A scathing letter to the editor about leggings inspired students at Notre Dame University in Indiana to organize a movement and wear the garments in protest
"Leggings are so naked, so form fitting, so exposing. Could you think of the mothers of sons the next time you go shopping and consider choosing jeans instead?" a Catholic mother wrote.
Maryann White urged female students to stop wearing leggings in a letter to the editor this week in The Observer, a student newspaper serving Notre Dame University, Saint Mary's and Holy Cross Colleges. She said young women wearing leggings make it harder for men not to look at their bodies. She said she was ashamed for the women she saw wearing leggings and crop tops at a Catholic Mass she attended. "You couldn't help but see those blackly naked rear ends.
— The Observer March 26, 2019 Jarrett was impressed by people's responses to the movement."I've been surprised by the amount of support that this has gotten from male and masculine-presenting students," Jarrett said."My guy friends have sent pictures to me in leggings. People in classes have said, 'Look at all of the guys in my class wearing leggings today.'" View this post on Instagram I love purple. I love leggings.
