Hey there friends.
I'll have you know that I have been a leggings hater in the past. I remember one time in high school, a girl showed up to class wearing black leggings, a skin-tight long sleeved black shirt and ugg boots and I thought... yuck. I hate that. And for the record, I still do. You will not find me wearing that EVER.
However, I have expanded my knowledge of leggings and their usefulness in certain outfits.

I choose to wear leggings only when the top I'm wearing is oversized and covers my rear end. I don't see leggings and pants as totally interchangeable, but leggings are fun, comfy, and a good edition to some of my outfits! But hey, that's just my opinion. I love that we can all decide what works for us when it comes to fashion... that's what makes it so fun!

What is your take on leggings? Pants or not?

I would say it depends on the thickness of the leggings. I tend to wear thicker leggings as pants or with a normal length shirt. But I also have thinner leggings that I will only wear with longer shirt, I just feel more comfortable that way. Oh and please never wear leggings that are the color of your skin...it just looks strange :)

That's so true! Thicker leggings are definitely a better option for shorter shirts. And agreed with the skin color leggings... people have to do a double take to make sure you're wearing pants!
DeleteMan, this really is such a debate! I think in the case of what you're wearing - leggins are 100% pants! It really just depends on if your butt is covered. Sometimes I wear them at home without a covered butt, but never ever in public.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am in love with those leggings!
I'm with you there! I wear leggings a lot at home, they are so comfy!
DeleteI also only wear leggings when my top covers my bum! Makes me feel more comfortable! Cute leggings!

Agreed! It's all about your own comfort level.
Deletelove your fishtail braid! i'm a big fan of leggings, but like you said, i always make sure that my bum is covered. fleece-lined leggings are my favorite in the wintertime.

Thanks! I think fishtails are so cute, but I rarely do them since my hair is so layer-y and there's all these pieces falling out of the braid. Ohhh and I love fleece lined leggings! I need to get some for winter for sure!
DeleteI've been loving printed leggings lately. I think your shirt is the perfect length to not get called on the whole "leggings aren't pants" thing. Love your braid too!
ReplyDeletei love your leggings here! i also love your fishtail braid here, my hair is just about long enough to do one for myself now after having a pixie cut for years!

I totally agree- leggings are totally acceptable- when worn correctly. :) Love this oversized sweater!!
ReplyDeleteAre leggings pants... the ultimate debate. I'm not here to try to convince everyone of my opinion, but I do think that leggings and pants are one and the same. While it is about your comfort level, I think that as long as your leggings aren't see-through, they are totally acceptable as pants. Leggings are my everyday attire, long shirt or not.
ReplyDeleteBut I promise you will never find me wearing leggings with Uggs! (or uggs at all.) Don't worry.
Oh Kelsey, I just miss you! And I agree, I think it just depends on what you're comfortable with! Leggings are really the best.
