I will wear yoga pants to an actual yoga class without a long shirt and then keep them on for errands. Wear what you're comfortable and confident in, the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2644009 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 19:51:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 2644009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to say all bets are off when you are pregnant and can't even see your crotch. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643979 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 19:13:16 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2643979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Iced Tea: omg yes. This is my exact problem. I buy a top that just covers butt cheek and then it shrinks and its that questionable length. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643975 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 19:09:50 +0000 catomd00 2643975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear leggings as pants, so doesn't matter to me! I rarely wear leggings to work, but if I did I'd need mid-thigh coverage to feel comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643970 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 18:50:12 +0000 BSB 2643970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crotch and most of my butt covered if I'm shopping and running errands. I think if I was going to the gym or something, I might be okay with 50% of my butt exposed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643652 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 14:33:35 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2643652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At home and the occasional quick errand, I say anything goes. But for work, going out, etc I need butt cheek and crotch coverage when standing. Leggings are not pants, so you need something that's longer than a regular shirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643642 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 14:28:34 +0000 caterw 2643642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to keep the butt covered but I don't care about it so much when I'm pregnant since a lot of my loose tops still fit but are shorter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643638 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 14:25:02 +0000 MrsKoala 2643638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like longer tops with leggings but I don't have rules about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643611 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 13:57:23 +0000 Silva 2643611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only wear athletic leggings which are pretty thick. I'm fine with a little butt showing but usually aim to cover the front at least.<br /> If I wear thinner leggings then I do a mini skirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643592 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 13:48:33 +0000 Rocker2014 2643592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For daily wear, I prefer my top to cover my crotch/butt when I'm wearing leggings. Being fairly short (and short waisted!) helps with finding tops that work! I will wear a waist length shirt with workout leggings for the gym/other exercise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643571 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 13:33:34 +0000 snowjewelz 2643571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has to cover crotch/butt for me to be comfortable. </p> <p>Though I'm 30 weeks pregnant and don't give a crap currently :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643163 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 09:06:46 +0000 Iced Tea 2643163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cannot tell you how many times I have excitedly purchased a shirt that was long enough to wear with leggings (for me, covering butt) only to have it shrink in the wash and not cover enough. Now I've switched to buying short dresses so they have plenty of length. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643156 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 08:59:46 +0000 nana87 2643156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For wearing casually, generally a bit lower than just front/butt coverage. I'm wearing a long top with leggings today and just stood up to "measure"--my (maternity, plaid, button-down) shirt is finger-length in the back but more like palm-length in front. </p> <p>For going to the gym, meaning thick work-out type leggings (I like high-waisted ones from Athleta), my work out shirts are typically just normal length so don't cover butt/front </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643086 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 07:43:50 +0000 looch 2643086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only leggings I wear are workout leggings, usually in crazy, bright prints. I typically wear them with a waist length top, but I am not going leaving my house with that outfit on...if I do go out, I throw either a long cardigan on top or a tunic that covers the crotch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643079 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 07:32:48 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2643079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I just bought my first pair of leggings and I totally see women looking nice and put together in leggings without long shirts but I'm not sure how comfortable I am that way yet. We'll see. I just my point is, I think it's normal not to have those kinds of "rules", I think it's just personal comfort level. </p> <p>I used to feel weird in my yoga pants so I'm sure I'll have an adjustment period with leggings </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643053 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 05:27:42 +0000 erinbaderin 2643053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My theory is that if I couldn't technically legally wear it without leggings I'm not going to wear it with leggings. Which I guess is the same as saying butt and crotch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643050 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 05:22:20 +0000 matador84 2643050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Must cover crotch and butt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643048 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 05:15:28 +0000 ValentineMommy 2643048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely full butt coverage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643046 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 05:11:35 +0000 FannyMae 2643046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need full butt coverage, but at the moment I am finding it hard to find a pair of leggings that don't fall down... in fact, even jeans that don't fall down. anything with stretch in it seems to be pulled south as the day goes on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643045 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 04:36:17 +0000 Ms. RV 2643045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends on the leggings. If they are closer to yoga pants, then butt and front coverage. If they are closer to tights, then fingertip length. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643034 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 00:54:22 +0000 shellio 2643034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I only wear (what I consider) leggings when I'm pregnant. I wear yoga pants frequently, which come to think of it are just leggings from the knees up, and am fine as long as the shirt is long enough that I can lean and bend and squat with my kids comfortably (no butt crack). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643029 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 00:37:14 +0000 Purpledaisy 2643029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Front covered and at least 3/4 butt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643026 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 23:51:30 +0000 DesertDreams88 2643026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do fingertip length because I'm a teacher and that's our dress code :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2643025 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 23:41:02 +0000 sapphire 2643025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like most others have said, needs to cover all or most of butt unless they are work out pants.

I have one pair of workout leggings that I will e a little less strict with, as long as I'm wearing an athletic-ish outfit. But regular leggings must cover crotch and but cheeks. I find the crotch part harder with so many Hi low shirts or long cardigans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-coverage-do-you-need-with-a-top-to-wear-leggings#post-2642989 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 21:27:30 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2642989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Full butt coverage and the same goes for the front!

I feel like I need past butt cheek coverage for sure! </p>
