Whoever Said Never Wear Leggings As Pants?!
Karl Lagerfeld once said, “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of life so you bought some sweatpants.”
Yet lately, celebs are ignoring his pleas to STOP wearing leggings as pants. Leather leggings, black leggings, skin colored leggings, leggings with cut outs or bold prints. Leggings are no longer just for workouts.
“It” girls like Kendall, Kylie, Gigi and Rhianna are almost making the legging look high fashion.
Kim K even seems intent on bringing back the bike short legging, sporting them with absurdly expensive accessories, heels and leather jackets on more than one occasion.
Maybe it’s the Kanye “Yeezy” effect- his last show was full ribbed leggings and skin tight body suits. Or maybe its the resurgence of 90’s sports labels such as Adidas. Or maybe celebrities, like many of us, just like an easy transition from gym, to lunch date to night time event.
Leggings are a notable street wear trend and one to observe, particularly as the sneaker commands the fashion world’s attention.
Pair with a bomber jacket, edgy sneakers or stiletto heels and a crop top. Easy, sporty style. Maybe the legging (or dare we say it- the BIKE SHORT) aren’t so bad.
