Thank you for the input, everyone. I appreciate those who actually gave me good feedback. My apologies to everyone else, didn't know it would upset that many people, honestly.
For whatever reason, if you want to see the original thread here it is:
[spoiler]I know, I know, probably the worst topic to have a debate over. But it's kind of an issue for people like me who enjoy wearing it because they're comfortable and almost hassle-free and I'd like to get your opinion on what you think about them.
Contrary to men's(and some women's) beliefs, not all of us wear leggings/yoga pants to show off. Pants are annoying and if it wasn't for public indecency most of us would rather go without wearing such travesty on our legs. Jeans are a pain to wear in the summer, booty shorts work but burn our legs when sitting down. To us, pants are literally leg prisons and almost if not as annoying as wearing bras(that's for another topic I won't go into here).
[url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/228604440?sort=0&page=0]If you read my previous thread,[/url] you'll remember that my workplace recently banned leggings from being worn on casual Fridays, where coworkers get to wear whatever they want to work. We've had guys come to work in gym shorts and one time even swimming trunks. Yeah. But no, no leggings. It's a "distraction to the work environment."
Airlines are banning them too, if I'm not mistaken. I think two girls were removed from a United flight because they were wearing leggings. And I get called a s*** all the time for wearing them even to the grocery store. It's not fair that we can't wear something comfy just because guys can't stop staring or because they don't want their kids exposed(I've had a mother tell me that, not even joking).
Also, leggings and yoga pants are different. Yoga pants are active-wear that can be worn standalone. I think those get the most criticism because unlike leggings they usually aren't worn under a dress or a long shirt.
How do you feel about yoga pants/leggings? Do you think it's fair for my workplace to ban them? I know this seems like a silly topic but I'd like to get everyone's honest opinion, if possible.
Thank you :)
[b]Edit: Just wanted to make something clear. I'm talking about Casual Fridays at work. Yes leggings/yoga pants are not professional and I wouldn't wear them in a professional setting either. But Casual Fridays are supposed to be just that-- casual. I'm only annoyed because guys are allowed to wear swimming trunks and gym shorts but we can't wear leggings/yoga pants because they're "distracting." Might as well just ban Casual Fridays altogether lol.[/b][/spoiler]
