Are leggings ever going to go away? In this lifetime? I don’t think so. I can remember being a little girl and dressed by my mom and even then I was wearing bright colored leggings with big shirts and Minnie Mouse sweaters. Granted, this was not too long ago but it was a good 20 years ago. Today, leggings are still being sported by celebrities, everyone in all different body shapes, and even on the runway.

Plain and simple, leggings do not flatter everyone. Yes, I agree celebrities and the women that pair the right top to go with the ultra tight stems do look great. This trend has gone way too far and has been overused.

We have all had our fair share of leggings but do we like seeing the wrong women in them? They are comfortable and maybe suitable for around the house but spandex with a top that barely covers their bottoms is not acceptable. No one likes to see muffin tops if they don’t have to, let alone permanent wedgies.

Men in leggings? These pictures are from the 2007 collection of Marni but it is a good example of how far this trend is really going. You don’t want your boyfriend wearing these in public.
