Maybe they do it because it's more COMFORTABLE to wear??Not everyone wants to wear jeans all the time or wear jeans at all.
This.
I wear leggings and a tunic most days because they fit, they're comfortable and they don't cost a small fortune.
I'm between misses and plus sizes and have a short inseam. I also have edema so pants have to have some flare or a good amount of give in the leg. When I find pants that fit my waist and have sufficient flare and are of decent quality material they're generally 4-6 inches too long so I have them shortened. By the time all is said and done, I've got $80-$100 pants. I reserve those for nice evenings out, events and meetings. I'm not wearing $100 slacks to run to Safeway.
My current favorite leggings are Lands End Starfish. I can catch them with a coupon for $25. They're a nice weight material, not at all see thru, a good inseam length, fit my waist and don't emphasize the difference in my calf size. Danskins are a second fave.
What I wear isn't saying anything other than "I have clothes on".
The only person I care about when it comes to judging my clothes is my husband.
I go to the gym in the morning, run errands, come home cook and clean, exercise the dogs; and then after my husband gets home we may go paddle board or ride bikes or something.
I asked him if he felt it was complacent that I was in gym clothes (albeit cute ones ) everyday and he is fine with that.

I'm from Denver, and ladies here wear active gear/spandex as their everyday wardrobe. I took a weekend trip to Crested Butte Colorado, walking through the town I literally was the only woman wearing jeans. I've traveled to a few places in the Midwest recently and did not see the trend in wardrobe there. In fact, I had a layover in the Nashville airport, saw a women in active gear and took a guess that she would be on my flight back to Denver...sure enough, I was right.
Is this a fashion trend seen in other cities?
And if it was last Sunday on the afternoon flight from BNA-DEN, then that might have been me. I'm guessing you were one of those gals in a dress and cowboy boots.

I fly in leggings all the time. EXCEPT when I fly on employee pass where the rules say they are not allowed.

I wear my gym clothes to the gym, or anytime we are going for a long walk or hike. I often do stop in the grocery store on the way home, but if someone doesn't like it, tough noogies.
I think once you've tried high tech gym clothes or shoes) you understand that this is the only type of clothing which is comforting your body ( doesn't get wet, dries fast, doesn't push or pull etc) and other clothes mostly torturing it and making you suffer ... they just can't resist...
I keep trying to get my wife to dress in active wear, because she actually has the body it was designed for: high and tight bubble bottom, long, tapering showgirl pins, and that maddening steatopygic, front-of-thigh fat deposit that originates in the plains of Africa. She just rolls her eyes and says "grandma taught us that tights are not pants".
