Let's Make This Clear

Okay. We're going to clearly define the rules of leggings. Stone and I have been talking about this for a while, and we are questioned often about the rules. So we decided to just put them out here for all of you, so you know exactly what we mean when we say that leggings are not pants.

Leggings are an accessory, not an article of clothing.

If you cannot wear the outfit without the leggings, the outfit is unacceptable without pants or a skirt.

Leggings and a t-shirt. Do I even have to say this one? That is not a complete outfit.

If you cannot bend over without your full a** showing, then you should not be wearing only leggings. A little bit of butt can be okay I suppose, but this is where the lines get a little bit blurry.

Leggings may be used on an outfit that would be a little risque but perfectly acceptable in the summer to make it warmer and... easier? I don't know what word to use there, but to warm up a summer outfit for winter basically is what I'm trying to say I suppose.

I enjoy wearing them under jeans to keep warm in windy, crappy winter in Laramie.

They are acceptable to hang around your own house in, as long as you don't have company over that you wouldn't allow to see you in your underwear.

At the gym, for a yoga class, I have been known to wear a pair of leggings. They provide good movement and agility since they move with you.

This also segues well into a conversation about yoga pants. They are acceptable in four situations: going to the gym, at the gym, leaving the gym, and hanging around in the privacy of your own home.

If you have any questions about leggings, please post them in comments, but it's best to assume that if you couldn't wear the outfit without the leggings, you shouldn't wear it at all.

Fist pumpin forever,
