At THS you see students wearing a variety of different styles of clothing. Leggings and sweatpants are both statements of clothing that are seen frequently throughout the halls. 

Leggings are for when you want a tight but also comfortable fit, while sweatpants are for when you want a looser, more breathable fit. Leggings are a pair of pants that typically only girls wear, while sweatpants are a pair of pants that both girls and guys wear. Both types of pants are also worn as a form of workout clothing. Some people believe that leggings are more comfortable to wear because they aren’t baggy. Other people think that sweatpants are extra comfortable to wear because of their looser fit. 

I prefer leggings over sweatpants because I like the pants I wear to fit tighter rather than baggy and I don’t like the feeling of sweatpants. I feel more comfortable in leggings because they are stretchy and tighter instead of bigger and loose. I also believe that leggings are more flattering.

Seniors Hannah Newton and Jordan Waller both agree that leggings are better than sweatpants. The change in weather is one of the reasons that they believe leggings are the better option. “You can only wear sweatpants in colder weather, but you can wear leggings all year,” Newton said. Another reason they prefer leggings is that they go better with clothing trends that are popular. A current trend is wearing baggy shirts with tight leggings. “Leggings look better with baggier shirts than sweatpants do,” Waller said.

Senior Daytona Haymore likes both pairs of pants, but she prefers sweatpants over leggings because she thinks they are more comfortable. Haymore wears sweatpants more because she feels that they fit her overall style more than leggings do.  

Both pairs of pants provide a type of comfortability to different people. Wear the pair that you feel most comfortable in and prefer, despite what other people believe is the better choice and what is trendy at the moment. Wear the clothing that makes you feel comfortable and happy.
