Mom-ninja. Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 My opinion is that leggings do not equal pants. I think of leggings as thick tights. So when worn (yes I wear them) then the top worn with them need to come down far enough to cover crotch and behind. That's what I would tell my ds if he wore leggings. However, if he didn't want to follow that fashion rule on purpose then that's his choice. I would just wear a button that says, "I did not dress him." :lol: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink and Green Mom Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 When I was in high school it was popular for girls to wear long thermal underwear with men's boxers. LOL And I mean real men's boxers. Saggy butt, opening in the front. Oh dear God, I remember that. My parents would only allow me to sport that look around the house if no one was coming over. The only legging type pants I have seen on boys around here are compression pants worn under huge basketball shorts. On the basketball court only.

zoobie Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm surprised by how many people say they wouldn't let a kid out in leggings as outerwear ever. I guess I feel like you have to pick your battles and I can't imagine picking this one. Leggings cover everything. But, also, I don't believe in enforcing some sort of modesty culture, so there's that... The leggings I disallow as standalone outerwear are basically tights and therefore underwear, not outerwear. I wouldn't let my kids walk around in actual tights with nothing covering his or her underpants. I wouldn't let them walk around in just underpants either. I'm not a modesty culture person or religious at all, but cover thy underpants is a family commandment. I'm not talking about athletic (or "athletes" like myself rocking the yoga pants when I'm merely stretching to pick up dirty socks and toddlers) bottoms that are opaque and meant to be worn without another layer. I would tell my daughters to put some clothes on if they tried to wear a leotard or swimsuit to the movies, but I wouldn't care if they wore yoga pants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Strawberry Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I don't really care. I didn't know this was a thing. I know it's wrong, but I wear leggings as pants. It's cold, I'm forever crawling on the floor with my kids, I don't own or wear pants, and I don't care. Not only did I wear the boxers-as-shorts, we handled the saggy butt problem by rolling the waist. I paired mine with tank tops, no bra and no panties. So pretty much I was wearing underwear in public. Nice. But it was the nineties, and that was a thing. My parents did say something, but I was in college, technically an adult, and I dressed myself. All the girls were doing it. I even travelled internationally with only one or two dresses as real clothes. I would my mother would have helped me pack a little more actual clothing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanaqui Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I figure that by the time the kid is in their teens, nobody blames me for their clothes. If the fashion is ripped jeans or pants above the ankle, nobody tsks and assumes I can't buy new clothes. If the kid wants to dress in some super outre style, that's on them. So I'd say that as long as the clothing fits minimal standards of decency, is clean, and is weather appropriate, life is waaaaay too short for me to spend time arguing with my kids over clothes. Mind, if the clothing reeks and will give my child frostbite because it's really exposing most of their privates, then I'll put my foot down. I reserve the right to breach this rule for unusual circumstances such as going to a funeral, going to a wedding, or feeling that orange stripes and purple plaid is a combination that should never exist. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leggings cover, everything, yes. Often they outline everything, and I do mean everything, too. I don't think it's trying to enforce a modesty culture to have a general agreement that people don't want to see the outline of a guy's member, and its accompanying dangly bits, or the slit of a girl's front-butt.

OnMyOwn Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I would have a hard time letting my son go around wearing leggings with nothing over them. I can't even imagine that, really. Gives me a bit of a chuckle to think of it. But, I wouldn't want my dd wearing leggings without a long top, either. I am having trouble getting used to the new fad of wearing just leggings. People seem overexposed to me when they do that, like they forgot to put on some of their clothes. I'm okay when they are worn with a long top. That seems normal to me. Now, would I forbid it? I don't know and I hope I never find out. Lol! I'm not really the forbidding type, but man, I cannot imagine showing up in public or even to my parents house with my kids dressed like that. I might have to just drop them off without me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV. That is what I was going to say but stopped myself. So I'm glad you said it. Appropriateness of dress and/or modesty are not just about not showing skin. At the pool once, I saw a girl wearing a skintight neck-to-ankle swimsuit for modesty. (I assume modesty because of the dress of the female adult accompanying her.) But the outline of her body was just as obvious as that of the girls wearing tank suits. I assume that fit her family's/culture's modesty standards but it really was no different from the girls in typical swimsuits except in the amount of skin showing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Wearing clothes that are weirdly tight is a separate faux pas from leggings, which, in and of themselves are usually fine. I mean, sure, sometimes they're sheer or worn in a weird way that makes me groan, but I could say that about T-shirts or jeans or skirts or other things. I have zero issue with my boys going out in "girls' clothing" so there's also that. If they want to dress in clothes deemed "girl clothes" that's up to them. When they were little they both did. Now, other that ds's leggings, which is really mostly about dance for him, they don't. But if they decided to don dresses again, whatever. One of my ds had a little purple shirt with a sparkly heart and cap sleeves that he wore to death in kindergarten. He wouldn't be caught dead in it now, but all things come back around. If he changed his mind, that'd be okay. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tess in the Burbs Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 ok why would a girl want her boyfriend to wear women's leggings? I can't get past that. I personally don't like the one gender clothing revolution currently happening in our stores. I can't find a real blue shirt for my son. It's a heather blue and looks girly. I don't care if someone wants to be transgender, but why is this tiny % of the population causing stores to ditch boy/girl sections and produce only clothing that is feminine? I let my kids pick their own clothes. But I would have to draw the line at a boy wearing women's leggings b/c his girlfriend wants him to. If he wanted to on his own I might explain how the world is going to react and let him decide.

AK_Mom4 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Eh.... I wouldn't care. Air Force kid would not be likely to run around in leggings in public, but he does have compression tights as part of his flight suit (and he rocks them!) and we had a hilarious discussion at Christmas about the proper way to get tights on without messing them up. DS20 doesn't care about his clothes At.All. So would be unlikely to put the effort into wearing leggings. He has worn tights on stage as part of costumes, so it wouldn't be impossible if leggings were super comfortable and as easy to put on as his old pair of jeans. And I personally rocked the tights and long sweater with low boots look yesterday at a work meeting. I looked good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am telling you what I would do with MY boys. Though I can't picture any of the three wanting to wear leggings unless MDS wore them with shorts I suppose...I could see him doing that. I would, however, insist he buy them in the men's/boy's department and wear shorts over them to cover his boy bits.
