Leggings are not pants, they're stretchpants ver2. Even when they were more modest in fabric and cut and had "pants" in the name, they still weren't considered acceptable as pants and had the nickname of "[insert cold location here] tights". Tights and nylons aren't very warm, shred like tissue paper and the feet can be annoying, so go fucking nuts with stretchpants and leggings under your dresses, skirts and even shorts. But holy shit stop pretending that those semi-underwear garments are actual pants. The "yoga pants" were bad enough and it's well past time to knock this skanky shit off. They're all just footless, cold weather tights.
Sincerely,
Every rejecter of THOTtery
