How do you guys feel about wearing leggings as actual pants? Shannon/shaaanxo does it a lot. While I hate a slight love/hate relationship with her, I kind of like her style sometimes, and it doesn't look bad. I dunno, maybe I'm just super tacky. Leggings are super comfortable. If they are opaque, and you don't have a panty line, then why not?
I mean, I try my hardest to find tops that cover my bum, but if they don't, I kind of don't care. Plus, I feel like some of them are actually slimming? Since they don't really add extra bulk.

Re: Leggings as pants?
I will wear them as pants as long as my bum is covered. There are many ways to tastefully wear leggings.
My rules:
Not sheer
No camel toe

Re: Leggings as pants?
I wear them whenever and however I want. They look nice and are comfortable. It doesn't really matter to me if you can see someones underwear or not. If it bothers someone then why are you even looking? No one is holding your face to a persons ass (that wasn't directed at OP, just people who have a problem with them as pants in general).

Re: Leggings as pants?
I do, and I'm a big lady. I do cover my stuff though. LOL!! I think it's cute in the winter to wear them with a longer sweater... Or in the summer with a lightweight tunic.
Re: Leggings as pants?
I wear leggings as pants. But I wear a huge cardigan on top to cover my butt and wear a shirt that covers my crotch. Whenever I go shopping in NYC I always stop by Uniqlo. They sell the most comfortable leggings ever!! They put fake buttons to make it look like pants.

Re: Leggings as pants?
This topic has been beaten to death. Yeah I wear them and I don't care what people think of it. There are much worse things that someone can wear.

Re: Leggings as pants?
If they're slightly thin then I put on a longer shirt with it but those VS Pink yoga leggings are fucking genius and I wear those as pants with normal tops all the time. If someone has an issue with it then fuck them I don't give a shit. They don't have to look at me. (and my butt looks amazing in those anyway)
imma ball til the day i fall

Re: Leggings as pants?
I think they are ok as long as you're wearing a top or jacket that covers your butt. I personally think they look better with boots as opposed to open toe shoes like sandals.

Re: Leggings as pants?
Honestly, I always wear leggings as pants, just cause of how comfortable they are. I don't mind it showing my butt, but always make sure it doesn't show my camel toe. Now that's more inappropriate than showing your ass in my opinion! So therefore I wear long shirts but higher them at the back just to make my ass look good cause it looks bad when a shirt is over it.
Re: Leggings as pants?
^same! for some reason i feel like wearing long shirts that cover my butt feels too matronly

Re: Leggings as pants?
I wear leggings as pants all the time! Look at KimK, she's the queen of doing so - but, there is one rule to it and that is to wear a longer top so your bum is covered and please, no camel toe, that's just disgusting! As long as they're really opaque with an awesome top that covers all the lady bits ;P I say go for it. They can be dressed up or down, can you see I'm a big fan?
Please bear with me, English is my second language

Re: Leggings as pants?
I love lululemon leggings, too. The diamond gusset really helps prevent camel toe. I like cheaper brands, too, but lulu is definitely my first loveElenasnow wrote:I wear lululemon leggings, you don't get cameltoe wearing them

Re: Leggings as pants?

Re: Leggings as pants?
Try Uniqlo leggings. They are amazing! No cameltoe, stretchy, super comfy, ect.Angie V wrote:^ are lululemon ones really expensive and if they are, would you guys say they're worth the price? I'm always on the hunt for amazing leggings seeing as I wear them practically 24/7 xD
Re: Leggings as pants?
In short, yes, I think they're worth it. They're thick and don't give me CT lol. I have a couple pairs that I wear solely for yoga, but there are a few that I wear casually. The Wunder Under Crops are the ones I wear casually. The price isn't pretty, but compared to other competitive brands (Victorias Secret, Athleta, Lorna Jane) the prices are on point. I only own 2 pairs of wunder under crops and they get a lot of use. My other favorite leggings from lulu is the Will Pants but I don't think they have any out right now. Also, spandex makes butts look amazing. LolAngie V wrote:^ are lululemon ones really expensive and if they are, would you guys say they're worth the price?

Re: Leggings as pants?
I don't mind, as long as no underwear, underwear lines or cameltoe are showing. I wear them with oversized hoodies, large t-shirts and so on. Basically if my top covers my butt, then I feel comfortable wearing leggins as pants.

Re: Leggings as pants?
I'm not a huge fan of them but i can tolerate them if the crotch and bum are covered. I'm sorry but no one wants to see anyone's ass or CT regardless of how good it looks, I'm going to get hate for saying this but showing off your bum in a pair of leggings that highlight everything, looks kind of cheap IMO but to each their own, if your into them them great just make sure your lady bits are covered.
