What is the purpose of leggings?
Leggings in various forms and under various names have been worn for warmth and protection by both men and women throughout the centuries.
What is the difference between tights and leggings?

Why are leggings bad?
Dr. Joshua Zeichner explains that tight-fitting clothes like workout leggings can trap sweat and clog pores. People that wear tight exercise clothing, like leggings, are more susceptible to ringworm when they sweat. Tight pants increase the risk of infection on the skin and genitals, particularly fungal infections.
