Remember when NBC used to do those Public Service Announcements (aka “The More You Know”)? Well, my version is a Please Stop Announcement. I want to talk about a subject near and dear to my heart: leggings with short tops, otherwise known as trying-to-pass-off-an-undergarment-as-pants. Please, no. Leggings are meant to be worn with tops that fall below one’s backside. I’m not lying, look it up.

First, I don’t want to see this trend on anyone, as I don’t believe it is remotely attractive.  At. All.  Actually, it hurts my retinas to behold this trend. Worse is when I see girls wearing cheap, nearly-see-thru leggings from Primark replete with tops that show off that lovely elasticated waste band. Sexy. Wearing such a thing is akin to walking around bare-assed.

Only about 0.0267% of the population has the right proportions, muscle tone and swagger to pull off such a thing. And even then, those people will still look inappropriate (my favourite word) to me. No, I’m not being an old crotchety c£”&. I’m trying to save you from terrible embarrassment.

Please take a good long look at yourself in a mirror (or two). Do yourself a favour and cover your ass. Dee dee dee deeeeeeeeee!
