The thing with leggings is that they’re a moral middle-ground when it comes to modesty. By Merriam-Webster’s definition, leggings should be considered as pants simply because they cover the body from waist to ankle. But because they stick too close to the skin, they may be considered too inappropriate for public view. So other people may think that leggings should be considered as underwear or even lingeries. But the thing with definitions is that they change with time. So if you’re team #leggings then you probably want to call them that.
