Those leggings look trashy and cheap

Classical fashion doesn't age.

These trends will die soon hopefully.

They are cheap, €7.99 in H&M. Great value!

Can't wait for it to open back up coz I'm down to only one pair at the minute.

Guaranteed if you seen me anyway you'd eat your words & wouldn't even notice I'd a pair of leggings on. Because I know how to dress where the leggings would be the last thing to be noticed, if even noticed at all.

Thats why I wear them, because I can get away with it.

Fully agree. We all judge.

Exactly my point when I started

We do but our judgement also tells a lot about us. There are plenty of clothes I don't like. However how much somebody wearing them actually bothers me tells more about me than them.

It does actually tell a lot about a persons social standing and EQ. These comments would not be tolerated in public.

Lets be honest, if JsyZeus had a position of authority and made those comments in public, he'd be fired.

anewme, I think this bit of the conversation has gone on for a while without getting anywhere, with regards to the points I was making in my replies to you.

I agree with you that someone making those opinions known publicly would lose them social standing, and possibly a job depending on the job.

That's got nowt to do with the points I was making though.
People judge, and not all of those people are wastes of oxegen.
It's very common in Ireland, we're a pass-remarkable lot.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it happens.
You're countering by saying things along the line of 'yeah but it's not nice'.
I agree with you.

Yes being aware that we judge can be a great window into our own prejudices, I fully agree.

Another reason why I think it's best if we could acknowledge the judgements we make, so as to learn from them.

I dont agree.

The world is changing, its about acceptance now, rather than judging.

It's pretty clear from the social environment that diversity is the way forward. The people who think it's ok to judge others on their appearance are a dying breed and are being left behind.

There is a lot less tolerance of intolerance.

Thankfully.

I don't think so. Don’t think judging people on their appearance will ever die out.

I think those views are likely to be proven fairly 'fashionable' in and of themselves. You're arguing that social diversity will somehow result in people being less selective or judgemental when it comes to ones physical appearance, augmented with clothing choices or not, when this simply isn't something that is borne out by human evolution past, present or future.

But you know what, slap on the back there for that high EQ and striving for what you believe to be fair and true. I'll still judge you if you wear yoga pants in public.

On the internet, you can be anything or anyone you want to be.

I'd say our definitions of position of authority are likely to be very different.

JayZeus, don't post in this thread again

Ok great. You think that, and I'll maintain that appearances matter in a lot of contexts, and judgements are made on them.

Job interviews, court appearances, house viewings for rentals, acting and modelling roles, 'influencer' partnerships.

Wear what you like. Wear a fluffy onesie to your interview, view the house you want wearing trackies, go to court in full rave neons.

None of these things 'should' affect you or your life or prospects, because

"The people who think it's ok to judge others on their appearance are a dying breed and are being left behind"

I think it's more a case of what you would like to be, but it's not reality.

They all have lovely bottoms.

The comments here are nothing to do with dressing for the situation or wearing a onesie.

I'm referring here to the comments, that people should only wear what the viewer wants to see.

This thread has nothing to do with dressing up for specifc occasions, it's about fashion in general.

Fashion is not size dependant.

You don't like people judging.. I think I get that.

You're offended that other people have opinions on what they find attractive and unattractive. Ok.

You're mad that people don't find fat attractive, and that they would rather not see someones ass and fupa hanging out of basically see through leggings while in a queue. Ok.

You're entitled to that. I've no idea why I'm engaging with you when you haven't responded to any of my points, but keep bringing in new ones.
We can agree to disagree I hope.

It's not a big issue at any rate, I just have too much free time tonight, sitting on my (fat) ass, dodging exercise and eating crisps is all

JustAThought · 08-02-2021 1:10am

whats with the new baggy leg, elasticated ankle,
high waisted tracksuit with long wool trenchcoat look? Is that the new ‘in’?

Maybe a little bit of mystery and beguiling is more alluring than all over explicit!

Comfort I'd say!
After a cycle of skinny jeans and leggings, pants legs tend to get wider don't they?

Wool coat, baggy trackies and runners is a very practical, warm and comfortable outfit:)

Maybe - but no socks and crop belly top is the other half of this look - its so crafted & I’ve seen it a fair fews time now - and nowhere near a gym!! I think its the new ‘in’!?

Most likely styles picked up from 'street style', fashion weeks and such, propagated on instagram, and then they become ubiquitous.

The 'french tuck' became very popular alongside Queer eye, Tan France is the guy I'd associate with popularising it anyway.
Basically showing off the waist even if wearing baggier clothes

No socks are probably sock liners, invisible socks or whatever.. ankles are 'having a moment' these past few years

Ahh I'd say we polar opposites alright.

If someone does not like anyones fat ass in leggings, ahhh well, it's a pity about them.

I dont believe self worth is size dependant. Wear what you like.

Free time is good though. Enjoy the crisps.

Pity about them indeed. Imagine getting that annoyed about someone else's opinion.

Off to polish off the last smokey bacon in the multipack, damn their eyes

Don't forget, matched with a pair of Fila Disprutor's

I actually really like that look.

I don't wear that style myself, I prefare my own coats to be tailored.

I think that's why I can get away with wearing leggings. It's because I just look like a professional who has thrown on a pair of runners to do some errands & I don't think the leggings are even noticed.

Plus I'm slim so they actually look nice on me, but I wear them more for comfort than for the look.

& not every day either, I'm down to only one pair atm so I've to wear my skinny jeans again :rolleyes:

Gotta agree, am a huge fan of layered comfort based looks, can balance out an oversized top/coat or trousers with some styling, and chunky runners along the lines of the Disruptors are a love of mine, need to get some new ones soon.

(Hankering after some proper platform ones, but I'd break my ankles no doubt!)

I agree with the leggings thing, they're not sloppy in and of themselves, it's how you put them together isn't it.
Practical and not massively noticeable no, unless as already said, they're see through etc. Skinny jeans look good on any size I think, once they fit well.
Finding good leggings, like jeans, is a holy grail thing isn't it

I'm happy enough that I'm never gonna win any best dressed awards, or style nods, have always dressed a bit 'outside of fashion', but if I'm comfortable - I'm automatically gonna be feeling better about everything.

SineadSpears · 08-02-2021 2:02am

When I'm not in a rush I'll wear loafers & as I said, I wear only tailored coats. But sometimes I'll wear the leggings because I want to tone down my look.

Sometimes skinny jeans with loafers & a tailored coat can be a bit much for the day time so the leggings are actually a better option.

Then there's plenty of days especially in the summer, I'll wear a leather coat, leggings lol, a loose t-shirt & maybe converse.

Up the leggings!
