One evening I came home from Cub Scouts, hung up my uniform pants and shirt, and went downstairs in the leggings and long sleeve t-shirt I’d been wearing underneath. The girls squealed, “Oooh, you’re wearing leggings!” as if I’d had on fishnet hose and a bustier. Weird.
LOL! I think that they look cute when worn with a long tunic top or a dress or skirt that is a bit above the knee. A younger person may look fine in something shorter.
