About
Our Purpose:
So tights aren’t pants, and they’ve never been pants. However, people wearing tights (and leggings) as pants is a modern-day epidemic, spreading at alarming rates. Some people feel very strongly that tights ≠ pants. We do too, and so we have set out to document tights-as-pants in one natural habitat: the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
But we can’t do this alone! This is a team effort, and YOU can help us out.
How to participate in UIUCnopants:
Next time you’re walking to class and see a pantsless kid in front of you, instead of simply staring in shock, awe, and horror, whip out that cell phone and snap a picture. Then send it over to uiucnopants@gmail.com and if we agree with you that this person is indeed not wearing pants, we’ll post it as the next post we can!
What to include in your UIUCnopants submission:
- Photo of the offending nopantster
- Your name, as you would like to be credited on the site
- Where you took the photo (it should be somewhere in the UIUC campus area)
- If you’re feeling extra ambitious: A funny title or caption for your photo. Otherwise, we’ll write our own!
Kind of see this as an excuse to take pictures of girls asses and post them on the internet without looking like a creep.
You’re a creep.
This site must be the creation of some fashion deranged homosexual or an unattractive girl. Who in there right mind would want girls to wear pants? Your own selfish agenda is going to ruin my walks to class. Nothing I enjoy more than seeing a girl wearing tight pants. Go ILLINI
You mean wearing no pants.
uhhh……i wear uniform. some pple in my school wear realy short “um-wats-it-called-skirts” (jumpers?)
I love this site. I’ll try my best to get more pictures and spread the love
Pictures of guys without pants are okay too?
Of course!
I think this site is absolutely hilarious.
I’ve always thought the North Face/Ugg boots combo (which I’ve dubbed, “The Ugg Face”) is an incredibly silly fashion trend, and the addition of tights/leggings makes it that much more laugh-worthy.
Keep up the good work!
The “Ugg Face” is a great name — it could be its own separate blog, even! So many questionable fashion trends, so little time.
The North Face/Ugg combo is dumb? So wearing a coat…with warm boots….on a cold day…is weird? Just wait until spring…we crazy girls might think of some more odd combos like shorts and sandals!!
First of all, I didn’t say it was “dumb”. But that’s besides the point.
I’m just saying that it’s kinda ridiculous how so many girls wear the exact same thing. I’m sure there are other brands of coats out there. I could be wrong.
I’m with you, Bob. It’s kind of amazing how much conformity there is in what girls wear, despite the fact that most of these people, if you asked them, would probably say they like to express themselves through what they wear, etc. Or maybe they wouldn’t. Maybe these are really just the sorority girls who dress up all wearing the same thing to pledge and whatnot. I don’t know, we don’t know who they are.
I find it a bit creepy to see everything wearing the same thing, especially when it’s a really weird-ass (pun intended) trend like the one shown here. I gotta say though, uggs are damn comfortable.
Mo,
May i remind you that “non-conformity” is in itself a form of conformity? I’m sorry, but all the “alternative” kids are the same… if i only had a dollar for every time i saw a guy who lives in a house in Urbana and wears skinny jeans and has a weird haircut who claims to be a “non-conformist”, I might be able to buy him the therapy he needs because his parents “fucked him up”. I happen to LOVE my ugg boots and leggings (which are pants, you dumbass creeps) and I intend to keep wearing them!
“I happen to LOVE my ugg boots and leggings (which are pants, you dumbass creeps) and I intend to keep wearing them!”
After calling them leggings you still insist that they are pants?! Leggings != pants in the same way that pantyhose != pants; why they may work under something they aren’t to be worn individually. You don’t see hordes of dudes running, no, walking around in long john’s INSISTING they are pants. Just because you really really, like, want something to be pants; doesn’t make them that. Convincing yourself exercise clothing and under-garments should be worn sans pants is a delusion. You aren’t in the gym and likely aren’t going any time soon; put on some pants ffs.
Here’s the definition of pants:
“Pantss are an item of clothing worn on the lower part of the body from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately.”
as far as i can see, leggings fit that description… so yeah, leggings are pants. and if you want to go running or walking around campus with long johns on, go for it.
Maybe you “crazy” girls can wear uggs and shorts some more since clearly that is so sensible too! When you wear that combo are you cold or hot?
how bout when we see you crazy females wearing ugg boots in the rain, now thats good for a laugh, besides tights are not warmer than pants….. fact
I was standing at Transit Plaza the other day waiting for the Yellow watching this new “fashion” blossom right before my eyes as three girls were waiting for the bus. They had on the bulky coats, the ugg boots, gloves, scarves, and no friggin pants! I am just stunned that tights are considered enough clothes! What will be next? Just put hose on, that will be okay? Women are objectified enough, you ladies really don’t need to help that train along.
I will be taking the pics and forwarding. There are PLENTY of shots out there to be taken.
I really don’t see a problem with this. It still gets the job done, and it doesn’t look bad in and of itself. Honestly, a tight pair of jeans would show just as much off.
It’s not *bad* per se. We just think it’s a silly trend and would like to document it. Some girls can pull it off much better than others. Tight jeans generally don’t show off quite as much, but more importantly, 90+% of the female population wears them already — photographing them would be nothing new. The nopants demographic is a sizable minority, which is more interesting (in our opinion).
youre taking pictures of girls in leggings, not tights. tights are usually sheer and are of different material. and yes leggings are pants.
From Free Dictionary:
leggings
a. Tight-fitting knit trousers, usually worn by women and children.
b. Warm outerwear trousers for children.
youre a dumbass.
Last I checked, the leggings these girls are wearing aren’t “knit”, so that definition doesn’t fit. Maybe we ought to start calling them tights?
WHO INVENTED THIS SITE?!?! Because I might love you. Seriously, my roommates and I want to buy you a drink.
If only we could reveal our identity to you, Amanda! We would love to take you up on that drink. Ahh well, glad to know you and your roommates are entertained
Anyone hating on this website is either a dude or a girl defending the fact that she doesn’t wear real pants.
1. This site is the greatest thing I’ve seen in years. Congratulations.
2. Leggings/tights/whatever you want to call them are not pants. You know why? Because we can see your underwear!
3. I’m not trying to tell anyone that what they’re wearing is wrong. If you want to wear paper thin leggings and a hoodless jacket because they’re “warm,” you just go right ahead.
Well said, Elena, that is how we see it, too. There is a fine line between leggings and tights, anyway.
So… if my pants were see-thru but looked like traditional pants, and you could see my boxers – would then I not be wearing pants?
Or what if i was one of the jackasses who cant wear pants that fit me so they hang down and you can see like 5 inches of my underwear… are those not pants too simply because you can see my underwear? Your an idiot. leggings are pants. they are just realllllly tight pants.
Also, they look incredibly good on some women.
(but thanks for making this site anyways, it has had the opposite effect from what i can see and made people actually start wearing them MORE)
Slacking your pants or wearing clear pants are just as dumb as leggings. You must not run into a lot of people who mock the gangster and obnoxiously gay communities. (I say “obnoxiously gay” because, for the life of me, I can’t think of a group of straight people who would wear see-through pants, and every non-flamboyant gay man I know wouldn’t even consider it, either.)
Also, no girl looks good in leggings after you’ve seen a whale in them.
hello stupids,
as a proud “no-pants” wearer, I would just like to clear something up. .
you are discussing leggings, not TIGHTS. dumb fucks, tights are sheer, come in a package, and are not knit cotton/spandex. They are entirely different, and the inaccuracy of your site just looks stupid. Please don’t sound so ignorant on something you all appear to have such strong feelings on.
and p.s. I will keep wearing my leggings daily. . .
just try to snap a photo of my ass.
We’ll do our best.
Wow: “hello stupids”? “dumb fucks”?… not only is this trend ridiculous and unclassy, but so are the girls who follow it!
Seriously, if you’re going to debate the legitimacy of this site, you’ll be much more effective if you at least TRY to sound intelligent and classy.
I’m a girl, and I love to wear tights (which I consider to be interchangeable with leggings. “Nylons” is the word used to refer to the sheer ones). I wear tights all the time … under knee-length dresses on my way to work in cold weather.
You’re the one sounding ignorant debating about leggings/tights on the internet.
Please note that the website is called “uiucnopants” — leggings and tights BOTH qualify under that.
@leggings already did … wasn’t impressed
If you are a woman and you’ve read any fashion magazine, you know that when wearing leggings/tights/anything that covers your legs that isn’t trousers/shorts/jeans, you are supposed to cover your ass. This is not to say that I don’t condone the whole wearing of such items, but please, ladies, butts look saggy in leggings if you aren’t super toned. Jeans are much more flattering! Do you want to have a saggy ass?
Just saying. Keep up the good work!
How come all the leggings are black?
Whoever starts selling colored and printed leggings is going to be rolling in dough (you have two weeks, and then the leggings come off…)
I hope someone is out with a camera today, because the Ugg/Tights (not leggings, I am so sure) combo is out in force.
this site made my day.
my favorite combo is the 3/4 leg legging and the ugg boot, with about an inch of skin showing inbetween.
…so fashionable.
If you think it looks ridiculous then do not wear them. I have never seen a girl wearing leggings without a tshirt or something covering her butt on a girl who did not have a figure to pull it off so stop staying its unattractive, and there are plenty of even more ridiculous fashions right now then a pair of tight, solid color pants. Since girls do not wear low cut shirts in the winter at least let us men have something else to look at until the weather warms up and cleavage comes back from hibernation.
This is ridiculous. I wear leggings as pants all the time because they are waaay more comfortable than jeans, which have no stretch to them. Girls have curves, thus jean are rarely comfortable, and finding a pair that is, is rare. So stop creating some stupid social norm that restricts women even more!
By “girls have curves”, you mean “a depressingly large portion of our adult society is overweight”? Men have curves, too, but I assure you – we don’t have any problem finding jeans that fit, even in those ridiculous skinny jeans styles.
This is HYSTERICAL…and I’m a girl. Keep em comin.
Pockets?……………………discuss
I mean do pockets make them pants?
We’ve been thinking about this for quite some time… what, in fact, ARE pants?? It’s an important question (especially for this blog). If you do a google search for leggings with pockets, there are a bunch of sites claiming to sell them. They’re mostly the denim leggings (jeggings) or some kind of bizarre metallic leggings. We have yet to see pockets on your standard black tights-like leggings that are often pictured on this site.
ANYWAY. Other thoughts? Anyone?
“I wear leggings as pants all the time because they are waaay more comfortable than jeans, which have no stretch to them.”
Amen. Girls don’t wear leggings because they think it “looks better” or are trying to conform and impress people. I personally like to roll out of bed and walk straight to class without spending 3 hours getting dressed up and putting on uncomfortable jeans. I have the rest of my life to wear dressy clothes 24/7. Why do we need to dress up to impress all of you? And why not choose the most comfortable outfit?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and even though I love my leggins and uggs I find this blog hilarious. But unlike UIUCNoPants, some of you are just being rude and ignorant.
bullshit, if you wanted to be comfortable and didn’t care about what people thought of you you’d wear tshirts and pajama pants to class. THESE are the true renegade girls, the true rarities, the true diamonds in the rough with balls of steel– they do not give a fuck.
just admit it, you’re following a hideous trend. if you don’t want to wear uncomfortable jeans, buy comfortable ones. if you don’t want people to accuse you of following ridiculous and ugly trends, don’t follow them. logic.
Leggings, tights, nylons, whatever you want to call them…they’re fine, as long as your top comes down long enough. MY problem, and I’m sure many will agree, is when a girl’s top is too short and the lines of her ass cheeks are clearly distinguishable. It isn’t classy, and maybe it might be comfortable for her, but it IS disgusting. Wear leggings all you want, just cover your ass. No one wants to see your underwear, your ass cheeks, or your camel toe in the front.
Great point — it seems that everyone has their own threshold of how long the shirt has to be or how much ass can be showing while it’s still acceptable. Thanks for sharing yours!
I love the look of leggings on a woman. And if we see their ass or camel toe, that’s even sexier
for the guy who said he’s never seen anyone wear leggings w/o a long enough shirt who doesn’t have the figure to pull it off… i saw someone approx. 300 lbs doing it. it wasn’t pretty.
Indeed, it happens.
I would like to take this website as a personal challenge to create and partake in as many not pants scenarios as possible. The obvious leggings situation is overworked and a new angle is called for. I’d like to encourage the ladies to continue wearing their leggings and uggs and northface. What fun!
OK i can understand if guys don’t get the whole leggings thing. but if you’re a girl and hating on them. then either 1) you’ve never tried it 2) you’re a nerd and still have your mom dress you or 3) you’re fat and should head to the gym asap.
k thanks.
OR 4) you’re a tasteful dresser.
I hate leggings, tights, nylons, etc. as pants even though:
1) I HAVE tried them. On a whim, I recently decided to dress down on a trip to Vegas and wear leggings with a shorter than normal tunic. I was surrounded by girls whose dresses didn’t even cover their asses. Lesson learned: leggings are only one step classier than walking around naked.
2) Luckily, I choose and pay for all my own clothing as a working adult in a large city and I still choose not to wear leggings as pants (and I even get called fashionable fairly often).
3) I’m tall and a size 2 and I think leggings are horribly unflattering e.g. leggings most likely look terrible on you as well.
If you want to wear leggings on the UIUC campus, go right ahead. I understand the need for comfort over style in college. However, remember that in a real city (where the majority of the population is not between 18 and 22), leggings are truly and understandably silly looking.
Amen! I have yet to see a girl who actually CAN pull off these leggings on their own unless they’re a size 0 or a professional trainer. And I have tried leggings, but I wear them under clothes cuz I’d like to show some decency to my classmates. There are so many other fashion alternatives to show off your bodies that don’t include revealing your ass, which no one wants to see, at least not on the quad in the day
Girls, learn how to dress yourselves and flatter your figures
but this website is clearly attacking COLLEGE girls who are wearing them and in fact demands pictures only come from the college habitat.
also, just because your “tall and size 2′ does not mean you have a nice ass. perhaps that’s why you cant pull off the leggings look.
Look, I’m a massive powerlifter with a ginormous gut, and sometimes I stop at the convenience store on the way home with shorts and an Under Armour, no tank or sweatshirt. I know it’s not the most attractive sight in the world, but my arms are big enough that no one will talk shit to me.
These girl’s with the Tanning Uniform, let’s be honest, that’s what you’re wearing when you go fake baking, think the same thing. “I’m cute enough to pull this off.” Well enjoy the comeuppance, cause that’s what this is. You wanna all be on the same fashion team, expect us to ridicule you. And being that it’s at UIUC, some of these cornfed cuties are no better than me and my meaty midsection. Just wait until a pic of you pops up here and you find out your junk in trunk looks more like ham in the landfill.
Can I get a WITness from the CONgreGATION!!
your an idiot.
Amen, brother.
who cares
Basically this site makes sense because people who wear tights as pants are revealing more than any other type of pant would normally reveal.
Do jeans/slacks/sweats/wool trousers/khakis/skirts/dresses etc. show every movement of your entire butt? Do they expose every curve and dimple? Do they, especially when worn too tight (and thus, stretched across one’s butt to an unimaginable state), show everyone walking behind them exactly what their underwear looks like?
I can tell you’re wearing a thong…and i can see your butt being flossed. Also, I can see your white bikini briefs through your BLACK leggings.
Just because they are dark material doesn’t mean I can’t see everything about your butt.
It’s also ridiculous because they used to be worn all the time. UNDERNEATH other things like dresses.
TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS
Im a dude, I find it COMPLETELY pathetic that you started a website designated for this. I would be worried that the university would find out about this and possibly take action being that you are using the University of Illinois name in a pathetic way. Not only that but you have pictures of people posted without their consent. If I was female and found my body on here you had better believe that there would be legal action taken. If you spent this much time on actually pursuing a female in person you might actually get a piece of ass rather than have to start a website designated for it
Legal action? Are you serious? These girls are walking around IN PUBLIC with their asses hanging out! There’s no expectation of privacy when you’re walking to class. If you don’t want your ass on the internet, then don’t show it to strangers.
Tru dat. You’re already showing it to 40,000+ people at the university (plus the general public). The law is as you have stated.
To those of you running uiucnopants, whoever you are, this site is dope. And yes, I said dope. As a woman who graduated from Illinois WAY BACK in 2006, I must say I’m glad to finally see a Web site devoted to our collective lack of fashion sense. As leggings had not quite made a comeback when I was in school, I did not get to commit this particular fashion faux pas and have it commemorated on the Internet, but all of my friends (myself included) rocked the black gaucho pants like they were going out of style. Which in fact, they had before we even discovered them.
Keep up the good work. This site is silly fun, and who couldn’t use more of that in the middle of a dragging workday? And in case you need a little codeword to point out pantsless ladies on the street, a friend of mine shared a perfect little acronym with me: PNO – Pants Not Optional.
Thanks for the laugh
“Collective lack of fashion sense” — what a spot-on description!! You’re right that the nopants is not the first time this has happened collectively — a few years ago, there were fewer nopants and more baggy sweatpants with uggs, and before that the gaucho pants (like you mentioned!) It’s great that you see that collective history of fashion trends reflected in our website idea (when we didn’t even recognize it ourselves!)
Good call on the “PNO” acronym too — we generally just whisper to each other “OMG great nopants at 10-o’clock” but your way is definitely way more stealth.
Justin, you are a female. the painted asses are the perfect excuse to cop a look, chyea
What is the status of leggings worn under skirts?
As far as we’re concerned, totally fine.
Although everyone’s threshold is a bit different, our rule of thumb tends to be, if you could wear the outfit without leggings you can wear the outfit with leggings.
long as no butt cheeks are in sight, i’m fine with it. Visible butt cheeks and visible pantie lines are just awkward and skanky, get some class ladies
In the summer we need to keep this site up with pictures of women in terribly short babydoll dresses. At that point, is it better to wear the leggings or not?
This site is the greatest thing ever…. you should be paid to do this
WE WISH. And thank you
leggings are comfortable and worn by all types of girls… sorority girl, art student, art student who is also a sorority member . Leggings are NOT a “sorority girl thing”, and neither are uggs and fleece jackets. people wear what they want to wear. . . it’s not an attempt to fit in, it’s comfortable for 9 am class and it’s just what they like! stop being so judgmental of peoples’ fashion choices. also, all girls who wear leggings don’t let their asses “hang out”, there IS a way to wear leggings that is tasteful and comfortable, which most people DO. most of the pictures on this site are not inappropriate at all – girls asses are covered by long sweatshirts and shirts. . . and most of the pics here are creepy. please stop.
back off, let people wear what they want to wear! this website is pathetic.
Thanks for the feedback, although we’re not sure how the pictures are both mostly totally appropriate and mostly creepy.
Hello, Just what I was searching for! I was researching articles for our site when I came across your post on ” uiucnopants » About ” which I found on yahoo. We would love you to write for us, if interested. I’ve bookmarked this post for future reference. Nice comments here as well – Cheers from http://www.kidsolo.com
This is the best “fun” local site I have seen to date. Keep on Rockin’ them “NOT PANTS” hahahaa
Peace, ace77man
There a couple of times when you can get away with wearing leggings or tights. The first, and most obvious, is under something long enough you could wear without the leg coverings, if it were warm enough. The only time these type of leg coverings are acceptable to be worn without a covering over them is if you have yet to reach puberty. Preschoolers can always rock the no pants look. Any older than that and you look pretty silly.
So to everyone who loves their no pants, wear what you want but just know, people are looking at you and laughing their properly covered asses off. If that is ok with you, then rock on.
We totally condone preschoolers rocking out with nopants! They are young, let them have their freedom!!
And well said. Nopantsters, we aren’t telling you what to do at all. We are just going to laugh at you. You can laugh at us for wearing pants, if you really want (I mean, why would anyone wear PANTS!?)
I love this site! I live near quite a few sororities and my friends and I frequently look at each other in disbelief over some of the obvious fashion faux pas committed on campus. As a girl who has worn leggings without pants exactly once, I can attest that they are not comfortable, as who is really comfortable while knowing that everyone is looking at your ass hanging out in public? Thank you for creating a place for these girls to see themselves as others see them, perhaps it will be an enlightening experience. I am almost enjoying reading the banter here as much as I did laughing at the photos.
Jen,
Very interesting comment. You’re the first to mention trying this fashion once and rejecting it… before this, we could only have guessed that the world was divided strictly in two, between pantsters and nopantsters!
Also, thanks for pointing out, there is a sacrifice to be made with the ‘comfort’ of nopants: trading the comfort that you are not showing off more than you wanted to for the apparent physical comfort of wearing leggings.
We too find defensive nopantsters and vehement anti-nopantsters’ comments here extremely interesting. Nopants is a lot more polarizing than we originally imagined!
What about Yoga PANTS? clearly pants…but also just as tight in the butt area………………..
Anonymous* oops.
Yeah, based on the tightness these aren’t much better (to wear in public of course, yoga class/in private/whatever is fine)… but a lot of people get very upset when we post anything with a flare at the bottom because it is too pants-like. Yet again we discover that what pants “are” is not a black and white issue…
This could be funny if it were more than just pictures of people wearing leggings with really lame comments. Yes, people wear leggings, you don’t like it, we get it.
Also the whole premise of this site is flawed, as tights are different from leggings (which are in fact, designed to be worn with or without something else).
And yes, I do get the irony of me taking the time to hate on your site just as you’ve taken the time (though quite a bit more) to hate on people wearing leggings.
And no, I have never worn nor considered wearing leggings (or skinny jeans).
You don’t like our website. We get it.
However, you say, “This could be funny if it were more than just pictures of people wearing leggings with really lame comments.”
which begs the question…what would you prefer this blog be? Insightful essays? Traumatic stories about pants?…
Clever comments.
Wedgie alert! Holy crap, are their booties hungry?!!
I just find it hysterical that this is such a huge argument. We have everyone from feminists who think that the act of wearing these leggings/tights/whogivesafuckaboutthenomeclature oppresses them as individuals to douchebags who say, “Don’t try to stop them I get to look at asses hur hur,” not to mention all the pro/anti Greek people. And yet, everyone has such a strong opinion.
As stupid as this site is, it is truly a marvelous social experiment.
There’s literally no way you can explain what this website is about without sounding like a genuinely creepy person.
You’re disgusting.
Go screw yourself for caring THIS much about what other people wear.
^ Especially any desperate-to-prove-how-worldly-they-are ‘nonconformist’ who goes to sleep at night with contentment of knowing how ‘different’ they are from everyone else. The fact that someone wears anything in particular should not lead you to make assumptions about that person’s state of mind, and I pity you IF (some people don’t) you judge women based on whether they are among a large group of females who enjoy this particular style. I don’t care if you like it or not.
The only thing on this page I saw that I agreed with is yes, this is a very interesting social experiment. Still creepy, but interesting.
I was introduced to this site about 2 days ago and I find it to be quite funny and entertaining. I spent some time reading through the comments (though I didn’t read all of them, so my apologies if anything I say is a repeat of a previous post) and I find it silly that some people are getting so bent out of shape about this website. What happened to plain old joking around and poking fun at silly trends? As some girls have already mentioned, I personally wear leggings and I still find this site funny. I don’t wear them unless I have on a long shirt or dress that covers my butt, but I’m not going to judge the girls that wear them as pants (aka, with regular length shirts) some girls are lucky to have the figure to do so. BUT STILL, I don’t view this site as passing judgment, it’s just FUNNY…I mean, really, think about that concept- leggings as pants? It’s funny. And to those of you who keep saying “leggings are pants” sorry but no. If they were pants, then they wouldn’t go by a separate name of “leggings.”
However, I do need to mention this to the site’s administrator: you should choose your pictures wisely- make sure if these leggings offenders are truly “nopants.” Wearing leggings under a dress or long shirt does not qualify as “nopants” because there is something to cover their rear. If a girl wore a dress with NO leggings, would you post her picture and claim “nopants?” I think you see what I mean here
Just a little tip- stick to true nopantsers- those who wear leggings AS pants, not as just leggings.
But all in all, keep up the good humor! I like it!
This site must be run by a fat chick who wishes they looked as good as most of the girls in the pictures here. Girls wearing tights is the best new trend ever.
Funny site! Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it’s interesting how defensive people are feeling about their nopants. I think the issue here is that the fashion trend is too fresh for some. In a few years, we’ll all have no problem laughing at this. Perhaps since people are wearing them presently, they feel more like it is a personal attack, whereas looking back at hilarious things like huge scrunchies or gauchos feels more like a collective kind of thing. Either way, this is an entertaining experiment!
Leggings became an issue for me in high school when one of our local land-whales wore them every-single-day.
The only girls I’ve ever talked to who have managed to pull them off are the girls who actually get to the gym and workout – and I’m not talking just running on a treadmill – I’m talking a full workout, including squats.
If girls are using leggings as a mating device, congrats, I guess. You’re managing to draw in some of the shadiest, creepiest guys around.
In Iowa City, if you don’t want to end up spreading HPV around, the best piece of advice I have is to avoid the ones with the leggings.
my question involves working out in leggings. People have been doing that for years, so should that be a fashion no-no when its been around for nearly 30 years? or is it okay just like how it’s okay for volleyball players to wear spandex when they play volleyball. I understand the people who have no purpose whatsoever to wear leggings can be judged, but this is a matter of what people wear to work out.
Confuzzled: Our opinion is that working out in nopants is fine — it’s the gym, normal fashion rules do not apply. It’s sort of how you would wear a bikini at the beach, but not to a business meeting. Feel free to wear nopants while exercising! Of course, there are plenty of alternative workout clothes as well that can be just as comfortable (people go running in baggy shorts every day, and yoga is doable even without the coveted yoga pants).
That’s our opinion, anyway!
