OOTD and Target Fails

Let's get this out of the way...yes I do realize after looking at this picture that this outfit is less than flattering. I think I will just title it "Yet Another Way to Get Away With Not Wearing Real Pants."

The reason I am sharing this is to talk about how much Target leggings suck. Now, before you get all defensive...hear me out. At this point in my life I consider myself an expert on comfortable pants (for the purposes of this post I am calling leggings pants....but please, in real life always remember...leggings are NOT pants!).

I have had the opportunity to sample several brands of leggings, all at reasonable costs, because seriously, who spends 60$ on leggings?? And after much research I have determined that Target is the absolute worst. I keep giving them a chance because I am a big believer in all things Target, but pair after pair, they dissapoint.  The material is thin, see-through in certain lights and at the stretch points, the elastic-y-ness of them blows, they are too short, they are prone to holes in the crotch...the list goes on, but the bottom line is - they suck.

Not to worry, I have found the best...for the same price, go to Kohls and get the Vera Wang brand leggings. They are wonderful. Thick, stretchy, elastic-y, a better cut, slightly longer, not see-through.  Basically, perfect.

You're welcome.

  1. I have a pair of Old Navy leggings that I like, but they could definitely be better. Mainly, in that they should be more comfortable. If I'm replacing pants with something stretchy, clearly I want comfort. Thanks for doing the legwork (ha! see what I did there?). I'll have to check Kohl's out.

  2. Ha, legwork! The Walmart ones aren't too bad either (or at least better than target), but they are no where near as good as Vera. I have heard good things about Hue, but I think they are like 40$, which is out of my budget for pants that aren't really pants.

  3. I just bought some nicely made leggings from Express. I wore them once and the seam on the inside makes me insane!
