Kim Kardashian Wears Leggings As Pants In California (PHOTOS, POLL)

Kim Kardashian showing off her figure in tight clothes? Never!

For her most recent figure-flaunting outfit , Kim ditched a traditional waistband in favor of stretchy leggings while out shopping for a tennis racket with her mom Kris Jenner in Calabasas, Calif., this weekend. She paired them with heeled black boots, a white tank and a denim vest. Rounding out the casual ensemble? A not-so-casual purse: a luxe pink Chanel bag.

It's not like this is the first time Kim's flaunted her figure in leggings. There was this time. And this time. And this time. And... well, you get the idea.

But the Daily Mail scorns this recent sans-pants look, opining that Kim's stretchy bottoms are "too tight" and "unflattering."

Maybe someday we'll have some sort of leggings-as-pants Yalta where the world will peacefully agree on whether the two can ever trade roles. Until then... debate away.

There are some leggings that I do think are fine to wear as pants. But the sheer kind that are just a tad bit thicker than panty hose that you can see through are a HUGE NO NO. If you're not wearing a shirt long enough to cover your behind wearing those then that's just a hot mess. But I have several that are cotton or pleather that are thick. Would you rather us start running around in those juicy sweats again?

Kim looks alright in the leggings she is pictured in here but I'm tired of seeing her in them so often. They aren't the most flattering look on anyone in my opinion but they are comfortable. Her sister, Khloe looks terrible in them!

Kim is no fashion icon, so why should anyone care? U can get her style at Kmart... now her sis , the petite one , dresses lovely... sorry I do not know her name.

I wear leggins as pants at home and out with boots. They are thick enough and usually are worn with a long top. I think they're totally appropriate. I do think Kim is a bit "chunky" but she doesn't look bad in them.

If the crotch is covered, tights can be very liberating and chic.

She's gross. Stop putting her pictures up. She has no talent at all and nothing to offer. Her lips look like she had an allergic reaction to something-yuck.

Why would they stop? The more hits their page get's the more money they charge advertisers. So with someone like KK it's a double win. Her fans come and look and so do her haters. I you want her to go away the first person that has to stop paying attention to her is you.
