When did tights become pants?

Tights. Are. Not. Pants! When did it become okay to wear tights with shirts that are not long enough to cover your butt?

Shanae Grimes: The worst offender. Period.
She has taken this to a whole new level with see through lace tights! Not to mention this outfit is rediculous

Sienna Miller: The Worst Dance Inspired Offender
She looks like she just got out of her ballet rehearsal than managed to put on a fur shirt and ugly boots so she could look "normal". Didn't quite work.

Mischa Barton: Least Flattering Offender
The tights are wrinkling, shes wearing flat shoes...nuff said



Lindsay Lohan: The Repeat Offender
There are many more offenses than just these two.

Would you wear tights as pants?
