80s fashion is coming back and along with it comes the leggings. Take a gander in your local mall and you'll see the uber trendy kiddies wearing leggings under long shirts or under those tiny shorts. One thing that irks me about leggings is the fact a lot of the people wearing them now don't actually look any good in them. It takes a certain body shape to pull them off (or on) and a note to you lasses out there: give it up.
If you've ever seen The Biggest Loser, or them fat people on the streets, you'll have noticed that leggings are a staple fashion item in the obese culture which, to the astute observer such as I, makes leggings a type of anti-fashion item thus fooling the fools who aren't obese but choose to wear them anyway.
And leggings don't even really compliment anyone. You're too skinny, you're too fat, you're bum is ugly, you have a camel toe and quite frankly you leave nothing to the imagination so I don't even need to bother buying you a drink to get into your pants, leggings, coz I don't like what I see. At the moment I can't even think of any other fashion item that doesn't compliment it's wearer the way leggings do.
Yet people still wear leggings. I've noticed a few desperate types donning the jeans styled leggings, which, according to Wikipedia, are called jeggings. The ultimate fashion mistake has to be the leggings/jeggings and ugg boot combo. That combination says the wearer is the sort of person to put absolutely no effort into dressing themselves and is happy to look like they have chicken legs and giant feet while walking through the mall to Supre to purchase even more leggings.
There is something seemingly unhygienic about leggings too. They are thin nylon, lycra, polyester or cotton garments and when they stretch they can become a bit transparent. People who walk around in leggings are more likely to spread disease through such a thin layer of fabric and I personally will not sit on the same chair after I've seen a legging-wearer sit there. In these days of swine flu and super hygiene you'd think there'd be signs around the place advising people to wear thicker pants, not the sort that are just like underwear but proper pants.
Pretty soon swine flu will no longer be disease to be worried about when an outbreak of STDs somehow spreads from chair to chair by thin-legging-wearing-try-hard-fashionistas who somehow got it into their brain that they look good in leggings.

My fashion sense is pretty
My fashion sense is pretty crap, but I have to agree. It's like the tight skinny leg incident all over again. Too hard to pull off. I say regular pants or no pants.
NO
NO PANTS!!
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Actually leggings are to
Actually leggings are to showcase the legs with the correct outfit and to be paired with heels or spikes. This way they stand out the beautiful curves of a woman's legs. With leggings also comes pantyhose which is a fashion trend just waiting to explode with an underground community of admires waiting to hit the beach like on D Day during WWII.
Get rid of the flip flops and I know leggings are sexy.
Sweet Dreams,

Typical male.....does not
Typical male.....does not know what he is talking about with issues he is so far removed from ie. he being a male. Look beyond the appearances dude, although in this case, if picture posted is current, think more facial hair for men are way out of date with yellow worn, best likely pulled off by more preschoolers. And headwear.....well speechless really.....
Hence legs (shapeless and all) of the female kind
Please Do Wear Leggings!

I can not stand denim pants
I can not stand denim pants as they are too heavy, horrible to wash in winter and dry and get wrinkles out of and they lose their colour too quickly. I refuse to pay costly dry cleaning bills for trousers/pants, that either do not fit properly unless taylored, and hems always need altering. Denim hems fray. What about women who boast they do not wear undies, HOW DISCUSTING! You must have known alot of girls that do not wash their private areas for you you to have such an attitude to public seating. They say men are the worst for hygiene after going for a wee! Why even the famous Billy Connolley wears womens leggings for the comfort. Panty hose are a costly venture. Maybe women should go back to vicotrian times and keep covered up completely. Men should never tell women what to wear! If women tell a man what to do it is called 'nagging'. So to all, out there, wear what you want!
Leggings look great if worn
Leggings look great if worn with the right outfit, same goes for pantyhose fashion or tights with the right high heels.
There area people out there that prefer to be bare legged in flip flops, more power to ya!
Yet there are many ladies that enjoy Stilettos with a sexy pair of hosiery to compliment them.
Why would you not want women
Why would you not want women to wear jeggings or leggings? I've been wearing those types of pants for quite some time and they not only look great but feel good too, as opposed to stiff jeans.
Unless you are rubbing your
Unless you are rubbing your private area all over the seat, how exactly do you think you'd get an STD? Jean leggings (or jeggings) look great on the right body, and really are much better than thick jeans. If you've got it, flaunt it. And please, Paul Taylor... get over yourself.
I don't get the animosity
I don't get the animosity towards jeggings. I'm a 37 year old woman who enjoys their comfort, freedom of movement, and the ability to show off my shape. They're awesome pants!
