Tights Are Not Pants!
Yesterday, NYLON got a shipment of LnA leggings in the office.
We asked our intern, Sabrina Bacon, to try them out.
She was extremely shy when she came back from the fashion closet, saying, “I can’t wear these! They’re so tight! They’re so not pants!”
But then she kept them on for like the rest of the day, and when we told her she could keep them, she wore them out of the office.
It seems the tights / pants war has claimed its latest partisan.
As for the rest of you, stay strong:
Tights may be okay for summer, but once September rolls around, you’ll be freezing your ass off and desperate for an amazing pair of thick-fabricked jeans.
Well, that’s the hope anyway.
Sincerely,
The Tights Are Not Pants committee (which equals approximately 50% of the NYLON office -the rest of us are like, all tights, all the time. So conclude what you will).

camel toe.

No, if you full them down a bit there’s no camel toe. Silly Drew.
Anyway, I declare that leggings are certainly pants. TIGHTS can not truly be considered pants, though I believe they can and should be used as such.
Okay, rule of thumb; if they’re opaque, it’s alright.
If you can even slightly see through them, they should at least have a long-enough tunic to cover up.
