Ugh another woman wearing leggings as pants today.

[cardiganagain]

Her butt is showing. Her sweater is not long enough to cover her entire behind. She is a petite on the butt chart. She is a temp. I just don't get it.

Even appropriate confused me knew that leggings as pants isn't acceptable if your butt is showing.

I have a co-irker who does this frequently. I don't think she gets it.

Why do people so care so much? It is a good thing you dress well and I m sure your coworkers never talk about your clothes?!?!

[cardiganagain]

It bothers me because I work in an office. Leggings that show off every shape of your bottom is not acceptable. What if you wore tights as pants. That would be obviously unacceptable. I consider leggings and tights to be very close in relation.

[ralphlauren]

If I recall correctly you wore clothing that was way too tight and revealing, no??

Yes I did. I will admit that. But even then I knew that I shouldn't wear leggings as pants.

I agree a lot of my clothing was to tight, but it still was worn correctly. Just gut sucking tightly correct.

I know, pot meet kettle.

Can someone please explain to this fashion challenged person?

I understand why wearing leggings with a short shirt is bad fashion. But how is wearing leggings with any shirt considered bad? I see a lot of "You can't wear leggings as pants" in posts but then people will say that wearing leggings with a tunic or any long shirt is okay. Isn't that still wearing legging as pants?

If you can't wear leggings as pants then how are you supposed to wear them? With a dress? I'm talking the thick leggings now, not tights. I can't imagine wearing leggings as anything BUT pants. I always wear mine with a tunic, a long sweater or shirt long enough to go past my but. This is wrong?

If you have a tight body, you can get away with more than others can, but generally your butt cheeks and camel toe should be covered. The way you describe you're wearing them is correct.

Stop trying to make the "butt chart" happen.

:Y: Your butt cheek shape and/or camel toe should not be visible in your silhouette.

I always cover my butt. Always. But then shouldn't people say that wearing leggings with short shirts is a no-no. Not, wearing leggings as pants is a no-no. Because again, I don't know how else to wear my leggings other than as pants. Wearing tights as pants is obviously bad, lol. But leggings are pants in my world. Very comfy pants.

I think when people say "leggings as pants" they mean the short shirt thing. That's what I mean when I say that, anyway.

Like you, I wear mine with a tunic, sweater dress, etc. We're doing it right! ;D

Your butt cheek shape and/or camel toe should not be visible in your silhouette.

Your butt cheek silhouette will probably still be visible unless you're wearing a potato sack. Please continue to give more advice, Evee.

I can't believe I am saying it but I agree leggings as pants to work is completely unacceptable in almost any office situation I can imagine. Our new receptionist does this and really it isn't that bad because her ass has always been covered but just barely. It drives me nuts too because it just looks so unprofessional.

I am just going to throw this in here because I need to confess it. I wore leggings as pants to walmart over the weekend to run some errands. I am now scared I am going to end up on People of Walmart. :-|

Leggings as pants= my 55 you MIL wearing tight ass, camel-toe bearing leggings with a shirt that hit at the top of the legging's waistband

If you're wearing them correctly your butt silhouette shouldn't show.

You obviously don't know what the word silhouette means.

okay I feel better. To me wearing them with a tunic is still wearing them as pants. I look at it this way, can you substitute panty hose or tights for your leggings? If no, then you are wearing them as pants.
I have a lot of tunics and long sweaters that I only wear with leggings but I'd never wear them with tights. They are long but they aren't THAT long. They require some type of pants.

anyway, I feel better. I've been meaning to ask this when the leggings as pants comment comes up.

I wore sweater leggings before with a shirt and they looked fine and I pulled it off.

Before that, I tried on some different leggings, my husband looked at me and said "Do you know I can see your butt through them"? So I wore something different lol.

I think it depends on the thickness of them as well.

IMO it's just in poor taste to wear leggings as pants. I'm not against leggings for under a dress or even a long tunic. But if you are wearing a sweater that doesn't cover your entire bottom and pairing it with a pair of leggings which you are using as pants then it is inappropriate for work.
