Woman Explains Why She Will No Longer Wear Leggings
By Michele
Veronica Partridge, 25, wrote in her blog that since wearing leggings or form-fitting yoga pants could cause men to have lustful thoughts, she has decided to only wear them at home or at least make sure that her rear end is well covered in public.
Veronica Partridge's latest blog post, which has recently gone viral, goes into detail about how a conversation with her husband lead her to deciding not to wear leggings ever again.
"For the past several months, I have been having a conviction weighing heavy on my heart," Partridge wrote. "I tried ignoring it for as long as I could until one day a conversation came up amongst myself and a few others (both men and women). The conversation was about leggings and how when women wear them it creates a stronger attraction for a man to look at a woman’s body and may cause them to think lustful thoughts. God really changed my heart in the midst of that conversations and instead of ignoring my convictions, it was time I start listening to them and take action."
"If it is difficult for my husband who loves, honours, and respects me to keep his eyes focused ahead, then how much more difficult could it be for a man that may not have the same self-control?" she wrote.
A discussion about the wardrobe staple with her friends prompted her to ask her husband Dale how he feels about women wearing leggings.
Her husband had a surprising confession to make.
"When I walk into a place and there are women wearing yoga pants everywhere, it's hard to not look. I don't, but it's not easy," he said.
After that, Partridge's conviction to give up leggings only became stronger. She said that her decision was for her husband and daughter, who she wants to set a good example to.
"My conscience is clear and I feel I am honoring God and my husband in the way I dress."
Since her blog post was published, many people have had mixed reactions, with some supporting Partridge in her decision, and others expressing their disagreement.
"If you really have an issue with yoga pants/leggings attracting attention because they are form fitting, then you better throw out wearing jeans too. Otherwise you are being hypocritical. Jeans show just as much 'behind' and thighs that yoga pants do," a commenter named Just me wrote in response.
Surprisingly, some of the positive comments came from her male audience. One person named Jake commented, "As a young adolescent single male, it is hard to ignore women who dress immodestly...if that's a word. However, I've found (from first impressions) that a woman is most attractive when they dress modest(ly)."
What do you think of Partridge's decision?
