No they aren’t. Boyfriend/girlfriend are variations ion straight legged pants, that are looser from the hips down. And wide legged pants are trendy right now.

Why? Obviously not all of the slogans are good but something small and affirming like “people like me are awesome” isn’t exclusive.

I don't like to see leggings on women wearing short tops, especially if they're on the heavy side, and having the fabric so stretched out that the underwear color is peeking through.
A lot of leggings are super sheer and people don’t realize it. I have seen visible underwear on women of all shapes and sizes.

I am not skinny and wear leggings, jeffinga and skinny jeans pretty much exclusively when wearing pants. It can work for many shapes and sizes as long as you get the right size, get thick and sturdy fabric and choose the problem shirt coverage.

I’m wearing skinny ponte pants today with a high hip length blouse and a cardigan.

And I LOVE that. There isn't much that is totally OUT of style.

We can wear mini skirts or maxi dresses.... skinny jeans or flowy pallazzo pants, crop tops or tunics....

Your slogan example does not identify/affirm any specific race over the other. It seems, some race(s) can get away with a lot more than others in terms of self-expression or self-affirmation.

I don’t get how “black girls rock” rocks your boat. That’s innoccuous.

I realize all tastes are different, but I think man buns look hot. And I'm a straight woman. But you know...I grew up during the 70's, and always thought guys looked good with long hair. (shrugging my shoulders.)

I like long hair on men, and I like tattoos if they are good designs, and well done. I actually like the shirts with the shoulders cut out, if I otherwise like the color and cut of the shirt and if it suits the wearer. *shrug*

God, I hope that fad dies out soon.
Oh, but you know what looks MEGA trashy to me, though... I saw a lady going into the store with really short denim shorts and ok, that's one thing, but for heaven's sakes the pockets. Why, WHY?? They were like cut off shorts (I guess?) and the pockets were dangling out the legs of 'em! What in the hell? How could anyone even think that looks ok?

And the only way I personally am ok with skinny pants, or leggings, or anything of the sort that is narrow at the ankle and form fitting like that, is generally with boots and a long sweater. That whole "yay, it's fall and I can wear my fluffy socks and boots" look. I'm down with that.

I agree.

Done correctly on the right guy I think man buns and long hair can be super sexy.

This guy can pull off both very well.
