Leggings

in North Florida Nesties
CW is wearing leggings and a sweater today. Her ass is not covered. This is like a sweater you would wear with dress pants. It ends right after the waist. Call me an old lady, but I don't think this is work appropriate.

    No it's not and definitely not for where you work.

    It's not.

    Y'all... the ladies in Europe totally wear leggins as pants. Not a fan.

    Not work appropriate. Leggings are specifically listed on the "do not wear" list for my company's dress code.

    Skinny girls can wear leggings as pants, but I don't think they do anything for bigger girls.

    Agreed. I bought a pair of leggings at Target when they were $5. I planned to wear them under skirts or dresses when it gets cooler but I'm not sure I can pull it off. As I've said before, just because they make it in a person's size doesn't mean that person should wear it.

    If I were skinny I would totally wear leggings as pants. But not to work.

    What the? Who does that? Aside from not being appropriate, does it look ridiculous? It seems so very 80's to me. I know that leggings are back....but I didn't realize they were back in that way. I think this is fine (not for work)

    But a sweater that ends at her waist? No.

    I like leggings under a long sweater or tunic or something but I definitely don't think leggings as pants are appropriate for work, or even in general. By leggings as pants I mean wearing them with a waist length shirt. Anything else to me is wearing them like tights.

    My rule for leggings, work or not, is that whatever shirt/dress I am wearing has to completely cover my ass, preferably a couple inches lower. My work is casual so I wear them like this fairly often.

    Ass covered = Fine, in my book...

    Leggings as pants is not okay, I don't care what size you are. Definitely not appropriate for work.

    I don't think it is appropriate for work.. I'd only wear leggings with something covering my bum.

    Yeah, I actually really like this look. I thought this particular outfit would be a bit flashy for work, but I'm ok w/leggings in general at work if the butt is covered.

    I don't think even skinny girls should wear them without something over the buttock region. Unless you're pre-pubescent, just no.

    This is the length of her shirt. I think the picture above is fine with leggings, not where I work though.
