The 90s scream NO!!!

This has to stop.






Now far be it from me to start being a fashionista. I don't have the greatest taste in clothes, as I'm more of a practical woman that buys things she needs rather than what she wants because it's all pretty and shiny. But this has gone on for far too long....



and I truly believe it has to be stopped.

There was a time I used to wear leggings, once. It was called the 90s and it looked a little something like this:



That's the reality of the situation.

Leggings make you look like a...hmmmm..how can I say this...a dip shit.

Take this for instance:




I don't see any reason to wear this unless I woke up one morning to find that I had a super power and an extreme sense of justice.

And if this isn't enough to make you see the ridiculousness of the situation...



I don't know what is.

"But surely what we see on the cat walk can not possibly walk through the actual streets in broad day light" I hear you think.

Dear reader, I regret to inform you that it has. People of all ages, races, and genders, are opting to don their leggings from outside the gym and into everyday life. My sister, bless her dear little cotton socks, is one of these culprits. I cringe every time she walks out the door in a gorgeous top and these disgusting grey leggings. And just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, I was riding the tram into the city to be confronted with a man wearing black leggings, which were low in the crotch, paired with a blue soldiers blazer. And this wasn't a young boy who's just finished high school and is expressing his new found university freedom and individuality, this was a grown MAN.

IN HIS THIRTIES!!!



ALSO CARRYING A SATCHEL!!!!!


Like I said, far be it from me to judge what it is a person chooses to wear for the day, but I'll leave you with this:

You go out looking like a clown, people are going to laugh.
