Are leggings under a skirt considered modern looking for teenage girls? If yes what do 14/15 year old girls wear in Lakewood? They don't want to wear knee socks anymore and they don't like stockings.

I assume it depends on your circles but yes, it’s a more modern look in my circles.

Yes, it's considered a modern look. Especially without socks or short socks & the legs show.

Not necessarily bad no. It means that it's not acceptable in your circles or community. It's a lower standard for them.

Not considered "normal" or "yeshivish" here in lkwd but I would have zero problem with it if my daughter wanted to make sure her socks met the leggings at all times...

Why "lower"? Maybe it's a higher standard, as it provides more coverage than tights?

Who can wear leggings in this heat?? It's over 90 out there today! Save the nice thick leggings for the winter!
That having been said, I'm seeing plenty of married women in skirts and leggings these days. Maybe the standard is changing.

Amother white, how does it provide more coverage than tights? It's generally worn without socks and the legs show. It's definitely not the norm for teens to wear in Lakewood.
Besides, it's so hot, I can't evem imagine wearing leggings under a skirt. Especially black leggings.

Where I am, the girls wear cotton leggings under knee length skirts. The leggings do go down to the ankles, and they like to wear them with short boots and socks.
It's not at formal looking as tights, but I wouldn't dare say they were less "frum". It's just a different look, and says nothing about their level of yiddishkeit.
If the girls are hot, that's their problem, not yours. At least they are covering their legs with something that is not sheer, or non existent. If they cover happily without a complaining, that's 99% of chinuk!

Tights are usually less opaque than leggings.

But it really DOES say something about their level. I live in the same city as you, Frantic Frummie, and NO Bais Yaakov here says in their takanon that a girl may wear leggings under a skirt. (Actually even in my US "OOT" city, the girls at BY were not allowed to wear leggings).

Oh my gd, let your daughters wear leggings!!! Why on earth is this something to fight over? stockings are soooo uncomfortable and itchy so if they want to wear leggings please just let them. There are so many more important issues to worry about. Like your daughters resenting tznius (or your version of it) because wearing leggings is a fight.
