Tight leggings when pushed up the leg.

I imagine it could potentially restrict the circulation of the wearer and, depending on their state of health, might be dangerous. Not something I'd ever do to be honest, got enough problems without inviting more.

I wear compression socks for varicose veins and am aware that it can be bad if they are too tight.

So ,when I see someone else pull up their tight leggins to just below the knee (for the sake of browning the legs ,I assume) I point out to them that this could be inadvisable.

I have said this a few times and my advice has been disregarded.

Do I have a point and does this
artificially extreme tightness of the leggings below the knee(they are folded and pulled up very tightly for perhaps an hour at a time) actually pose a risk?

My immediate worry is whether they would actually cause varicose veins but that is probably unlikely.

Can they be doing harm all the same?
