Highlights: "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.

It cannot be denied that a social network can be a harmful place, especially when every day a new fashion emerges such as the one that stated that every woman needs huge lips, a space between the thighs, and a special clip that pretends to make the nose smaller and turn it into a hat.

And on Tik Tok in general, women barely manage to get air from the creepy beauty ideals that constantly appear in the feed.

The last one is "Tights Legs".

What is?

It's a trend that implies that there is such a thing as ideal legs, and that only women with such (long and shapely legs) can wear tight pants and short skirts - and there is no entrance to cellulite, plump thighs, or short legs.

It seems that this particular trend started when people used the sync from the TV show "Gilmore Girls" where the character Paris (remember, a balanced and reasonable woman) says to Rory: "Nothing in life Not fair, when I see a girl with perfect tights legs."

Since then, many women have called out against the new trend, branding it "toxic" and offensive to teenagers who are sensitive to the app.

@emilyxpearl also declared "This has to stop. Do we understand what we are doing to a younger generation of women? Do we understand that 15-year-old girls who wear tights every day feel like they can't wear them because they don't have 'tights legs,'" she added in the video, which has been viewed 6.6 million twice.



Susan Baum, micro-influencer, lifestyle expert and mother of three shared her concern about the social platforms where these toxic trends come from.

"The latest 'tight leg' trend is really making me sick," she told Indy100.

"It's the ultimate toxic punch to the face when it comes to putting pressure on young women, making them think they have to have a certain body type to wear something."



"As someone who has never had thigh gap and is trying to embrace my cellulite, the fact that this 'trend' is being watched by millions of people makes my blood boil. In a world where I, as both a mother of three and a lifestyle editor who tries to promote body positivity and good mental health habits , it goes against everything I stand for. "Nothing in this trend is positive.

"TikTok is under fire for the toxic content that is here, and rightly so."

Meanwhile, Hannah O'Donoghue-Hobbs, a social media manager and mother of two, raised similar concerns about how such dangerous trends continue to emerge.



"This has been happening for years, from waist measurement challenges and other horrible social media-based trends. A lot of it has happened because of heavily edited photos of celebs and influencers, and I really think it's something we need to deal with as a community. It's true that the platforms claim to have different tactics and warning flags to support In people who may be adversely affected - they simply do not work. It is important that we all be well aware of the technical ways to block certain content on our platforms."



In 2022, Dove's Self-Esteem Project surveyed more than 1,000 girls aged 10 to 17 and found that one in two say toxic beauty advice on social media makes them feel low, and 90 percent of girls say they follow at least one account that makes them feel less beautiful.

The report detailed how the media feed has replaced celebrities as their source of inspiration and entertainment, and is also where they go for tips and advice - especially when it comes to beauty.



"This narrow, idealized version of beauty can lead to the development of negative perceptions about the body.

This can lead to body image problems, low self-confidence, low self-worth and the development of unhealthy behaviors such as excessive eating or not eating excessively, and obsessive training," the psychologist explained, noting also that the pressure to conform and fit in may "contribute to the development of anxiety and depression, and Social anxiety due to "the constant fear of being judged; of not being perfect; of not being good enough, which will ultimately affect the way they build relationships and friendships."
