Stitch Meggings

Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

Unfortunately in more places than you want to imagine. It's definitely a low-rent choice and most of the women who make that choice ... you really wish they hadn't. No matter how "lonely" you may be.

Social norms aren't changed by Congress or Parliament; they're changed by a sufficient number of people ignoring the existing ones and publicly practicing new ones.

I see women wearing leggings or sports tights with nothing else on the bottom, but those aren't see-through.

Did you actually mean skin-tight? Or do you actually find women running around in just t-shirts and pantyhose?

I haven't seen pantyhose, top and nothing else. I have seen a number of women wearing what had to have been either thin tights or heavy hose and a top. Can't recall whether or not there was anything under the tights; didn't feel inspired to look that closely.

That sums it up perfectly. Had the presentation been compelling, or at least interesting, the reaction I suspect would have been rather different.

Often times, clothing that contains spandex for stretching capabilities is total opaque when not stretched. However, if one stretches it to its full capacity, it can become somewhat see-through.

Sadly, yes I have seen such garments worn by women who were "filling the garment to its capacity" and rendering the garment somewhat see-through.

Would that involve yoga class with lots of women in their twenties?

And then people suggest yoga to relax ...
