tbh. I think wearing leggings as pants are fine. as long as they aren't too thin of a material. I only wear them as pants if I can't see threw them. no problem at all.

Yeah, what type of leggings are see through? Maybe cheap ones or if the fabric has to stretch over a larger area (when you should be getting a larger size). Also wearing leggings =/= having a camel toe. Though I do agree with the neon legging part, it's pretty tacky.

In the end though, I think the most important thing is to make sure they're not see-through.

I love the darker colour leggings so they are it out there. I love layering on with an oversized sweater or t-shirt.
