Anyone can tell you that I am EXTREMELY against wearing leggings as pants. I fully believe that the general crotch region should always be covered, even if you have the best body in the world. If the pants you are wearing do not have pockets, then yes, they are leggings. One of the reasons I believe this so much is because I have seen the horrific images of wearing leggings as pants, and not just in Walmart. What some people don’t realize is that in certain lighting, EVERYONE can see your underwear! Not a good look. So you may be asking yourself, “but Blaire, you are wearing pants as leggings in this very post!” Yes, I am breaking my own rule. I would like for this tunic to be a bit longer. It does technically cover the front and it definitely covers my rear, but if I were to raise my arms up, you would see errrrrrything!!! I am currently shopping around for a longer white tunic. I can’t quite find what I am looking for, because the stores are all offering tank tunics at the moment. If you have any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it. The next time I wear this, I will be wearing my black denim instead or even these!

I COMPLETELY agree with you! Leggings are not pants. I will rock leggings all the time but NEVER with a shirt that doesn't cover the front and the back. I've seen way too many girls rocking the leggings with shorter shirts only to not realize when you bend over I can see everything… not a good look!

I'm with you on that one, leggings are not pants. How fab is this look, I need a camel jacket so that I can recreate it.

I totally agree that leggings are not pants! It should be simple but for some reason it is hard t find a shirt that is legging friendly! Sometimes I layer a longer tank under the sweater or top to make it long enough.

I think you did the leggings as pants look very well!!! I love the outfit girl! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
totally agree with you!!!
I completely agree! No one needs to see what's going on up front:) I LOVE leggings but like everything perfectly covered and don't think they should be worn as pants! No pockets, no pants. You look stunning! Have a great weekend!

I usually feel the exact same way you do about leggings as pants, but this is such a chic look! I am still loving those OTK boots!

It depends for me because really thick leggings can work as pants. I say if you can potentially have camel toe say no! and wear a longer shirt . haha

Haha! Camel toe! I was just waiting for that to come up! Love it.

Haha I completely agree with you, although I likewise find myself breaking the rule every now and then ๐ Great look, love the jacket!

Love those boots! I agree with you, I have the pixie pants/leggings from J.Crew and even though they are extremely thick, even thicker than some of my jeans, I feel weird wearing them with a shorter shirt because they don't have any pockets! Have a great weekend ๐

Yessssss this is my same rule!!! If legginigs are worn the whole area need to be covered, just incase of a mishap hahah! Buttttttt they are nice spanx legginigs so you can totally get away with it and this whole outfit is so fabulous! I mean those boots!!!

Okay, so as a college girl, I think it's okay if I wear leggings as pants! Lol! I am a firm believer that you have to be wearing a long enough tunic to cover all of your bits, though. Have a good (relaxing in leggings) weekend!

THOSE BOOTS!! I love love them!!
This whoe outfit is awesome… I love the jacket and the boots the most, but the under layers of black and a pop of white make me love the simple look even more!! Cute jewelry, too! I'm checking out the J Crew bracelet ๐

I definitely agree with you, but I this top works perfectly fine with leggings! Black, white and camel look soo good together, and I'm still swooning over those boots!

I'm don't mind leggings as pants as long as one wears a longer top. I like this outfit on you. I actually thought you had on skinny jeans until you said they were leggings. Have a great weekend!

LOVE your look with the gorgeous boots and the color of your leather jacket. I am not a leggings wearer at all, but totally agree with you, not my fav look on their own.

omg girl, you are too funny!! you look totally fab!! I am with you on this and I was totally just saying the same thing yesterday! I don't wish to see your thong or your camel toe, so if you cant wear real pants, you best be wearing a long top to cover the goodies!! we should do a PSA!!

I usually abide by the no leggings as pants rule.. but you look so fabulous (and completely appropriate) here so I guess it just depends on the look! xx

lol so funny! I am personally with you, I do not feel comfortable if my butt isn't covered when I wear leggings and I also very much with you on the covering up the crotchal area as well. I think you look cute – that shirt comes pretty darn close to being regulation length so I give it a thumbs up! ๐

I couldn't agree more!! Gotta cover up your lady bits, lol. I will stir up even more controversy and talk about wearing yoga pants in public, I think the same rules apply, you need to cover your butt if you're going to roll through the grocery store in those bad boys.

I feel the same way about wearing leggings…which really stinks because I can never find tunics long enough to cover my front area..I am pretty tall with a longer torso so I almost have to buy dresses to wear with leggings. lol!
I'm in total agreement. I hate seeing leggings worn as pants.

I love wearing leggings and honestly, I'd say (especially during the winter/fall) that's pretty much all I wear. HOWEVER, I alwayyyyyys wear a shirt that's long enough to cover the front and back. I do have a couple shirts like yours up above that don't cover it "as well" as I would like, especially when I put my arms up, but usually the only time I wear an outfit like that is if I plan on staying in/at my boyfriends so no one's going to see anything anyway! Love the boots you're wearing, by the way!
Stopping by from Molly's linkup and I'm loving this look. The leather jacket is perfect! I love how you have it layered with the tunic! Let me know if you find one… I need one too ๐
Well, I could not have said it better myself. Leggings should not be worn as pants or if you are wearing them as pants, I advise doing a few yoga moves to see if they are actually see through. Anyways, love Peaches in a Pod ๐
