Article discusses the growing demand for comfortable clothing in Korea, especially due to increased working from home and corona outbreak.

In the past, there was a huge perception that leggings are only worn when doing yoga, but recently, the demand for comfortable every day wear is skyrocketing. Sales of Xexy Mix surged from 21.7 billion won in 2018 to 107.8 billion won last year. 

As a result, bootcut leggings with a wide hem and leggings with pockets are now available for office wear.  At first glance they look like regular pants. A brand official stated, "If you wear a sweater or shirt that's slightly longer to cover behind, you can create a neat office look."

Meanwhile, demand for comfortable clothes is also increasing overseas. In July, Victoria's Secret launched a new lineup that includes leggings and sports bras and stated, "the world is changing so we need to respond properly too." 

1. [+5,489, -420] I get wanting to comfortable but ?? What is this nonsense? The people wearing this only want to look sexy to men. The double standards are seriously disgusting!
2. [+883, -24] Tailor your outfits according to TPO!
3. [+622, -24] So throwing on underwear and going to work ~~
4. [+537, -19] Have men wear this too. That way we can visualize properly whether we're sexually attracted to them too or not. 
5. [+295, -19] I'm a woman but this is just embarrassing and plain disgusting!
6. [+269, -3] I understand comfort but there's a reason you wear a wedding dress to a wedding and mourning clothing to a funeral. It's polite to dress according to the place and situation!
7. [+246, -24] ?? I've never once seen any decent kids who work at a good company or a huge conglomerate wear leggings to work? Only attention wh*res that work at entertainment bars or room salons..
8. [+205, -4] Comfortable? I'd be too worried coworker's buttocks will be exposed to everyone if they bend over. What's the point of wearing a slightly longer t-shirt that covers it? There are better outfits to wear to the office than leggings. It's nice to be comfortable and have the freedom to wear whatever but let's do it in moderation please.
9. [+128, -2] I honestly don't want to see women wearing leggings at work..
10. [+127, -1] I'm a woman too but please don't. There are many girls and women that look pretty in leggings but if you have a saggy butt it's a bit... And those panty lines too...hul ~ it's really embarrassing. Ladies, please check your Y zones and invest in good underwear if you're going to wear leggings! 
11. [+121, -5] I still don't understand women that wear skin-colored or light pink leggings when hiking. Makes me want to vomit seeing them hiking or walking in the streets. Such selfish people that only think of themselves but always want to cry eye r*pe. Disgusting!
12. [+113, -2] No...what's the difference between this and wearing stockings with no skirt?? Where are we supposed to put our eyes? Please don't walk the streets wearing clothes like this!!
13. [+86, -4] They might be comfortable but women who wear this are only looking to catch attention from men.
14. [+72, -1] You're free to wear it but please no complaints of eye r*pe!!
15. [+69, -0] I'm a woman but my eyes immediately go to the butt and Y zone..
