There was a similar thread to this many years ago. The main point of that thread was to always wear a top that covered the butt when wearing leggings.

Shortly after that I noticed that women didn't do that; they liked having their butts show. And as a few years went by, some of the leggings got tighter with a thinner material for that painted on look.

It's getting to the point that you almost can't tell if they're wearing leggings or if they're naked!

I wear them around the house, use them as pajama bottoms and as a replacement for thermal long johns. Last time I dressed in public I wore Jeggings with a top that covered the top half of the butt area. Also wore a cardigan sweater that covered the rest.

Crop tops - I love them, but my waist doesn't. I only wear them for my own enjoyment at home.
