Leggings

[fairycakes69]

I know this is a bit ramdom but, do you class leggings as trousers or underwear? I say trousers, 18 year old daughter says underwear. Also how do you keep them up, I have just started wearing them ( I still remember them from the first time round in the 80's) they are so comfy but I spend all day hauling them up, it's not a good look. They are the right size, so its not that they are too big. I am considering braces.

Unless you're super skinny, i wouldn't wear them at all- hideous things unless you've legs up to your armpits.

There are lots of girls (and, frankly ... women), who wear them around the town with nothing on top ... so I hope they'd be classed as trousers.

remember the early 90's combo leggings worn with bodies

(((shudder)))

[ummmm]

I think they look ok if you're wearing a long top/tunic...

[cazzz1975]

thats leggings with stirrups btw

[jomifl]

Well I guess they put off stalkers....

[ummmm]

I used to wear those cazzzzzzzz.....

They look wrong on anyone unless worn with a tunic that comes to mid thigh, it doesn't matter how slim you are you will still look like you just can't be bothered with your appearance if you wear them.

I wear them sometimes with a long tunic top, the ones I have are very good they never fall down at all, lots of lycra I suppose! and have stirrups to keep them down under your foot!.....wouldn't class them as underwear, lots of people wear them with a tunic top and boots..................

I haven't worn leggings for years. I would say they are trousers.

[karenmac60]

Ooh, ski pants - there was nothing more attractive than wearing them with boots and one of the stirrups pinging loose to give you that 'masonic' look ;)

[joggerjayne]

I think it rather depends if your butt "hangs" or "jutts"

If you're a "jutter" you can carry it off ... you just look hot.

If you're a "hanger" ... you look like a ***.

But, hang on ... Jeggings are definitely trousers, yes ?

[tiggerblue10]

I always wore them with big baggy tops though.

[joggerjayne]

"masonic" look ... LOL

They went well with Pixie Boots.

Uggs are just not the same.

[joggerjayne]

Is Pixie Boots showing my age ??

I have very long legs and am wearing leggings again at the ripe old age of 63. I am wearing them with jersey tunics that are just above the knee and they look fine. Marks and Spencer leggings are great on me they don't wrinkle or fall down. I don't class them as underwear or trousers really just leggings. I haven't got a great figure and am certainly not super skinny these days but I still have fairly good legs. And shapeless tunics are just great because they hide my midriff bulgy bits.

I wouldn't wear them to go shopping or out in town, but would wear them with a nice dressy tunic top in the evening or with casual tunics around the house. So much more comfortable than my denim jeans!!

Now I have ruined BOO's impression of me as a classical older lady in twinset and pearls!!

[welshlibranr]

I remember pixie boots JJ, only just though!...........lol............I wear mine with knee high leather boots, don't like to see them with Uggs either!.........

[tiggerblue10]

Lol JJ, I used to have a pair of cherise pink pixie boots. I was never out of them and got told off for wearing them to school.
