I did something yesterday I swore I would never do...

... in a fit of frustration, I bought a pair of leggings. Now, I remember wearing these circa '89/'90 and I said I would never do it again.

Except... you know, after putting them on yesterday to see what they looked like, I felt like I was supposed to be doing mime.

Do you have leggings? What do you wear with them?

Re: I did something yesterday I swore I would never do...

  • I love my leggings. They are uber comfy in the winter time to just throw on a huge sweater and curl up on the couch. I can't really wear them out, though. If I do, they're usually under a skirt with tall boots on.

  • I see so many people wear them with cute sweater dresses or other dresses and skirts. I would love to try them, but I never feel like I look as cute as those girls I see walking down the street. A friend of mine wears them with her dresses all the time and it looks so cute.

  • I want to get some leggings, but like you kaesha, have no idea how to wear them.  I feel like they're supposed to be some sort of maternity staple.

  • I wear them under the few Tunics I own as well as shorter skirts and dresses. I also put on a big baggy sweater, that at some point belonged to my husband, and just lie around the house.
  • I have one pair in black and I love to wear it with something similar to  this:

  • I only have a pair of corduroy ones from Hue. They are the only kind I like. The other kinds make me feel like I'm wearing tights without a skirt. Since these are thicker I feel like I'm wearing pants. I have them in back and wear them all the time when it's cooler out.

  • I wear them a lot. Always under tunics and/or long sweaters, and only with knee boots.  The ones I wear are nice and thick (Lululemon Wunderunders if anyone is interested) so I never feel overexposed or anything.

  • If I was skinnier, I would totally rock them with a tunic and/or long sweater.  Unfortunately, I don't think the world wants to be exposed to me in leggings. Big Smile  Maybe they will still be "in" by the time all this weight is off, but at this rate it's doubtful.

    It this pregnancy sticks, I forsee wearing them fequently with boots and tunics/long sweaters to work... right now, I'm not a fan of them in the office (even though we have a causal dress code)...

    Heh... I think I missed that memo.

    I think it's 'cause you were KU in the warm months.  I feel like they're a good colder weather solution.

    Now, I also feel that if I had leggings I'd HAVE to have a pair of riding boots, and then wear them the way Erinn said.

  • I love leggings, but only with a tunic/dress/long shirt - no exposed crotch!  sorry, that totally weirds me out

    I kinda feel like Kats. Though I was super skinny last time they were in fashion and I still couldn't do it.

  • I love them.  I wear them almost every weekend with long tanks/shirts.  I think they are so incredibly comfy.
  • I bought a pair shopping with friends at the end of the summer, but like you I am still skeptical and have yet to wear them.  I forsee wearing them with a dress and boots or flats...maybe.

  • I don't own any but if I did, I would only wear them under a dress.

  • Yeah... I'm constantly telling kids that leggings aren't pants... so I'm big on coverage.

    I think I'm going to post a tunic that I have and ask your opinions! I've had this thing for 5 years, and it looks terrible with pants. When I bought it they told me to wear it with leggings and I laughed at them.
