I feel like the creepiness is totally situational and depends on the tone, I also don’t think ANY comment on appearance is creepy, so I won’t comment on the creepiness but I will say the way OP pointed out this persons appearance feels like a neg.
If I were wearing some combination of clothing and someone said, “Wow, I’ve never seen someone wear ____ and ____, but I like it.” Id feel pretty weird. Sometimes when I go to the grocery store, I’ll put jeans on then decide eh fuck it I’m just gonna wear my slippers. And if someone said, “Wow I’ve never seen someone wear slippers and jeans before, but I like it.” I’d probably walk away thinking, “did that guy just roast me?”
I do agree, leggings is a weird thing to “compliment” as well. They have a cool shirt on, or interesting shoes, or like a wild design on their leggings, sure. But complimenting normal leggings that clearly were so normal, they just looked like legs (or vice versa) is kinda odd
