Packing my carry on... want to blend in....
I LIVE in leggings while at home in California (including in public, while out and about) as they are widely accepted here as casual wear. (And at 69, believe it or not, I still have great legs, just sayin'!)
I'm considering packing them for my upcoming trip (July-Sept 2024) to Germany, France and Portugal and have googled the question but the answers are all over the spectrum, and polar opposites: "YES, They wear leggings everywhere" to "Just to/from/at the gym!" and "Generally acceptable as casual wear as long as you don't try to visit churches or really small towns in Italy...." and "As long as you wear a long top or skirt for the sake of modesty"
ALSO, I read where shorts should always be knee length or longer!
I'd love to hear from folks who have recently been to Europe. What is the real scoop?
Thanks in advance :o}
EDIT: I have been in Germany for three weeks, and I have not seen a single woman(or person) wearing leggings … with the exception of three very “loud” Americans on a train in Berlin… so I believe the answer to my question is “Nein!“ leggings are not worn here in Europe (or at least in Germany).
