Leggings

Is anyone else hating the current resurgence of leggings? They were ugly in the 80s and they're still ugly now. They're just wrong

I am not a big fan and I never really was-some people can wear them, I just pass.

omg i love them! but you have to be like super skinny to pull them off

and you have to wear it the right way, not the 80s way!

Do you mean leg warmers?

no mel, leggings are like tights but made of cotton.

Sometimes I like them, sometimes I don't. I bought a pair but returned them.

aome people can pull them off, but i never will. there's way too much of me to be showing off. lol

Actually they do look pretty good like this.

I agree, i wear them under denim mini skirts with cute ballet flats - only in black or dark brown though.

I'm against them coming back 80s style (i.e. as a substitute for trousers in all kinds of carzy colours) even though i was a culprit back then lol.

at least they're not as bad as gauchos. I can't stand the gaucho trend.

***cottoncandy*** · 03-14-2006, 04:56 PM

It's in the culotte family, but it has a lower waist (with no waistband) and the knee openings are more flared (almost skirt like). Another way to think of them is they're like a skirt with separate leg openings. I call gauchos "culotte's ugly cousin". I detest them.
