Leggings are not pants.

Celebrities do it...college kids do it...soon children will be doing it...what is America coming to?

So now that it is getting warmer out, people have been wearing a lot less clothing around campus. This is unacceptable, people. COVER UP!

Tights are also unacceptable pant alternatives. If you are going to cover your legs, really commit.

Skirts with leggings or tights...okay. I can handle that. You got a lot of junk in your trunk...gotta cover up...okay. I'll accept.

Wearing little booty shorts with tights...NOT ACCEPTABLE! I've seen this way too much to attribute this to one girls terrible taste in clothing. I've now seen 4 different girls around my campus and it's just so trife.

Also, long shirts plus leggings don't count as wearing a dress. If you sit down and your butt is covered only by the leggings, you have a problem and you should consider wearing a) shirts that fit plus b) real pants.

Celebrities can afford pants. So for Mary-Kate Olsen to be participating in such a trend is beyond me. Are these leggings made of gold? Well some are. But not hers.

Not okay, Mary-Kate. It's never a good idea to make your legs look like toothpicks...even black toothpicks.

Yeah yeah you won American Idol, so you should know better than to do such a thing.

Um...too much junk in this trunk for these poor leggings to handle. It's completely unflattering and just...so...sad.

The leggings made of gold...what a travesty. Who needs a butt highlighter when it's that large?!

Do they want me to BUY this outfit?! She just escaped from fashion prison...GET HER BACK IN THERE!!!

So much wrong with her, leggings are the least of her worries.

Beware the shiny butt!!!

In conclusion...don't wear leggings as pants. I don't want to see your butt in that much detail. Ever. It's never ever ever ever okay.

And that's my new philosophy!
