tight black leggings and big foofy boots

can you really see someone's anus in these things? asking for a friend.

yes, but you really need to get your face right in there

not touching that last post, but fyi the slim goodbody album is pretty good, especially "Down Down Down," "Be What You Want to Be," "One Is Connected To Two," and my mother's favorite, "The Brain."

it's not camel toe, it's, uh...

with poorly made leggings/yoga pants, sometimes the anus is exposed
it's a pubic health issue

people should be naked if they want. feel very negatively toward even the theoretical prospect of someone doing five years for yoga pants.

however parachute pants = throw away the key

now I'm wondering if any of these are the tights Je55e copped to wearing under his dress pants in the cold winter days

I opened this thread just to Ctrl-F to see if I'd posted in it and I find my private conversation being shared. (I was wearing tights b/c I couldn't find long Johns and I saw an ep. of Law & Order where a construction worker wore panty hose instead of long johns.)

No shame in that game. Tights are great under dress pants, especially if you can get hold of some 120 denier tights that are super thick.

And not control top (probably).

I was wondering about that because I was considering them too!

sheesh

Just remember if you're buying tights that you need to look at the height as well as the weight when determining the size, so even if you're slim, you may need "queen sized" tights if you're a tall drink of water.

Yeh my tights were way too tight.

GFY mh

you should try these leggings -- they are way way way way more comfortable (and warmer) than tights.

Sorry! I thought it was something I'd read on ilx, it seems logical.

I meant Good For You of course

lol

je55e get some merino long underwear. they're luxurious.

And apparently you can wear them for awhile without washing them, which I know you enjoy.

was that directed at me or je55e

sure

Ha, Jesse, due to his anti-jeans washing stance, about which I like to bust his chops, although I learned of merino wool's no-wash candidacy from you in the -18 thread.

mh i'm putting you in time out

I own a lot of unwashed merino wool and denim.

TBH I've become pretty anti-washing about everything except socks and underwear. And of course New Moon/GladRags pads.

first really warm day and everyone is at the park doing their powerwalking. i've never seen so many nude butts through overstretched leggings!

still sad i can't pull off this look

altho maybe i could .... with the right top

i have faith in you

my walgreens leggings have not weathered the winter well -- covered in pills and lint tbh -- but they're still better to wear around the house than what i used to wear so i feel like less of a slattern

jealz

i got an above-the-knee cardigan that Ryan calls my Dorothy Zbornak look

yeah the walgreens leggings kind of suck durability-wise. Lots of pills and lint, as LL notes, and my gray ones somehow developed RUNS around the crotch! NAGL.

OTM. But hey. $5.

And they still feel like a fleece leg hug
Could be worse! So tired of being cold, it's nice to feel warm even if I am covered in pills & lint

omg my ocd would freak out about that

what do people with ocd do if they want leggings?

Buy better leggings than those available for $5 at Walgreens.

Right. Like Macy's or something. or no? is that too old-fashioned?

the ones from target have held up well
they were only $12

oh of course. Target.

I mean no need to overspend it on leggings imo

leggings and a oversize sweatshirt would definitely be my favorite outfit if i were a girl

Leggings usually come in the following fabrics:

Cotton knit: Pros - no synthetics, nice colors. Cons - will sag and bag and give you dumpy butt within minutes.
Cotton spandex: Pros - mostly cotton. Usually nice and thick. Cons: black ones tend to fade quickly, there's no "slip" so if you're wearing them with a skirt, the skirt might cling to them in an unflattering way.
Modal spandex: Pros - so soft and super comfortable. Lightweight and good for summer. Cons - slight pilling, don't offer good longevity as modal (at least IME) tends to get little holes in it even if you launder it carefully.
Nylon spandex: Pros - More like thick footless tights, which some people may prefer. Cons - definitely can see your underpants through most of these.
Some kind of poly nylon spandex blend. Pros - Cheaper, lots of bright colors and patterns. Cons - the pilling and the possible running at the seams (although I have a pair of poly/spandex leggings that are made of some kind of miracle fabric so this is not universal).
Technical fabric (like running tights): Pros - Thick, come in compression styles if you like that, tend to wear really well. Cons - they look like exercise clothes.

So where you get them and how much you spend will depend on what kind you want. I own or have owned leggings from all categories and modal/spandex are probably my favorite for wearing, their fragility is such a bummer that I don't usually buy them unless they are on super sale. You mostly want to make sure they are sufficiently opaque to hide your butt if you want to wear them as pants. If you want to get fancy and spend $$$ search for something like "premium leggings."

omg I love the feel of modal but you are so right about the holes! Out of nowhere!

I wash that shit in a lingerie bag on cold water delicate wash and hang to dry and don't even look at it cross eyed and still! TINY HOLES. Fucking bullshit.

PS Surm here I found you some leggings:

that, paired with a foofy black sweater, and suede shoes. done.

My leggings recon has revealed something call "harem leggings" and "relaxed fit leggings" and now I need to take a detour over to the IA thread...

ladies, don't ever forget how good you have it.

Oh look I found some for me, too:

very Joan Osborne

Sigh. I've made a vow not to do any superfluous purchasing for a month or I would superfluously be buying those right now.
