[Anonymous]

Maybe she wears skin tight because that's what feels best to her. Maybe she wants to look sexy for men. Either case, what a woman wears is her choice, as long as what she is wearing is not blatantly lewd indecent exposure. A case of "camel toe" is not indecent exposure because the crotch is covered, and it is not lewd because the form of the female body is not lewd.

So bikinis are ok at CitiZen? Awesome!

Nudity is not legal, and exposed skin is something more easily regulated than tight fitting clothing. According to what I've read, "camel toe" is caused not wearing underwear with tight pants. Some women go sans underwear because they think it feels better, some actually want to get camel toe. To camel toe or not to camel toe has actually become a matter of fashion preference.

But what are we going to do about it? Pass a law saying women have to wear underwear? Maybe we could hire an army of morality policemen whose job it is is to arrest any woman who looks like she might have camel toe, and check to make sure she's wearing her undies. But if we consider the form of the female body to be obscene, maybe we could just ban pants on women altogether, and force them back under skirts. And heck, why stop there? The extremists believe the sight of a woman's arm is erotic, so we should probably throw burqas over all of them.

I think we should just quit being offended by the female form. If women want to wear revealing tights, let 'em. If it bothers you so much, learn to divert your eyes from the offending area.

They can look better than "mom jeans"

I'm in and out of car all day as sahm of three kids with activities, etc.
I wear lululemon with a long top, jacket or sweater. I think they hold their shape and look sleek. Jeans can stretch out or be constricting. I'm comfortable and flexible. Plus black looks good with everything.
I also often wear black leggings and boots with tunics for the same reason.

I work from home full time. I wear yoga pants because they are comfortable. What else am I supposed to wear to essentially sit around the house all day (in front of a computer but still), take the dog out for a walk and maybe run to CVS or the grocery store. If I am going out doing anything else I put on real clothes but you might see me in yoga pants running errands and walking the dog.

Another full time WAH mom. WTF should I wear alone in my office attic? I also leave to hit the gym and grocery store, school pick up and drop off. If I am going somewhere real I put on some clothes. Whole Foods doesn't exactly require formal attire.

You think you look good but you are not seeing what people see from the back when you walk. Woman in parking lot of grocery store with large behind shaking up and down, clearly no panties and not a pretty sight. Don't look you say. Ya I'll walk into a car just to avoid looking at this woman directly in line with my vehicle. Why should I care? For the same reason people expect others to say thank you or please, it is called common respect for others in society.

I wear them because they're easy to get on and the legs are wide enough to go comfortably over my leg braces. Judge if you will.

I know they don't look great but quite honestly I don't feel anything looks good anymore so I might as well be comfortable. I used to love jeans, now they're too restricting.

Thank your wife for me. Nothing like staring at a hot piece of ass while I'm out running errands!

Oh America. You are just a country of slobs.

Don't wear them at a nice eating establishment, please, but as long as all the bits and pieces are covered or at least not highlighted I seldom notice them. HOWEVER- last week there was a mom picking up her child at an Arlington Montessori school wearing skin tight gray yoga/workout pants and a tight little top. She has a nice body and is proud of it. But she may as well have been wearing flashing neon suspenders pointing at her crotch. Half a block away you could see that crotch approaching. No one is looking at your awesome abs when you are offering up your lady bits like a "parental guidance suggested" anatomy lesson, scaring gay men everywhere. Please, Arlington Montessori mom, switch out the pants or wear a longer shirt.

You need to spend some time reading this site and not hating yourself:

People in DC can be so mean spirited! I had no idea.

Not all yoga pants are super tight. I have tighter legging style pants that I wear for running but not for anything other than that.

My yoga pants have a slightly wider leg and aren't super tight. I need to lose 10 pounds but I really don't think I look bad in them. Also in winter, if I have a shirt that covers my hips, these pants are no more revealing than any other pant.

Meh. As far as I'm concerned, people can wear whatever they want. But just know that 90% of the women who wear yoga pants everywhere have bodies that don't look good in those yoga pants or at least not nearly as good as they think they look. It's up to you if you want to wear something that isn't particularly flattering on your body, but I think the majority of those who wear yoga pants everywhere should probably rethink what they want unless they care about comfort and really don't care what anyone around them thinks.

So now, they don't want women to be comfortable? Close your eyes, if it us too offensive. I ain't donning jeans in this weather

Because they're comfortable. Because I'm running errands and crawling around on the floor with my toddler. Because I can't stand judgmental b!tches and it helps weed them out. Because I don't care what randoms at the grocery store think of my wardrobe. Because I spent too many years suffering through commutes and long days in suits and high heels to be shamed into wearing uncomfortable clothing at this stage in my life. Because I love them. The only way I might possibly consider wearing them with a little less frequency is if all other pants/jeans were made with a maternity bellyband.
