The Skirt Legging: Handy or horrible?
The item you see above you is both a classic example of Clothes That Are Stuck Together, AND, at first glance, looked a little bit like a pair of drop-crotch pants.
You'd expect us to absolutely hate then, then, no?
But we don't. Or not really, anyway. Now that we've come to terms with the presence of leggings in our lives (something we never thought would happen, but it's funny how these things creep up on you), we can actually see how these skirt leggings could come in handy. After all, it's one more weapon in the fight against Leggings Worn As Pants, and that can only really be a good thing. Plus, it'll eliminate the need to keep searching for tops that are the perfect length to wear over leggings, and we appreciate that, too. So no, we don't think we actually hate these.
Or maybe we've just taken leave of our senses?
What do you think, readers: do you love or loathe this latest evolution of the legging – the fashion trend that just won't die?
mmm
)
I am a bit doubtful though. the idea of a longer top is to hide your ass, I don’t see the point of adding a tight mini on the leggings (for me at least
Ditto re the tightness of the skirt. And I don’t think sticking clothes together is in principle a good measure to take against fashion crimes – or the world would be filled with Stella McCartney style jump suits just to avoid Lady Gaga-esque jacket + underwear combinations.
for me it would depend if the skirt part actually appears to be a skirt…if you can’t pull the skirt part up to expose the legging part then it really is just like dropped crotch pants…except the bits stretching between the thighs would be flaps instead of a joined crotch…so only a “maybe” from me
Eh, I’m thinking no. I mean, maybe if they didn’t look so much like drop crotch pants I wouldn’t dislike them QUITE as much.
My daughter has some of these; of course she is a year old and it works on her.
LOATHE!
You could fill them out with a big butt, I suppose….
I quite like.
It would eliminate the need to find something to go over the leggings at least.
Nothing wrong with it.. Depends on how ya wear it.
