No this is now. It wasnt talking about an oversized shirt such that you couldnt tell she was wearing shorts too ( also common) or just a sweater with leggings (which i did in th 80s too) - it was enough fabric they could make three or four dresses out of one shirt

Interesting thread:

1) I totally rock my LL Bean Wicked good slippers with jeans (not jeggings- jeans that cover most of my feet) in public. Not only are they warm, they have rubber soles so I don't fall on my face :) I don't do it often, but I do it on lazy weekends.

2) I think this legging trend is way more offensive now than in the 80's. Mind you I was only 8 or 9 when the 80's ended, so maybe I was just less offended. However, working in a public high school now, I must say that leggings and uggs are UGLY. When I'm walking in the halls between classes, especially the stairs I find that I'm only looking at black spandex butts of all sizes. My quote to another teacher last week was "Every passing time I feel like I'm floating in a sea of black spandex asses." My most recent issue with this is that the students are clearly misinterpreting "tights" and "leggings" because I'd say at least 30% are quite translucent, and it's quite obvious that there isn't underwear being worn with most of them. Ewwwwwwww.

End rant.

I would say that in the 80's, butts were usually (although not always) covered by the top when leggings were worn.

About 50% of the time when I'm staying at a motel that serves free breakfast (Hampton Inn, Marriott, etc.) I see older adult women in the dining area in true pajamas with matching robes and even sexy slippers (!), but their hair is fixed and they've got makeup on. Guess they don't have anyone else to show off to but a bunch of strangers. The majority of the younger kids, though, look as if they just rolled out of bed -- which they did.

This is the main problem.

If you buy them off the HOSIERY rack, they are tights. Wear a skirt over them.

If you buy them off a CLOTHING rack, they are leggings. You should not be able to see through them. If you can, don't buy them because you are getting ripped off.

And unless you are teeny tiny....even if they're leggings...cover your bum.

I don't, but it was the short shirt/leggings style that were were debating which made it ENTIRELY out of the question.

Is this post from the 80s?? (Full disclosure - I rocked the stirrups or occasionally spandex and big sweatshirt pretty frequently back in the day)

So did I...but I was like 4. :p

This was the style when I was on the softball team in junior/high school (late 90s-early 00s). Softball shorts (where were pretty short) and a sweatshirt so huge you couldn't tell we were wearing shorts. You'd have to assume a bunch of teen girls weren't all walking around pantless in front of our mothers.

I will admit to flying in yoga type pj pants, I usually fly cross country with no layovers (to CA) so I need to be comfortable.

As far as going out in public, if I NEED to run to the store, I will throw on some pj yoga pants. Or if I'm sick and going to pick up my meds, same thing.

As far as class, no sweats or pjs (my own personal rule.) As far as work, we send kids home for wearing pjs so I obviously can't wear them.

I'm on my way to a party and the theme is, "When you were a kid." I'm seriously tempted to go in my PJs.

Me: I know.

LOL!

First impressions definitely matter, and if you roll up in some Hello Kitty PJ pants and some thin, trashy shirt from Abercrombie and Fitch, I'm definitely going to judge you. If you don't care enough about how people perceive you to wear real clothes and put effort into your appearance, then that's just sad. I guess you could say I'm somewhat of a snob when it comes to this, but I'm the kind of girl who wouldn't be caught dead outside my apartment with sweatpants, let alone my pajamas.

This is my HUGE pet peeve. I don't care if you are skinny. I don't care if you're a size 0. Leggings (or tights) do NOT look ok with short tops.
