tight black leggings and big foofy boots

this is a bad look. it does not make you look aprés ski, it just makes you look like you forgot your pants

also do not cheap out and wear actual tights instead of leggings, because nobody but you is convinced

i have seen too many butt cracks and/or underwear through these tights/pants this winter.

do these people not have a full length mirror?
do they not realize that the material is stretched thinner across their back side?

nagl.

uggs!

one of my good friends is wearing leggings that stretch too thin on her butt, making them transparent.
i don't know how to tell her.

ugh, it is bad in the middle school

Those aren't even foofy boots, but the offense is compounded by the shortness of that shirt. So as not to induce voluntary blindness in onlookers, whatever you wear over top of leggings should at least cover your crotch.

i couldn't find a lot of photos of this.
even though i know they are out there
but i didn't look very hard

i know those aren't boots, but i took the opp to just hate on these see through leggings. ugh.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pXSWwebgpgM/TLhmZZo3ADI/AAAAAAAAABs/eflBXSlKtrY/s320/DSCN0756.JPG

seriously one of the fundamental tenets of leggings-wearing is that the top must cover butt/crotch
when did this injunction get...lifted?

Even my UGG loving self cannot vouch for this.

love this look

Like the look with long swearers and boots, but not big foofy ones.

uh, sweaters, swearers are only sometimes hot

or big furry boots too. and yeah, a poofy sweater. but not long. want to see some shiny ass.

I do also enjoy the shiny ass.

i think there is something impious about having any kind of problem with women walking around in public without pants on.

but that's my reptilian male brain speaking

Judging from this thread, 2012+ may reacquire style.

See, I like this fine if it's leggings + UGGS plus a tunic or a minidress or even a moderately baggy sweater or something. But without something long on top, it reminds me of something maybe the high school dance team would wear.

Or ::shudder:: a middle-schooler trying to pull off this look with a pair of Target tights, a hoody, and off-brand slippers.

I work with a woman who is a regular and repeat offender of wearing stretched out/insufficiently opaque leggings with shirts that do not cover her hips. She also wears regular old underwear under these items so sometimes you can see panty lines or sometimes you can see actual patterns. This isn't about being on trend or whatever, though. This is just about her personal choices.

I first noticed the worn out/stretched too thin leggings thing a couple months ago on a girl in a salon. I could see her ass, thong, EVERYTHING. I was embarassed for her and sat there for about 20 mins trying to think if there was any way I could tactfully point this out because in the sun it was p much obscene. I decided there wasn't. :(

I bit the bullet and told a coworker (at a different job - waiting tables at a so-called casual fine dining establishment) that she had a pretty big tear on the seam on the ass of her pants and she was like, "Yeah, I know I keep meaning to fix that."

i wonder how it got there

LOL just noticed that the gurl in front of me in the bus is doing the leggings, foofy boots, croppped sweater thing. The one thing saving her (a bit) us that said leggings seem to be made of scuba suite-like material (?) And are therefore v opaque.

Ugh typos dumb phone.

Can we introduce jeggings to this thread? I am unsure how I feel about them, but I HATE the word jeggings. As much as grellow, even.

The word sucks, yeah. Last week I saw "treggings" used which I guess was supposed to be trouser leggings. :/

redundant, surely

Is there a difference between pajama jeans and jeggings?

they sound like medieval torture devices.

He is proud, near peert as a pye
let hym be jeggyng'd
tyl his prydful ways dye

Grellow is a terrible word.

Jeggings are tighter with a very narrow leg opening--cut like leggings, styled like jeans in denim-looking fabric--whereas pajama jeans are cut like jeans but made of cotton/poly/spandex and thus stretchy and soft.

I have a pair of Levis that are made of pajama jeans-esque material and srsly they are A+++.

Really? I like the way jeans look, but my wife likes comfortable clothing. Those Levis sound like they might be a good compromise. Is there a specific style or model number or whatever?

Saw a girl (late teens or early twenties) rocking this look at the weekend and her leggings were on INSIDE-OUT so you could see the label as well as her bum.

Really? I like the way jeans look, but my wife likes comfortable clothing. Those Levis sound like they might be a good compromise. Is there a specific style or model number or whatever?

They are called 512 (tm) Perfectly Slimming (for straight sizes) or Shaping (for plus sizes) and they come in various colors and leg widths.

NYDJ sells good looking pajama jeans (their jeggings are crazy soft) but they are also $$$$.

Eh, maybe just $$$.

Just pull however many $ out of this:

Thanks, Jenny!

The thicker and more opaque leggings get, the less I hate them. I remember some years ago, though, maybe it was before the leggings "comeback"? When there weren't a lot of versions on the market yet so the young fashion things were wearing tights. As pants. This is probably where my real disdain for the whole thing comes from. And now thanks to the lazy and unobservant people described in this thread, we're right back where we started.

I don't know, some of the college girls I see near my office building put way too much effort into the rest of their clothes and accessories to really be THAT lazy and unobservant about their tights. I'm fairly certain its a distinct choice in some cases.

love this look

Nah, don't like this look at all

Perving by crepes is exactly why I'm so embarrassed for women in translucent leggings. They're basically naked, which would be just mildly unfortunate except for people who actively enjoy someone else's possibly-accidental state of undress.

Oh come on how can this possibly be accidental?!

the overstretched transparency is probably accidental

... is the title of my new spoken word piece

Substitute "processing visual stimuli as males" for "perving by crepes".

No no, that last one prob isn't accidental, obv. Earlier posts were about people in more worn versions that you could see through.

Also frankly the schoolmarm in me can't remotely fathom why anyone would wear these if they realized men everywhere are looking at their asses this way. But I'm a hundred years old and headed for a convent so ymmv.

maybe they are nudists who like to stay a little bit warm

It's the only probable explanation.

I mean, I have never worn tight black leggings, but my sense is that when you put on a garment you have some vague idea of how form-fitting it is. Not to mention that you perhaps own a mirror, or have friends, or any number of other ways that you might be informed of what it is you're wearing and what it looks like. Not to say I haven't worn a few things that looked way stupider than I thought they did, but it'd be kind of hard to wear something that hugs each and every curve of flesh and not just feel that, right? Or are they so tight that they cut off circulation and shut down nerve endings? I dunno.

xpost oh okay, that makes sense then

I think girls wear them becuase they're comfortable tbh! Not nec because they are so form-fitting specifically.

I'm guessing the cameltoe in that last picture is entirely accidental?

Yeah, I think you're right that there's a difference between "these are worn out and became see-through" and "these are really tight and form-fitting," it's just that the latter, in combination with the Uggs (and, yes, usually the long sweater) is a trend right now. So I think the people wearing it know what it looks like, having seen it in magazines/TV/friends, and are totally going for it. But I might just be rationalizing because I think it's so pretty.

But, I mean, I have long been a totally indefensible sucker for Uggs in a way that I can't explain. I think I love the incredible bottom-heavy imbalanced-ness of them, it's this awkward oversizing that I can only compare to Megaman, or maybe to just the 2000s general love of the incongruous join, the massive meeting the miniscule. It's like a LOLcat fashion.

Megaman!

the overstretched transparency is probably accidental

otm

I'm sorry but I have a really hard time believing all the girls prancing around in leggings worn or stretched so thin that you can literally see their ass cheeks are doing so intentionally. I think most know they're tight obv but not transparent. I think maybe they since they get dressed indoors where the lighting is diff they don't realize exactly how much is on display.

x-posts

Uggs are awful. Always have been and always will be.

I almost can't believe that people still buy them.

yeah I think ENBB otm here, these types of materials can look way different in direct sunlight than they do in a semi-dark bedroom in the early morning

Maybe - I still think they are a trend because of the appearance/aesthetic - but would you agree that you'd have to be aware of the form-fittingness if you were wearing them? Again, I haven't worn a lot of these things myself. (i'm male btw)

Baggy ones that give the opposite of camel-toe are, if anything, worse.

xpost

wouldn't you also be aware of it because you've seen a million other people wearing this exact same style?

do nudists even exist anymore? when my grandpa died, my grandma tried to date a little bit and one of her dates took her to a nudist colony, just like in that golden girls episode. the 70s were a wonderful time.

Long sweater would be fine!!! Looooong sweater. One that covers YOUR ASS, FOR INSTANCE. Also that is not camel-toe, that is a NORMAL HUMAN CROTCH, and that is exactly why the too-short top is a problem.

x-post - They do. They're called Germans.

Laruel otm re importance of long tops and also the particulars of camel toe.

In Ibiza last September there were plenty of nudists.

Yes, the reason this look works with the long sweater is that there is something left to the imagination, it isn't all on display. Its like boots and big, baggy sweater are v formless but theres just this hint of shapeliness between the calves and mid-thigh that sets it all off. I don't know, really trying to describe why I like this without sounding pervy and its kinda difficult.

i thought camel toe was just when you can see somones NORMAL HUMAN CROTCH through their cloths

I sort of like the giant moon boot shape in contrast w a close-fitting leg, it's space-suity from the future and/or kind of a super-hero look that I can dig. Those clunky video-game boots are out there, and if people like that look THEY SHOULD GO GET SOME from their local techno goth-serving emporium.

Uggs are just slovenly.

Sometimes though, the long sweater comes off a bit like they were in a rush and forgot to put pants on.

maybe leggings with a too-short top is the closest that puritanical americans can get to nudism

No, camel-toe is when the garment is so tight that the center seam causes a visible vertical separation of the outer genitalia.

I totally had moon boots as a kid! Like this lol:

http://www.moon-boots.com/es/images/l/tecnica_moon-boots_dunkel-blau_dark-blue.jpg

Yeah, camel toe is when fabric gets sucked up in between the lips.

lol

(Let me be clear that I do think it looks gross when the material itself is thin and stretched and you see this diffraction screen of black leggings muddled with whatever the person's flesh tone is, as seen in some of the examples upthread - that is UGH, not UGGS. I just like the idea of a trend where people are into the butt curvature being expressed as a plastic, sculptural composition - the masterly, correct and magnificent play of forms in light, let's say.)

xxxpost yeah yeah - more those kind of huge, overkill mukluk things than the stripped-down hangover Uggs.

Leggings with those boots would be cool as fuck.

Watch out, it will become a trend and we will be backlashing by next January.

I want moon boots again now. I actually slipped on ice and fell on my ass this morning. Maybe I need them. Hmmmmm.

The whole leggings-with-chunky boots thing is the apres ski look, as remy noted up-thread. Those women's ski pants are/were pretty thick iirc, like practically made of neoprene or at least something that wd protect you from cold and ice-scrapes if you wiped out.

The modern interpretation uses way thinner fabrics than those things ever did.

OTM

I think I got those Moon Boots specifically when we went skiing. OMG I just had a weird flashback of my mom rocking the big fur boots with her ski bottoms. You know, the ones that look like Shitzus?

Like this.

http://www.foundmark.com/pers/gallery/parkas/boots/images/boots.jpg

They lived in our basement for years and were always pretty scary to encounter in the dark.

Hahah yes, that's what I was thinking of.

I bought a pair of skinny jeans in comfortable fabric & got them home to find they had no fly or pockets = alas! jeggings!

Super comfy though. I tend not to wear them out except with my longest sweater or oversize flannel. It still feels a little too close to quasi nudity. Short top? OH HELL NO.

I think those boots are a trophy from

http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/d/d0/SkywalkerWampa.jpg

Aesthetically Uggs are not too great but damned if I'm not crazy envious of women wearing tall Uggs with skirts while waiting for the train on very cold days. The look so warm and soft. I also assume these women change into normal shoes when they arrive at their destination.

And I'm not sure I'm any better looking in my flats or non-Uggs and long socks or leg warmers over tights or leggings.

my opinion is this is a good look because i like ass

http://www.geekologie.com/2011/09/28/wampas-1.jpg

aahahha

omg

ahahaha

i used to rock the big furry boots (not uggs more like mukluks) look 10 years ago but people still wore skirts and pants back then.

remember those boot cut black stretch pants everyone wore at the end of the 90s?

yes! they are indestructible, btw; i still have two pairs of them that i wear to work out when i haven't done laundry in a while.

ha i got a pair at lerner that i still wear to bed/gym

they were the occasion for some mom-like tsking in my head the last time i went out dancing and the 21-year-old girls were wearing very very short dresses. i was like, at least, in my day, when we went dancing, we wore pants! i just feel like how can you even dance in a micro-mini? /mom

I saw a girl at a nightclub wearing those underpants-looking hotpants & got the vapors

Funny thread! I bought my 7 year old niece a pair of Uggs for Christmas and that's where they belong, on Children. When I last went to Austin, T and I saw endless girls wearing baby T shirts with leggings and dress shoes. It's sort of embarrassing. A long shirt or sweater yeah, but one girl's shirt fell above the top of her leggings.

I worked in a University that seems to be particularly well known for its annoying students a few years ago and around 08-09 every other girl was walking around wearing tights as leggings (with nothing long over the top). They also wore PJ bottoms in the gym. I pretty much turned into my mother overnight.

I really hate the fashion industry for basically forcing me to wear leggings due to 99% of dresses in regular shops that I like being too short to wear without.

They also wore PJ bottoms in the gym

lol that's nothing. I went to a stoner hippie school for a while and a lot of kids would go to class literally wearing what they'd gone to bed in. One of my professors actually had to tell a class that they needed to dress/wash themselves before coming to her class. NB - I never did this.

ha, I came v v close to the brink of going to the corner store in my PJ bottoms over Christmas to get hangover food. I had to have a long hard think about things after that.

if i can't go to the gym/store in my lounge pants, i don't even want to know what other rules i'm violating

Oh, I think lounge pants are OK. Like, yoga pants? I've changed out of PJ bottoms into those when going out in public which really isn't that much of a diff but nobody needs to see my flannel PJs imo.

thank you this trend

flannel pjs in public is the worst imo.
a gaggle of teen girls came into the place where I get my lunch wearing pj bottoms, uggs, tiny tank tops & with the worst birdsnested sideways bedhair...I was like "Did you come here straight from a gangbang? Jesus, put some clothes on."

none of that bothers me at all -- if people smell, that's one thing, but general slovenliness is a person's right

in teenagers it disturbs me. brings out my dormant mom-gene

that pjs and uggs thing not so much slovenliness as a pretty carefully cultivated look. on campus in the summer or fall it's usually running shorts and a sorority t-shirt with running shoes. like every. single. day.

I remember back in lolcollege that tons of people, male and female alike, would wear those snapaway track pants everywhere. I'll cop to owning a few pairs, but they never left my dorm or apartment.

Wear what you want outside. I usually just go for comfort or utility.

I sort of like the giant moon boot shape in contrast w a close-fitting leg, it's space-suity from the future and/or kind of a super-hero look that I can dig.

Yeah, it gives off a very '2000AD' type silhouette. Reminds me of Halo Jones or something.

Yay! I had to wear an old pair of Lane Bryant jeans this weekend and I was so grumpy about it. Pajama jeans forever!

tight black leggings and boots are a bad look 50% of the time and pretty awesome the other 50%

unfortunately the difference is completely within my prejudices so it's probably better to avoid it

I will never understand men.

don't forget flat saggy cycling nanna ass in spandex (sans foofy boots tho)

i saw a whole GROUP of girls wearing tight black leggings like pants today. but they were all running, so weirdly they didn't look like they weren't wearing pants. not even when they stopped running at the crosswalks.

I wear tight black leggings while running. Totally socially acceptable.

Yeah running/dancing/gym is what theyre for. Wearing in the street with high heels and a short tshirt with yr undies visible, is not.

Leggings are trousers. Tights are not. See-through leggings are see-through trousers!

I saw a girl at the grocery story with those thin leggings-tights and a short t-shirt. It was like her legs were just lightly sprayed with black cotton spray, and it sort of looked like she was naked. (Like when you see girls in bodypaint and you know they're naked but you try to pretend they're not, or viceversa). She was tiny and cute and had a nice ass so w/e, but it's still a weird look for buying milk.

not a weird look for selling milk, if you know what boat I'm sailing

I am picking up what you are putting down...and then I am putting it down very quickly again

Ever since this thread, I've seen these girls everywhere. Downtown, the grocery store, the bus. I just hadn't been scoping on gams enough, I guess.

Yeh, they're all over the place here as well. Despite me knowing that this look is tacky and cheap, I can't help the fact that

So many teenagers have them. SO MANY TEENAGERS.

Or, not even sequinned but glitter-ified?

when i first started teaching we were in the heyday of super lo-cut jeans w/ exposed thongs, which went away, so apparently history ebbs and flows

exposed thongs

Oh jeez I worked in an Applebee's during this era and half the waitresses were showing whale tail.

aw i remember whale tails
#nostalgia

I wonder how embarassing it is to be the woman in the photo of this wiki entry

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_tail

my that's a lacy thong

let us marvel at these sentences:

Specially designed trousers like low-rise jeans or hip-huggers and higher cut thongs lead to greater exposure of the whale tail. The trend was also associated with the trend of sporting lower back tattoos. The word was selected by the American Dialect Society in January 2006 as the "most creative word" of 2005. The concepts of visible panty line, buttock cleavage, and sagging are closely related to the whale tail.

BUTTOCK CLEAVAGE, AS A CONCEPT

that article has 84 citations

my thesis will be an in-depth exploration of the concept of sagging

In 2004, Louisiana, USA State Representative Derrick Shepherd proposed a bill (HB1626), also known as the Baggy Pants Bill to Louisiana House of Representatives

ok, the woman in the first photo on the wiki appears to be watching...a buncha Amish people?

alas, i am naive and thought a 'whale tail' was an 80s era ponytail sprouting from the top of the head

swear to GOD that i've heard the term used for that before

Britney Spears has been portrayed as a major contributor to the whale tail's popularity. Her whale tail flashing has been referred to in such creative literature books as Married to a Rock Star by Shemane Nugent, Thong on Fire by Noire, The Magical Breasts of Britney Spears by Ryan G. Van Cleave, and Off-Color by Janet McDonald.

THONG ON FIRE

whale tail vs. visible panty line outlining shapely ass

an in-depth exploration

That's what you say to all the girls

By 2007, thongs were overtaken by boyshorts and accounted for only 12% of the knickers market

wonder if that waitress works every thursday

just a lonely guy, thinking bout leggings

lol

I like elmo's interpretation. Although for me the ponytail is more like a cartoon whale spouting water out of its blowhole.

Also, I like my ass tights (credit to Dr. Casino for that one---yes, we have talked about this IRL too) partly because they sit up at my waist unlike the horrific low-rise jeans of yore. In my defense, mine are very thick & I usually wear them with shirts long enough to mitigate crotchal awkwardness.

the closest I have to leggings is these weird skinny jeans that are I think what's classified as jeggings but I hate that word so I don't call them that

and the only time I wear them is with a huge oversize sweater that comes down to like mid thigh.

The Magical Breasts of Britney Spears
by: Ryan G. Van Cleave
Publication Date: April 2006
$16.95
ISBN: 1-59709-067-0

By writing so unabashedly about the glitter, the effluvia, the very Britney of contemporary American life, Ryan Van Cleave may have shortened the shelf-life of these poems, but few readers of today will be able to resist his supercharged language and unbound satirical exuberance.
-- Billy Collins, U.S. Poet Laureate 2001-2003

Anger, hunger, and desire power Ryan Van Cleave's excitable new poems, but their rudeboy force is always harnessed by a larger comic vision. Whether he's channeling King Kong, Bubbles the Chimp, or Counter-Terrorist Barbie, Van Cleave alternately throttles and embraces our less-than-perfect world, turning its wild inconsistencies to his own ends. Never cool, never shying away from the facts on the ground, these poems, like Michael Jackson's tortured Bubbles, adamantly refuse to be denied.
-- Rachel Loden, author of Hotel Imperium

Ryan Van Cleave's explosive riffs roll over the American pop culture landscape like a caffeined-up emcee from the dark side. Trying to keep up with his quick wit and dizzying leaps may leave you out of breath, but gasping with surprise and wonder, marveling at how -- beneath the glitz -- Van Cleave has found the sick, twisted soul of this country.
-- Jim Daniels, author of Show and Tell

In The Magical Breasts of Britney Spears, Van Cleave makes unforgettable music. Tuned to the frequency of the moment, this book brilliantly articulates the paradoxes of the postmodern American landscape. Anxieties, elations, grievings -- this book has it all.
-- Virgil Suárez, author of 90 Miles: Selected and New Poems

I own a few pairs of leggings and they're warmer and more comfortable than tights in the winter. However, I only wear them with dresses or a tunic that goes past my ass. xpost

Dang, a Billy Collins blurb!

"By writing so unabashedly about the glitter, the effluvia, the very Britney of contemporary American life..."

can't read anymore, loling

Leggings are good with the dresses that are just to short for me to wear now.

The worst use of sequins I've seen in a while were gold sequin tuxedo stripes on camouflage sweat pants.

I have one pair of leggings and I wear them at home but never outside. I'd feel too exposed!

"mine are very thick & I usually wear them with shirts long enough to mitigate crotchal awkwardness"

I think that if you're gonna do this the thickness is key. I see way too many ladies who don't realize that these things stretch out or wear thin and wind up just flashing their asses to the world. I get so embarrassed for them. Then again, maybe that's the look they're going for. idk.

I just now noticed that the woman in that Wikipedia "whale tail" entry appears to be observing some kind of Mormon or Amish meeting or somesuch?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Whaletail_cropped.jpg/347px-Whaletail_cropped.jpg

Amish or Mennonite, probably more likely the latter due to them having a cooler

I think the woman in the photo has her thong on wrong.

That black shadow looks like the label which should be at the waistband.

Hahaha, I think you're right. Strap on the right seems thinner, as if it should be the one going south.

Somebody got dressed in the dark.

tbh the only look i like better than this are jeggings and high heels

so what's a whaletail if the thong is backwards

is it whaleface? lol

this look was cute on someone i saw the other day because she was totally knock-kneed

“The truth of the matter is the only way you can actually test for the issue is to put the pants on and bend over,” Day said on today’s conference call. “Just putting the pants on themselves doesn’t solve the problem. It passed all of the basic metric tests and the hand-feel is relatively the same, so it was very difficult for the factories to isolate the issue, and it wasn’t until we got in the store and started putting it on people that we could actually see the issue.”

i like how she tries to suggest that the problem is you can't bend over and see your own butt

sounds like an insane villain reveling in his dastardly plan

lmao goole

tight black leggings and big booty foofs

the word 'leggings' now triggers buzz bissinger images in my head. rip my enjoyment of this thread ;_;

i just used leggings in re: buzz bissinger today!

wonder if he owns any pleggings (pleather leggings)

bight tlack pleggings and fig boofy foofs

the season is nigh

I first noticed the worn out/stretched too thin leggings thing a couple months ago on a girl in a salon. I could see her ass, thong, EVERYTHING. I was embarassed for her and sat there for about 20 mins trying to think if there was any way I could tactfully point this out because in the sun it was p much obscene. I decided there wasn't. :(

amazing post

ahahaha! Timely revive. I was just about to text Dr. Casino to lament the hole I recently discovered in my ass tights. PS. I AM WEARING THEM RIGHT NOW

Bahahhahahaa i was just about to txt you to celebrate the revive!

happy to see this thread, and subject, return

tho it seems to be waspy riding boots are more common than anything big and/or foofy

keep it foofy

foofy booty

the nature of the footwear dwindles in relevance next to the astonishment of pantslessness, imo

apparently i need to be paying more attention

riding boots have definitely replaced foofers

you would think a lot of women in San Francisco own horses owing to sheer number of riding boots but no

prefer riders to big foofers

I see a poll forming.

And then I see a foof boot

bight tlack pleggings and fig boofy foofs

qft

caribou boots

marabou boots!

a good compromise between uggs/riding boots is tall slouchy boots

when did foofy become a word

I feel like foofy has been a word for a while!

tbh i said it the other night but i said froofy, and i was wondering what i was doing

i was like there's something off here maybe

hahaha <3

that can be a word too

i'm into it

:)

foofy would appear to suggest puffy and furry

Froofy's been around longer than foofy. I'm almost sure of it.

currently wearing some amazing Primarni foofy (fluffy, woollen, have a toggle) boots. For inside the house only but they are sooo warm.

they sound very appealing.

i have few to no rules about other people's clothing, wear and let wear is my motto. i'm quite unobservant though, i can spend a whole day with someone and later have no idea of what they were wearing.

keep on thinking this is a cocteau twins thread

ah, yes, those leggings that are too tight, making them transparent...damn them! so.....annoying

*starts thread furiously*

currently wearing some amazing Primarni foofy

^^^ read this as a noun at the end. Would love for "foof" to start working like "swag," let's make it happen.

I'm working an H&M trouser with a Primarni foof

hm that sounds very wrong

yes, it conjures up a hoof.

quit trying to make foof happen

foof reproof

Another isolating factor can be a clash of decorating styles between roommates. Catherine Curtis, 20, a junior at Earlham College in Richmond, Ind., describes herself as the cutoffs and T-shirt type. "My roommate put up a lot of foofy, frilly cat things," she says dryly. But the unlikely duo was able to find a happy medium. "I'm always pretty open-minded about people.

Surm otm

the other day i saw a woman wearing tight crazy-zigzag-pattern leggings as pants

Heck yeah, print leggings are everywhere. As pants. I'm not going to lie, they look comfortable.

I saw (or at least noticed) the first black leggings foofy boot combo today. All is seemingly right in the world.

things have not been so good here, what if the winds of fashion have left this trend behind?? :(

I must admit I may have turned a corner on this trend.

too little, too late

I feel I need to not express my positive thoughts on this fashion statement, because I don't want to objectify women or, in doing so, keep women out of this discussion/thread.

I will say one thing:

Yum.

In the sense that I don't have to wear office clothes anymore and it's glorious and I never want to go back to tight dresses, fine, but otherwise while I have kinda come around on leggings, I prefer wildly patterned ones.

The only boots I ever want to see are kick-ass ones, not schlubby dirty fuzzy ones.

Like ones with spikes on them? KISS style?

this might be relevant to your interests, it's cropped from the background of a picture a friend had on facebook:
http://i.imgur.com/dT3d6QU.jpg

When I say I turned a corner, I mean I kind of realized this isn't a proper thing to wear out in public. But I am still doing it because comfy.

That looks like it might possibly be a very clingy dress? But approved either way

no, I believe it is some kind of bodysuit

Oh man, I saw September someone wearing some hideously patterned leggings at the grocery store yesterday. And by 'hideous' that different mean I didnt fully approve.

September, wtf

I recently saw someone wearing leggings that had some kind of internet cat meme design

I mean like

yes, in orbit! something along those lines.

i just ordered my first pair of black leggings for fall/winter

Lat weekend my wife and I were at the zoo and saw some woman in these crazily patterned leggings, they were like white with orange and green diamonds all over them. Maybe they might work in a particular context, but with just a t-shirt or whatever she had on with them they simply looked bonkers.

daym if i were female seeing that jumpsuit mh has posted would have been a fashion revelation for me.

The cross of St Peter is a nice anti-Christian touch.

It's a nice conversation started, because she is being vague about whether or not she is anti-Christian or if she just thought that outfit was 'cute'.

starter*

are inverted crosses the new triangle?

otm

tiny white inverted crosses as a pattern are everywhere! they have stuff with that pattern at forever 21!

Ya. There are a few small clothing companies here with that pattern.

I've not been in Forever 21 in a while. They sell men's clothing now, right?

I'm holding out for my pentagram leggings.

If you accidentally post it on this thread I would not object.

perhaps i spoke too soon

oh, had my first sighting of tight black leggings this season,but they were with black knee-high rainboots.

i see lots of this but not in "foofy" boots, usually just regular leather boots now.

i don't really think someone with your dn need feel any discomfort about just saying 'foofy'

yeah, I was drawing the line a bit to the outfield in that the boots I saw were uggs but not particularly goofy

discomfort?

'disfoomffort'

ahhh

spottie-ottie-foofalicious

http://i.imgur.com/DpToDm5.jpg

otm, those are a plague

The worst.

I know I've had a huge crush on at least one woman who carried one but I can't place her and the bag was definitely not central.

haha i love you guys

hah actually i don't really care one way or the other about the longchamp - i had mistakenly thought this thread was about chronicling trends

totally at least partially is!

and also this bag totally is carried by a high % of leggings/foof-combo wearers

THIS THREAD IS FOR VERY SPECIFIC IMPORTANT TRENDS WHICH INVOLVE TIGHT BLACK LEGGINGS OK

A high % of the legging and boot wearing longchamp carriers also wear pearl earrings ime.

pearl earrings and this other stuff are v much sorority signifiers i guess (perhaps obv)

I def see the bag, the tights and the boots together frequently. But those bags seem very "summer" to me so cross post with IA thread pls

this is gonna be one of those things i've never noticed but will now see everywhere, right

It's a rare day that I see less than 10

They come in different colors, sizes, there's this knockoff by a brand called baby drake or something idk

I think the appeal is in the customizeability + it's unostentatious

Longchamps are one rung about Vera Bradley imo. Would not be inherently objectionable if they weren't sagging under the weight of so much signifying.

Me and my friend made a pyramid of women's bags once. but we didn't fit in either vera bradley or longchamp, how do they relate vis-a-vis coach? that was the base

WELL I think the idea behind Longchamps is that they're v light and crushable? Possibly they were intended as like carry-on bags or things you can pack flat in case you need more storage later. This may also be a gloss they've put on their history, but basically they're supposed to be minimalist and utilitarian. I kind of like the GIANT ones because the scale is ridiculous, you could never lift a bag that big wiht those little handles, clearly that is what servants do.

I mean that partic "cheap" model, obv their major business is in luxury leather goods and that nylon style is their lowest level--on par with the Coach fabric logo-print bags.

The smallest ones are $125 which is just lol because what are they made out of vylon?

errr nylon

Yeah.

less bags, more foof

i fear the narrow black/brown riding-boot thing has completely won out

Every other girl on the campus I work at sports this look.
It tears me apart inside cuz on the one hand, slovenly, on the other, ass.

I work next to a school and can confirm leggings/tights and brown riding boots appears to be the uniform for teachers this year.

Back up there aldo. The teachers are just wearing leggings or they're wearing them under a skirt or something?

Just wearing leggings - long-ish tops to cover their modesty (almost). Malvern is a classy place.

Oh my friends live in Malvern (unless there's more than one?) it's lovely!

Or maybe Malvern Hills?

I saw the worst example of this morning. A young woman was walking around in the thinnest oldest leggings I've ever seen (with a short top/jacket) and she had, well, an extremely large and, um, interestingly shaped behind and the material was stretched so thin that you could pretty much see all of her naked ass cheeks AND HER CRACK. It was not good, it was not good at all. I know that this is not a popular opinion with some people who would say that you should wear whatever the fuck you want to wear regardless of whether or not it looks good on you but I still think there's something to be said for knowing what enhances or flatters your figure and anyway OLD STRETCHED THIN MATERIAL THAT IS PRETTY MUCH NOT COVERING SHIT IS NEVER A GOOD LOOK. It was so bad people were staring. Where are this girl's friends? Someone needs to pull her aside and give her some real talk imo. It was that bad. She was also wearing Uggs.

I SAW STRANGER CRACK BEFORE 9:00 am. I was not prepared for this tbh. I think I have PTSD.

PCSD though I think.

Yeah, maybe that's it. It was bad.

no undies? sounds horrid!

Nope. No an undie in sight.

that's a whole lot of words before you drop the uggs into it

Well, obviously The Uggs were not the main issue here but I felt the need to point out that they were part of the ensemble so as not to deviate too far from the original topic at hand.

i'm not so sure this phenomenon is really such a great aesthetic crime in the general instance, but insofar as the asscrack-hugging rizla thin leggings were a faux pas, adding the uggs is like the eichmann prosecutors finishing off with 'and he also kicked a kitten twice', not the most heinous of the crimes but it sort of contextualizes everything else

Yes.

also "rizla thin leggings" a+

'too sheer'

http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/new-complaints-on-lululemon-website-about-yoga-pants-pilling-too-sheer-1.1524992

riding boots & tight jeans paired with a natty blazer cant ever get old

that is definitely more of a look this year than the leggings

I'd make fun of riding boots that have never seen the side of a barn before but I wear motorcycle boots so I probably shouldn't throw hay.

Well, it's the same thing with people who wear Uggs here in Los Angeles.

I mean, I hope your feet aren't drenched in sweat from all the heat.

But I wear flip flops all year round here, so each to his own, I guess.

riding boots & tight jeans paired with a natty blazer cant ever get old
otm
it comes and goes, but never feels wrong

although i don't really know what everyone is talking about re: "riding boots"
there are lots of different types of horse riding boots, no?

There are but I think they're using it to mean tall calf length leather boots like so?

http://www.thebudgetbabe.com/uploads/2008/200801/riding-boots.jpg

Or things similar to that.

yeah, I don't think we're talking about that xxp

I honestly just searched google/zappos for "riding boot" and determined that it was a reference I understood, which it was.

ENBB otm

i can't imagine anything bad to say about those boots

I just discovered that google image searching for "riding boots jeans" is pretty magical

no those are good boots!

I need a new pair tbh because I bought a really really nice pair last year but the heels are a little too hight and I feel too tall in them so I've only worn them once.

I like flat or near flat boots best.

Me too. I want some brown ones with a gently pointed toe but also calves that fit me and that is proving more difficult than I thought :(

I would face death in several insane stunts for black patent boots "(6)" but all the other pairs just say "rich Long Island publicity intern" to me. But that's just me.

I almost said the only ones I really don't like are #6 but I think it's cause the patent is too much in a boot for me.

never have I felt so blessed to not live anywhere near Long Island and to not have this burden of stereotype

they're not offensively ugly like uggs though -- these boots are "boring rich ppl" at worst.

or just boring sometimes

"they're not offensively ugly like uggs though -- these boots are "boring rich ppl" at worst"

Yeah, totally. I actually don't particularly love any of the ones in that pic I was just going for the general calf-length leather boot look.

these boots are "boring rich ppl" at worst.

Oh, absolutely. They're not hideous. They're more like, you really paid $300-600 to look exactly like everyone else?

well, this is a thread about a ubiquitous theoretically "bad" look that we love

love to hate, hate to love

I'm just cranky because none of them would fit me anyway.

It's funny, the eternal "New York" boot is still the black pointy-toed stiletto but riding boots are giving them a run for their money finally.

I swear I had an ex that was generally your size who had a pair of these

update: sighting of ~jeans and riding boots~ at workplace

In high school, I used to wear black vintage '60s ski pants with lace-up black boots, huge sweaters and cardigans, but since the ski pants were thick enough to obscure VPL the sweaters did not necessarily need to cover the arse. The ski pants were ludicrously inexpensive ($10 at vintage warehouse) and made out of the same fabric as old-school jodhpurs.

Have actually been wearing a pair of Etienne Aigner riding boots for like the past five years (never with leggings, always with jeans or cabley tights/short dress), and now a small rubbed hole has appeared on the side of the toe, almost as if the fashion gods were telling me it's time to stop, lest I overlap with these boring rich people who have Anthropologie store cards.

I went to the outlet mall at lunch today, omg it was like a leggings + riding boots convention

One tiny girl was super cute but her boots were hilariously high, like they came quite a ways up over the knee like veering up to fishing waders height, or julia roberts pretty woman cfm boots. not quite mid thigh but nearing there

they were a cool style leather and v chill it's just that the length looked funny on her. maybe because her legs were shorter or something, idk.

I think I'm just envious of anyone who can wear over-the-calf boots because of my giant balloon calves lol

I think I'm just envious of anyone who can wear over-the-calf boots because of my giant balloon calves lol

omg so envious. I remember after I first came to Canada I ended up nearly bawling in a shopping mall because I couldn't find a single pair of high snow boots that came close to getting over my calves. I had to get snowjoggers because they're short, and even then I have to wear the velcro fastenings really loosely.

my first christmas here mr veg bought me a pair of beautiful birkenstock riding boots...that I had to return bcz i couldnt zip them over my giant non german non svelte hiker calves waaaaah they were so beautiful

sorels or gtfo

what abt brown velour juicy couture style tracksuit & plimsoles

this entire fall I have worn leggings and leather boots and a GIANT morbid saint hoodie that goes below my ass. Am I safe

yes x 100

There is some massive crossover with this and yoga pants.

feel like this look was all I saw last November when I went to NYC

http://i.imgur.com/cA0vG2s.png

is that the image that was going around captioned "who would have thought college girls would be dressing like han solo?"

more like hot solo emirate

Why don't people just put all this in one image

http://i.imgur.com/nCREPTs.png

i was in a suburban mall a few weeks ago and took to counting how many times i saw that exact outfit.

from the waist down i do that look on a daily, but from the waist up it is 100% XL morbid saint hoodie

I would not be the least bit surprised were that pic taken at tailgating where I went to college (eastern PA). Fortunately I attended in the grunge era when baggy jeans and flannels were the thing. Also I did not tailgate why because that would mean getting up stupid early on a Saturday. The duck boots on the dude are a northeastern giveaway ime.

That photo also confirms that I need to get at least six inches cut off my hair because c'mon I ain't no coed, c'mon. I'm forty fucking years old.

c'mon

ok so i bought some of those $5 leggings they sell at walgreen's that have sweatpants on the inside and they are
they are heavenly in their comfort

saw someone at the grocery store who was ~obviously~ an athlete rocking grey fuzzy leggings-as-pants that left zero doubt as to how fabulous her training regimen was, and as she turned and left, the girl who had bagged her groceries gave her grey fuzzy bubble butt such an ENORMOUS appalled stinkeye

oh no the human body

oh yes, the human body

foofness chicks

um i now own leggings & foofy suede winter boots

but only wear with skirts so far

feel v lol but so comfortable

I wear mine with an XL morbid saint sweatshirts and that is my winter uniform

I have basically decided that leggings and longer shirts is my primary outfit configuration from here until eternity. I have some of those fleecy leggings, too, and they are fantastic. I do not have foofy boots, but I have what I guess you might call "chunky" boots and I will wear them and everyone can enjoy a fat, old lady in leggings and chunky boots and talk about it on the internet.

The inspiration for my look is every humanoid settlement from Star Trek:TNG that wears leggings and tunics and boots, which is like 85% of them.

I wear mine with an XL morbid saint sweatshirts and that is my winter uniform
same, only i wear an xl green dartmouth sweatshirt i've had since i was 14 when my dad bought it for me. i have never been there. wearing this rn in fact.
seriously these walgreens fleece-lined (sweatpant) leggings might be the most comfortable things i have ever put on my body

need to find male equiv of this to wear that's comfy but also has a sexy allure

tbh maybe I should just buy leggings and foofy boots

Ans: Slim-cut trousers and shirts w short or rolled-up sleeves have my vote (as always).

only if they're slim-cut trousers with elastic waists

seamless one-size-fits-most trousers i can buy for $5 at any walgreens that feel like sweatpants on the inside

:D

maybe I need to check my foof privilege because I pretty much wear comfy jeans/pants to work and have a shirt with rolled-up sleeves right now

i tried wearing a button down shirt a few weeks ago and spent like 40 minutes trying to roll up the sleeves properly.

i'd still wear it again though given the proper occasion

there's no wrong way, especially if it has the little loop that you button to hold yr sleeves up

i just don't have much experience with it! i had to do some experimenting to figure out how to get the sleeve length + fold looking ok and also avoid cutting off circulation to my forearms

(sorry this has nothing to do with leggingfoof)

takes good sizing imo, this is mah 'look' (hi matt p) and i always used to have more trouble getting the sleeves right when my shirts were too baggy.

but any belief that this is like the porky pig style that is leggings-only is i am sorry to say based on a misunderstanding

FOOOFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my wife dresses like this. when she walks up the stairs it's like an inuit doing "the twerk". i tell her honey, if i wanted to see your a*** id install a "go pro" in the toilet bowl!

just my $0.02

you don't want to see your wifes ass : ( ?

when did missingNO become Bill Magill

pretty obvious joek post

don't recall bill magill being a half-hearted d-bag and if it's a joke it's pretty obviously risibly stupid

glad you have a look j. don't be too fussy about the roll ime

mine was a joek post too :(

sinful!

it's been a good three years, rip christian tight black leggings

there is an 11-image slideshow accompanying that article

omg lol good trolling sfgate

"She said she asked her husband, Dale, about his perspective on leggings, and he admitted that when he sees women wearing the clothing, it’s hard not to look at their body."

Way to go Dale. Snitches get stitches.

interesting that he does not refer to his wife there

good to know the industry to mitigate the stares of christian males is still in business

“I want her to know, her value is not in the way her body looks or how she dresses. This is why Jesus wants her to hide her body from the sight of lustful men until her God-given husband takes possession of it along with her virginity and all the development rights to her uterus. Who cares what she wants, she'll want what God SAYS she wants."

what if God wants tightblack leggings and big foofy boots

I think it's in Corinthians somewhere

i regret this thread, and all that i said on it

Nah it's not your fault it went from fashion critique to dudes perving.

like there's a difference

it's Dale's fault.

fwiw I'm doing zero perving in this thread, this is all strictly impartial analysis of a social phenomenon

ok so i bought some of those $5 leggings they sell at walgreen's that have sweatpants on the inside and they are

FYI these come in plus size now and LL is totally OTM about them.

oh yeah god wants me to wear those more often, not less
i wore them for two days straight last week
also? they don't fade -- they're made of some weird polymer or something

i think i'm going to buy a lifetime supply while they're around because i never want to be without

Haha the plus size ones are $6 or 2/$10 so I own four pairs.

It is seriously like the best leggings bargain ever. There's a plus size hip indie clothing retailer who sells a similar product for $35 each! And they aren't as stretchy or as soft and the rise is low so they roll down under my stomach and the crotch sags. Like I want to send them a pair of the Walgreens leggings with an angry note. And they are so cheap I could afford to do it!

Those sound like my kinda leggings. I've been wearing a pair of bright print leggings all the time (they were only $12) and wanting a plain black pair. I guess leggings are my postpartum skinny jeans. Soon, skinny jeans, soon we will be together again. But not too soon...

xp ha you should

what brand are they?

Waleggings

jk I don't know the brand

Leggreens lol

i bought some of those on ll's suggestion and they are THE most comfortable thing i have ever put on my body

wait are they fleece lined? cause i've been looking for good fleece lined ones for a while and I could have gotten them at walgreens this whole time? you're shitting me. also, fleece lined tights. I've found an acceptable footless pair but not footed pair.

Are these walgreens leggings in with the tights or ?

in with tights at my walgreens, and yes fleece lined!!

footless tho

they are basically $5 skintight sweatpants
they are THE most comfortable thing i have ever put on my bodyotm
it's like a soft leg hug that also keeps you warm and eliminates the need for ugly housepants

Not all Walgreens carry the plus sizes. There are approximately 100,000 Walgreens that I pass on any given day and I've found two that carry the plus size leggings. But yeah, they are either with the hosiery or on an endcap.

Fleece lined tights - http://www.herroom.com/berkshire-4755-cozy-hose-tights.shtml

I'm wearing them right now and they are fucking GREAT. Soft, stretchy, opaque, and lasting through their second winter of service (I have two pairs and one just developed a hole in the toe last week).

Those do not look particularly opaque over her ass but I am convinced on the value of all their other attributes!

the walgreens ones are totally opaque over the buns ime

now I'm wondering if any of these are the tights Je55e copped to wearing under his dress pants in the cold winter days

2 for $32 Canadian >:(

i found an img of the ones i've got iirc

dunno if they will fit, will find out tonight

Well, they're tights. 70 denier, so they aren't as hardcore as my 120 denier black tights that are really just like pants with the cuffs sewn close over the toes, but they are sufficiently opaque in the leg.

They also don't smell like petroleum distillates, which for some weird and gross reason my 120 d tights do.

Bought some brown and purple (separate pairs) textured ones (likr fake cable knit) and I look forward to wearing them ASAP

Would these be something appropriate for a yoga class or not really?

Maybe a lil warm? I wear them to do yoga in my basement but it's cold down there

Yeah depends on the sweat sitch. They are polyester but not technical fabric so I could see them getting preeeeetty funky ifyouknowwhatImean.

iknowwhatyoumean. thx for review! Gonna peruse the WG for these next time I stroll by.

Thank you, CA. I just bought a pair of those tights and am going to stop by Walgreens tonight in search of the leggins :)

the closest WG (rather small) does not have the leggings :(

tomorrow I may go to the Taj MaWall a little futher away. It is TWO STORIES and hueg and surely must have these leggings!

Taj MaWall!!!!

my verdict on the textured ones:

brown: comf but kind of ugly, for home only
purple: comf and pleasantly jewel-toned/vibrant, wore them to work two days in a row

My walgreen's didn't have them either! Booooo. Am going to search at another one today. :D

go to where the sweatshirts are -- ime they are usually with "apparel" or on an endcap

I scored four!!! Two black, one gray, one brown. About to don for the first time.

My only complaint so far is that the waistband does not stay in place when I clip my ipod to it + jump around. They are fine for winter yoga in the basement though.

my WG finally has the purple ones. psyched to get them

also lol @ taj MaWall

your freedom to wear tight black leggings is under fire in Montana: http://www.sfgate.com/news/us/article/Montana-lawmaker-says-yoga-pants-should-be-illegal-6076276.php

first they came for the yoga pants
then they came for the foofy boots
