[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The yoga pants hate is pretty intense here. Body shaming dudes uniting with prude women.

I say this as a guy who loves his cargo shorts, so I too have known oppression. [/quote]

:lol:

"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. [/quote]
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.[/quote]

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."

I don't know. I don't love athleisure myself, but a lot of people do look good in it - and not "low effort" but actually pretty HIGH effort, a lot of the time!

As for OP's husband - if he saw you in jeans all the time, he might start feeling like wearing athleisure is special. I think any time you break out of your sartorial rut, it gets noticed.[/quote]
