Leggings!

Hazel, the problem of shirts with leggings is shirts stick out and the little legs hang down underneath them. Would you agree?

Even some young slim girls are not very toned and their bottom and thighs wobble under the leggings as they walk. I definitely prefer a top that covers bum and upper thighs on most people.

I sometimes wear leggings with long tops/tunic tops but NEVER a t shirt. I don't think they look nice at all even on the younger generation.

Some fast women have magnificent legs and can wear decent quality leggings . Some fat women even have curvy torsos and look fine in small tops, Some thin women look pathetic in tight fitting clothes .So much depends on if your muscles are toned or not.

....ooops...thats ‘wear them’...you wouldn’t want to eat them would you!?

I’m neatly 70 and wear good fitting leggings with tunic top or long shirt. I’ve a small bum so like to hide it! Eat them 3/4 length with flat pumps...great look!

I feel the same I have leggings am a size 20 but make sure my top covers my bum.
Also find it annoying when girls wear mini skirts/dresses but have to keep pulling them down as they walk along

It amazes me to see some of the things people wear when they go out.
Surely they have someone to be honest and tell them how bad they look.
If fashion doesn’t suit you don’t wear it.
Some larger people manage to look great .

As a size 16 woman, I don’t find this body shaming at all. Leggings look awful on most women unless they are thick exercise ones OR the wearer has slim legs. If you are wearing a long top then fine, if you must. I work in an office where some women wear thin leggings and tops just covering their bottom and most look dreadful. Pyjamas would be better in fact

I dont think its body shaming . Its fashion shaming. Some things suit some people and not others.
There are lots of things which I look awful in since I gained weight so I try to choose my clothes more carefully.
Leggings or Jeggins look great on most people if they are wearing a long top covering their bum but otherwise I dont understand why women would want to people to see the outline of their bits.
Lets face it , if men wore them we would have a good laugh wouldnt we .

RomyP A long top and dark leggings will cost the same as a short top and light coloured leggings.
Why comment? Because I find it embarrassing when I see women in such revealing leggings/shorts.
If men wore skimpy shorts that revealed so much or walked around in ballet tights I would comment. I'm sure many people commented on the male fashion of trousers hanging down to their knees with boxers on show.

Legging/Jeggings are a sloppy way of dressing, letting it all hang out whilst kidding yourself at the same time that you ain't put THAT much weight on.

I understand people who are commenting we shouldn't be so critical of others. But this is not a criticism of people's dress sense or tastes. I agree people are entitled to dress as they like. But this is more of a decency issue. And hygiene too. I wouldnt like to sit on a cafe chair after a large lady wearing next to nothing on her lower half.

Leggings are ideal for any shape of person because of there comfort . If you are a larger lady , like myself , then a longer flowing top is always better . They can be dressed up or dressed down . The rule of thumb is always keep your bottom covered .

They are soooooo comfy tho!!

Any clothes are fine for any size..its nothing to do with anyone else but us what we wear.

Maybe these ladies are buying the clothes they can afford while I myself wouldn’t wear thin leggings not everyone can afford more substantial leggings . Personally I don’t fat shame anyone. Why does it bother you anyway? Live n let live

63 and only just started to wear leggings, I love them, but I alwayas wear with a top that covers my bum

Pink leggings are a big no no. You will look naked. Leggings with a long top are fine for any size.

I don’t like the feel of them on my legs, and I have bought various types. My daughter looks fab in them, she is 5’7”I am only 5’2”and look ridiculous mainly due to my short legs.

Leggings are the mainstay of my wardrobe from September to May if I'm not wearing skinny leg jeans but I'll only wear them with tunics or long jumpers. Beige or pink leggings on a woman of any age look like a walking Biology lesson, so embarrassing to see, even on the slimmest woman. I am wondering if I'll still be wearing leggings when I'm 80, lol, I love them so much for comfort and because I don't always need to sit like a lady when with my grandchildren. I have thick quality ones for going out in but am happy to wear thinner ones around the house. I'd never wear them with a short top though, that would just look dreadful but I'm lucky cos I can afford to choose what I wear, not everybody is that lucky so I suppose we should be a bit more understanding of others who do wear natural coloured leggings with short tops. Maybe they don't have anything else they can wear even though they detest them too, which is really very sad.

No M0nica,you dont have to like it,but you dont have to comment on it either! Or you,kupari45,or anyone else putting these women down.i am size 16 due to not knowing i had an underactive thyroid problem,some of these 'bigger' ladies may have same,or other reasons they're overweight.but its not for us to comment, or about their choice in clothes.just same as we shouldn't if you ladies wore laura ashley prints,or chintzy patterns,or 'old granny knickers' etc.(see how it sounds now?)

I agree Blondiescot, personal taste plays a part and also, never hear as many judgemental comments about men and their appearance and clothes choices.

Firstly let me say i am over 60 and the size of a small hippo and i wear leggings with long tops.... i like the leggings, they are comfy and i wear the long tops because i like them as well....but....if i wanted to wear short tops, no top, half leggings or whatever i or anyone else should be able to without fearing disdain from anyone else. I spent most of my life listening to nay sayers and being afraid to wear the things I liked until one day my husband said “ sweety you are 6o years old, wear what you darn well please” . I guess what im saying is if these people are happy with how they look...good on them

Yes it is not at flattering at all, killing any idea that women wear clothes to attract a mate
