Leggings
Now, I am not going to lie. I own leggings. I actually spent a couple years on a search for leggings to wear in place of stockings or tights during the cold months so that I would not have to retire my skirts for winter each year. However, I was always unsuccessful in finding them until a couple years ago they became some sort of fashion trend.
Here’s the problem: why are girls wearing these with miniskirts and sundresses in 90 degree July weather? This is not cute and moreover this is not practical. It’s goddamn a million degrees out in the beating sun and I know you want to impress the boy in the girls jeans with the eyeliner and the shotgun haircut, but I really hope those capri-length leggings with a lace-trimmed bottom don’t do the trick when they are soaked with sweat because you’ve opted to wear them in August. A good question to ask yourself may be “Would I wear tights today?” If the answer is no, then leggings are probably that much worse an idea.
While I am on the topic of this specific clothing article, I will also say that wearing them as pants, especially when they are one of those rare pairs that is composed of enough lycra to show ever minor detail, is unnecessary. I think I speak for everyone when I say that no one wants to see your cooter. Put on a real pair of pants or find some other way to cover up your genitals because if I can see the outline of them I can pretty much guarantee that you’ve ruined my day and the days of most people you’ve encountered. As a matter of fact, I am angry just thinking about it.
I would have thought this would have ended by now, but clearly it’s a lasting trend like red and black scene hair. It’s no coincidence the same people are guilty of these offenses.
