A Fashion statement?!

It’s time for me to put my fashion cap on, I know folks, you are all excited about this one and can’t wait to hear my pearls of wisdom. Well may I disappoint you no longer.

There are some fashion crazes that I accept, for example, bringing back the reebok pumps a little while ago, converse allstar’s as well, vintage looking clothing. All of these trends I can accept. Off the top of my head I can’t think of any others at the moment, I am sure you can but I would differ with you.

Now let’s talk about a craze that does not seem to be going away and its complete shit….leggings. Leggings are something that are meant to be worn under other clothing. They keep ladies’ legs warm, if a lady can’t be arsed to shave their legs for a couple of days, they stop eagle eyed passers-by noticing, they are a source of comfort. Where has this ‘fashion’ as it were come from, to just wear leggings and nothing else? Let me tell you now, from a fella’s point of view, it doesn’t look good. again some may disagree, but they are wrong! It just looks like you really couldn’t be bothered to get dressed this morning, fine no problem, we all have those lazy days where we grab the first thing out the drawer, but far too many people wear them to use that as an excuse.

It also strikes as arrogant, a ‘look at me’ statement. I accept they may very well be comfortable, but for god sake wear something over them. If a man was walking along in just his boxers or speedos then they would get very quizzical looks. Let me tell you, boxers are very comfortable, putting jeans over the top makes it less so, as these lead to horrendous situations such as chaffing and wedgies (that are very hard to get out when in jeans). People wouldn’t think it acceptable if all of a sudden men started doing this, so why is it a fashion for women to? That’s right men I am fighting for us!! (there will be many more occasions where I do so).

Some women then further exasperate the awful look by then wearing big old knickers under the leggings. In case you hadn’t realised you are wearing skin tight trousers, it doesn’t look good to start with so giving yourself a massive VPL just screams TWAT. Obviously everyone can see it, NASA get reports of astronauts complaining about the VPL in shopping centres, it is that glaringly obvious.

This leads me to a further point, the beached whale. Now I am no oil painting. At 27 I have the hairline of a 44 year old, I am not 0% body fat chiselled muscle, but I do know what makes me look half decent. Why, if you have to jump up to get your jeans on, do you think it is acceptable to go out in these rank leggings and only the rank leggings. You see it everywhere. It is the fashion so they have to do it, please for the love of everything holy don’t!!! When they bend over the fabric is stretched so far that the normally black leggings go pretty much see through, it’s just wrong on some many different levels.

Finally, ladies, if you are wearing said leggings and a guy looks at your arse, you do not have a leg to stand on. If you didn’t want to be looked at then you wouldn’t be wearing them!!!! That is the thought for today, tune in tomorrow for something else. Laters
