Leggings as pants/trousers, 'classy' or 'trashy'

[SkinnyMeansPretty]

Went grocery shopping with my mum today and this really chubby girl was wearing the thinnest pair of leggings ever with a short top. Aand! She was wearing a thong

'twas tres eww

I think that if you are going to wear leggings as pants, you should do it with a tunic or shirt that hits mid thigh. Otherwise they definitely look trashy.

Well said

The only time I wear leggings is when I exercise at home. But I'm fat, so...

If a girl has a nice, slim body - tunic is OK. I saw a bartender girl wearing (almost see-through) leggings and tiny crop top the other day. Yes, she did have the amazing body, but still... On the other hand, she was getting loads of tips...

trashy

Trashy. But it makes me giggle every time I see underwear or a little more of the girl's behind. How can they leave the house like that??
I've only seen two people wear it nicely, and one of them said I could definitely pull it off, so I brought one. Tried it on like a 1000 times at home and thought no, I can't wear this out even with tunics or long tops, it just feels a little bare to me and it's still sitting in my drawer with the tags on. Worst money ever spent.

I wore a lot of leggings in the '90s, I loved them. When I was, like, 8.

I read an article in Vogue a few years back that if you're going to wear leggings you need to make sure your top covers your bum. So tunics, oversized jumpers, etc- great. Otherwise....trashy.

Yeah... I got a pair of leggings from my male cousin as a part of a joke. (Mostly because I hate them). I tried to wear them, I really did. I still do. But I hate how they cut my legs and I feel awkward and less feminine in them. I have nothing against opaque tights, though so I think I will use my lovely leggings in winter with nice boots

Well I do wear them. Mostly in the summer and I always cover my butt with a long tunic. And I wear them at home when I'm not going out because they are so comfy

I always shudder when I see fat girls with their bare butt. Aaand often you can see their cellulite through the leggins. That is even worse. At the gym there is this girl. She's not skinny, not fat and she is wearing a leggins in the classes. You can see through it and she also wears a thong. Everyone can see it. I am always thinking I should tell her… ?
