Fashion I don't understand: figured leggings

Another fashion trend that I simply don't get: figured leggings. While I can partially see this I don't understand the current craze for leggings, particularly the figured ones.  In the video below I find most of the looks and pairings cringe inducing.  Leggings not worn under a dress, skirt or tunic, in my personal opinion only look nice on one figure, that ever hard to attain slim body looks nicely in them, however those of us like me with a little extra weight look best with leggings under a tunic or longer top, skirt, or dress. Particularly the wildly figured ones can be particularly unattractive on the larger shape.   Into my memory springs the recollection of an only slightly larger than normal college aged girl ahead of me in line at Chipotle wearing wildly patterned leggings which accentuated every little bulge, ripple and crease.  Please note - I was not judging the girl, or the girl's body both of which were fine - only the way in which her clothes looked on her.  Of course - this is all my opinion only.  In reality I think people should wear what they feel attractive in and if that's print leggings then so be it. :-)
