Dutch swear words on women’s leggings
It’s tough enough having to deal with this item of clothing that crawled back out of the gym and came back on to the streets, but now you can have cool leggings with nasty Dutch words on them like ‘kut’ (cunt, used as an exclamation like shit!) and ‘lul’ (dick, used more like dickhead, although they have words for that, too). Brazilian-born Amsterdam-based designer Bea Correa of Mind What You Wear has leggings and other trendy items like ‘skorts’ (a skirt and shorts combo), wool hats for penisses, and fake Louis Vuitton bags that were pulled off the market after LV got legally upset with her.

I can see that I am not the only one that thinks that Dutch women do a huge disservice to themselves with their legging obsession. The combination “frilly summer skirt/dress” + thick leggings is particularly bad. Luckily you people are tall, which means that some fashion disasters are a bit more bearable. I shudder to think what would happen if the leggings virus invaded places where people have thicker bodies and shorter legs.
Walter – try riding a bike with a skirt sometime. Then you will understand leggings. :)
I just might, you know… every day from Rotterdam to Delft.
