Public Service Announcement – Leggings

Leggings are not pants

Leggings are not a substitute for pants. Please stop taking your fashion advice from Lindsay Lohan and start thinking for yourself.

Before you leave the house look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself these questions:

  • Am I wearing leggings?
  • Are my “pants” really tight, thin and stretchy?
  • Do my “pants” accentuate my crotch?

If you answered no to all of those questions you have reached the end of the questionnaire.
Feel free to leave the house and be seen in public.

If you answered yes to any of those questions continue with these:

  • Am I wearing a large/long top that covers my ass and crotch?
  • Am I wearing a skirt/dress/shorts/pants?
  • Am I leaving the house in order to go running or go to the gym only?

If you answered yes to any of these questions you have reached the end of the questionnaire.
Feel free to leave the house and be seen in public.

If you answered no to all of those questions please go back to bed and try dressing yourself again when you have had some rest.

    Ok, guilty as charged.

    I wore leggings as pants during the Superbowl. You got me. I was tired, just finished up yoga and headed to a mate’s place for a beer.

    I solemly swear to stop hanging out in my gym clothes and to get more sleep (and/or fashion sense).

    Sincerely,

    Tash

    Tash, we wont send you to fashion police jail just yet. So long as you did not go out to town in your leggings.
    Yoga and drinking beer in the privacy of your mates house is a valid reason for leggings.
