Men wore them for centuries- from the middle ages through the Renaissance.
Mom pleads with Notre Dame female students to stop wearing leggings, sparks

True, I heard they also wore high heels until women started wearing them, and then they were feminine lol

Sure, that is different than some hints that read as if people were not wearing shirts! Yes, people wear ill fitting clothes. I simply assume that is all they can afford (they gained weight and cannot buy new clothes).

The mom in this article complained specifically that girls were wearing leggings without tops that went past the waist to Mass. That’s both unnecessary and gross.

@camoderator, can these threads be combined?
She told them leggings were too suggestive, so they wore them in protest World News

You think they are OK to wear to Mass??? Because that’s what that mother was most concerned about.
Additionally, I think it’s very telling how SICK the campus is because the girl who organized the protest wasn’t a pro-abortion and pro-birth control activist who’s trying to force Notre Dame to offer birth control and abortion services.
Don’t believe me, just look at the mission statement of the group she’s apart of.
Sickening.

I literally have worn leggings to every Mass for so many years that I have to think, maybe a dozen years ago I wore a skirt. I wear them to weddings, funerals, work, cocktail parties, everywhere.

You wear workout leggings where I can see your underwear & ever single curve and bump on your lower body to mass?phil19034:

Really? You do?
Do you wear the short top too so we can see your skin between the bottom of the top and the top of the tights too? If so, do you wear that to mass too?
COME ON. The FOX article wasn’t as in depth, like some other articles. The problem is these PRO ABORTION girls on Notre Dame’s campus are dressing immodestly on purpose to mass in protest to a mother asking for a little modestly.
The girls are 100% in the wrong, and this is just ONE reason why Notre Dame is losing its Catholic identity.

No, I wear workout leggings to work out or to lounge in.
I wear dress leggings for work, mass, formal events. The only exception I own to leggings is a couple pair of palazzo pants that I wear for work or for casual wear.
My capsule wardrobe contains blouses, sweaters, turtlenecks, tunics, T shirts, depending on the place and time.
For me, clothes and politics are not enmeshed, except when I choose to wear a cheeky T-shirt.
As I said above, sometimes people wear sports bras/exercise shorts with workout leggings. I have lived a long time and not seen such at Mass. If someone did wear it to Mass, I would assume they had nothing else or the did not have time to throw on a cardigan or blouse with the leggins.
I find your language offensive. Charity does not call a woman a “S(^%” regardless of her stand on abortion.

This mom isn’t speaking of “work” leggings. She’s speaking of leggings that show every contour of the lower half of the body. Every. Contour.

I changed my post. I wrote that out of anger. I apologize. However, these girls are not wearing what you would consider OK.
There are wearing very revealing leggins and they are wearing them to mass. After the mother asked them not too, the campus pro-abortion group organized a protest for more girls to wear those skimpy leggins (which are really meant to be worn under your pants) to mass.
That’s the issue. Not everyone is reporting that because the media is trying to make the Mom look bad.

(And FWIW, I’m also not a fan of calling women the “s” word. Unfortunately, that word is being used by those on all sides now, as with the “S***Walk” phenomenon.)

The whole point of leggings is that they are fitted.
This is an example of work/mass leggings

I am guessing that some people were wearing their workout clothes to mass.
I know that I cringe when I see cold shoulder dresses at Mass. We all have the one thing that just bothers us!!

The Best Black Leggings We’ve Ever Tested for Exercising, Lounging, and More
We put black leggings to the test, evaluating pairs for their quality, opacity, fit, performance, and value. We also tapped a designer and stylist for shopping tips on finding the right black leggings.

As this is a family forum, I won’t post pics. But if you type “leggings butt” into Google and check out the images, you’ll see why some are extremely bothered that this style is being worn to Mass.

yeah, that’s not what the girls are wearing…
Look at the pictures on this one article: She told them leggings were too suggestive, so they wore them in protest
That’s what they are wearing to Mass, and not on purpose to protest that mom.
And the protest is being organized by a pro-abortion group that likes to give out free condoms on Notre Dame’s campus.

For anyone who is interested, here is the Mother’s letter to the newspaper
it was very respectful, and she is EMPHASISING what girls were wearing at the Basilica. She’s basically challenging Notre Dame women to act like proud Catholics.
The few replies are pretty nasty to her, and frankly disrespectful for a 20 something to speak to a older woman.
It’s really sad.

I’ve been reading a number of comments and articles written in the Notre Dame student newspaper about this… it’s plain to see that this college is no longer Catholic

I looked at the example you posted, but they still just look like leggings to me. Leggings are leggings. They are all skin tight. More form fitting than I want or need to see. I know that makes me an old fuddy duddy, but that’s fine.
I realize it’s all about comfort, but I honestly don’t think clothes are uncomfortable if they fit correctly. I don’t own uncomfortable clothes.

I know that SSPX and the Russian Orthodox Churches do not recommend that women to show up nude, especially at churches. Also, Muslim women and the Amish dress a whole lot more modestly than what is being talked about here. According to Roman Catholic belief - which is more pleasing to the Mother of God?
The Amish woman or the Jehovah’s Witnesses woman who dresses modestly,
Or
The Catholic woman who shows up in “a teeny bikini, or totally nude” either at public events, or parties or for church?
Of course the pro-abortion people would protest for the right to do as they please. Why else are they giving out condoms to students at a Roman Catholic campus? What has happened to discipline and the virtue of prudence among Roman Catholics?
