tight black leggings and big foofy boots

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pXSWwebgpgM/TLhmZZo3ADI/AAAAAAAAABs/eflBXSlKtrY/s320/DSCN0756.JPG

seriously one of the fundamental tenets of leggings-wearing is that the top must cover butt/crotch
when did this injunction get...lifted?

Even my UGG loving self cannot vouch for this.

love this look

Like the look with long swearers and boots, but not big foofy ones.

uh, sweaters, swearers are only sometimes hot

or big furry boots too. and yeah, a poofy sweater. but not long. want to see some shiny ass.

I do also enjoy the shiny ass.

i think there is something impious about having any kind of problem with women walking around in public without pants on.

but that's my reptilian male brain speaking

Judging from this thread, 2012+ may reacquire style.

See, I like this fine if it's leggings + UGGS plus a tunic or a minidress or even a moderately baggy sweater or something. But without something long on top, it reminds me of something maybe the high school dance team would wear.

Or ::shudder:: a middle-schooler trying to pull off this look with a pair of Target tights, a hoody, and off-brand slippers.

I work with a woman who is a regular and repeat offender of wearing stretched out/insufficiently opaque leggings with shirts that do not cover her hips. She also wears regular old underwear under these items so sometimes you can see panty lines or sometimes you can see actual patterns. This isn't about being on trend or whatever, though. This is just about her personal choices.

I first noticed the worn out/stretched too thin leggings thing a couple months ago on a girl in a salon. I could see her ass, thong, EVERYTHING. I was embarassed for her and sat there for about 20 mins trying to think if there was any way I could tactfully point this out because in the sun it was p much obscene. I decided there wasn't. :(

I bit the bullet and told a coworker (at a different job - waiting tables at a so-called casual fine dining establishment) that she had a pretty big tear on the seam on the ass of her pants and she was like, "Yeah, I know I keep meaning to fix that."

i wonder how it got there

LOL just noticed that the gurl in front of me in the bus is doing the leggings, foofy boots, croppped sweater thing. The one thing saving her (a bit) us that said leggings seem to be made of scuba suite-like material (?) And are therefore v opaque.

Ugh typos dumb phone.

Can we introduce jeggings to this thread? I am unsure how I feel about them, but I HATE the word jeggings. As much as grellow, even.

The word sucks, yeah. Last week I saw "treggings" used which I guess was supposed to be trouser leggings. :/

redundant, surely

Is there a difference between pajama jeans and jeggings?

they sound like medieval torture devices.

He is proud, near peert as a pye
let hym be jeggyng'd
tyl his prydful ways dye

Grellow is a terrible word.

Jeggings are tighter with a very narrow leg opening--cut like leggings, styled like jeans in denim-looking fabric--whereas pajama jeans are cut like jeans but made of cotton/poly/spandex and thus stretchy and soft.

I have a pair of Levis that are made of pajama jeans-esque material and srsly they are A+++.

Really? I like the way jeans look, but my wife likes comfortable clothing. Those Levis sound like they might be a good compromise. Is there a specific style or model number or whatever?

Saw a girl (late teens or early twenties) rocking this look at the weekend and her leggings were on INSIDE-OUT so you could see the label as well as her bum.

They are called 512 (tm) Perfectly Slimming (for straight sizes) or Shaping (for plus sizes) and they come in various colors and leg widths.

NYDJ sells good looking pajama jeans (their jeggings are crazy soft) but they are also $$$$.

Eh, maybe just $$$.

Just pull however many $ out of this:

Thanks, Jenny!

The thicker and more opaque leggings get, the less I hate them. I remember some years ago, though, maybe it was before the leggings "comeback"? When there weren't a lot of versions on the market yet so the young fashion things were wearing tights. As pants. This is probably where my real disdain for the whole thing comes from. And now thanks to the lazy and unobservant people described in this thread, we're right back where we started.

I don't know, some of the college girls I see near my office building put way too much effort into the rest of their clothes and accessories to really be THAT lazy and unobservant about their tights. I'm fairly certain its a distinct choice in some cases.

love this look

Nah, don't like this look at all

Perving by crepes is exactly why I'm so embarrassed for women in translucent leggings. They're basically naked, which would be just mildly unfortunate except for people who actively enjoy someone else's possibly-accidental state of undress.

Oh come on how can this possibly be accidental?!

the overstretched transparency is probably accidental

... is the title of my new spoken word piece

Substitute "processing visual stimuli as males" for "perving by crepes".

No no, that last one prob isn't accidental, obv. Earlier posts were about people in more worn versions that you could see through.

Also frankly the schoolmarm in me can't remotely fathom why anyone would wear these if they realized men everywhere are looking at their asses this way. But I'm a hundred years old and headed for a convent so ymmv.

maybe they are nudists who like to stay a little bit warm

It's the only probable explanation.

I mean, I have never worn tight black leggings, but my sense is that when you put on a garment you have some vague idea of how form-fitting it is. Not to mention that you perhaps own a mirror, or have friends, or any number of other ways that you might be informed of what it is you're wearing and what it looks like. Not to say I haven't worn a few things that looked way stupider than I thought they did, but it'd be kind of hard to wear something that hugs each and every curve of flesh and not just feel that, right? Or are they so tight that they cut off circulation and shut down nerve endings? I dunno.

xpost oh okay, that makes sense then

I think girls wear them becuase they're comfortable tbh! Not nec because they are so form-fitting specifically.

I'm guessing the cameltoe in that last picture is entirely accidental?

supposedly though the parent they rode with was wearing casual shorts, which doesn't jibe with the "long pants" requirement I've seen being given as the reason.

seem to be conflicting reports as to the clarity of the dress code too

how would one carry their own legs

open carry

carry legs openly

Schlotelburg isn't afraid of the incursion of the erotic into daily life.

Let it be known. Let it be written. He is unperturbed. Sanguine. Life may have passed him by -- God knows -- but he harbors no resentment toward the youth. Their fashions evoke in him no mysterious feelings of half-sublimated jealousy. He is sailing to Byzantium.

In any case people should wear whatever the fuck they want and no one should comment on it.

I'm wearing leggings as pants right now as a protest against the rank misandry that judges this behavior sick #mralife

Not the most promising URL

Pretty much any url with the word opinion in it is guaranteed to be terrible.

ts: skintight pants at the gym vs pyjamas at the gym

women wore shiny spandex exercise gear in the 70’s and 80’s and it became streetwear for a while too, and the whole flashdance/fame/madonna dancewear as exercise gear/streetwear
it doesnt seem that different & if anything this is more toned down
i honestly dont get why ppl get so salty about it

but can we bring back shiny neon metallic spandex & legwarmers tho

seriously, gym wear is so grim these days.

i would love more fun snug leisurewear
i am wearing leopard print leggings as my pants today, with dark red boots and so far no one's eyes have dissolved from having to lay eyes on them
most athleisure is pretty boring/tame imo -- VG otm

I think the leggings with sheer-ish cut out panels by the knees or wherever are pretty cool. Lots of stuff has “perforations” now, but nobody has made cool patterns with them yet.

> gym wear is so grim these days

Try to buy a scuba wetsuit in any color but black... The golden era was the 80s, when the brighter the fluorescent neon, the better.

i prefer bright colors and patterns to cutouts -- "cut a hole in it" seems to be a common strategy if the clothes at Target are any indication

Leggings update from the Univ. of Notre Dame

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/03/28/think-mothers-sons-notre-dame-mom-begs-female-students-stop-wearing-leggings-sparking-protests/

are foofy boots totally outmoded now tho

Hoping mayor Pete shares his two cents on this soon. I'm sure he can bring it to a peaceful conclusion.

The girls are just showing their South Bend pride

you prude Americans cannot stand it

Big foofy boots are super sexy where you come from?

it's called sensuality, look it up in a european-american dictionary

I can sense big foofy boots, just as I can sense the smell of skunk, or a blinding light in my eyes, and this fact technically makes them "sensual", but this mere fact cannot make them pleasurable.
