Crimes of Fashion
Why won't leggings die? Is there something intrinsic in women that kicks in at a certain point in life saying "It is time...you must replace all previously fashionable attire with leggings and oversized blouses-preferably depicting fruit."
Overweight women seem to think that shoehorning themselves into something akin to a sausage casing is a fabulous way to look more svelte...seemingly oblivious to the hideousness of the result. I found leggings marketed for just this use. Now-while this might be a good thing to wear UNDER your pants, they do not adequately take the place of pants...no matter how kicky you feel the design may be.
The same goes for other women. Leggings are. Not. pants.
Ick,
