Re: When did leggings and yoga pants replace actual pants in
I think there's a difference between leggings and jeggings. Jeggings are usually made from a thicker material that doesn't become see-through and helps smooth down some of the less flattering parts of a woman's legs. They're a lot more like skinny jeans than leggings/tights. I don't have the figure for them, but I don't think they look bad on women who do, especially tucked into boots like qtiekiki showed. I was specifically referring to leggings or tights (not jeggings or skinny jeans) when I said they're not pants!
Yoga pants...I can see both sides of the issue. I've been known to wear a sweatsuit out at times (specifically on the way to my favorite massage place and back), so I can see how yoga pants would be similar. I think if you're going to the gym or something, all bets are off and you can wear whatever you're working out in. No point in changing just for the ride/walk to the gym and back.
