Apparently the only time it’s acceptable to wear them is in the comfort of her own home.
Oregon mother Veronica Partridge has publicly declared that she has stopped wearing leggings as pants in public.
Not because of fashion. Not because she was tired of living the pretend-workout- lie that comes with wearing sports gear to a cafe. But because she doesn’t want to “entice” men other than her husband.
Sweety. Honey. Baby.
They’re leggings. They’re not nipple tassles. You’re not dancing around a pole in heels.
You’re wearing stretchy, elastic waisted pants. If you’re anything like us, they were $9 from Big W. They have pilling. And cat hair. And they are the furthest thing from arousing.
The American blogger wrote this post about her Very Important Pant-Related Decision, which she says is not strictly a campaign against leggings as pants but a personal choice not to encourage “lustful thoughts” from other men.
Veronica ‘Why I chose to no longer wear leggings’ Partridge explains how, when talking with friends, the divisive topic of leggings-as-pants came up:
The conversation was about leggings and how when women wear them it creates a stronger attraction for a man to look at a woman’s body and may cause them to think lustful thoughts.
She asked her husband Dale who, in his blessed honesty, told her it’s hard not to look at women who wearing leggings.
He told me, “yeah, when I walk into a place and there are women wearing yoga pants everywhere, it’s hard to not look. I try not to, but it’s not easy.”
Partridge says she made the ” personal vow” to no longer wear thin, form-fitting yoga pants of leggings in public.
The only time it’s acceptable to wear them is in the comfort of her own home.
WHATTTT. YOU WEAR PANTS AT HOME?
