I'm new to you channel...2nd visit...l came back for more!😊 For me, at this point, it has come down to my weight. I'm 70, but a young dresser...l met 2 ladies a few weeks ago who looked much older than me, because of their clothes & hair styles! I was shocked to find out we'd attended the same high school...them several years behind me! I was long gone before they were in hs! So, because my weight is up & down 25# every 3 or 4 years, leggings with tunic tops offered me some style that truly hid a big gut/butt! Now lm on the "weigh down"--yay! So l have been wearing jeans & some summer pants l saved for "thinner" days...l was surprised that several old pants fit well right now, & my goal is 15-20# more to lose. Some are capris, which l know you nixed on the 1st video l viewed, but hey...they are a staple. A cpl pairs are very wide leg dress pants, black, to me, very classy. My mom was a very classy, fashionista...black hair, dark complexion, blue eyes (l got the blonder genes...) But her love of fashion & jewelry definitely seeped into my genes. I am not into funky styles l see women putting on on you tube, but hey, there might be some uptown funk in me somewhere. My style is what l like & can fit into at the moment! I do enjoy your comments, tho, & my one cold-shoulder top went into the Good Will box yesterday! So thx & I'll see you again soon...maybe with crop leggings on, which lm wearing now to go out & plant flowers!!!😂🎉😂

Ok, so 51 yr old here...hear me out because I just bought my first pair of Lululemon leggings a few months ago 🙃(my wallet is screaming, "Wear them!") LOL! I wear them with a long, oversized tee when I walk down by the river. I feel comfortable that way. Sometimes, I will wear them when I'm running a bunch of errands, BUT here's the thing, I always wear them with a sweatshirt/tshirt that fully covers my front and butt. I don't feel comfortable otherwise. I don't wear them to get togethers or lunch with friends...only when I'm being very active and am wanting comfort! I also really feel that it's the way that they are styled that makes the difference. I have a feeling that they are here for the long haul because honestly, that's pretty much all I see when I'm out. ETA: I feel that a lot of women wear them because they suck you in and make you feel skinnier that you really are. lol

I will probably continue to wear them in those places, but I never considered them a replacement for real pants in my wardrobe. True confession: there have been a couple of times when I needed to run into the grocery store on my way home from the gym…and I felt self-conscious! To each her own!

I agree with you 100 percent regarding leggings.But I wouldn't even wear them on a road trip.there are more comfortable and stylish clothes I would rather wear now that I am in my fifties. In my opinion leggings are just very thick pantyhose, not stylish at all for any age.

Agreed. So many better options.

I was watching KZread in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner and couldn't wait to get done to check the input on this one on my laptop! I agree. There is a time and a place for everything and apparently there are too many who think leggings are for every place.

I'm wearing leggings right now. They are faux leather black with a long oversized white button of top that covers my rear end and thigh. I like them on chilly days when I'm going to be in the car for many hours. I love the wide leg trend too and I have some the wide leg pants. I also have jeans with a lot of stretch. Neither of them are as comfortable as sitting in the car in a pair of leggings.

I wear leggings everyday but my body type looks best in them! I have tried other pants and jeans but they make me look twice the size! I think we all have to do what works for us!

I still love my leggings. They are an every day staple for me. I have ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia so I am all for the comfort. That being said I also wear jeans and regular pants, it just depends on the occasion and what I'm doing. What you won't find me in are palazzo pants or any style with all that extra fabric. I find them very uncomfortable and they make me feel fat. Personally I think everyone should just wear what they look and feel the best in. I have always enjoyed finding out about style trends and what is in or out, but I've never necessarily followed all that in my own wardrobe. My style has definitely evolved over time. I really enjoy your videos because you have such a great sense of humor. I always come away with info to think about and a smile. Thanks.

I wear black leggings at least once a week and style them with an oversized sweater, long white shirt or chambray shirt. I think for mature women there are ways to style leggings that look put together and stylish. My leggings are good quality ones and not from Walmart. I'm not giving them up anytime soon.

I just have never felt comfortable wearing leggings except to workout! I am not overweight, but because I’m short, I do not choose leggings as my go to pants for going out! I chose something just as controversial, skinny jeans! I LOVE them and wear both crop and tunic style tops with them. I have some straight and girlfriend and boyfriend jeans I also wear. I will not wear my pjs out, and rarely wear sweats out! I respect people’s individual choices! Thank you for being genuine about your feelings! I’m close to 70!

Angela, I have to agree with you. I work in a store so I get to see a lot of people coming and going. Some people have no idea the details their leggings are showing the world. Stuff like that I cannot unsee! The printed leggings are so far out of date that when I see people wearing them, they have to be older . Nobody younger would be wearing them. Paired with contemporary pieces I’m sure they can still look nice on some gals . As with many in the population, they will choose comfort over style.

Once when we went on a motor coach tour , there was a woman, 60 plus years old….quite bow-legged….who wore bright flowered leggings with a short top e.v.e.r.y day…..she looked ridiculously terrible….so….think about how you look in leggings before you wear them in public.

Me too, Angela! I have not been able to put them on at all this year. I feel like the jeans are comfortable enough now. Especially since straight and flare are back.

Leggings: "Style Staple" in my life. No, wait, I take that back. Not "style" staple but "living staple." Too practical . . Too comfortable . . Too useful. Solid colors or subtle monotone print, nothing nude or too light colored or "jegging". Now that designers are fashioning beautiful kimonos and stylish longer tunics, I wear mine all the time. A friend and I were talking about how we would never have thought we would be wearing them in our 60s and how back in the 60s our mothers would have told us they were inappropriate for public wear. But somehow they wrapped us in their comfort and ease and, as long as we have nice coverage so that our bums aren't taking center stage, I'm good with them as day-to-day useful fashion.

OK...I'm just a sneeze away from 70 yrs old but my take on leggings is this: First, if you're going to wear them, cover up the "private" parts (I'm talkin' the front, you know ladies what I mean) with a top that does the trick! I've asked: Men do NOT like that much 'visuals'! Secondly, it's not about how old you are but whether or not you look good in them. Let's face it, some people simply do not look good in them...me for example! Yes to wearing them to the gym or at home or as an added layer under something else such as a longer skirt or extra long sweater or blouse...NOT as a pair of slacks!. (I work from home so I sometimes do wear leggings.) No to thinking they're appropriate for everywhere. Those leggings that are super tight, shiny, paired with a crop top (baggy or fitted) just seem way too casual for some places IMO (eg. going to church) for ladies of any age. There are so many other comfortable items of clothing out there for any body shape besides leggings.

A few years ago, it became “a thing” to wear pj bottoms and bedroom slippers to the mall. I expressed my opinion in a conversation with my co-workers, and someone responded “at least they were dressed.” So, I guess we all set our own bar when it comes to what is appropriate. Leggings are just a lower bar. As for stretch in our pants, I think that’s the reason so many of us put on weight without even realizing.

Leggings are my go to on 26 hour flights. I pair black leggings with a black tee, black jacket, and scarf.

You also need to take into consideration what your legs look like. My legs are fat. I only wear leggings at home, when I’m not going anywhere.

I do believe everyone needs to do what’s right for them and their individual style and comfort levels however, leggings are over used and we need to consider other styles.

I love them and too comfortable to give up.

Leggings are popular cause you can gain or lose 10 pounds and they still fit. Since they show every bump and curve of your lower body they aren't always flattering to most. I know! Interesting conversation.

Thank you Angela!! I was at the airport and was shocked how many women were wearing leggings that should not be. I totally agree with you. There are plenty of options to be comfortable and fashionable!

Agree with you, Angela. Have relegated my leggings to Pilates class and mooching about at home. Sad but necessary, though xx

50 here. I do a lot of travel and my merino leggings are comfortable when sitting a lot, and the close-fitting fabric means it's not going to get on public bathroom floors, trip me, or get caught in anything (I'm clumsy too). That said I do also buy trousers that are narrower at the ankle (jogger or barrel styles) that serve this purpose. Just remembering stirrup pants from the late 80s :)

Angela, I agree with you. After a certain age,wearing leggings as pants for every place to go, is a bit over board. I have a dress I’ve bought ( maybe I shouldn’t have) I’m needing something like leggings to go under it. I think also a person should consider their bodies, I’m overweight therefore wearing them as pants is a huge no. In honesty if never felt that comfortable in them. I too, am wanting a more polished elegant look. 😊❤😊

I'm pretty much done with leggings and Long tops. I'm mad at myself for covering my butt for Years when it looked fine! Did the same thing some in my 20s with the leggings with foot strap. Why????????

Great video! I AGREE 100%. I feel lucky that I still can wear leggings bc I wear a size 6-8. But let's face it, at 57 it's inappropriate. Like you, I don't feel elegant in leggings. So I did a big switch-up/change-up & now I wear wide leg, boot leg, palazzo & loose straight pants. I feel better, less constricted & classy.

I'm with you, 💯. Road trips, exercise, lounging around home are the times I'll wear leggings .❤

I can see you gave this a lot of thought and I agree with you 100%

I never felt comfortable wearing leggings other than for exercising, so I didn't/don't wear them for anything else. I don't love them on others either as a wardrobe choice, because I feel they reveal way too much. Don't get me wrong, I love stretch jeans, but leggings are in another category for me, so yeah I agree with you Angela.

Good food for thought for this 60+ with lots of leggings. I think my leggings wardrobe expanded a lot during covid. I too have been feeling like I want to elevate my look and not wear the leggings as my all the time look.

The issue of leggings is a never ending discussion point on my European travel social pages…(especially the Paris one)…however, it all comes down to how you’re styling yourself, and the need for comfort…btw, there’s no one answer…other than “it depends”…thanks for the interesting and fun video! 😊

I love leggings.. I think a good compromise is (thickish) flared leggings. They look more current and fashionable without losing the comfort!

You've got a point here, and you've got me thinking! I'm going to really think about this one, very seriously! ❤

I have so many clothes that I can probably pull any trend out on any given day. Legged are just part of my wardrobe wardrobe.

I'm 56 now. I wear leggings to the gym and afterward to do errands. Other than that, I just wear jeans or a dress when it's warm. I used to wear leggings all the time with a long shirt or sweater, but I've gotten away from that. Right now, I'm actually wearing the corset jeans from Walmart that you talked about in one of your videos. SO COMFORTABLE!!!

Always love your videos Angela! It’s like sitting down and having coffee with a friend and talking about fashion! I’m in my 60’s and like you - my tastes are changing. I feel very comfortable and stylish when I wear my leggings but lately (the past couple of years) I feel as you do - I want to look more elegant without being fussy or overdressed. I’m loving the wide leg trousers out now and also love the straight leg style with different materials (other than just denim).

Angela, I have to say I loved this video. You did an amazing job with all the pictures you added. I know that took a long time! This is one of your best videos ever, in terms of the quality and your sense of humor. I’ve never been one to wear leggings as pants. I love wearing jeans and I am really enjoying the high waisted wide leg pair I picked up from OldNavy. I wasn’t willing to spend a lot on an “experiment”. I’m loving these!

You made some great points and explained your thoughts so well!!!

Catching up on videos...we ha e been busy...you are really beautiful, intelligent, grounded, and reasonable in you wisdom. Ty for being real❤❤❤

Also...not one time have I ever thought you looked frumpy, dumpy, or awkward ...you do you very well and that is why you are such an inspiration to so many women

Angela I love the way you explain yourself💖

No matter how much stretch they give to jeans, they never are as comfortable as leggings. For home, and gym it's leggings. For food shopping and mall shopping, it's leggings. For live music and out to dinner, it's dark blue or black jeans - a little dressier than leggings......but as soon as I get home, can't wait to get back in the leggings! They just can't be beat for comfort.

Exactly my thoughts! Change into jeans for that occasion! But Leggings is the go to for anytime fitness! Which we all clearly need! Plus they are always coming out with new ones to keep us looking fitness fabulous too!

@@graciepooxoxo143 After having an extra 10 lbs sneak up on me (which I've since lost), I've relegated leggings to fitness rather than daily wear. Before leggings became the thing, I could tell if weight was creeping up when my jeans were getting a little snug. Since leggings are so comfortable and stretchy, it's easier for the extra pounds to go undetected, so they're mostly a no for me for that reason.

Thank you for a thought-provoking discussion!

I still buy me a couple of pairs. I wear them a few times out in public with a long shirt. Then they become my PJ bottoms with a tank. I have one long sleeve PJ top to put over if I feel cold.
