"Tights legs" is a new fashion trend on Tik Tok. It implies that only women with ideal legs can wear tight pants and short skirts.
Many women have called out against the new trend, branding it "toxic" and offensive to teenagers who are sensitive to the app. "TikTok is under fire for the toxic content that is here, and rightly so," says Susan Baum, micro-influencer, lifestyle expert and mother of three. "It's the ultimate toxic punch to the face when it comes to putting pressure on young women," says Hannah O'Donoghue-Hobbs, social media manager.
