Leggings Are Pants ;)

My top says a big 'no' but the answer is a big YES.  Leggings are pants! lol!:)
This one has been debated. and i say leggings are pants depending on how you chose to rock them! and they quite fit the description given in the dictionary as (:pant: def:- a bifurcated outer garment covering the body and each leg from waist to ankle :)
Sadly a lot of people don't quite know how to wear them properly according to their body shapes and size hence the grand debate and hullabaloo about it. Thing is that they should be worn with lengthy tops enough to cover down the crotch area  and the bum,or they can be worn with a dress-top that normally goes all the way down to your hips,whatever length you feel comfortable with. This not only makes it look good but you'll also feel comfortable. I haven't done that in my photos but that's only because am in the woods, not walking around town with my bum sticking out. lol! and I deliberately did the black on black so as not to emphasize on the breaking between the top and  the leggings. Generally I'd say leggings do favor petite, medium sized and pear shaped women more than plus size and other shapes.
 I am a huge fan of leggings. black to be precise, got 5 pairs all in the same style with no apologies. and a pink pair that hangs somewhere in my wardrobe hoping to see the light of day someday:)
And i wouldn't forget to mention another mistake often made, leggings are NOT supposed to be transparent for goodness sake! So if they are too tight that you can see through them, am sorry but just don't wear them coz,one, you are going to embarrass yourself and two you'll make people believers of the phrase that leggings are not pants which (once again)is not true. Lastly no panty lines when wearing leggings so get the right underpants for that:/
As long as you do it right, go ahead and Strut in those leggings like a pro!!!! :-D
