As these events have started to unravel I find the banning of leggings unnecessary, since they have become a crucial component of female fashion.
Yes, some girls aren’t as responsible as they should be when trying to look presentable in leggings. However, it’s possible to find decent, affordable
leggings that keep everything covered and modest. I’ve even found some at Target.
I use leggings for comfort, and a style staple, so why should I be punished because other girls don’t want to do the same?
Leggings have become critical for girls’ wardrobes– much like the white t-shirt. Leggings are something girls can focus their outfit around, or
be used almost like accessories, tying an outfit together. With the banning of leggings, girls are left with primarily two options to cover their bottom
half as winter comes around; it’s impossible to make sweatpants look nice, and jeans begin feeling repetitive in a girl’s wardrobe.
Personally, I dread the colder months in the year when thinking about putting on a pair of jeans. Jeans are not comfortable on certain body types; mine just
so happens to be one of them. I hate sitting in jeans, I hate shopping for jeans, I hate jeans. Leggings can move with my body; not strain against it like jeans do.
It’s also nice knowing that a certain pair of leggings can fit a variety of sizes, whereas jeans conform to one numbered size– a number that can haunt you for the long cold months if it’s greater than you wish.
The leggings ban needs to be readjusted. It may not be as easy to see, but for some girls, the ban is causing a lot of unnecessary stress when thinking about the
cold months ahead.
