FROM teeny bra tops to barely there shorts - workout gear has definitely become a lot skimpier in recent years. But one woman found herself turning heads for all the wrong reasons, as she appeared to have turned up for her gym session without any trousers on. In fact, the leggings were so close to Kaila's actual skin colour that it just gave the illusion that she didn't have any bottoms on. Kaila took to her Instagram page to share a video of herself lifting weights at the gym, as she wrote over the top: "I almost left mid workout because I thought these pants were too unflattering.

"But then I decided, the woman I want to be wouldn't let insecurity keep her from reaching her goals.". She added in the caption: "Plus size bodies have a space in the gym. "You should never feel that you don’t belong at the gym because you your body isn’t perfect or you don’t look like what you want to look like.". However, the comments section was almost immediately filled with people insisting that the issue wasn't that the trousers were unflattering - but that they gave off "decidedly naked vibes".

"No matter the shape or size someone is, this colour is a no for everyone!" one wrote. "Anyone any size should stay away from skin colour pants," another agreed. "YOU look fine as you are, it’s just a bad colour choice. "You’re strong and beautiful, keep it up! (Just get a different colour pants next time haha).". "Petition to ban people from wearing flesh tone leggings. this is the third time I’ve been scarred by this," a third laughed.
"Omg my 6 year old watching over my shoulder said, 'Really? She’s just butt naked exercising?!?! That’s weird!'" someone else said. "Seriously thought she was naked," another agreed. "I thought it was going to read 'I almost left my workout because I forgot my pants' and it was going to be an inspirational post about persevering with or without pants on," someone else joked. No matter the shape or size someone is, this colour is a no for everyone!.
"Flesh toned leggings in a gym should be outlawed," another said. "No one wants to wonder if someone's naked. Save yourself the stares!". "Girl I thought you was butt a*s naked!" someone else laughed. Kaila then responded to the comments herself, as she insisted the trousers hadn't looked like a nude hue when she'd left to head to the gym. "FYI: the pants definitely look more purple in person!" she wrote.
