What's with non-runner's hate for leggings/yoga pants? (Read 100 times)

    No one here was laughing at them, I think. It's just that I know a lot of people around me who do. I don't like it. I also think they should wear whatever the heck they want. Otherwise, if we start deciding who can wear what, next thing I know is someone will tell me I'm too old for mini-skirts.

      I agree, but FFS don't wear pajamas to my office, red ones at that.  I think I still have the picture of my coworker doing that.

        Damaris, I completely agree with wearing appropriate work clothes. And I'm very traditional when it comes to wearing "nice" clothes when one goes out to an official function, or evening.

          I didn't mean you, just general you.  You are always well dressed.  but seriously, some people go to court on their way to the club or something.  men included.

            I didn't think you were talking about me.  I know you have some weird dressers at work. Pyjamas outside of the house are STUPID. There. I admit it.

              And folks wearing stretch clothes that are small enough to have been stretched to capacity, somewhat translucent with parts squeezed out like a sausage are wearing something that's they shouldn't.

               

              Now notice I didn't state fat as it could just be clothes that are too small for their body size.

               

              The same as bras being too small with boobs gushing out like microwaved marshmallows or men who sport moose knuckles.

                Coincidentally this photo was posted in another forum discussion today about pants as a response to refute a claim that stated "cargo pants > yoga pants".

                  Thank you.  People of all sizes can wear what they want (age appropriateness aside), but it should be THEIR SIZE.  Squeezing yourself into a size X and not having the seams spontaneously explode doesn't mean that you actually ARE a size X.

                   

                  Besides… isn't it uncomfortable to wear something three sizes too small??

                      I am sure she was uncomfortable here:

                        It's funny because I am sure she would have looked much better with something more her size.

                         

                        And I'm not criticizing her for being overweight or whatever.  Just for having no sense of fashion (or propriety).

                          And this is when I hate the internet... If you go looking for things, you find yourself at the circus, watching the freak show.
