  • Question
    Can you wear leggings to school?
    Community Answer
    This depends on whether or not your school has a dress code, so check the rule book first. In most cases, you should be able to wear leggings under a dress or skirt, much like you would wear tights. Sometimes, you may only be able to wear certain colors, like white or black.
  • Question
    Do I wear socks over or under leggings?
    Community Answer
    Under; remember, leggings are basically pants. Just make sure the socks aren't too thick so you don't get a bulge in the leggings. The exception to this is if you are layering leggings under pants; then the socks go between your leggings and pants to trap more warm air. If you are wearing leggings under pants and two pairs of socks, put one pair under the leggings and one pair under the pants, again to trap more warm air.

    I'm a guy who wants to wear leggings in public. How should I go about doing that?

    Start by wearing leggings to the gym with a tee or athletic shirt that is long, to cover the crotch area from potential gawkers. Take advantage of early morning exercise walks while wearing leggings, no one really cares. When building confidence, early morning visits to Walmart or Target are positively a good experience. Always remember clothes are just clothes and the fabric does not recognize gender!
