Now this is every woman's favorite street fashion style. Who doesn't like clothes that I think are both comfortable and good-looking? However, there has been a lot of discussion online recently about whether women should wear yoga apparel, and today we're going to dive into it.

Why Do People Make Negative Comments About Women Who Wear Yoga Pants And Leggings?

Over the past few years or so, I keep hearing people hate women who wear yoga pants, bodysuits, and leggings outside the gym. You'll hear judgmental people say things like "they just want attention" or "they're lazy." Have you heard similar things from women who don't wear them, or have misconceptions about why women wear leggings?

Ladies and gentlemen, there seems to be some major disconnect about why women wear yoga pants and leggings and what some people think.

This is not an article to explain why women have the right to wear leggings, because anyone can wear whatever they want. This is to share the reason.

Especially we working moms, pregnancy and postpartum; we all have different but similar reasons for why we should wear yoga pants. They seem to be the 'bun' of clothing, women like to put their hair up and forget about it, and people can't stand looking at buns.

Men and women of judgment, look up - we don't care what you think - stop sexualizing everything. We also don't wear leggings or yoga pants for your pleasure or to make any statement. As you read, you will find that attracting attention is the least of our concerns.

For the purposes of this article, I use yoga pants, bodysuits, and leggings interchangeably—for the most part, I'm talking about fitted pants.

I've talked to many women, mostly moms and working women, about their preferences and why they wear it. I haven't spoken to teens or women in their early 20s, so this doesn't reflect their opinion.

I also read other articles (negative and positive), read opinions on social media, and basically popped up in the world of leggings to research this article. So, read on for some of the common rules women who wear leggings follow, and nine real reasons why women wear leggings outside the gym.

This becomes real.

Yes, we do have unspoken rules for wearing leggings outside the gym
Most women I interviewed follow some rules when it comes to wearing leggings.

The first rule is: don't wear see-through. Some companies are making pants so thin that bending over will bring your hips on full display!

All the working moms I've interviewed say they stay away from sheer, most opting for the cotton spandex type. If they have a transparent pair, it's not intentional - they just don't realize it. It can happen, it's like punching a hole in your jeans - you probably won't realize it until someone tells you.

Another rule that most women follow is not to wear them at work if they work in a professional office environment. Although, some women will wear leggings-like outfits specifically for the office.

It's a different story for women who have active jobs where they squat, bend and move throughout the day. They say it's perfectly appropriate and that wearing other types of clothing will make their job harder. The work environment plays an important role in acceptance.

Many stay-at-home moms say they live, eat, and sleep in leggings because moving in is the most natural thing for them and chasing their kids all day.

For many women who find trousers too revealing, they opt for long shirts when going out in public. A long shirt can make them feel more confident, and they can still wear leggings when they go out. But most women don't feel that way and don't care if they wear long shirts - they'll wear them anyway.

stop!
One thing all the moms I've talked to agree on is that people should stop themselves before making assumptions and judging them based on what they're wearing. The consensus among most women is that people, especially men, should shut up when they dress because it's none of their business.

Let me tell you, this is beyond a trend, it's women's clothing today. So expect to see more women out and about wearing them.
