[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I don't understand this thread. Yes, thick HA leggings are close to bring pants. But they're not. Wear them with tunics, not with short t-shirts.[/quote]

Why are they not pants?

What is the definition of "pants" and how do leggings fall short of qualifying?[/quote]

Convention: leggings are not pants. As many posters complain, DCUM is pretty conventional. Therefore, IMO, girls should wear tunics with leggings. [/quote]

OK, sure, but following convention just for the sake of following convention makes little sense, means there would never be innovation/progress, and at times has led to doing stupid, unnecessary, or even flat out harmful stuff. Other times, convention has a point and is an excellent guide. I'm trying to teach my kids to decide things based on the merits and logic of the position itself, not just the precedent, so if the only argument against leggings as pants is  "they've never been pants" or "everyone says they're not pants", I ask again... Why?

Otherwise, that's not really a convincing argument for why I should stop my kids wearing leggings as pants. They seem to fit the "pants" definitions I'm aware of.

I guess we'll just have to disagree on this one.[/quote]
