Compression leggings... Do you wear shorts over them?

So ... Do you wear shorts over your compression leggings or rock them alone? What's the done thing? :-)

I do the running skirts over them...the world is not ready to see my @$$ in all it's spandex glory!

Lol I'm sure it's fine!! :-)

It depends. If I am wearing underwear (such as wind briefs) under my tights, I don't bother with shorts. If not, I wear shorts. If I'm wearing tights, it's cold enough that I have a long shirt or jacket that covers my butt. Down to 45 degrees F (7 Celsius), I just wear shorts without tights.

So it's not a total no no... I generally just wear normal leggings without shorts... I wondered if compression ones have different rules! :-)

I don't wear compression leggings, but regular leggings without a long top or skirt over them leave me feeling exposed in public. . . eek! I wear short, light skirts a lot of the time if I'm working out in public with leggings on.

I often see people hiking or biking in leggings with shorts over them, especially men. I've done it myself a few times-- better than having the world see my rear end! But I'm more modest than most people.

Yea, longer line t shirts might be good :-)

More for the front than the back maybe ;-)

I wear longer tanks over them

Edie30

Yes I might get some :-)

I just wear them "as is". I'm going for a run, so no point in being concerned about otherwise.

I wear leggings… not necessarily compression ones. But I wear them alone… no shorts over top. And honestly I don't worry about T-shirt length either. But then I'm an apple shape, so my butt and thighs are not the worst part of me.

Yea I think it looks fine without i just wondered if it was a thing!! :-)
