I sensed impending mass fad disaster today, when I saw that two different girls had poured themselves into denim look, jean-style leggings, chambray blue in colour, Bettina Liano signature-style white stitching down the sides, with printed-on bum pockets! I believe Supre is to blame, but they usually are.Life In Leggings.
1. Leggings should be worn as an accessory, with clothes.
2. Wear them with loose fitting tops that rest beneath your backside, and cover your front bum.
3. Do not wear leggings with a midriff top unless your name is Turleen, and you live in a trailer.
4. Only a small percentage of the population actually believes that leggings can be passed off as trousers in the work place. Don't tuck your shirt into them and sashay around the office, no matter how svelte you are.
5. Exposed, full-leg legging exposure is only really ever forgivable if you happen to be entering a gym, or if your name is Sandra Dee, and you've just had a bad girl makeover from the pink ladies. Oh yes, indeed.

Oh. My. God. Haven't seen these yet, I must say. Not even in the 'classy' shops over here, such as Internacionale, Mark One or Logo. Painted on pockets?? Where are you meant to put your smokes and spare scrunchie (you know, for when the first one gets pulled out in that bitch fight at Flinders)?
They have hit the commass market (not commercial, but commass), and I have no idea why. The mole gene runs rampant in a design house somewhere in the world.
Luckily, they have a certain genetic redundancy built in. You see, they're extremely flammable, and tightly hug important anatomical bits. So if Turleen (after eight too many cooking sherries) accidently ashes into her lap, the whole garment will incinerate in a microsecond. Depending on the prevailing wind, this might also ignite the peroxide in her platinum mane. This is what Tom Wolfe was really getting at in penning ‘The Bonfire of the Vanities’.
At work, I've been seeing these little rich girls wearing tights that are 'denim' coloured, with printed stiching.
The thin ones look scary, the fat ones look,well, fat.
About time the law was laid!!
Voodoo do them in black - with real belt loops and stitched pockets, saw them being snapped up by middle aged women shopping in Myer. They probably know all the lyrics to Grease too and will wear them to climb on tables in bars when they've had too many cheap shaaampynes.
Will the skinny young chicks wear them? Nah, they presume they'll make them look fat. No, the really curvy chicks will pour themselves into them thinking that they're both comfy and slimming. Bless.
I've got chills they multiplying...
