Is 50+ too old to wear tights / yoga pants out in public?

Assisted living ie at her home. We’re talking about out in public.

Leggings are not pants. I will die on this hill.

Leggings can 100% be pants if you have a thin body for them. I am a size 2 and love wearing leggings. They look cute on and are flattering. I will die on this hill.

Unfortunately I think this depends on your weight. If you are fit - wear them. If you are not - wear them to Wal-Mart.

I think the fabric made it easier to do poses in as this stretchy shiny fabric bounces back and binds you from going deeper. At this point yoga pants are not as good for yoga as biker shorts and joggers are but young people like the yoga pant and matching sport bra look

There are different types of leggings for different activities. Lululemon’s “align” is an example. Made for yoga and very stretchy.

I’m 48 and wear them all the time. I’ve gone back to wearing work out clothes all the time because I’m exercising 2 plus hours a day. No one is paying attention and if they are I don’t care.

As a man, I'm just here to ask that women please continue to wear leggings in public.

Leggings are out for old women. Women in general, straight leg and flares are in.

I mean… you can look great in a bikini but it doesn’t make it appropriate to wear to the grocery store.

It doesn’t matter what size you are or what you look like… leggings, which very much includes any form of skintight stretch pants such as yoga pants, are inappropriate to wear in non-exercise venues. If you are an adult woman who does this you give the impression that you are either 1) an idiot who can’t figure out how to dress herself, or 2) an attention whore.

I'm not going to change into jeans or slacks every time I have to leave the house. The whole concept of your age dictating what is appropriate to wear (once you reach adulthood) is silly to me. If it looks good, makes you feel good and/or it's comfortable, wear it!

You could wear diapers too, that way you don’t have the horrific inconvenience of going to the bathroom like an adult every time you need to pee. Why should only babies and toddlers get to wear them?

You became invisible 5-10 years ago. You are free. Do and wear whatever you want!

Clearly you don’t know how to style leggings. I wear them all the time with a sweater or other cute top and basic sneakers like Vejas. There’s nothing inappropriate nor attention whore about this type of outfit. Sorry you can’t pull off anything fitted.

LOL to the outfit you linked. It just looks like they forgot to put the schoolgirl skirt on the model. Seriously, if you walk around in that you just look like you forgot to put on pants after your long underwear!

Wear whatever you want. Seriously. If you spend even 60 seconds worrying about what others will think, you are giving strangers way too much influence over your life choices. Do you.
