tight black leggings and big foofy boots

LL I am so excited for u

i aspire to leggings as pants...i'm still paddling in the skinny jeans & kinda fitted tshirt pool

say no to shame

i bought some leggings & yoga pants at target & the clerk was like 'these are all i wear wen i'm not at work'
i was like 'hmmmm'
i have mostly adopted her legwear philosophy & it has been rad
leggings rather than tights under a dress at work has been very freeing, like i can climb or run if needed

i am so jealous of women on like a day to day level

j you should start a rolling anatomy thread

wore these sweats all weekend that are kind of yoga pantsy and it was such a leg loving dream.

a cool fact is you can wear leggings as pants even if you are a man

i know! it's a fine option.

not to work :( that would have to be a VERY specific outfit and even then i don't think my boss would find it especially fetching

i love leggings! i'm wearing these right now

clouds and silby are the unofficial ilx man leggings squad iirc

those are really nice imo

omg hot. you know what i just realized too - my skinny black jeans can effectively pass for leggings

i bought some leggings recently but i'm not sure if i'll ever be brave enough to be part of the ilx man leggings squad, they completed some weird abstract ideal of a party outfit i had but i'll have to wait for the abstract ideal of a party to come along for me to deem them appropriate.

but those leggings are a v good look imo.

I bought a pair of the non-fleece lined $5 Walgreens leggings the other day because the crotch on my tights ripped catastrophically and I had some walking to do and it was chilly plus chub rub and they are fine. There was a run from the crotch seam to the waistband after just one washing, but for emergency purposes, they were useful. Also even though they are "one size fits most" they actually fit me (I would have liked more rise, since tights and leggings tend to roll down on me and I hate that), although anybody much bigger than me (women's size 18 or 20) is probably going to be SOL.

Not to turn this thread back into the thread where we shill for Walgreens, but just a heads up that if you have a hosiery emergency and $5, Walgreens is there for you.

I am a big fan of this men in leggings trend. Nice work, fellas!

I am wearing harem pants to work today, which are the opposite of leggings in many ways, but also leggings spiritual kin in that they are very comfortable and probably much maligned in some circles.

tbh mostly I'm wearing my leggings w/ shorts b/c I don't have a good pocket-replacement bag and also yeah not sure about rolling into work w/o the shorts on but on the plus side I just got six new pairs of shorts from uniqlo so it's all good.

Love this transparency. Excited to buy some 2XL leggings!

Yay!

can a man pull off foofy boots?

Gary Thain of Uriah Heap says, "YES!"

omg good look

a lot of the chinese students at northwestern when i worked there would wear uggs. i didn't think it was agl but sth like the above is cooler

for def. uggs are definitely more of like a women from suburbia thing. i think. i don't know. i feel like uggs have gotten very controversial lately.

Want those pants.

I really think the actual combination described in thread title is now extinct in the wild.

Nah, it's diminished but I saw it a few times over the cold season

definitely still happening but perhaps less so

really just depends where you live. if i went back to my hometown on Long Island for an afternoon i could guarantee at least 2 snapshots of this.

girls at my school have been doing this + puffy vest + ballcap -- it's just such a frumpy and unsexy look

unless you really like han solo

go to any american college campus and it is definitely still happening xps

also plenty of elementary and high school age girls are still wearing this look

i'm sorry but foofy boot AND puffy vest is wayyyy too much and they should check themselves

lol ballcap <3 school

puffy vests always make people look like an assistant at a garden centre imo, not to say that is a good or a bad thing

I go to an American college campus - but it really has faded IMO! Tight black leggings still to be seen, but the big foofy boots that tied it all together have been aggressively purged. Maybe it's an NYC thing.

I associate puffy vests - like, ski vests? - with punks and hipsters of a decade ago, scruffy folk in raggedly cut-off denim patched with band logos, stained t-shirts, and brightly colored happy ski vests. I've held onto one partly out of nostalgia for those times though I suspect it's years since I actually put the darn thing on.

they are almost always black and archaeoptryx/patagonia/north face/some other sporting goods company brand, don't see many of the bright 80s earth tone/primary color ones. those i actually like and would wear if i had any.

well the thing is too that we're not really addressing is that the foofy boot is about to make a comeback in style in general. it went out for like a hot second when people got sick of the studio 54 look, but anticipate some electric gray leather foofy boots in your US Weekly sometime soon.

yea it's the outdoor geary vests that i see more of for sure xp

i really just wish giant shawls would disappear more than i hate uggs

i can sign off on that but i'm very interested in the shawl DRESS which is very powerful to see in person

Unsexy and frumpy can be a look of choice if you want to be left alone to study or do as you please without attracting attention.

OTM. Or if you just like the way something looks or feels and don't care if you are pleasing to anyone else's eye.

i just bought a bunch of baggy pants and all i wear are company giveaway tshirts these days so i can safely also cosign on this

one thing i've noticed about college girls in boston (the less-preppy ones at least) is that so many of them wear military-style jackets, i like them!

they range from more stylish to frumpy and imo they all look pretty cool

olive green is just a nice color imo

let's not turn this into a feminist objectification thing

i'm feeling v confident abt my own style choices lately so it's likely i'm just projecting ^_^;;

in the same way that i complain about the gay male "beard + shaved sides long top hair" clone archetype it's not the thing in itself, just the repetition of seeing it everywhere that's tiring and suggests to me basic-ness

A bunch of dudes criticizing how women look, yes let's not get all feminist about it.

*rolls eyes*, i can present my Feminist Cred Association card to you anytime you like. ;)

btw, did you ever get your fragrance made?
