Fashion or Faux Pas?

fiestlylil1 · September 2013

So a friend lent me some maternity clothes including a couple pairs of leggings. The last time i wore leggings, it was with an oversized T-shirt and a side pony tail. (Hello, 1989). Are these back in style now? Are they acceptable to wear as pants?

I've seen alot of people wear them with long sweaters and such. On some people they look cute, on my they look like sausage wraps...

I wear them with long tunics or sweaters and boots.

They are in style. I like to wear them with dresses or long shirts. I think the general rule of thumb is that they are ok to wear as pants as long as they cover your butt.

Definitely with long sweaters/tunics and boots

So looking forward to it this fall! They are so comfy!

Okay mobile fail on many levels. I posted twice but I meant to say as long as the shirt covers your butt.

They have been back in style for a while now. As PP said they should be worn with tops covering your butt.

This! And they actually look pretty cute with a lot of maternity dresses/tops because they tend to be longer to begin with

Yup they are cute and easy to wear. And in a lot of cases you don't need to wear them under tunics or dresses, I'm actually not much of a fan of that way to wear them. I pair some of mine with t shirts, a cute bulky sweater with a scarf, cut off t shirt, flowy button up blouse, tanks and a blazer or button up etc.

Leggings are the best! Just have to ensure you've been doing your squats

They are very much back in style. Generally though they are worn under a longer top that covers the bum. I excited to wear some this fall and winter.

kella0708 · September 2013

Yes! I think my winter wardrobe will consist of leggings, boots and oversized/DH's sweaters.

Why are you confused? What is this question?

It's a joke. About Canadians.
It's hard for me to wrap my head around someone not understanding leggings.

I LURVE leggings, but am firmly in the "leggings are not pants" category. As long as your top covers your bum, rock em!

I have a cotton tunic/dress that's basically a long t shirt that I wear with leggings and call my "work pajamas". Throw on a scarf and boots and I get ton of compliments on my outfit, but in reality, what I'm wearing is basically jammies. It's the best!

mamacrunch · September 2013

Yes they are in style.

Please don't wear them as pants.

They look super cute with sweater dresses and boots!! Yay Falls coming.

If the leggins are loosing color to the color of your leg I don't think you should leave the house in them, but that is jmo.
I see way too many women my size in them as ants and they are so stretched I can see the pinks of their asses over the color of the leggins and that grosses me out.

So yea, get yourself a cute pregnancy dress or really long shirt and you shall look great.

Is the joke that Canadians are stupid? I'm Canadian. I understand leggings. HTH.

Oh come on Car, you know very well that we Canucks only know hockey and snowshoes. :P

You remind me of some of the hilarious people we see on Rick Mercer's "Talking with Americans" segments.
Pure fucking brilliance.

LIES. Have you had our beer and poutine? We're fucking geniuses.

Not to mention our functioning healthcare system.

But obviously we're too stupid to understand leggings.

My love and understanding for leggings > love and understanding of hockey.

Failed Canadian right here.
At least I like poutine.

I fail because I hate poutine! I even tried it when I was in Montreal and it didn't win me over.
