From a style standpoint, no. From a purely libidinous standpoint, hell yes.

bassie

great a$$ but given that .05% of the popualtion has that body, they never look as good from the front and there is no actual outfit built around those skintight, man-made materials gold lame pants, it's still a strong nay in my books!

American Apparel can eat a bowl of dickz.

I'm not mad at leggings in general, though...at all.

Women in NYC have decided in unison that leggings now qualify as pants.

I applaud their decision, and disagree that a slightly misshapen posterior makes this trend a bad thing.

Any look can be pulled off with style. But when something becomes trendy, you get a lot of girls tryin' shit that does not fit their personality or body type and, then, it seems like there's a pandemic of bad looks.

I have seen quite a variety of shapes that appear even better wrapped in a pair of shimmery leggings.

It's not really the back view that I find off-putting, no matter the shape of the bottom lol.

They are definitely geared to the straight[/b] male eye.

edit - fixed!

Jonny_Paycheck

I agree. And I appreciate their concern.

My wife took this picture of these leggings that are painted to look like jeans in downtown El Paso.

Is the tag still on that shit? Regardless, the t-shirt/legging combo is truly next level.

Edit: I just realized you were standing behind a half mannequin.

Yes, they were for sale and being shown on a sidewalk.

give it a year and every shorty will be rockin some H&M/Dr.Jays knockoff versions.

I have yet to see then in the hood, but once they do, like Uggs, im gonna see some cheap fabric versions.

On the wrong gurr (which is virtually everyone), that's one of the NAGLiest NAGLs since NAGL came to NAGLtown.

Uggs were never a good look.

yea just try not to imagine the shape, sans-legging.

great shoes, great purse, great legs. this actually demonstrates my other problem with them; take a perfectly good look, throw in a pair of leggings, and suddenly it looks a little on the cheap side*, you know? The fit and the material is just really hard to keep on the quality side of style.

*Disclaimer - I dress in jeans, hightops and a tshirt most days, so I am in no way trying to claim upper crust dressing. Speaking strictly as an observer.

The "Cheap" look is the GOAL!!!! Quasi-Sleazy!!!!!!!

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things"
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines"
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away

I am not mad at leggings. However, a lady have to be slightly tall and not too chunky to look good or else she ends up looking dumpy.
I am used to my wife wearing these when she goes to yoga or ballet or the gym and she wears them occasionally in the field. Looks cute.
