old fashioned now? It was just after i saw a response to someone on here and thought really? I still wear my leggings from time to time with a long top but i do wear less. Kind of tired of that look but it is comfy. I do tend to wear what i like but i was just wondering if leggings were out now!

I think it looks a bit 'tired' at this stage. I remember being out a couple of years ago and noticing that every second woman pushing a pram was wearing leggings, tunic, boots and a scarf.

On the other hand, if you like it and it's comfortable, wear it!

I agree, it does look tired. I will wear legging though when the winter comes in. However i would wear a dress, leggings and boots as im not fussed by a tunic. I have quite a lot of short dresses and leggings are great because at 46 i dont like looking like mutton!!

I never bought into the leggings and tunic look, being a diehard jeans n tshirt girl, but having acquired an ileostomy bag recently I'm a (very late) convert! Just the thing to hold it all together but cover it up.

oh and when i say short dresses i mean well above the knee that i would be to conscious to wear with tights. Leggings give me licence to wear shorter things....like a skirt at 18 inches [ i am 5ft 5 ]

They are the clothes you wear to put weight on in. Plus to look like you've given up

When one tires of a waistband one tires of life

I hate the look tbh; always did. And leggings in hot weather look even worse.

I think it is a bit of a tired look now. Obviously it doesn't matter if that is what you like to wear.
Lol at GretchenJohnson!

Well I'm pregnant at the moment and sick of being uncomfortable so if I have an opportunity to wear leggings I'm taking it.
