I say this as a guy who loves his cargo shorts, so I too have known oppression.
"Prude" women? Nope. Women with class, who don't need the validation of being gawked at by strangers while at the grocery store or picking up the kids from school.
Half these posts are saying yoga pants are low effort and the other half are saying "omg you're being gawked at." Which is it.
I am in my early 30s and unmarried, but my ex-boyfriend loved seeing me in leggings and jeans equally, but he just thought I had a cute butt. Current boyfriend said just a few weeks ago that I look cute in my college sweatshirt and leggings. I don't get what's wrong with wearing them at home or in appropriate situations. I wouldn't wear Lululemon to work or a nice dinner out, but if I'm running errands around the city I'm not wearing a dress and shoes that could get beaten up, I'm wearing athleisure and sneakers.
The fact that you don't see any middle ground between yoga pants/sneakers/your college sweatshirt and "a dress and [dress] shoes" is pretty telling. You really have no clothes between those two extremes? And yes, those are two ends of a spectrum. Not one pair of khakis, dress pants, nicer jeans? Blouses and tops that aren't Lululemon sports-bra type tops?
As for this: "Half these posts are saying yoga pants are low effort and the other half are saying "omg you're being gawked at." Which is it." You fail to understand: Low effort clothes get gawked at. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. Low effort here means skintight on the bottom and a top that's basically a bra, so, sure, that's a look at lot of men are going to stare at while they thank God for women who think it's fine to wear their low-effort clothes everywhere, all the time, unless they're at the office or a "nice dinner out."
