SNL's Leggings Are for the Bed, the Couch, and the Other Side of the Couch
Saturday Night Live knows what you're really up to when you wear leggings. In a hilarious parody commercial on this weekend's episode, Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant make fun of leggings that are advertised for athletes. "Introducing Nike Pro-Chiller Leggings, designed for endurance but used for what most women actually do in leggings: setting up shop on the couch," the narrator says.
Kate McKinnon, in a baggy T-shirt and a messy bun, calls it like it is: "Let's get real. Leggings can be pants, pajamas, and a napkin." Other than being perfect for couch-lounging, SNL's leggings are spill-resistant and heatproof. "Because I bring the heat: leggings, blanket, laptop," Bryant says. Scroll down to see the video in full—we dare you not to laugh.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
