I have 3 pair of leggings. I have never worn them enfemme but instead got them to wear as a second layer on the cold winter days for every day wear under my dress slacks.

I don't wear them, only tights. Somehow I think leggings are too much like pants, and I hate wearing pants.

I wear them often. They are useful as an in-between wear when I can't fully go femme

I think leggings are great, if, your legs and bottom are in proportion, the leggings are of good quality material, high enough to cover the midriff and they will stay up. and most important of all, they are worn with a long top (tunic) or even under a dress or skirt, there is nothing I can think of at the moment that is worse than cheap leggings worn with a short top. I think I said it all here

My wife gave me a very nice pair of leggings but they are just not me, now to keep peace in the house I do wear them at home and around here outside.
Now I do find them great to paint in rotf

I love them. I wear them with long skirts in lieu of stockings in the winter, and also under my jeans in guy mode as a form of long underwear. Except for a lack of a fly they pass for unisex. Plus they don't get runs.

Arlene, when you ask how we feel about the product, are you asking about the two brands or the leggings? I have too many pairs of leggings and have worn one pair out with a tunic/dress sweater. My legs looked good but the rest of me didn't.

As for Fredrick's -- I'm not small enough. For Newport News, I used to get their catalog a million years ago, but never actually ordered from them. The prices are good, but I think the quality could be in line with the prices. That's feeling with nothing for me to back it up with.

Davita,
My leggings from Fredericks arrived today and Ive tried them out. They fit my legs to a tee, but it's too warm today to wear them for any length of time. Thank you for your imput.

I love my new leggings from Fredericks, they are so much better than the pair that I purchased from NewportNews. 8)

yeah leggings can get warm which is why i would wear them in the winter, the damp cold or with any chill. They have so many styles and materials these days too so you can wear them for practically any reason.

Glad you're loving your Fredrick's :)

Leggings are a good staple item for any womens wardrobe and a useful and thicker alternative to tights
