Really.

It seems Vancouver is out of the loop. The first known use of legging was in 1718. It sinply means stretchy material that's fitted. And CERTAINLY NOT just for "working out". There are hundreds of listings on Google for "dress leggings" from all types of stores.

You wear Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. How old are you? Those came out in the 70's and no idea where they sell such an outdated brand now. You are so out of the loop.

Not even close. You don't live in the US I guess.

US to retain top position in denim jeans market

The US denim jeans market is forecast to be 593.8 million in 2024. WHO do you think is wearing all that? (and and 3,351.19 million in 2024 globally)

I can't remember the last time I've even SEEN a woman in "black leggings" walking around going about her business.

Are you in the 50 plus demo that you cited?

Do you scroll TikTok? Instagram? NO black leggins.

OMG the ripped trend alone!

Maybe that's why you're unaware that the jeans market in America is MASSIVE.

You know Khloe Kardashian started a JEANS brand called Good American and within six years they drove $200 Million in revenue AND famous for SIZE INCLUSIVITY.

She's opening her first store in LA right now.

Kim's Skims is valued at $4 Billion and while yes, it's mostly shapewear, her pant/leggings (avail in black) would NEVER be confused as something surpassing denim.

Wow.....they are jeans.....if they are comfortable, isn`t that what matters. Who wants to be in the loop anyways.

I love linen because it always looks like you slept in it, even if you just ironed it!! I wear a pair of drawstring linen pants around the house and they are very comfy.

Kohls used to sell Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. I think they still do. I never cared for them though. They fitted funny.

I prefer Levi Signature jeans, bootcut. I like the way they fit.

Well, I'm older and likely "out of the loop."

I didn't get old on purpose, it just happened. If you're lucky, it could happen to YOU.
