TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS

Seriously. I don’t care if you have the legs to carry it off (I’m looking at you Lindsay Lohan and Olsen Twins). TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS.

Oh em gee. Congrats. You have skinny legs. I don't care. These are NOT pants. I don't want to see your business jiggling about. Cover that up.

Or you could learn the hard way:

kate: in first grade my mom sent me to school in thick tights and told me they were pants and i realized they were see-through at recess and cried

And I’m glad there is a website dedicated to this cause. [Tights Are Not Pants]

UPDATE:  Leggings are the same as tights. [Leggings Are Not Pants]
