Netizens comment as a man with the username @uche87 call for the ban of Leggings outfit by women in Nigeria.
According to him the outfit is too revealing and is provoking.
Read his full submission on the reason why leggings should be banned; ” In the primitive age, unclothedness was the norm. Some societies covered their bodies with leaves. When enlightenment and westernisation reached Africa, many people began to cover themselves more modestly. But ironically, nudity seems to be gradually returning as the norm again. This trend is particularly noticeable among women. It is almost as if an outfit is incomplete unless it reveals some skin. With cleavage-baring outfits, short skirts, crop tops, sleeveless dresses and bikinis, a part of the body is constantly on display. Sadly, it appears this trend may only get worse.
The latest fashion trend, leggings worn by women, beggars belief. They are often so tight that the flesh of the person wearing them appears compressed. Every part of the woman’s body becomes exaggerated, pronounced and highly visible. The shape of the buttocks is clearly outlined, and some designs even create a deep division between both cheeks. The area between the legs is often so clearly marked that it leaves very little to the imagination. The thighs are not left out either. In many cases, the clothing seems designed to give a vivid idea of what the wearer’s body looks like without clothes.
Since men are often moved by what they see, the mind of the observer can easily become distracted. Thoughts and desires may be stirred, sometimes against one’s will. Some men who know they stand no chance may even resort to inappropriate behaviour or harassment out of frustration. In some cases, the fabric is so thin that it can even appear transparent. Stare too long, and you may find yourself almost hypnotised.
Women often argue that leggings are comfortable, which explains their popularity. However, their impact on observers, particularly men, is not always positive. These days, some women undergo procedures such as the Brazilian Butt Lift to enhance their figures and then highlight the results with brightly coloured leggings. When such a person walks down the street, it is difficult for many men not to notice them, whether intentionally or not.
A quick look at social media also reveals how common this trend has become. Many posts by young women feature them wearing leggings, displaying their figures to attract attention, followers, and engagement.
Personally, I sometimes wish women would dress more modestly, perhaps even wearing hijabs. I say this because I take life and my spiritual journey seriously, and I prefer not to be constantly distracted by visual temptations. I do not want to lust after what does not belong to me. For that reason, I truly look forward to the day when the leggings trend fades away, just like many other fashion trends that have come and gone.
