Ladies, I think we all can agree that leggings are really pants. If you don’t agree, well then, here are my condolences. And, for all those non-believers out there, I’m here to persuade you once and for all the true calling of your wardrobe’s leggings. If by the end of this article, you’re still not convinced, you either really hate me or you’re a rebel without a cause (in which case, go get ‘em tiger).
1. COMFORT.
This is where the whole idea of leggings as pants began. A while back, some intelligent woman somewhere, who had all her crap together, finally spilled the beans on jeans: they’re the enemy. They’re tight, constricting and just plain uncomfortable. Ready for your knight in shining armor? Say “aloha” to leggings, ladies. Remember that time you wore jeans out to dinner with that handsome guy? And, when you were full, sneakily unbuttoned your pants? Well, not anymore, you don’t. Just wear your favorite leggings (ahem… the pair without the holes in them) with your favorite shirt-dress, and Hark! the Herald Angels sing.
2. EGO.
Guess what? Boys don’t really care if you think your butt looks weird in leggings/ Why, you ask? Because they get to see tight material on your butt. Tight + a female butt + college boys = mind compulsion. You’ll be turning heads walking through Whitehall on Monday morning. Believe it or not, boys don’t even notice that butt dimple you stare at every time you get out of the shower. Trust me, if you’re wearing leggings, you’ll get the “nice butt” award, no matter what. And anyways, who cares if your butt doesn’t look great? Just refer back to number one and that makes it all worth it!
3. VERSATILE.
You know you were thinking it before I had even written it… you can wear leggings with ANYTHING. “Holy crap, I never have to go home and change for the gym anymore!” (if I went to the gym regularly, that is). Think about it: you can put on a t-shirt in the car and you have your gym gear on, ready for your workout. Since you don’t usually get too sweaty at the gym, walking on the treadmill, watching the guys do arm curls from the JC’s second-floor balcony (oh, is that just me?), afterwards, you can put your shirt-dress on again. With your leggings and leather boots, you’re ready for dinner with your girlfriends. Perfect, right?!
4. BEYONCE DOES IT.
This should do the trick for all you non-believers.
