcastic about actually throwing them away?

Either way, obviously keep them and wear them when YOU want to... working out, casual days, whatever works for you.

Random question but can I ask what your tattoo is?

SirRexington · Answer

I thought this was going to be one of those "this is ridiculous and probably overreacting" situation but nope. I actually agree with him.  They look like you're wearing a grey diaper with legs.

TangBang69 · Answer

He shouldn't say stuff to make you feel awkward or embarrassed. What is actually making them look odd is the waist band seems too high. Perhaps have them altered so it sits at or just beneath your bellybutton. It's merely my opinion but I think they'd look much better

TheorionMage · Answer

So no one said you're obligated to wear them AROUND him!
You DO have a life APART from his company.

You're NOT dictating that HE wears them.
If his Ego is SO frail that he's offended to be seen in your company WHILE you wear them,
perhaps YOU need to reconsider with whom YOU choose to keep intimate company~ ;)

Wraith_Cemetery · Answer

Hahahahah, you spent a week's pay on that hideous thing? I agree with him. Leggings in that color, worn that high up the waist, look bloody awful. I'll never understand the trend of wearing something so ugly just because it's "comfortable".

Mossberg500 · Answer

A week's pay? I don't see the real gold-plating with ruby's.

Is that the new hip look? Or is the length too long for your height?

From the picture I see a defined waistband. Do you know where your waist is located Miss?

Locate your hips, I imagine you can figure out the rest from there (hopefully.)

Massageman · Answer

I don't have a problem with them.

I've bought some bad stretch shorts the last couple of years. I picked up a fancy brand name pair for a buck at a garage sale, and it DID make big difference. Heavier fabric, better stretch and return, they stay put, etc. So, sometimes a bigger expense can be justified.
I hope you were exaggerating about the whole week's wages. Nice as they look, I don't see spending $600 on leggings/tights.

ThrowAwayx404 · Answer

Look, wear whatever you want, but I agree, they just don’t look good. Also, I don’t know how much you earn, but even on the conservative end of $10/hr, that’s $400 for a full time worker. It’s a stupid waste of money, which is probably a bigger problem than how terrible they look.

Nazgol · Answer

First of all, why on earth would you spend a weeks pay on a legging? That's kinda unsmart🤨😒. Second he's right, looks funny cuz it's too high waisted on u

humpbackjack · Answer

Yeah he’s right and that’s crazy spending that much on a pair of yoga pants

Anonymous · Answer

I mean I probably wouldn’t have spent a lot of money on them. They look like a $10 Kmart pair of leggings. I’m not a huge fan but that’s because I’m not a fan of leggings in general unless they are black. That’s not to say they don’t look flattering on you and it’s your body. Not up to anyone else to decide what you wear and don’t wear.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

Your leggings are really funny 😂 but if i was married and my wife bought something like that, i won't hurt her feelings because i'll love her no matter what she wears but ofc she won't be allowed to wear such a legging in public unless she wear a long shirt over it!

t-8900 · Answer

its not for me either but to each their own. some guys down below obviously love them. Just not for me.

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

I am really disapointed, i was expecting some really cool ones with laser shooting cats in outer space.  These are just regular old boring grey leggings.

007kingifrit · Answer

first off if you spent a week of pay on something so bland and plain you are an immature irresponsible person. i could get those for 5 bucks without the brand

you have some growing up to do. clothing should not be that important to you

(and yea they are really high up on you like old man pants)

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Nothing wrong with them. you can of course get decent leggings for a cheaper price. I would just do the usual ‘ok darling ‘ and ignore him. i tend not to comment as me and fashion are 😂😂

Anonymous · Answer

I'm afraid he is correct...

AviatorTom · Answer

If you like them, ignore his comments and keep them. You might want to limit the times you wear them when he's around though.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Those plain ass leggings cost a weeks pay? They mustve been Gucci, Louis, Fendi or sumn

douride2 · Answer

If you spent a weeks worth of pay on leggings you way over paid for them. That is just my opinion though. As for him not liking them it is most likely because of the high waisted design.

Phoenix98 · Answer

I’m sorry what? 😐 you spent a full weeks pay on those? i mean they look fine but price wise you got screwed.

rachel776 · Answer

they look sexy but that's why you should always shop at Nordstrom you can return anything for any reason

KellyTarrel · Answer

And what do you think? It really makes me wonder why some guys think they can totally rule what we wear. by the way they look fine.

King_Dive · Answer

This post should be used as a metric for how old someone acts compared to their age. I saw this obvious grab for attention and my only thought was "they're just leggings, there's nothing wrong with them"... I miss being a teen sometimes

Hans222 · Answer

Because the panty part comes so high they look weird, they're probably meant to be worn under a skirt or dress and boots. Than the panty is hidden under clothing. 😀

Christsdisciple15 · Answer

They look fine, just like all leggings, but also a week's pay? that’s kinda expensive

Flower7 · Answer

You could wear a dress with them. Then only the legs would be showing.

loveslongnails · Answer

Ok, they're not the "hottest" leggings I've ever seen, but don't throw them away. I don't know what you do for work, but a week's pay on that? a WEEK? Crazy. I don't think you shopped around very well.

Miristheiss · Answer

pregnant pants? I weeks pay? I do not think so. Good laugh though.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Why would you spend a week's wages on leggings? Wow!

DonkeyDan · Answer

In not a fan of them and way too expensive for a par of leggings, but if you like them then don't worry about what others think.

SafiyaHearts · Answer

They look nice on you. It would look great with an oversized sweater! Maybe he thinks they’re too tight on you, or maybe your butt looks funny? I don’t know why he would say that.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

I'm sorry that you can't return them. I think your boyfriend is right, though.

CoolGuy7532 · Answer

I am surprised those cost a week's pay. However, I think you look great in those. You have a nice figure. I think your boyfriend needs to grow up and respect you.

Pandupillu · Answer

They look good, don't throw them, keep it. Cause you spent your hard earned money on it. If he does like it then don't wear it while he is around or just tell him that you like it and would wear it whenever you want.

fonduegirl · Answer

Don't wear it in front of him. He probably doesn't understand that whether they suit you or not, you seem to really like them.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I'm sorry for your shallow minded boyfriend and all these shadow minded guys on here who agree with him there is nothing wrong with your leggings

CindyRuns · Answer

I think they look just fine on you... I like high waisted leggings !!!

ThatNoUVAtYourEyes · Answer

I think you can only wear those with a really flat belly. Maybe they will help you get one - I wouldn't parade outside of the house in them though.

RandomSayings · Answer

You look cute. Wear them if you like them. They are for your body not ours.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

A weeks pay? Geez!! What do you make, 30 cents an hour?

TonyV · Answer

Look like a ballerina, or like your going to a dance recital

Wester1967 · Answer

Change BFs. You can go out with me next Friday and wear those leggings and I won't complain one bit. Cheers.

mooky06 · Answer

Ask your boyfriend is it because they’re high waisted leggings? Is that why he doesn’t like them?

Fireguy17 · Answer

ask a female friend for her honest opinion, but sad to say something looks odd, but for the life of me I can not tell you what it is. Sorry.

chriscdi · Answer

Try lowering them a bit, until your belly button shows, it might just be how high they are being worn that makes it look odd

Ninani · Answer

They look fine, especially if they match the rest of your wardrobe.

clampfan101 · Answer

Remember that he’s just your boyfriend, not your husband. (And even if he was…) Anyway, I think they’re kinda cute.

najekim · Answer

They look alright but no leggings are worth a wee's pay.

Anonymous · Answer

Nah girl your good, just adjust the waist line. You need a lower cut

whosnumber1 · Answer

um, is he a dumb ass? your legs and leggings look great. you should wear them out and flaunt them to other guys in front of your boyfriend. he will see the attention your getting and eat his words.

Anonymous · Answer

They are fine, you will probably wear them under a skirt or dress or something

dreamstar72 · Answer

Look real nice on you. Maybe his funny is a little jealousy

Wiredone · Answer

I think the part that looks strange is the high waste band. Fold it down then they will look better.

Pumpkinspice009 · Answer

You’re man said no, why you want other men to tell you what to do ?

Anonymous · Answer

Don’t see any issues with them other than the fact how much they cost cause they look cheap so it’s bit shocking they cost you a weeks pay to buy them

Danny_dan92 · Answer

Uhh… they’re fine. I don’t see what’s wrong with them

Ehjoh1 · Answer

Why the hell would you even care about what he thinks of a piece of clothing doesn't harm anyone? If you're happy that should count the most!
