And yes.. "Flashdance" sweatshirts and sweaters are back in as well. Just thank goodness they horrid padded shoulders aren't back!

We'll see how well they take off in real life. Some of this stuff is built up to be the next big trend and it never really takes off as much as they want it to.

And it's probably still not appropriate for rush, unless it's more of a later in the fall rush.

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?

All I have to say is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

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.

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)
