For those of us with fibro, soft clothes are our friends. :-) I have definitely learned this. Leggings are still not pants! But they can be worn very tastefully with long sweaters or under dresses.

Or more structured leggings made of thicker material than regular leggings (jeggings--although I despise that name and the ones that are trying to look like denim) with pockets on the outside can work with just a t-shirt.

If you want to change the leggings up a little bit, throw on a pair of leg-warmers over them! Supercute and you can pretend that you're a dancer while you're still standing. lol

The key to knowing whether leggings look good or not by themselves lies in the...nether-region area. If it's...defined...it's inappropriate. lol Also, get a pair that fits. If the waistband is too tight, they're just going to make you hurt the same way jeans do.
The reason all of this matters is that we already have fibromyalgia; we don't need to wear something that, while it makes us feel comfortable, leads other people to judge us harshly and make us feel worse about ourselves. Some of you might say that you don't care what other people think and you're going to just wear whatever you feel good in. There's some part of me that finds that admirable, but at the same time, it's been proven that if you actually take time to make yourself look nice, you feel better about yourself. And we need all we can get to feel better about ourselves! :-)
