No, leggings should always be worn with a shirt long enough to cover the butt, no matter the thickness. No amount of thickness is going to stop leggings from being tight and clingy.
If your leggings are see through, they shouldn't be worn with just a shirt ever, even if it is long enough to cover your butt. Shear leggings should only be worn under dresses or under pants for extra warmth.
If your "leggings" are see through....they aren't leggings.
Also, jeans are tight and clingy...no one covers their behind when wearing jeans.
I have skinny jeans that are just as form fitting as my leggings, same with my regular jeans.
Well, she's right. Certain things should just not be worn by certain body types, if they're concerned about their visual image. It's like an overweight man asking how to pull off horizontal stripes. Sure, they can do it, but their body type generally doesn't call for it. He can wear it, but he'll have to be aware that it will make him look even larger.
If a short woman is concerned about looking shorter, then yes, they shouldn't wear below the waist tops, which, as mentioned are one of your only options when wearing leggings as pants (which, to reiterate....ick)

And, yes, you can break up the long top with a belt at the waist, assuming you still have a waist...
Personally, I love knit pants. You know the kind... Not stirrups, but like stirrups without the stirrups. Baggy enough not to cling, yet slimming and comfortable. I, too, long ago swore off tight, binding jeans on "jeans day" at work. They sell for $8 at Walmart/K-Mart. Kinder, gentler leggings? But hopelessly unfashionable.
I'm only 5'2" and love leggings. I always wear them with sweater dresses that come just a couple inches past my butt. I also wear heeled boots with them. I'm sure you're just worrying too much and look fine with leggings.
I've got a few outfits like this in my closet too and I'm an inch shorter than you!

Jeans and leggings are two different things. Jeans are not as form fitting and clingy as leggings.
Unless you are talking about those fake jeans "jeggings", which are not jeans.
