    Men in lycra and women in 'leggings' - no matter what the situation they can never be appropriate attire can they? Noooooooo. My dear dafter even had the temerity to go for a walk with me on the Downs wearing leggings with see through calf panels.. what?!! Why?!! You wear something that focuses others' attention to places that should not be attended upon. Surely they are aware of this? I'd love to see one of those eye tracking videos in a pub where people attired in such a manner frequent.

    Unless its a place where it's important to show respect ... eg a place of worship, a court of law etc I don't really see that it's up to me to tell anyone else what to wear ... and what's wrong with showing her calves whilst out walking? 😵 .... she might have been wearing shorts and revealed her thighs ....... even I have been known to bare my ankles in public from time to time 😱

    No, it was legging with see-through panels - as if the leggings weren't bad enough in their own right. If I'd turned up in lycra shorts she'd have had a fit - that's assuming I could have levered my extended stomach into the shorts in the first place.
    And as for you...showing your ankles in public. Hussy.

    I think leggings are fine for casual as long as they're worn with a top/tunic that's long enough to cover up wobbly bits. I wouldn't have worn them in the office though. Working at home now - no-one can see what I've got on from the chest down :D.

    I'm happy to cover up/disguise my own wobbly bits ... but if someone else has the self-confidence to acknowledge the existence of their own flabby/wobbly bits with pride, who am I to tell them to disguise them? just because I find them aesthetically displeasing?

    My mother once said that she chose her clothes so that she would 'merge with the background because she didn't want to be judged'.......... how very sad ...... she was a beautiful woman.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    It's no joke trying to get lycra shorts off a bloke in A&E who has been injured in a cycle race, believe me, I have done it!
