Rainwear Central Rainwear Forum

I quite often where leggings with my wellies and raincoat whilst out and about, so my thoughts are its a nice idea.

Wore just that (no brolly) when dog walking in the rain last Monday - not in the woods tho'.
Down the side of a stream & thro the streets.
Met a few people walking dogs & not one comment about attire - basically because it was chucking it down with rain!

Hi - when you say 'girlfriend's leggings', do you mean waterproof trousers? I used to have a girlfriend who referred to her waterproof trousers as leggings. I loved that..!

My mum used them waterproof trousers, 'leggings'

Leggins was common in the midlands for waterproof trousers
Everyone who had a bike or motorbike wore "Leggins"

So the term has returned!!

Always remained & used here in Lincolnshire; part of the East Midlands according to some....

I am from Derby so yes the East Midlands
So I know the term!

Isn't it also custom in the East Midlands that you wear them directly over underwear (or nothing) not over other jeans / trousers ?????

No not if you were going to work or out!!
