THIS MAY NOT be the weather for striding through the streets wearing leggings but, then again, it may be better to get used to these flashy designs inch by inch, peeking out from under a winter coat, that sort of thing.
All kidding aside, these metallic, sometimes holographic, sometimes iridescent leggings are everywhere! And if you got it, flaunt it, as they used to say (though not to me).

What she said.
no. just no. except alone, in the house, maybe. The sight of grown women trotting around in leggings makes my eyeballs ache.
I’m sooooo glad I don’t have the legs (or anything else) for those leggings! I don’t even have to think of an excuse not to parade around looking like a circus performer. I haven’t (yet) seen anyone not in perfect shape try one of these, but I’m sure that day is coming (and I fear for the spring surrender of protective outerwear).
