I agree with most of the posts here. I also have been wearing tights and leggings for casual and sports use. I wear them for cycling, running, walking, working out, casual with shorts. Comfortable, keeps from getting cramps, casually accepted. Most people dont care. Some may state something, however, most wouldnt say anything or they mention it to someone else. I worn several times in a exercise class at a local gym in Southern California. Most young women, some older, a few guys. One young latina in 20s was in front of me. She looked at me, the mirror, then me. She got up and asked if I was wearing stockings. I told her I was wearing tights. I mentioned it was for preventing cramps while wearing my leggings with shorts. She only sighed and said ok. She explained it to an attractive asian and another lady there. She mentioned it to me that she had cramps from class. I suggested it to her. She asked me to work out in front of her or next to her. I definately did. I worked out next to her since I wasnt an expert. We had step and weights. Had a good workout. When we were done, she wanted me to walk with her to the main floor. I walked her out. I seen her a few times after and she worn leggings to class. After that she wasnt seen. In closing, it was a positive experience. No bad comments. Only discussed it.

I actually had this crazy idea of getting all the colleges to take in this idea of wearing leggings to school, regardless of gender. It’s not just unisexual but it’s also universal in climates. I’m from a tropical climate and it’s quite hot mostly, but it’s also wet year round so always having a pair means easy on easy off…needless for belts. Almost one-size fits all.

So for a number of years I’ve shadowed my otherwise taboo appearance with those Lycra things underneath my jeans and shirt.

When the day comes when everyone can wear tights casually, I’ll be one of the first to strut my stuff..

Oh..and another pointer…I’m anti-gay…I don’t know why tights and stuff like that are always associated with being gay/lesbian/sissy…but I just feel more free in these things…movement wise, whether it’s running or walking. Could be useful when skateboarding or skiing, who knows?

Thanks alot for your wonderful bulletin. Peace out! Love ya spandexes!
