In Case You Missed The Memo: Leggings are not "pants"

Okay, so I know this may offend some people but if you are one of them, it is probably because you are guilty of this. Don't get me wrong, if you are a size 0 with a perfect Victoria's Secret model body, you may be able to get away with wearing leggings as pants. Though, I still don't think you should. Leggings can be a nice addition to your wardrobe as long as they are worn in the right way. I'd like to show you WHY you should NOT wear leggings as pants.

Here we have Exhibit A: CELLULITE 

I know cellulite is genetic and a lot of women have it, myself included, but all you do when choosing to leave the house in leggings that leave your entire bottom half exposed is put it ALL on display. Cover it up with a long tunic or a skirt and we may never know you even have any.



Now for Exhibit B: CAMEL TOE

If you don't have an issue with cellulite (I envy you) please don't make other people have to look at all of the contours of your vag. The only people who should be looking at it are your husband, you doctor or your photographer if you are getting paid for it.


And Exhibit C: PANTY LINES or PANTIES or LACK-THERE-OF in some cases

We all know you love your sexy thongs or your comfy granny panties or anything in between but, this one is just as bad, maybe worse, than the "peek-a-boo" thong hanging out the back of your pants (yes, guilty of this one when I was a teenager). You may love your underwear but no other women on the street wanna see them through your "pants".



 So, how do we know if we are, indeed, leaving the house with pants on or not? Here is a little chart to help you decide:



Well then, how should leggings be worn? I personally love leggings! They are a great way to continue wearing skirts and dresses in the colder months while keeping your legs a little bit warmer.



These are great examples of a good way to wear leggings.

  1. LOL I love this! I have seen many a woman who need to read this blog! I personally have never worn leggings up until last month when I had a wedding to go to and the dress I purchased was just a little too short for my comfort. I hadn't figured out how else to wear leggings yet but your post has helped. So thanks!

    1. You're welcome! I, personally, love leggings but I stick to the rule that my butt and crotch must be covered while wearing them. :)

    2. LOL Nice! Now I need to find out where I can buy more of them from. I found my one pair from Walmart.
