Reasons Why Leggings Should be Allowed in School
by Taylor Miller
There are some rules that I just don’t understand, and one of those is the dress code rule regarding leggings, which I don’t agree with. The leggings dress code at Pierce High School says that you can wear leggings as long as you have a dress, shorts, or a skirt over them, and long shirts do not count as a dress. At this point, it seems that they are just being picky because if you wore a long shirt over leggings and shorts underneath, no one would be able to tell if you were wearing those shorts or not, so why does it matter? I believe leggings are a comfortable choice of pants that can be dressed up or down.
Imagine being able to look cute and not be uncomfortable and self conscious all day. Plus, for many girls it can be hard to find a good pair of jeans that fit well without them being overly expensive. It is much easier to pick up a pair of cheap black leggings that will fit pretty much any body type for half the price of jeans. Not everyone has tons of money to throw around on jeans, but leggings are a much more affordable choice.
