[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a teenage girl in leggings:

What is not "good?" [/quote]

I know it's dating myself but to me it looks like she forgot to put on her skirt and is running around in thick opaque stockings.  Add a short uniform kilt and she would be wearing an updated version of the look my friends and I wore in highschool.  I struggle with this issue as I don't want to be sexist but am not a fan this look.

(FWIW - I think the younger girl in the earlier picture also looks to be missing some layers.)

I continue to try and accept that times and styles have changed - and thus "leggings" are now really to be treated as pants and as such don't think they should be called out specifically on dress codes.

Truthfully I would love to see schools have a stricter dress code, something similar to "business casual" that is common in so many work places.  For it's about respect for school and in part not looking like you are going to the gym or just rolled out of bed.  But I realize this is just me and that such a dress code is not feasible in public schools for a number of reasons.

Now, I can't stop thinking of all the things I would ban if I had the power ;)
