for whatever reason, leggings as pants have been getting a lot of bad press lately. i'm not sure why...this trend has been around for years now. i can speak for everyone born in the 80s that we lived in leggings as pants 24/7 and so did our moms. leggings with a chambray shirt anyone? that was like my mom's uniform when i was a kid.
here's my quick take:
we are all trying to squeeze into the skinniest skinny jeans we can find anyways, so why not be comfortable while being stylish and just wear leggings? to me, the main difference is just that skinny jeans have pockets and leggings don't so they show just a tad more curvature. i think leggings create an even sleeker look than skinny jeans because they don't bunch up around the knee and you don't have to put them in the dryer before every wear to tighten them up. take the photos of audrey hepburn above. doesn't she look lovely? if you've seen funny face then you know that iconic scene where she is dancing in that outfit and being amazing. i've always loved that outfit. and i think its a good representation of how pretty and chic leggings as pants [WITHOUT wearing a shirt that covers your bum. GASP!] can be.
they can be worn so many ways. dressy, sexy, casual, trendy, sporty. the possibilities are endless, really.
