So now all these leggings will likely end up in a landfill because of a seam that imo doesn't even look bad.

Yay

Yeah even in the linked reddit pictures, that looks... good? I don't get the complaint? I mean to be fair, and I don't mean this in a sexual way at all, I have no comparison pictures for that particular butt. But(t) in the leggins as shown, looks awesome? 🤔

I'm a dude, and these aren't even the ones I was thinking of, they don't look bad. The ones I was thinking of has an "aggressive" ruffled seam at the upper butt area and that looks bad IMO.

I personally think so too, but when I consulted with my wife about that style recently, she informed me that seam and the ruffles are to prevent the leggings material from thinning out and becoming transparent when doing squats or bendy yoga stuff.

So, they're made for actually working out, even though I basically only see them at the grocery store and shit

Hahaha I do yoga and most of the women pants don't have that and it doesn't really make a difference IMO. I took a class a few weeks ago out in the Florida sun with like 40 other people, most were women, and there was only one that looked like she was wearing leggings rather than yoga pants. When she was bent over you could clearly see her black thong through her black pants.

While searching for pictures, I saw something saying that they're supposedly still available for sale in Australia, so maybe there's a chance they'll get worn out before hitting the landfill?

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

But…there’s fabric above it and around it so it’s clearly not underwear sticking out.

I mean, I get it. You should totally be comfortable in the clothes you’re wearing. I don’t think I’d see it if I hadn’t read about it though.

Idk it just gives shape. Idk whats the problem.

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

I don't get it. I think it looks fine, and I say this as a woman who wears leggings. Now, if that kind of seam was in the FRONT and actively trying to give you camel toe, that would be a different story.

Perhaps you can tell me what ‘whale tail’ refers to ?

[-] eldoom@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 months ago

It's when a thong sticks up past the pants. It resembles a whale's tail.

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

This right here. I can see where maybe if the leggings color was any skin color, and then the seam was a different color, MAYBE it would look like a whale tail, but otherwise it really doesn't

[-] eldoom@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

I mean I can see the resemblance but if someone hadn't pointed it out I would have never noticed.

[-] sunzu@kbin.run 2 points 2 months ago

Education I didn't ask for haha

But thank you for the service

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Oh I see so these leggings were falling down?

[-] eldoom@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

No, someone else posted a link to the actual leggings here. They just have a seam that looks quite similar.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

Oh cool that doesn’t seam very serious

[-] eldoom@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

Hey hey no need to whale on and on about it

[-] eldoom@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

You keep it up and you're going to have to sit there for longer!

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Welp ima head out before these puns tail off and get all leggy

[-] moon@lemmy.cafe 11 points 2 months ago

giving people a detailed ass is just a way to show that they're a playable character
