Do tights = pants?

The divalicious JHud was spotted at LAX on Monday looking comfy and ready to take flight in her travel wear, and she reminded me of a question Nylon Magazine posed in it's Young Hollywood Issue (May 2008). Are leggings to be worn in lieu of pants? Are tights alright as more than an undergarment? Tyra clearly thinks so. Oh and Mary Kate, Ashley and Lindsay have pretty much decided to wear leggings in lieu of pants from now until henceforth. As much as I am a fan of tights and leggings under long tops or short skirts, the whole phenomenon of wearing them as pants makes me uneasy. IMO, it's just too much information. fasdf What do you think? Are leggings as pants totally bohemian chic? Or should these women be fined for the crime of cameltoe? asdfas P.S. There's a whole website dedicated to stopping the movement of tights as pants, check it out here... Source
