well it's so wonderfully beautifully late 80's to early 90's- case in point with a ballerina's skirt or ala jessicaparker in 'la story'... but it certainly isn't for everyone. i will ponder... and definitely not in that color- but still
No thanks. Missed the trend in the '80s, and I don't mind missing it now.
However, I think I fit in to the "chunky ankles" (relative to the rest of my leg...) definition in the article, so maybe that's why. (And it explains why every time I've tried on capris they look horrible?)
Then again, it's a very rare occasion that I wear skirts anyway, so there's not much call for leggings in my wardrobe to begin with.
sarah jessica parker can pull off a LOT of stuff that would look horrifying on anyone else in all of man or womankind. or maybe she's not really pulling it off, and society is humoring her.
Oh my god, no. No, No, No. I refuse to do this to myself.
Reason 1: It would not look good.
And, two, if you've been reading "Go Fug Yourself," (which you must! it's great!) you'll note that the girls have been tearing into Lindsay Lohan for sporting this kind of thing all the time.
To whoever had the idea to do this, over there in fashion land: Screw bringing leggings back in. I want straight-leg jeans, with a waist somewhere between Under My Boobs and So Low My Ass Is Falling Out. Let's make THAT happen.
I stand firm behind the ladies of gofug and Trent at Pink is the New Blog. Leggings are bad. They are horrendous. And they are one of those fashion trends that are bad in theory and execution. They flatter no one. End of story. Friends don't let friends buy leggings.
I'm totally going to get these and wear them SKIRTLESS, just as regular pants. Because I missed out on the spandex wave when I was young, so I've got a lot of living to do!
Do you think they come in neon orange? Because if so, I will be so hot. Lohan hot!
Do we even need to go here?

Those look like my legs when I played Robin Goodfellow for summer stock.

Oh, dear.
Say it isn't so!

The picture came from UrbanOutfitter's CURRENT online selection. I'm not kidding. Twenty dollars and available in the lovely shade of "Aquarius."
Ash & Cue, I have been enjoying GoFug and Pink--good stuff.
her legs remind me of a sims character.
NOOO!
Urban, the home of my favorite t-shirt of all time??
Ah, CRAP.
