Admittedly, all I wore was leggings back in 1992. They were super comfortable and I could go straight to gymnastics practice afterward without a wardrobe change. It was kind of cool to be hanging out in a baggy sweatshirt and the equivalent of pajama pants all day. But that was 1992.
Leggings coming “back into style” has created all sorts of issues. First off, this is not style. Secondly, the “style” is to wear them with a longer and loose fitting garment. And these loose garments are supposed to COVER YOUR ASS. When your ass is not covered, you end up with this:

Okay so I can see her underpants and I know if and when she may be crowning and it’s time to take the brown babies to the pool. But there is an even worse offense when you buy the wrong size/type of underwear, as seen here:

Thos granny panties look uncomfortable from here. And since I am 20 feet away, I can’t imagine what they might look like up close. Or even worse, feel like. We have made several advances in underwear technology ince 1992, yet some people still are not taking advantage.
Then there is the issue of women confusing “tights” with “leggings.” Now there are several similarities. They are well-fitted items which are meant to be worn with looser garments on top again, to reiterate, WHICH COVER YOUR ASS. However tights are more sheer. They are not meant to be worn as the sole garment below the waist. Now if you can’t read the packaging and you mistake “leggings” for “tights, you end up with this sort of mess:

It’s not 1992 anymore, so people have decided they need a new take on leggings. Like lots and lots of stupid slits that looks like that time when you were 5 years old that you discovered the genius combination of safety scissors and a sheet of paper folded in half. “If I cut along the crease it makes magic!” Now maybe a 5 year old had designed these I would cut her more slack. But I have a feeling this lady paid $20 for 45 windows to her cellulite and that’s just not cool.

Is this better than asswriting and asscracks? Is it better than visible thongs? I suppose only time will tell. Sigh.
