I swore I would never buy jeggings but pretty much everyone I know has at least one pair. On casual Fridays they look like they fit so nicely into boots so I broke down a bought a pair. I went out with friends for dinner and a movie last night and wore them. They do fit perfectly into my boots and they’re skin-hugging so you can’t really wear underwear with them. As soon as I stepped outside I realized I was stupid sexy Flanders. “like I’m wearing nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all…” ---

I like leggings a lot. I don’t quite see the point of jeggings since my skinny jeans do the same thing, basically. And yeah, they’re great in boots. I hope this trend lasts a while. I missed leggings. ---

Not only does it feel like you’re wearing nothing at all, it looks like it too! Especially when the wearer hasn’t got undies on! Though I wouldn’t be caught wearing them in public, I’m coming around to admiring the confidence of women who wear them like they’re pants. Pretty brave really, in my eyes! ---

Pretty brave really, in my eyes! I admit I felt pretty darn self conscious at first but eventually I forgot about them. Probably because it felt like I was wearing nothing at all! ---

A thong works with them. I wear jeggings or leggings almost every day in the winter. Sometimes I put on leg warmers with them. So comfy. ---

I’ve been living in them on the weekends, usually with a long sweater. I consider them a variation on sweatpants-- perfect for home, acceptable for quick errands, but otherwise not really for wearing around in public. ---

Leggings and jeggings are good with tunics and shift dresses. You can’t wear leggings of any variety with a top that doesn’t cover your butt, though. ---

Like leggings and jeggings all you want. I’ve come to accept that no amount of me hating them will change that. However, I have to take a moment to remind everyone that t[ights are not pants](http://tightsarenotpants.com/). ---

Wait - you start off naked then put on jeggings that cost $30+ so that you can feel like you have nothing on? I think I’ve spotted a superfluous step or two in that process. I didn’t get LEAN certified for nothing! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/feels-like-im-wearing-nothing-at-all/710182.md?page=2)
