A Brief Note On... Leggings

I always thought that:

1.) Tights are not pants, they should not be worn with short tops.

Most of the time you can still see through them to a degree, so they are best paired with a dress or mini... not a T-shirt.

Last fall I was shopping for shoes and the girl who was helping me had on tights with a t shirt, I could see her underwear right through... it was very awkward.

2.) Leggings are technically pants but probably should not be worn with short tops either.

The legging style is great, but the top you wear should cover your derriere. This morning, I saw a girl on 8th avenue with holes in her leggings right on the bum! If she had on a long sweater (perhaps cinced at the waist with a belt) this could have been avoided.

As my friend Emilie pointed out to me, short tops with leggings are okay if you are under the age of five. I will agree with that.

So, to all women over the age of five, lets do our best not to abuse these leggings trends.
