Do you cover the crotch/bum area? I always cover mine. I see this look when out and about a and i can't figure out what to make of it. I guess it's because there's no fly or anything on the leggings or pockets on your butt. What's do you guys think?
If I'm just at home, then no, I just wear them as pants with any shirt. If I'm going out in public, I wear a tunic like shirt that goes down enough to cover my butt.

Yes, the crotch and bum are ALWAYS well covered if I wear leggings, which is why I rarely wear them...I can never seem to find things long enough. I did have a co-worker who wore leggings with regular length tops. It was really unfortunate.
What Cara said. ALTHOUGH my leggings are missing and this board has convinced me that leggings are bad so I've refused to buy new ones? I only have a grey pair that are way too big and baggy and can't be worn out. So, I wouldn't be totally lame if I went and bought a new pair?

Definitely not! Forever 21 has good ones, they're cheap too!
Eav do you have a Marshall's around? During pregnancy I discovered the seamless leggings there. They are amazing...and $4.99!!! They don't stretch out or fade since they are nylon and spandex!

Who convinced you leggings are bad?!? Leggings are great as long as the bits are covered, IMO.

See, I swear when we were on TB that everyone on our board bashed leggings hard so I felt all and stopped wearing them.
I've lived in leggings for the past year. I refused to buy bigger jeans. I was only able to fit in my pre-prego jeans within the last 2 weeks.

I hate winter for the jeans issue. I love jeans but only when they fit. Summer is much better for post-partum IMO. You can hide under loose dresses. But anyway, I HIGHLY doubt you were chunky, Lola!!
Also I wear leggings like everyday and love the ones from target.
And a tip for finding shirts that are long enough- I had a couple black stretchy tube tops that I cut in half years ago. I just put one on under whatever shirt I am wearing, it goes up to right under the belly button and right passed the crotch, (kind of looks like those belly bands for over your jeans during pregnancy) and just looks like another layer. My shirt usually stops about a couple inches before it, so it doesn't look dumb. You could probably cut any kind of stretchy material shirt in half, like a tight fitting tank top, and it work just the same!

Same here. I tend to buy looser style tops in a size or two up so they'll be longer. I have a TON of longer layering tanks in case a top I want to wear isn't long enough- just slip one of said tanks on underneath and I'm good to go. I wear leggings 95% of the time in the winter so I have it down to a science.

I dressed as Slash for my friend's NYE party and wore my black jogging tights to give the allure of leather pants. I felt like a total slut. My husband said that without the top hat, the costume was more like the beginning of Pretty Woman.
I usually don't wear leggings out in public, but when I do, I cover up my ass as much as possible. The only exception to this rule is when I'm wearing jogging tights/leggings. I only wear them before/after an actual workout, not to Starbucks to make it look like I work out. I don't think they look as offensive as leggings, and all the Judgey McTwatwaffles can suck it because I sweated enough to earn those pants. Also, I have zero body issues and don't really care what other people thing.
Also, if I EVER see a girl wearing leggings as pants with full butt undies on, I reserve the right to punch them in the vagina. If you're going to expose your ass to the world, at least wear a thong. That goes for all of you ladies too. I will seriously reach through my computer screen and punch your vagina.
My students most certainly do not have their butts covered BUT I really wish they did. I see so many tushy outlines it is unbelievable.
Lol at tushy outlines!
I wear leggings alllll the time, I found these types at Modell's that are super slimming (read: they have a high tummy panel) and I live in them. I feel much better about the way I look in them than in jeans. I ALWAYS cover my crotch, even if that means wearing my Bella Band, but I like the idea of the long white tanks, Lola, I'm go and get some.
