Woman Rants on about Leggings Not Being Real Pants

We beg to differ. We're big fans of leggings!

Facebook user Jamie Higdon-Randolph's video rant about leggings has gone viral and for good reason. She posted the video to her Facebook earlier this month, and the video's popularity has skyrocketed. The video has been shared on Facebook over 284,000 times and viewed on Youtube over 46,000 times. Hidden-Randolph explains, very bluntly, why she doesn't believe that leggings are pants and that women should stop wearing them as pants.

Here is a little of what she says in the video, thanks to Uproxx:

You can dress ’em up, you can dress ’em down, you can look like a frat girl, or you can look pretty classy in ’em — depending on what you choose to pair with them. [sighs] This morning while tryin’ on my leggings, I couldn’t find my normal leggings, so I had to borrow Mackenzie’s for a hot minute. And I’m like, “Whoops! Mmm nmm. That ain’t gonna work.” So I’m headed to the store right now to get me some other leggings. This is why I’m making this video. Some of you people like to use leggings as britches — as pants pants. That ain’t how they’re supposed to be worn. If you can’t wear a shirt that covers your tail, so I can’t tell that you got some Aztec-print thongs on, you don’t need to be wearin’ ’em.

As a firm believer that leggings are a gift from God, I don't agree with everything that she is saying. Leggings CAN be worn as pants, as long as the material is thick enough that you can't see through them. And even if they are a bit see through, just make sure your top covers your bum. Unless you want to give a show to the world. Then do your thing ladies!
