FASHION PICKS: ROCKIN’ LEGGINGS

Monday, October 15, 2007

ameraplame.jpgI’ve been receiving many emails about this latest trend of leather or black shiny tights. Leggings have been a substitute for pants for a while now, some favor the look and some really hate it. So I guess leather or lame tights will receive the same reaction, either you like it or you don’t. I personally think the look is hot when it is maneuvered correctly, plus if you want to do the tights in the winter weather, these could be a better option.

Stars have even been fans of the tights lately as we’ve seen recently on Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Keyshia Cole, and Lauren London. Though the ladies rock the tights in different ways, it commonly adds a rocker flair to their looks.

So you sold on a pair? A great pair to start with if you want this look would have to be the Lamé Legging at American Apparel (pictured above).

Legging was hot back in the 80″s. Seem like nothing is new anymore. Reinventing the wheel, trying to make something old hot again….

Wow, looks like the 80’s are back in full force. What’s next? lace gloves, neon bracelets, stirrups and Lee’s?
I like Keisha’s take on the leggings b/c she’s wearing a longer top that makes it a bit more conservative.

GOOD LOOK!

ALL OF THE LADIES LOOK VERY NICE…..

LADIES IF YOU HAVE HIPS, BUTT, & THIGHS PLEASE IF YOU MUST ROCK THESE DO THEM IN A FLATTERING WAY -LIKE J-LO’S ENSEMBLE

I CAN SEE THIS FAD GOING VERY WRONG-IF THE LADIES DON’T KEEP IT IN CHECK

PROCEED WITH CAUTION LADIES!

I love those leggings. The first time I remember seeing them was on Ciara. She’s rocking them on one of the pics from her CD. I know it’s an old look but she was one of the first to bring them back.

23.

LADYBUG51105

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

They look nice on all the ladies. You have to have the right body type and ensemble to pull it off though. My legs are too skinny, so this wouldn’t look right on me……just imagine baggy leggings :-)

Although a tinge bit baggy, JLo threw it on the best.

They are hot, but the jury is still out on this one for me.

Tianna, girl, you have NO idea how right on time this column is today! LMAO My niece is turning 16 in a couple of weeks, and she wants to wear these things underneath a sequined mini dress for her party, and I have been SCOURING the Internet trying to find some cute, semi-dressy ones for her to wear with her dress.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I’m just getting OLD. LOL

34.

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

BRANDON

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT LOOK WHEN IT IS APPROACHED AND COMPLETED WITH THE RIGHT TOP AND SHOES….BASICALLY, IF YOU ARE A SIZE 8+, THIS LOOK IS NOT FOR YOU!

37.

Nikki

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

I bought a pair in gold….lol. But I get A LOT of compliments on them, from men and women. And someone was wondering how to wash them. I hand-wash mine (in cold) and hang them to dry.

38.

TINA

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

Look like some tight ass leather pants to me.

39.

yeah......and what!

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

I like this look But I only like them in black or a dark color, and it’s not for everyone either. My husband wants me to get some but I’m like were is my grown azz wearing them LOL I will say my lil sister has something like them she wore to club and she looked cute but she’s 19 and I’m 29 with a daughter so hey. Oh but maybe I will get some to wear for my husband during out date nights. LOL

those things look like fitted hefty bags wrapped around their legs. leggings are so 80s. seeing them things regain popularity makes me wanna break out my neon pink and green la gears and blast my please hammer don’t hurt em tape lol. i’m just not feeling the look at all but more power to those who love them

41.

Tay

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

I agree, when done correctly they look good. However, I personally wouldn’t make this fashion statement. Not a big fan of the leggings unless necessary, meaning under a pair of jeans in the winter.

42.

xtina

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

I bought a pair from summer, so i will be pulling them back out with some sexy shoes..And #3. All fashion was once fashion already.. It just rotates and what was once old just comes back years later. Look at how big retro got this year! High waisted/skinny jeans, platform shoes, big sunglasses, high top sneakers.. u name it!

43.

lashawn

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

THe look good on all the ladies pictured above. However, everybody can’t pull them off and I’m sure some folks that shouldn’t even put a foot in them will be wearing them…lol

44.

Ninagirl

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

I luv this look….. but its especially hot the way Keysia Cole rocked it. I will be looking for me some really soon and a real cute top that will bring it all together. I recently saw that leather pants were trying to make its way back this Fall but I would prefer the leggings anyday.

45.

SapphireBlu

i, for one, hate them

46.

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

I couldn’t rock them, but they are still adorable!

47.

regina

I like the leggin’ look. I have tried it and it is fun, easy, and comfortable. Hey get it with a belt and some cute pumps and it’s an outfit.

48.

regina

@ xtina
You are correct. Fashion is nothing but Deju vu’…….

JLo and Lauren London are wearing them well. Lauren is a gorgeous girl.

These leggings should come with a warning label, and only in certain sizes. Most people shouldn’t try this at home, and lawd knows we don’t need to see these on anybody over a certain size.

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

I like them, The leggins are not for everyone but they are workable. keish coles is a hit or miss when it comes to fashion sometimes she looks very nice and sometimes she jsut ooks liek she woke up.

52.

lainybug

Monday, October 15, 2007 /

I seen this girl with a lot ass and cottage thighs wearing leggings and it was just wrong on so many levels.

Tights?! All this time I thought they were wearing leather pants.

They all look good with them…I mean it’s a simple look so you can’t go too wrong…but J-Lo looks fierce! I must say with the way females are dressing to the office these days, I hope this is something I won’t be seeing on anyone in their cubicle. :|

#16 Thank GOD for small miracles. Those leggings does not need to come in plus sizes as this style is not for the big girl. Sorry but true.

That stuff looks tacky to me. It does the opposite of what it’s supposed to do so when girls wear them they look like they have a severe case of noassatall.

Applaud @ #21

I def have to do the JLO look myself…but even if I didn’t have hips I would still rock them like her cuz it just looks more sofisticated like that…BTW Love L-Boogie though.

I say if you so badly want to rock these tights, a good 45 minutes on the treadmill everyday for a month straight, girl, you gon’ be lookin fierce. Just a suggestion. Hell, it worked for me.

I like the way everybody rocked it though. Did somebody say, they got their leggings in gold. How and where???

Now watch all the fat chicks calling themselves “thick” go cop a pair….just cause it’ll expand to fit all your fat inside them leggings don’t mean you should be wearing them, but if i could put money on it, i’m willing to bet that’s who we’ll see rockin these the most….
