Leggings are not tights!

Tights should not be worn instead of leggings. I don’t understand why girls seem to feel the need to prance around with a short t-shirt and only tights to cover their modesty it’s just not necessary.

Last week as I was standing on the escalator on my way home from work I looked up to be faced with, what can only be described as, an almost bare bottom. I was horrified and had no idea where to look. It seemed however, that I was the only one since I was surrounded by aghast men who were ogling this young girls behind. She seemed blissfully unaware but I decided there and then I should let people know that tights are not an ideal leg covering when wearing a t-shirt. 

I have noticed this ridiculous trend snowballing in to fashion over the last two years and I’m not quite sure how it has made it this far. I have two theories though. The first theory is that the trend of the t-shirt dress from last summer somehow confused many girls who decided that they either couldn’t afford one, although that is impossible with such cheap retail outlets about, or that an ordinary t-shirt would suffice. Well it doesn’t, everyone can see your rump! My second theory, although even more unbelievable, is that a few women are confused with the difference between footless tights and leggings. Well just for all you bum flaunters, here is the difference, tights are translucent.

Most of the girls following this trend, I have noticed, look like they have miscoloured stick legs just poking out of a baggy old t-shirt. It’s obscene and it’s downright vile for any girl to wear. However, if your legs look like twiglets that are about to break do not reveal them to the world with clod hopper boots on the ends. Plus sizes you’re not getting away with it either, don’t think for one minute that the meat on your legs combined with compensating boots for ballet shoes is any better, it’s still unflattering. 

Lastly girls if you feel that you must flaunt this look, please, for the love of god wear some decent underwear. There are quite a few types and brands out there that don’t just cater for the big granny fanny but the young modest woman who dislikes the feeling of dental floss between her bum cheeks.
