Random Post : The Perplexity of LEGGINGS

Leggings – I find these to be the most perplexing clothing item of all. I simply can’t get why some women are so attached to them. 

I can understand wearing them at home to lounge around in, I can understand wearing them under tunics. I can totally understand wearing them to a dance class but I can’t for the life of me understand how this can happen . So lets look at this scenario – a woman applies full makeup, blow dries her hair, wears interesting jewellery, a great pair of shoes, an expensive handbag, a lovely short top and jacket and then finishes with black cotton-type, almost transparent leggings.

I’m not even talking about leather or patterned leggings, I’m talking about a pair of plain cotton-style leggings. How does that happen ? How does one make the decision to pair something so cheap and unflattering with an outfit that’s otherwise perfect. In my opinion, there isn’t even a question as to whether they suit the person – yes some people have toned bums and legs that can possibly stand being clad in something that fitted and obvious – but the ugliness of these leggings still remains. ‘ also the often-forgotten fact that leggings look even more horrible and become semi transparent if a photo with flash is taken of them.

I know not everyone cares or has an interest in fashion and I accept that. This is why I find leggings worn as pants easier to accept when combined with a head-to-toe ‘ugly’ outfit but on fashionable women – I’m just entirely baffled.

Opinions Anyone ?
