I tweeted this photo a few days ago with the caption,
"New fashion criteria: Would my mother have worn them while pregnant?

In fact, my leggings a few days ago were directly inspired by a pair I vividly remember latching onto as a wee tot.
Leggings are the best. And while I realize that they're not exactly prime attractants of the masculine audience, they certainly make up for it with their extraordinary comfort, ease, and believe it or not - variety.
So you can see why I'm a little disheartened to see so many girls reverting to the plainest of plain leg accoutrements, when there are literally a painful number from which to choose.

Yes, I too own the requisite pair or two (or five) of the black & unadorned sort - but I've become embarrassingly attached to the - corduroy textured (here & here), riding-themed (similar), zipper-embellished, grey, green, and now blue - leggings that grace my glutes on an embarrassingly recurrent occasion.
In no way do I advocate that you become a chronic dress-code offender like myself ("all things in moderation", or so the obnoxiously self-controlled say), but a textured or patterned legging from time to time makes wearing a white tee that much cooler.
This is me. I am wearing: sunglasses: vintage Laura Biagiotti, shirt: Pitaya, leggings: Hue, boots: Franco Sarto, |
And if you're distraught by the thought of your exposed derière (or lack thereof) simply do as yours truly and wear a shirt with a built-in tush apron.
What do you think? Leggings: stylish or not? Would love to know.
Cheers.
