Leggings as pants?!?

[miss sha]

What's just as bad as wearing leggings with something that doesn't cover your butt is wearing a tunic that was obviously meant to be worn with leggings... WITHOUT LEGGINGS! I saw some girl going out clubbing looking that--I'm convinced people had to pay her every time she sat down!

Agreed! Half the time that happens those tunics are sheer - too sheer to be worn sans leggings!

I wear them too.. But I always wear a top that reaches by at least mid way down my thighs.. Probably longer.. But there's this chick I know this insists on wearing them with tops that end at her waistline.. Leaving little to the imagination.. :\

Now see I would wear a tunic without leggings as long as it wasn't too short. Everything would have to be covered but I would rock that like Mariah did in her video (I can't remember which one it was).

I only wear leggings with a top long enough to cover my butt.

Though I did go to the gym wearing an AA triblend tback singlet with hollister leggings and the lower part of my bum was visible when it hitched up. I'm 4 11" so normal shirts usually are pretty long on me.

I'm wondering what's the difference then (apart from thickness of the fabric) between of those sport skinny leggings used for dance etc and normal leggings? It's the same look, skin tight lower body apparel.

But yeah VPL grosses me out.

I wear them as pants on occasion. I always make sure i wear them with long tops that cover my crotch at least (nothing is more unattractive that framing the crotch/ possible camel toe).
I always wear them with cute little skimmers. I think i look nice in them, but i know some people look downright skanky. I'm but for plain black and thats about it. None of these shiney spandex ones. yuck! Far too "Cock Rocker" for my tastes!

 

[Deolinda]

Wow!!! I'm surprised to see how many of you think this is wrong.
I think that if you got the body, go for it! I wear them with tops that go half way down my butt. I don't wear them to go to work, but to chill with flats.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

I think its fine as long as most of the butt is covered. I hate seeing younger girls in bright leggings, with a crazy purse, and a loud top, with 3 belts on, earrings/necklaces/bracelets/legwarmers, headbands.......like can we pick one accessory lol

BUT while we're on the topic, does anyone know a good place to buy the longer tops that you wear over leggings? because I can hardly ever find them anymore

 

[MissAlly]

I wear them ALL the time with V-necks,and dresses,but,I always have a longer undershirt on.And,yes..my booty is covered up.

 

[CandiGirl21]

Hmm?? I'm both with it AND against it.

If the leggings are sheer then of course not. I'd rather wear them under a long t-shirt (as a dress).

 

[missteex3]

sometimes i wear them to just like chill around the house. they're surprisingly comfortable...but when i wear them in public, i wear them with a dress or something that covers my butt

 

[Le-Saboteur]

I think it's kinda ugly when worn with a normal length shirt or top or whatever. I cringe on the inside whenever I see a girl wearing that... especially because it's usually young girls that wear it around here :/

 

[winkietoe]

Ive worn leggings as pants before but its always been with a longer shirt that covers my butt. I think it looks odd when its paired with a shorter top.

Ive seen chicks at my college who wear black sheer leggings with a regular length top, and bright colored undies, and im like

...wow. thats not really awkward.
at all.

 

[liltweekstar]

I sometimes wear thick, ankle length leggings with my slightly oversized hoodie and a tshirt underneath. It covers the majority of my ass... this is okay right?

 

[IDontKnowMomo]

I think it's fine as long as they are not sheer, the top you are wearing is long, and there is NO possible chance of camel toe or VPL.

I wear leggings as pants, I admit it. I don't wear them out with super short shirts, but sometimes my tush is out a little.

I especially love wearing cotton black leggings as pajama pants.

 

[supreme05]

I love leggings!!! But I agree, the booty should not be very visible... But I have a pair of black rats by Sass & Bide that are rouched on the sides and I think they can be worn with a nice flow-y top...

 

[saragerard]

if you have the shape and you can pull it off then im all for leggins as pants. i esp like the liquid leggings. i like this look a lot...

The ass should be concealed unless you're doing a Pussycat Doll routine!

I'm going to have to disagree! Booty is beautiful!
