Are we talking about leggings? I practically live in leggings or are we talking tights...the kind that move and make you look like you've got jello for a body.
I think most of the time the word tights is used to refer to leggings as well (even though not technically correct). So, tights and leggings both look disturbing with a short shirt that does not cover the behind. :/
I guess the girls here are talking about leg hugging tights/panty hose/ leggings etc. When worn with short shirts they really leave nothing to the imagination. Camel toe, butt line etc are on display.
I hate it!!! I can't stand when tights are worn as pants!!! Biggest fashion faux pas!!! Disgusting and looks so bad. But you even see it on run ways these days??? Don't mean to make this sound like an ignorant but recently moving to the US , I had never been around such a large Mexican community and that's all they wear!!! Every time and if people know what I'm talking about, they'll know their not the smallest built of people.
Not to make it sound like a skinny or fat issue but I think the only ones that can pull it off are the skinnier girls because there is less showing or hanging out. It is generally more flattering like when I have seen girls wearing it with a blazer! They are the ones the rest of us need to cover up the front and back low enough. So annoying!!!! I hate seeing it unless I see it at the gym but sometimes again, if it's not flattering the. It doesn't look good no matter how trendy it is. Everyone has styles that suit their figure types, in particular tights are very figure specific to who can pull it off.
I feel like its one of those looks that you would only seen worn that way on the runway but doesn't work in real life! only with longer shirts.
Ghosty so which do you prefer for yourself? Tights or leggings? :p
I've gotta be honest here: I'm not entirely clear on the terminology but whichever one better accentuates my beefy man-thighs is the one I'm partial to.
