WTF, this is as bad as uggs in the summer. It's 90-some degrees throughout the majority of the country.

Just because some people wear them does not mean that we all should! lol.

Unfortunately I've seen girls dressed like that to bars. However, even if you like that look, it's not a good idea to go to rush wearing the same thing that you would wear to a bar/club with your girlfriends on a Saturday night.

I just recently left a job in retail and was utterly appauled that in fact, leggings are making a comeback!!! I don't really think they are appropriate for rush however. But on a sidenote: how long before legwarmers and the 2 colors of tubesocks make a comeback as well?

One of my friends has been cutting off tights to make leggings under a skirt for over a year now. She looks fabulous. However, she would look fabulous in a paper sack.

Unless you are SUPER SUPER SUPER skinny - I'm talking no butt, no hips, no thighs - don't do leggings under a straight skirt. I was a lot thinner the last time those were around and I still wouldn't have dared wear them.

Same with light denim - you'd better be skinny to carry it off.

The thing with fashion trends, at least in America, is that they are bastardized soon after mass production. We all know the 80s has come back. It's evident with the latest trends that have come by lately.

Yes, leggings will be "in" this FALL, presumably when it's cold, but you know girls will walk around with them on regardless of the weather (think Uggs). I personally think leggings are cute depending on the girls stature and what she's wearing it with. I don't think the jean skirts + leggings is cute, especially when everyone and her mother is wearing it. But if you want to get into specifics about Fall trends, leggings will definitely be there, paired with a long top, such as a tunic. I haven't seen much in terms of skirts but...you never know.

I don't see trends as a big deal like I used to. If you do a little research, you'll find that some of them are really nice and classy. But like I said earlier, mass production ruins everything because everyone looks like clones. That's a problem.

But, I digress.

What ever happened to individuality? Oh yeah. That was so last season.

The one good thing I can see with the leggings/miniskirt combo is that it minimizes my chances of having to see anyone's lady bits.

My personal fave leggings were on a girl today in the mall. They were skull patterned AND lace trimmed. Gotta love an article of clothing that can express your morbidity and femininity all in one.

I read that they tried to push legwarmers last season, but they just didn't catch on. The proposed explanation was that they make almost everyone look fat.

Sadly, I've seen quite a number of girls at my school wearing legwarmers.

This thread made me do a Daria flashback:

Tiffany - Ugh, stretch pants. Everywhere, stretch pants.
Stacy - Hey, these are stretch pants! I'm wearing stretch pants!
(Stacy panics and starts to hyperventilate; Sandi rushes over, grabs her arms, and shakes)
Sandi - They're leggings! They're leggings!
(Stacy lets out a high-pitched squeak of relief)

I am having seriously scary visions of bold, primary-color, geometric print oversized sweaters paired with an equaly bold color leggings/stirrup pants with slouchy suede boots for this Fall season.

If you can't invision the outfit I'm thinking of, watch some 1985-1986 era Facts of Life reruns. You'll shudder...Trust me.

If anyone ever tries to bring back the "BIG" hair of the 80's, I will slit my wrists. I am originally from Georgia and I think that us Georgia girls had the biggest hair this side of the Mason Dixon line.

Oh but it will come back..... b/c it was such a good idea the first time! Will we bring back the music as well? Truly that was the only good thing about the 80's.....
