By now, I’m sure everyone has noticed that girls of all ages are wearing leggings or yoga pants everywhere they go. They get worn to the gym, to the grocery store, around the house, to work, and of course yoga classes. They’re too comfortable not to wear!
However, let’s take a minute to understand that all women can wear leggings and yoga pants.
I often hear the comment being made that some women shouldn’t wear leggings or yoga pants outside of their house. I’m sorry, but that is the absolute most ridiculous comment I have ever heard. Let me tell you why.
First of all, what someone is wearing on their own body, does NOT affect you in any way. Also, simply because a women doesn’t look like a Victoria’s Secret model in leggings or yoga pants, doesn’t mean they can’t wear them. In case you haven’t caught on yet, they make leggings and yoga pants for every shape and size. Therefore, every women on this planet can wear the leggings they please. However, I can agree that it is inappropriate to wear them to some places like work, a wedding, a nice dinner, etc.
I also want to explain why a lot of women these days only wear leggings or yoga pants. While yes they are much more comfortable than jeans, some need to understand that its the only clothing they feel comfortable in and that could be for a number of reasons. Mothers who are always on the run tend to wear leggings or yoga pants. They don’t worry about what they’re wearing because they’re worrying about their kids, not themselves(which is a great thing). Some women have an issue with weight stability, they’re always fluctuating between sizes and can never find a good, solid pair of jeans they feel good in. And isn’t that what most designers are trying to emphasize now? Being comfortable and feeling good in what you’re in and, ultimately, yourself? Isn’t that what this generation has been made about? They resort to leggings because it makes them feel good about what they’re wearing and themselves.
So the next time you see a woman walking down the street, strutting in leggings, don’t judge them. Just keep walking and pay no mind to what they’re wearing. It has no affect on you what they’re wearing and they shouldn’t be judged because of their choice of clothing.
