Leggings, leggings and more leggings

I was browsing Style and I came through one of their post about leggings, so I want to make one too (I have a fashion blogger blackout this week haha).


But seriously I think that leggings are the most versatile wardrobe piece ever. You can wear it with anything… pants, dresses, shorts; the list goes on and on. And it’s really comfortable. I personally prefer it more than pants. It just has this very casual, effortless and chic look. It’s like saying “I did not really think too much about what I’m wearing, I’m just really fabulous.”


We have the basic black and one colored leggings but here’s the picture of the more unconventional ones from A.F. Vandevorst, Rodarte, Meadham Kirchhoff and Rad Hourani Spring 2009 and others from past seasons:










pants or leggings?

hehe personally I say no to pants or leggings as pants - leggings underneath shorts and skirt and dresses? yes!

I haven't seen some of those leggings before. They go very well with the outfits ^^. They must have been chasing each other :)

leggings as pants is still hard for me to get used too.. unless i have on a really long tunic over them.. else i'll layer a skirt or shorts with it

as long as my butt is covered . . .

because it's sizeable and shouldn't be on display without sufficient restraint.

Leggings are def for layering. I know my blogging counterpart loves them as pants.

On another note, I really really love the lashed leggings. I need to DIY myself a pair of those.

I love the ones at the top right. Personally, I prefer tights to leggings, but both are preferable to pants.

Super skinny pants are fine, but leggings as pants is a big no in my books! Though I may make an exception for leather leggings worn by the French Vogue team...

Those are some avant garde tights! The most I could go for are leather tights! AND pants & leggings are my fav! But the same; absolutely NO using of leggings as pants! It's absolutely hideous!

Ah cutouts are interesting. Hmm I tihnk leggings are great for dresses who are too short to be dresses yet too long to be tops! & they don't add too much weight below too.

i can say that leggins are looking better than trousers, but I have never bought even one pair. I feel that I look like an idiot when I'm wearing them.

Leggings are so comfy, I love them. I have one pair of PVC leggings which ride down a lot tho, and another one that stretched out..so finding a perfect pair isn't so easy I think!

But anywho.. I'll have all the leggings in the pics you posted please. Thank you. x

Leggings date way back to the 80s, my mom said she used to wear one. Pants suit the general public, and will never be out of fashion, but leggings have a time and not all people are suitable them.

I like seeing leggings as pants, but I'd never dare to try and pull it off. I love all the ripped/cut out leggings at the moment

Leggings. I'm not usually a huge fan, but these are great ones.

I don't think leggings should ever substitute as pants. They reveal wayyyy to much.
