I am not going for the fame look, neon colours or stripey multi coloured full length type, but I saw some really cute ones yesterday, brown tweedy type with buttons up the side, like Prince's button pants. I want them.

I had leg warmers! I was a dancer so it came with the territory. I even had ones with sequins...


I would buy them. I've seen some very chic ones...

Sequins???

Do you still have them?
I think they are alot more about practicality than aesthetic now.
Are we getting old?

we had two pair between my sister and me.
a burgundy pair that i liked and a cream patterned pair that i wasn't fond of
and yes i know they are still up on a shelf in my closet at home

I had a blue pair, but they were bright blue. If I did find them, I doubt I would wear them, unless I could under my boots.

I remember then burgundy was THE colour to wear!

Do you wear any now?
At school when it was cold we wore tights and socks on top, so legwarmers now are a must for me.

MissMe said:

No, I don't have them any more. In my defense they were part of a dance costume, but I still wore them. I'm thirty four so I don't know that I'm old, but old enough that I wore leg warmers back in the day.

I bought a black pair two winters ago. They're cute. I don't wear them much, though.

so embarassing.

I just want a black pair to wear under my boots.

Mine were pink.

CarrieMpls said:

Explain.

MissMe said:

I've never owned legwarmers, by the way. I think it was right before my time, or I was clueless, or both.

How do you even wear them? They're supposed to bag at your ankles, right? Or was that just the 80's?

The moment Legwarmers come into my thoughts, the intro to 'High Fidelity' plays in my head.

I think legwarmwers only work if you have legs like these: Edyta Sliwinska..from Dancing with the Stars.

MissMe said:

OMG, Flashdance was my favorite movie as a teen. You know where Jennifer Beals is doing her "Maniac" maniac dance?! YES! I wanted to be her soooo bad.

Mine are definitely more Serena/Venus Williams than that Edyta chick.

Her legs are the same size as his arms

Her legs go on forever, otherwise if you have short legs..you look stumpy.

I find leg warmers very sexy on almost any woman´s legs...they compliment the legs and really look cute and sexy, as long as you buy them in the right color ( black, burgundy red, brown, etc.) . I don´t like the flashy ones, like neon or yellow , and I find them quite unsexy when they´re white. It also depends on what you combine them with.

At my high school, we had three girls cultivating the Pat Benatar look.

i'd rock these

I used to wear them to my dance classes from when I was young all the way through college. I was partial to pink but I had many colors. I don't know how I would feel about wearing them in public. Maybe under some pants if I was freezing.

Dance tights under pants can keep you pretty warm when it's not quite cold enough for long underwear but it's still pretty cold.
