Yes, leggings are a problem

Leggings seem to be a hot topic right now. Ever since a mother wrote an open letter to the student newspaper at Notre Dame critiquing leggings, women have been choosing a side and digging their heels in. Most seem to defend them.

Well, here’s another opinion to add to the mix, and this time by a 25-year-old woman and not a mother of teen boys: I think leggings are inappropriate.

I used to feel differently. Actually, let me rephrase that: I used to want to feel differently. I wanted to be convinced that what I wore was fine, even as I knew that I looked good in leggings and that I was choosing to attract attention to myself in a way that was distracting. But even when I could feel that I was dressing inappropriately, I used the same arguments every other woman has made regarding them. I didn’t want to acknowledge what I already knew: that there's no excuse for wearing leggings outside of the gym, and maybe even at the gym you should throw a pair of shorts over the top.

Now, before I continue, I want to make a couple of things clear. By leggings, I mean all leggings. The argument against too small or sheer leggings doesn't really seem relevant to me, because no woman I know would purposefully wear a pair of leggings that are see-through outside of her home. And by wearing leggings, I mean wearing them without a long sweater or blouse over the top to cover your bum. If you're doing that, that's a bit of a different scenario.

There are two reasons generally cited for why leggings are worn: one, they’re fashionable, and two, they’re comfortable.

As a fashion blogger, I take real issue with reason number one. Leggings aren't fashion! They are meant for exercising. Clothing used to be something people took pride in - it makes me sad that dressing down has become the new norm. So why do women wear leggings to look fashionable? Because if you have a nice pair of leggings, they’re flattering. They pull you in, up, and make everything look better. They match pretty much everything. It's understandable why women want to wear them. 

But they’re not fashion. They’re athletic clothing. And if you’re going to call them a fashion item, then you’ll have to explain to me why leggings are any different than a tight, low-cut, high-hemmed, sexy dress. I know that I would never consider wearing something like that, but in my head, I used to think that leggings were a different ball game. Maybe because they didn't actually show any skin, I could tell myself that they were more modest. 

But I’ve talked to many men about this very topic, and they’ve all told me that leggings are distracting. It’s not an insult to them that they know their own nature. Men are visual creatures. And the men who voice this are not weak – they’re the men who want to be good, who want to view women as more than their bodies. I know those are the kind of men I'd like to be surrounded with. Of course, that's not to say that a man should immediately treat you as less than a person if you're wearing something like leggings. But it's also not realistic to say that men won't be drawn to the physical when faced with it. 

At this point, the conversation usually shifts: we say that leggings are not about fashion, they’re about comfort. But this really gets me. Leggings are comfortable – but no more comfortable than a pair of sweatpants. So there’s no reason for any woman to wear them for comfort’s sake…unless you’re actually wearing them as a fashion item. So we end up back where we started. 

The mother who wrote the letter on this topic wasn’t wrong. She saw three young women at church, at Mass, wearing leggings and crop tops. A place of worship is not a place to either dress unthinkingly or dress with the implicit purpose of drawing attention to the physical. We dress nicely in synagogues and churches to express respect for God, not to show off what our bodies look like. And at this point in my life, I don't really believe that women don’t know that wearing leggings is distracting. If you didn't know before, maybe you'll believe it after reading this. And every time you put on leggings, you’ll have a choice to make.

Do you agree? Let me know in the comments!

Great article! Very spot on. I believe it's about respect as well. I am usually shunned for having the same opinion on leggings, so it's refreshing to hear someone else say this.

I don't agree because, leggings are meant to be worn as it is. To be comfortable. Yoga pants are for the gym. I myself is a worship of the One an All Mighty God. God created women as it is. The is no need to sexualize women's. If men are distracted, they should read the Bible. But God forbid, please don't wear cloths that show your bottom. Basically, the parts wear a bathing suit covers. I conclusion, leggings are perfectly fine. It's like when you show your shoulders to someone. Some people may think that as inappropriate. Again, it's fine. Bye. And Pray to God.

I have to admit, I completely disagree with this article. As someone who has struggled with body dysmorphia(and still is) leggings where an escape to fell confident about my body. I am extremely skinny and no matter what I do I cant gain wait and if I do it never appears in my body. I feel uncomfortable in sweatpants and jeans because they never fit my legs the right way and make my legs appear more skinny then they actually are. By wearing leggings and tighter shirts I feel confident going out in public and feel no shame in the clothes that I choose to wear. I have actually had people publicly shame me for wearing leggings and I feel that you shouldn't make assumptions for everybody. You never know someone's story and women shouldn't have to pay for men's attention problems in schools.

Women dont know men atall. There is not a single more attractive thing a girl could wear than pantyhose or tights. But women have stopped caring what men like apparently. So we settle for legging s the next best thing. Women just want to be more like men with cowboy boots and t shirts and jeans. Unless you trying to atttact a gay guy just stop already.

I wear cargo shorts and sometimes go commando. Even in those, I leave little to the imagination. I have been asked to leave stores before...which I understand and don't fuss about it. I have also been propositioned many times by women that were barely into their 20's...I am in my mid-fifties. If I were to wear tight fitting leggings etc, I would probably tear through them. The only solution I have ever found is to wear restrictive undergarments that hide what I have...but there are times when I need a break.

Bee, please do be careful. You do have a right. but remember we're living in a crazy world, there are people who are not mentally well and could get overly tempted by looking at your beautiful body. What if they decided to take it against your will? This could have happened to me and I don't have a beautiful body, but my actions tempted both male and female. This is not a game believe me. Many are watching you both male and female, some àre getting bothered more then others. Your shape is all they can think about, yes they are lusting after you and you don't need that type of attention. Save the wonderful gift that God has given you for that Good mans eyes and let it be his wonderful surprise.

Why should women leave things to the "imagination"? Why should women not show they're whole bodies? Why is it a womans job to not look like she just rolled out of bed, and also not look to "sexy", so men can pay attention to her? Why shouldn't we instead teach everyone to listen to one another, and not care about what they're wearing. Why is it so difficult for men to overlook what a woman is wearing, and listen to her? Why are we dregrading both men and woman, when it comes to looks?

Wearing leggings are more than just comfort. Sometimes people have body shapes and assets that just dont really work with say jeans. It is part of genetics and possibly diet. A man shouldn't have to be coddled about what is appropiate behavior. People are attracted to many things some people are attracted to feet but i still wear flipflops. For the record I was sexually assualted as an 11 yr old girl so I will wear what I want because it doesn't matter what you wear there are bad people everywere. Unfortunately we must learn to protect ourselves from those who can't act like actual humans. If you're attacted to people that's a you problem not a me problem that I must covet for you.

Remember that old saying: nobody’s going to buy the whole Cow if you’re giving out the milk for free?

Do you really think you are going to attract a man who wants a lifetime commitment with you when you’re showing your whole entire body off to everyone else in the world? Why would a man want to commit to a woman when he knows her body will never be 100% his?

I honestly couldn't believe when I went out grocery shopping and saw all these girls wearing crop tops and leggings. I'm a female and I could not keep my eyes off them for some reason? It was exceedingly distracting, I can't imagine the four men out there that have to physically remove their eyes from these girls and distract themselves from looking at them. I do live in the country and I'm very isolated but I honestly was Blown Away Today by how many are these young girls are wearing the same thing. They might as well be naked. Just saying be careful girls I'm a retired police officer oh, and there is no bigger statement you're making than going out looking like that.

I think theres been too much hollywood influence in fashion industry, you know making abnormal things normal in society. Sorry for my half baked opinion on this matter. But yeah honestly more women wearing sexy tights will visually please me.

I soooo agree with you! I work in the domestic violence and sexual assault community. Just because you can wear what you want to doesn’t mean you should, and it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea! You really are tempting men! You are tempting other women’s husbands to lust after you. You are tempting men who have porn addictions to lust after you. After all, you basically are walking pornography! You are tempting men who have impulse control issues to lust after you. There is one and only reason why women would wear those leggings that pull up into the rear end and leave nothing to the imagination: It’s because you want men to lust after you! You want them to stare at your ass! It’s trashy, in my opinion.

I totally disagree with you! You can buy classy better made, thicker leggings with a nice pullover sweater or vest and look classy!!! If you wear thin, tight, five dollar leggings, you will look cheap! Even tight denim jeans look like cheap leggings and will show your butt! There's no difference, just color and material!

Who actually cares. Why obsess over something that’s not your business? Does it get tiering to be this passive aggressive to people simpler living their loved and wearing what they want. If you feel you are immodest wearing leggings then go right ahead and put on your long sweater. But this shouldn’t shame other people for not agreeing with your lifestyle. I even saw an awful comment saying that a woman wearing legging is the equivalent of a man going out and wearing underwear. But this makes no sense, does this mean bathing suits are immodest? Men’s shorts? Women’s Shorts? What is the obsession with women being sexual beings that don’t know how to hide their body’s for the worth of a man or fear what a man will think. I think this article is tone-deaf and frankly not a good influence on young women.

First comment I’ve agreed with. Every one of theses comments is on judging others and quite honestly it’s bloody well nobody’s business what someone else wears male or female. This is exactly what’s wrong with this world today judgment of others. Mind your own business and stop inflicting your views on someone else. By saying what you do makes it in to a sexual thing.

Right! When I saw this article my jaw dropped. I didn’t think people cared so much about leggings! If you like looking at a girls ass because it looks good - go ahead! But I don’t think we should blame the girl. My husband has never made advances towards a girl because of her clothing or even made a comment. Look at it - and keep going about your day. Not going to listen to “it distracts men” when on their free time they are on Pornhub. Goodbye!

Sweatpants are unattractive on girls. Kind of like when a girl puts on a mans shirt and thinks shes cute but only reminds men of one of their guy friends. Girls need to face the truth that men only want to see attractive women and thats it. I have never flirted with a ugly girl before and never would. What really matters is whats on the inside is something only ugly people say. Truth hurts i can not lie.

Women want to be men and men want to be women…it’s all messed up. Leggings are the worst kind of fashion ever one can not even call it fashion. It is vulgar, disgusting and trashy. Women want to look trashy and dirty then so be it but don’t pretend it’s not for the attention of men. Why wear leggings with everything exposed why not just go naked. Might as well. Also a lot of the women have such massive flabby figures which is more puke worthy than anything else. Stop sexualising everything. Leave something for the imagination.

Sorry, you can't have it both ways. On the one hand, you complain about men ogling you or looking at your body. On the other hand, leggings leave little to the imagination regarding your private areas front and back, especially if colored or made of skin tight spandex. It's seriously hypocritical and dishonest. Can't you work out in shorts and a T shirt? Jeans or shorts are just fine. Oh, and if you're butts a bit large, forget it.

Finally someone puts into words what Ive been thinking ever since leggings came out! Totally agree esp. including the church aspect. Ive seen plenty of people now ( not usually men tho...mostly women, older, younger, and even very young... I feel embarrassed for them!! It really does look like a person is walking around in tight underwear! so tight they look naked! I just feel sad that, in my opinion, respect for ones own body and the negative influence it is having on even little girls is frightening! Ive looked around for the "regular slacks that are moe comfortable, for me anyway, and every store is full of the tight pants! * I also wonder wether or not people realize how unhealthy tight clothing is; docyors will tell you, wearing them too much causes bloating, weight gain ( our bodies are being sucked in instead of having even weight distribution), gas, and eve n digestion problems. One of these days it will all come out!! Havingvexercised plenty in regular fitting clothing, I find it much easier and breathable! And still builds health ( esp. for us arthritics!) and I can breathe better!! thanks so much Abby!!!

Would be interesting to know why everyone is here...why they found, read and commented on this topic. Me? My wife and I have argued about it. It's incredibly weird, a husband and wife seemingly in a match over who is the actual feminist.

She thinks men who so much as have an opinion should shut up, states "they're comfortable" and basically, if a man "can't control himself" he's a perv. Since I make most arguments using metaphors, I ask her to exchange leggings for extremely short skirts, and if worn with underwear, what would she think if all the women and teens wearing leggings today threw them out and tomorrow began wearing crotch-cut skirts. Anyone attempting to argue they'd have no problem, save it. Because it's in our DNA to assume a skirt cut to crotch level is the very definition of "skanky whore."

Then I fire the silver bullet. In modern suburbia, the annual sharing of prom photos over Facebook is a tradition shared by the moms. No one...no one...gives a crap about the boys...all the attention is on the girls and their dresses. And what about the dresses? They all wear microdressea with heels. Yeah, sure there's skin and squeezing upstairs, but it's "downstairs", along withe legs, that draws the wide eyes and snarky comments.

So I've told her what difference there is makes leggings worse. On a couple occasions I saw "everything" on a female with leggings. But never saw a thing other than thighs with a slut skirt or microdress.

So what does my wife say when I've one-two'd her with these examples?" My wife doesn't admit she's wrong, ever, or that my point is better. I have to settle for her leaving the room to know I "won."

For those who say "what's wrong with leaving nothing to the imagination"? I'll share a bit from my single years. I was 19. October, 1988. I saw a girl...got light-headed making eye contact. She was a 1988 punk princess Marilyn Monroe. Ultrablonde, curves, ruby lips, alluring eyes, leather jacket, matching black leather boots with a peek of socks. What did ahe typically wear? Black leggings under a tastefully short skirt. Yes, noticed her superficial qualities but thankfully summoned the courage to speak words, ask her out and cupids arrow made a bloody mess of me. "Her crazy matched my crazy". One night after I brought her home, her parents in bed, house dark, I went to the bedroom where (get your head put of the gutter) she changed into TV watching clothes. She removed her boots and a moment later her skirt unzipped and she passed inches in front of me, and my eyes followed right, to left, seeing her in a small top and leggings alone. I made a sly remark like "I've wanted to see the various layers...your soul, your clothes...we're getting close now. She sauntered over, me sitting, her standing, got close, close...put her hands on the sides of my head and said "and you're the only one I sharr these layers with." The leggings moves a bit south, but she kindly asked me to look away. Which I did. Then back. Then away. Paint a good picture? Fun memory. To be young. THIS is why leaving things to the imagination is FaNtAsTiC! When she said ahe loves me for the firat time a bit later, I knew she did. She only shared with me, and everyone else had to settle for what was on top. She was a speed skater, so people saw her in her spandex suit. But that was business. I'd prefer my sig other have a line others don't cross...and that the line isn't spandex covered genitalia.

I also I’m very relieved to know that there are other women out there that feel the same way I do. I almost wrote an article for the newspaper about this very topic. Leggings, especially some of the leggings I’ve seen women wear recently are EXTREMELY IMMODEST and that’s why they ARE trashy! They leave NOTHING to the imagination. I think women who wear them look like prostitutes or strippers! And I’m sorry but the whole entire world is not your own personal strip club! I think they are very inappropriate to wear out in public, in front of children, in front of OTHER WOMEN’S HUSBANDS!!! Like, how can you possibly live with your self? How can you possibly parade around knowing you are enticing married men to stare at your ass and be OK with that? No decent human being would ever do that!

I hope thinking like this makes you feel better about yourself. It's obvious you somehow think you are superior because you choose not to wear leggings. I hope you gain some self-esteem and stop relying on putting other women down to get some confidence. Look up "pick-me girl". Because that's exactly what you are.

I agree that all women should consider what they wear and dress modestly, but I don't like to blame immodest dress on an article of clothing. We can pretty much find a way to get attention wearing almost anything. It's more of a character issue. We all need to think about what our motivation is for how we dress. Our outward appearance usually just reflects our inward thoughts.

I actually recant this statement, I think that all women and people should wear whatever the fuck they want! I mean it's not bothering me and my family, why should I care! I was at the grocery store the other day and saw my husband eyeing a woman who was wearing a sports bra and tight leggings, I realized the men are the problem, not us not the woman innocently just buying her groceries. Men need to learn how to have self control. As the great Billie Eilish said, whatever others percieve of me is not my fucking responsibility. PEACE OUT HIPPIES<3

“say that leggings are not about fashion, they’re about comfort. But this really gets me. Leggings are comfortable – but no more comfortable than a pair of sweatpants. So there’s no reason for any woman to wear them for comfort’s sake…unless you’re actually wearing them as a fashion item“

Leggings are comfortable. Leggings also make you look good without trying hard. What’s the issue if woman want to look good without styling an outfit for 20 mins?? Sweatpants are supposed to be worn when you’re cold inside your house, not going to a store because that just makes you look trashy let’s be real. Leggings are not just comfortable, but also make you look good. If looking good is fashion then why can’t leggings be fashion? Who says their for working out?

My point was in trying to understand, if leggings are a fashion item, why you would feel comfortable wearing them knowing that they're in many ways as revealing as something sexier that you may not wear for modesty purposes. I also understand that this is a topic that many women feel strongly about, so I just wanted to share my POV. 😊

There are leggings made for fashion, as well: they're a bit thinner than athletic ones, but thicker than tights. I own several pair, myself, to be worn under dresses that are a bit shorter than I thought they would be when I ordered them online. I wear them under those, and in winter under jeans as an additional layer.

Also, as a dogwalker, lemme tellya, Jean's or other thick fabric is NOT comfortable in the hot summer. So, yeah, I often wear them with a longish tank. And if men happened to see me, he, so what, I'm sweaty and covered in dog hair and slobber, I doubt they're reading "sexy" from that! 😂

Sweatpants are trashy but leggings that show off every curve and camel toe is somehow less trashy? Your logic is flawed.

I think leggings look lazy, because as you stated, they're workout wear. It makes sense to wear them and be revealing at the gym, because they are specifically for ease of movement without the weight and drag of sweatpants. But if you wear that out in public, then you look like you don't care, much like with sweatpants and pajama pants. If someone wears them because they don't care, more power to them, I guess, but they shouldn't say they want to look good to justify wearing leggings.
And I don't care how comfortable they are, no one should ever wear leggings to church, except under a skirt that's too short.

I know the article you're referring to. I didn't have an issue with the woman's opinion, really, but more an issue of how some people responded to the article. Some people insisted that women wear leggings specifically to attract men and I completely disagree with this! Maybe some women do, but the women I know who wear leggings wear them for comfort, not to attract men. Anyway, I personally don't care what anyone wears or the reasons why they are wearing what they are wearing. I do agree though that leggings are a lazy way to dress, especially if you're going to church or any event where you should put at least a little bit of effort in dressing. However, I have to admit I also love leggings because of the comfort! As a personal thing, I get uncomfortable really quickly when it comes to certain clothes: if they're too tight, if the seams itch, if the fabric is scratchy...basically, I am really picky about fabric and comfort. It's a personal quirk. I do make sure to wear shirts that are long enough to cover my butt and crotch, though! I would feel self-conscious if I didn't, unless I was at the gym (but I still try to wear longish shirts there too).

There's a thing called "dress appropriately". Respect the house of God and respect your workplace. I don't mind people wearing leggings anywhere else but not at work and especially the church. If you really love leggings that much then wear a sweater dress and boots or maybe something long and flowy and pair it with a blazer and heels.

It's always a sticky situation when we judge or criticize a person's choice of dress. We always want to feel and look good. It requires judgement on the part of the dresser to look professional, classy, respectful and appropriate. If my dress is distracting to others, male or female, in a decidedly negative way, then something's awry. Educate yourself re the image you want to portray and how to achieve it. It takes maturity, wisdom, and honouring yourself and how you want to present yourself to the world.

I literally get nauseated when I'm out with my bf and I see women in short shorts exposing their butt cheeks or other revealing clothing and it makes me extremely uncomfortable because I'm so sick of having to worry about my bf looking at that with or without me present. I just don't understand why some women nowadays choose to dress this way. It's just distasteful, slutty, and inconsiderate. Makes me absolutely hate the summer for this reason because it's not your free card to dress indecently.

I find leggings on women to be very attractive. If a woman is in decent shape and she's not covering up, guys are going to look. I also understand how comfortable leggings are as I wear them around the house. If I could, I'd wear them in public too so I get it. So to all women, if you don't want guys to look at your butt, wear a longer top. Some women want the attention though and it's obvious.

You should definitely not wear leggings in a church, that's disrespectful. I tend to agree with you also that there is generally no reason to wear something that draws so much attention but then again, why would I care if men get distracted. That's not my problem! Plenty of men run around shirtless when it's hot, in the park but also elsewhere. Do they care about distracting women and that it might be inappropriate? Maybe they should, I'm divided on that, but as long as they don't women shouldn't care either. And in an ideal world they shouldn't have to care about distracting men for their safety.
I wonder what Karl Lagerfeld thought about wearing leggings outside... You know he said about jogging pants: "Jogging pants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life, so you bought some jogging pants."

You know I read your article and really it’s not for me to agree or disagree because it’s not my place it’s called freedom a society in which we live. Freedom of speech freedom of expression is a wonderful thing sometimes it’s colourful but again if we are going to be a society that’s lived our freedoms then people should wear what they want when they want except church that’s a different forum. If I see a woman wearing tights going for a walk with a baseball hat on I would admire her actually would inspire to be fit so you or I could look like that but that’s my in my mind opinion and I’m a man yes. If I saw a guy wearing compression tights and top going for a bike or jog I also would admire and would be inspired to get off my butt and go work out. I guess what I’m saying is in the proper environment wear what your soul tells you to wear if you feel good without judgement by others. This is where society is wrong 100% by feeling they have an opinion based on there thoughts. Everyone is different and has different opinions based on there own feelings or the way they we’re raised or had an issue in the past again we should all understand we are all different and should be entitled to do as we feel in any form of expression without judgment from others

I am a 57 year old bodybuilder with an amazing body. I love leggings. All this talk about when you should wear leggings is stupid. If your Christian, you are not supposed to judge.

do you judge over-weight people for wearing clothing that is too tight. Who are you to judge anyone. If your man wants to wear leggings what is the problem.

Blue Jean where originally designed for men, boy shorts, boxer underwear, smoking, drinking, soldiering, boycotts and construction working the same.

Men created and manufactured lipstick, eye shadow, false, weight supplement, exercise, cars, plans, boats, coats, housing and fashion. Get over yourself.

We are Alpha men and don't need humans like you to telling us what we should wear.

Stop your crying and jump onboard the world of change.
I look hot in my leggings and i'm not going to stop wearing them because someone bit into a sour apple.

I love the fact that woman can wear men's clothing and wear it well. So - Just have a coke and a small and relax.

I am a woman who wears leggings often, for many different reasons, and I can assure you that until I came across this blog just now, it has never once crossed my mind what anyone—male or female—might have been thinking about me in my leggings. This is literally a non-issue. Obviously, I wouldn’t deliberately choose to wear leggings that are see-through; however, if you can’t seem to think about anything other than ass and vagina even when a woman is wearing appropriately opaque leggings, I’m sorry to say the problem is YOU—not the woman, and not her leggings. Maybe you need to lock yourself in the bathroom and have a good long wank BEFORE you leave the house in the morning, so you can control yourself when out in public? Give it a try. And while you’re at it, can you please stop staring at women’s crotches? Apparently no one ever told y’all that it’s extremely rude and frankly quite perverted to do that. Thanks!

I need to write my college essay on fashion trends. I do not have time to follow fashion trends, so I read blogs about fashionable clothes.

Everyone should dress comfortably! It's your choice. I just don't like going out and having to give an anatomy lesson to my boys as to what that double bulge is! Of course I play it down with some jokes also, but there needs to be some compromise. I think even superman masks his bulge so the whole world doesn't have to see it. Especially if they're see through and they weren't before you put them on, that needs to be addressed.. I love all woman in all shapes and sizes, but we need compromise. I could wear a skin tight wicking shirt, but I understand my limits and I'm considerate for people around me!🤪🤙

Absolutely fuck this blog. And fuck the jerkoffs posting that a woman can't just wear clothes that are comfortable without being called a slut. This whole thing is a shitshow fr. Leggings are just another piece of clothing. Imagine pegging every woman in leggings as a whore.... pretty pathetic thing to even worry about. Feel bad for conservatives worrying about everything except the things that matter

Great piece, thank you! Leggings leave nothing to the imagination and are a supremely lazy choice of clothing. When I'm out in public, I am often the only woman NOT in some type of athleisure wear. What happened to "real" clothing with buttons and zippers or any sense of feminine modesty and style? What happened to any attempt at appropriate dress? I cringe EVERY TIME I'm in stores and am forced to see tight, transparent spandex stretched across obese rear ends. Everyone looks the same! Hair in a bun, tight leggings, t-shirt or tank top, and flip flops or better yet, soccer slides with socks. It's like a uniform anymore. This is definitely not a trend that elevates our culture. Ditch the leggings, ladies!

Who said anything about wearing a "Victorian dress"? You can dress modestly, tastefully and with class without a "Victorian dress". Being mindful of how you present yourself to the world does not require dressing from another era. It just requires being willing to adopt higher standards. Most people seem willing to forego that option these days.

I really agree with you. As a man who respects women it makes me feel bad and uncomfortable when I see them at the gym and I look, and I try not to. It's as you said, we tend to be more physical and to be judged for it is very unfair, as lots of women will do if you bring it up, oh don't be a pig. I mean I appreciate attractive women, but your body is shouldn't be the highlight.

Rather than teaching our girls that they are a distraction to boys and should cover up, why don’t we start teaching our boys to be better humans? Let’s stop with the “men are visual “ excuse. Teach your boys to respect girls and women by staring with yourself. Do you put yourself down in front of them? Do you put other women down in front of them because of the way they are dressed? Kindness starts at home.

I completely disagree with this article. If women want to wear leggings, so be it, not everyone is trying to attract attention, and not everyone has a degree in fashion. Leggings are comfortable, so what if they aren’t fashionable, who cares? Let the woman own her body and do whatever the heck she wants with it. It’s NONE OF UR BUSINESS. If it’s distracting you, that’s your problem not hers. Goddamn, it’s 2021, should we even be having this argument, Karen? And we should not dismiss that men will “stare” and even, god forbid, “take advantage” of her as “part of their nature”. What the HECK. We should, instead, call men OUT. Why should a woman be afraid to wear tights because of men staring, she should feel comfortable always, and SHE should not be the one to blame for wearing an ARTICLE OF CLOTHING. It was mentioned that bad things will come from bad people who will want inappropriate things, but this is NOT THE WOMANS FAULT. It is so sad that we live in a world where women cannot feel comfortable to just wear a simple article of clothing. Leggings were also compared to “wearing nothing at all”, and to this person I say, that is only YOU who sees it this way, no one thinks as inappropriately as you do, and you should get help, the woman did nothing wrong, it is her right, and when she is simply wearing tights and you overly sexualise her, you are the one in the wrong. Leggings are an affordable and comfortable garment, and, whatever the intentions of the wearer, it’s NONE of ur concern.

Yes, I agree that leggings should not be worn by themselves in public (not covered by a dress or skirt, etc). I don't agree with the rhetoric out there that men should just be more responsible. There are some strange, godless ways of thinking nowadays about behavior in public and making others responsible and "wrong" for saying anything. It was only a generation ago when people knew how to behave and dress in public. When someone waves their privates in my face, or their lice infested dreds, or nasty stuff...it does become my concern and the concern for the welfare of my family. That kind of behavior is just disrespectful. There should be a difference between pjs at home and dressing in public. I think there's meaning and responsibility in all of the choices we make, including dressing modestly. We should dress respectfully in synagogue to respect God and show respect to our relationship with HIM. We should show awareness, respect, and responsibility when we dress - both to respect what we have been given and to show consideration to others with how we dress and behave.
If you have not watched the music video by Anita Renfroe, "Those Ain't Pants", I highly recommend it.

I agree with this article. I HATE wearing leggings and honestly feel incredibly uncomfortable in them at the gym. But everyone wear them and if i wore loose sweatpants that im comfortable in and that ive worn for decades to the gym, people wojld think theres something wrong with me. I havent been working out late,y and im not tight and i dont like letting it all hang out. Its incredibly uncomfortable and also, i abhore this cropped top trend. Having problems finding tops to cover my stomach and hips/butt. Even when i was in the best shape, theres no way id ever wear just a bra top. Bra top and leggings is very popular. Also, i dint like having auch close contact with the machine seats in leggings. I feel more protected in cotton pants. Also, as far as sweating in cotton, i love it cause it heats up my muscles better than leggings and then i can oush myself more. But i dint dare wear cotton pants for fear of the young ones judging. Thinking im old. F them! Ive been in the gym longer than alot have been alive. Also, i dont find men to be a bother. Its more the other women. Like a competitive vibe which i hate. Im there to work out, not compete. Or impress. Also, will not spend a lot of money for something im gonna sweat in, then throw away. Idk who buys used leggings, but gahross. Think about it!

Leggings are not for every one. Away with the comfort factor. I agree that it is distracting in a negative way when some women wear leggings with a crop top. It is very inappropriate. Leggings are crotch hugging. Why would any decent woman want to display the outline of her crotch? No self-respecting woman would do this. Leggings should be worn with tops that have reasonable length to cover your bum and crotch. End of story.

Women who wear leggings with no skirt do it for attention and laziness. They are worth less than nothing to me. I immediately stare at their crotches as they walk by. They dressed that way to be looked at, so I'll look right at them and reduce them to nothing more than a sex object. Keep on wearing leggings, ladies. We love it.

There is a song my wife found on YouTube called "Those Ain't Pants" that covers this topic pretty well. Now when we see someone walking around wearing leggings/yoga pants as though they are appropriate as pants, we quote the song.

Simply put, leggings are just like tights without feet. Would you walk around in public wearing footless tights and nothing else covering your bum? If so, you aren't modest. If not, don't kid yourself that leggings are okay substitutes. They have no better coverage. As others have mentioned, they leave practically nothing to the imagination. (They also give the subtle signal that you may not have shaved your legs, thanks to some members of the population bragging about that pretty regularly.) Leaving intimate knowledge of your physique to the imagination of would-be suitors is more of a lure than putting everything out there for the world to see.

I love leggings but I wear them with long shirts/dresses/tunics. I don’t actually care what anyone else does. If wearing a crop top and leggings is your idea of fashion, you do you.
Leggings were a fashion item long before they became sports clothes. Men in the Middle Ages aside, in the 1960’s and 1980’s, leggings were casual wear and women wore sweats or leotards when working out (any ‘80’s aerobics video for reference).

Abby, I know this is an old post but I couldn’t
t agree more on this topic. I see women all ages, shapes, sizes, everywhere I go, clad in skin tight leggings. Everything is revealed! Too much information! There is no attempt to cover anything, no modesty. It is lazy and trashy. What is wrong with regular clothing? Today I was at an outdoor community market and it was a sea of leggings. Women in their 60s have jumped on the bandwagon, wearing them with puffer jackets and boots. There are no secrets when everyone can see every little detail of your rear and thighs. It is not flattering and does not elevate your look.
Recently I was in a store where a teen girl walked around in leggings while some pervy guy skulked around staring when he got the chance. It was so obvious. Women have prioritized “comfort” at the expense of class and elegance and are attracting the wrong kind of attention. Is there something wrong with dressing in a way that brings us respect? Taking a bit of effort to dress is not that hard. You can be comfortable and classy at the same time. Instead, most women have adopted a leggings uniform and they all look alike. I would encourage women to really think about the message they send to the world in body revealing leggings. We can do better.

There's a few things that I want to say about leggings, from a man's perspective trying to be straightforward and not sugarcoating anything. 1. Yes, leggings are definitely distracting/catch a man's eye like a magnet, I'm not necessarily saying it's good or bad it's some of each, it's good in the way that almost if not all of us men are like "dang you can see every outline, curve, the closest thing to a girl being naked in public. But it can be bad in the way that almost every girl wears them and I always think how I would hate if my significant other wore them out everywhere, or if one day I had a daughter I'd hope she would dress more modestly, and also the distraction part for me is pretty strong In that I'm a straight male and naturally am visually and by nature attracted to the female body , it's in our DNA, and
This doesn't mean I'm shaming anyone who wears them or that I'm all for them, It just needs to be said that although I've never been yelled at or called out by any female for looking, I don't sit their and drool or be "creepy" but admittedly so I don't mind and am not too ashamed to look/try to keep it semi casual/but not overly try to hide looking or be ashamed to, I do think that the majority of women who wear them with no shirt covering, super tight/wear them out often etc know dang well wether they admit it or not that they know if attracts attention and most of the time in some way or another like that attention, wether they do it subconsciously to boost confidence or feel good about themselves, or wether they are genuinely so innocent that they honestly think they are just keeping up with modern fashion, or wether they down right like teasing , probably depends on each individual woman obviously. As a man I just want to defend myself and my fellow men and note this: if you want to wear leggings etc it's your own choice and whatnot but I hope that no girl that does ever scolds, or shames, or calls out a man for looking. Like I've said I have never had it happen to me, and I do believe that most women know they are being looked at and either don't mind or deep down like the attention, or at the least maybe don't intend/seek that but understand that men are men and going to look. But I just wish that women would admit/be a little more honest and real about it, but most importantly never try to blame or shame men and pawn off some BS defensive feminazi excuse. (And women I mean looking, I don't mean if hypothetically a man was staring for minutes straight and drooling with a creepy grin on his face or something like that, I mean the average man's glances, looks , short stare but trying to look away etc. And lastly my own personal opinion not that it means much just my own opinion, I always naturally thought it was awkward and not good fashion or good taste when it became popular that they be worn out everywhere, I was like why are girls wearing spandex gym clothes all the time everywhere and simply saying "well they're comfortable" , people a pair of silky underwear or anything can be comfortable, that doesn't cover every excuse to wear them everywhere necessarily, and if it does to you that's great but to me that would be like me dressing in gym shorts and a crappy Tshirt all the time and being like haha well its comfy, not saying it makes you a horrible person, but just seems lazy and not fashionable at all. And I also will admit that as a man , and knowing how other men are the same way naturally, the thought of a significant other or one day daughter wearing them just makes me feel like I hope they don't , because what man would want his girl knowingly being oogled and glanced at by other men in such sexually attractive clothing. In other words "so you're saying you find them sexy and you admit that you look and oogle but you don't want your girl to wear them? Sexist men" no , a naked woman on tv can be attractive and got me looking, but does that mean Id want women in my life that I care about to go be naked like that/something similar? Hell no. Respectfully , just a guys honest thoughts.

Thanks for the honesty Brian and thank you also got not being too harsh. I do think most women wear it because they like how it looks on them - rather they aren’t trying to get attention from men, but truly like it for themselves. I wear my cute outfits at the gym but nowhere else. My husband is the same in the regards to fashion. He honestly hates them and doesn’t get it haha. But he also doesn’t get sexual to me when I’m wearing them, either. So that’s I know i definitely don’t wear it to get attention - most men really do hate leggings. He treats me like any woman should be treated so while I do think it’s worse for other men - when I see an attractive guy at the gym, I don’t blame it on his clothes. He would be attractive in a suit or gym clothes 🤷🏽‍♀️ But I know we all are made differently.

I have a simple question for every man and woman here. What are you doing fighting with people online? If one person believes that leggings are the end of the world, and men are only visual creatures, then they have a right to believe that, I'm not saying it's wrong or right. On the other hand, if a person believes that leggings are fine and comfortable and men should just handle their emotions and temptations, then thay's not wrong either. We just shouldn't fight about an ARTICLE OF CLOTHING. Also, any argument using religion as a defence, is done. Not everyone is religious.
