By now I’m sure you’re well aware of my opinion on leggings as pants, which has always been, and continues to be, a very solid Nay. The whole Oops-I-forgot-to-wear-trousers! look flatters about .0004% of the population. If you are in that miniscule subset, you should definitely stop wearing them because flaunting your membership card to the cool kids club is just so ’02.
Anyway, as was recently pointed out to me, apparently I’m not the only one who feels this way. A few of my fellow haters have founded the genius website Tightsarenotpants.com which outlines—with hilariously exquisite precision— the many cons associated with the style. Even better though, are the postcard-ready PDFs you can download to help spread the word about this important anti-tights movement. Do your part and check it out.

Wearing leggings (which are usually more opaque than tights or pantyhose) is very comfortable and people look great wearing them. Many like the form fitting feel of wearing leggings. The fit is right when the fit is tight. When wearing leggings you don’t need any underwear and I advise people to pull them on all the way up for a “glove fit.” You don’t need shorts or a skirt over leggings, they are fine on their own.
When you do wear leggings, choose a well made pair – not with cotton fibers that bag out over time but a high tech fiber that retains its shape. Get over the body image constraints and just wear them. Go for the comfort and support. Leggings that go to the ankle have a greater positive visual aesthetic than capri style that chop the leg. Plus the full length leggings support you from your ankle to your waist and give you an energetic lift.

All girls should wear leggings as if they’re pants. They’re cute.

LMFAO.
abomination?
Because I am wearing tights as pants, indeed, I shall begin genocide.
On a race called nontightwearingions.
Sound good?
1. Tights… are indeed, not pants, they are tights.
2. It juusttt fine if you wear a big shirt…
3. are we including leggings as tights because if so leggings are justt fine to wear ‘pant-like’ but the see through tights worn liiikkkeeee pants are fine to wear, you’ll just be made fun of. A lot.
4. I do not believe tackyness can possibly blind you. and if that was a joke…
Well, I’ll be blunt. That wasn’t funny. it was ignorant.

seriously, guys. it’s not that tough. tights are NOT pants and should never be treated as such.
It makes me sad when girls forget their skirts and just wear a t shirt with leggings. They look so woefully misinformed.

hm, so tights are NOT pants, =] I agree. Some people dont read. if tights are not pants you do not wear them as pants, with a large dress sized shirt, they are not worn as pants, with a normal sized shirt, the ends on you hips, that is called wearing them like pants. my main problem with tights as pants is that they DO NOT SUPPORT! It isnt very nice to walk down the street and see someone’s arss jiggling all over the place. Y.U.C.K.
