Legginz

subcategory: footless tights.

I own TWO pairs of legginz! One pair is exclusively a gym pair. The other pair I bought yesterday in Primark. They are FULL LENGTH. I could wear them, with a DRESS - like the young people do!

But don't I hate this ridiculous look? Haven't I always hated it?

WHY AM I THINKING I HAVE COME ROUND TO IT!

I blame Skins, micebass, Enrique, and Tears For Fears.

What do you think of wearing LEGGINZ? Do YOU wear them? Do you think I should?

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:40 (eighteen years ago)

sp - legginz => leggings!

The more you type the word, the funnier it is.

PS - I wore leggings in the 90s.

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:41 (eighteen years ago)

i think you were supposed to wear them in the 80s?

hey remember those ones with the stirrups? holy hellz

Chubby emo girls in prom dresses and leggings is some of the hottest shit ever.

posh name for long-johns.

Which look like this:

Although in this case they were bib tights but you would not know for the looking.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:46 (eighteen years ago)

I like legginz and here is why:

1. You can wear them with socks and boots and they are more comfortable than footted tights and boots.
2. When it's a little warmer, but not warm enough for bare legs, but too warm for footed tights, legginz are a good compromise.

I like legwarmerz for commuting!

― jennyjennyjenny (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:46 (eighteen years ago)

Leggings are thicker than footless tights.

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:48 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, but more breathable.

I like leggins, especially for sleeping in.

― The Whistling Bus (kate), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:49 (eighteen years ago)

I'm definitely not feeling these for anything other than gym wear.

― Ms Misery (MissMiseryTX), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:54 (eighteen years ago)

The trend seems to be - legginz plus BALLET pumps, thus exposing your poor puny ankles to the freezing ice cold air - this surely cannot be very comfortable? However... I also have a pair of LEGWARMERS! perhaps I could wear these WITH the legginz!

Outfit concieved of = dark green smock drees + LEGGINZ + dark green pumps! I think it matches too much!

SPEAK YE NOT OF STIRRUPS. I remember those too. My pair were shiny lilac. Or lavendar. Good heavens.

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:58 (eighteen years ago)

I have not owned leggings since my extended and regrettable love affair with them in the 90s. The only way teenage me could countenance wearing a short skirt was to wear thick black leggings underneath. Other favourite outfit = leggings with oversized ex-army jumper. 'Customised' DMs obligatory with both of the above looks, naturally.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:59 (eighteen years ago)

I hesitate to come down too hard anti-leggins; they're so easy to mock and I do tend to hate them on the hipper-than-thou but they're prob very useful for middling weather or for making a short dress more wearable or any number of things. I am sworn never to adopt them, though.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)

I had some horrific bright pink stirrup leggings, pre- the grunge years. I don't know which legging era was worse, really.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)

Only black leggings are acceptable.

― The Whistling Bus (kate), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

Laurel, you found a personal excuse for Crocs and I found one for legginz. We all have our fashion crosses to bear.

No stirrups, though. All I can remember about stirrups from my youth are that the legs were never long enough and I always ended the day with the crotch of my pants somewhere just north of my knees.

― jennyjennyjenny (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:04 (eighteen years ago)

1. too old
2. legs not thin

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:04 (eighteen years ago)

Note: I have drastically softened my anti-Crocs stance in your honor, Laurel.

― jennyjennyjenny (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:04 (eighteen years ago)

Laurel... that's what I said whenever the 'trend' started... and now I am perilously close to the edge! Join me wavering on the top of the cliff!

I remember legginz w/ oversized sox over the top pulled down over your boots - I think it umst have been a development from oversized school socks?!

xpost: Crocs?! D00d.

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

Laurel, you found a personal excuse for Crocs and I found one for legginz. We all have our fashion crosses to bear.

haha, I shall not be anti-leggings for this reason alone.

― Ms Misery (MissMiseryTX), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:07 (eighteen years ago)

OK ok my legs are thus:

MUSCLY CALVES (I have definition for goodness sake)
THIN ANKLES (the only bit of me that is, CHIZ)

I think therefore, I could carry off 3/4 length and longer legginz. Just below knee legginz = not so good. (JBK legginz = my gym pair).

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:07 (eighteen years ago)

Just watch that your legginz are long enough. If they cut a line across mid-calf, they'll make them look (heaven forbid) chunky.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:10 (eighteen years ago)

You should definitely embrace the nouveau leggings look starry.

I quite like it myself, on other people... It is cute and practical at the same time and evokes ballerina-ness. BUT I dread to think what my post-natal hips and bum (and the ankles I had all along) would look like in a legging.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:11 (eighteen years ago)

i love my plain black leggings. they make several of my othewise too short skirts and vintage dresses wearable.

however, i saw the worst thing on the subway the other day: a woman was wearing a pair as pants/trousers with nothing over them, and a short cropped ski jacket so no coverage even from a coat. overlooking the obvious questionability of this look outside of a resort context, there were two big problems:
1) she was REALLY pear shaped.
2) she was wearing a thong, which was totally visible. and because her leggings were almost a tights/leggings hybrid, she had a severe wedgie on display for all to see. lord have mercy!

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:13 (eighteen years ago)

Jenny, you know I can't justify the Crocs no matter how hard I try -- I just have to turn off my sensibilities when I put them on. Not so bad around the house/grocery store, but I have decided no more wearing outside my home neighborhood no matter how comfy. They save my back as far as standing around the kitchen is concerned, though.

I think you have to like your legs for leggings, and I really dislike mine and try not to publicly reveal anything above the knee. My roommate, on the other hand, is a skinny one with lovely lines and I think I've only seen her wear jeans twice in two months: it's leggins and miniskirts and those godawful faux-fur eskimo boots EVERY DAY. But she's dear to me, and so her horrifying wardrobe is sort of losing its horrifying edge.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:14 (eighteen years ago)

Legginz commandments:

1. Watch the length if you have chubby calves.
2. SAY NO TO CAMEL TOE.

― jennyjennyjenny (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:15 (eighteen years ago)

I like them, they dress down posh frocks and make the short ones less arse freezing. I have a black pair. And three pairs of black footless tights. And a pair of green footless tights. Starry - I like the sound of the green smock dress look.

(It took me about 30 seconds to type that last sentence - our office is very cold and my hands are chilled.)

x-post with Lauren - I saw insanely thin Fashion-type girl going for this look. She had no bum at all, (I mean at all, it was odd-looking) and yet she STILL had a wedgie.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:15 (eighteen years ago)

Oh yes! By 3/4 length I really meant "below the calf bulge"...

xpost: argh! Lauren I have seen exactly the same "tights or leggings" phenomena - big white pants were visible, argh, argh! She looked very moscow bling otherwise.

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:15 (eighteen years ago)

but I have decided no more wearing outside my home neighborhood no matter how comfy.

I've mostly given them up outside the house b/c after wearing them nearly every day there is zero-tread. Very dangerous and slip prone. I still wear them at home as the most comfortable of chanclas and will probably buy new ones when it warms a bit.

― Ms Misery (MissMiseryTX), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:17 (eighteen years ago)

I am really quite concerned about cold ankles - obv not so much if you wear enormous furry boots, but if you wear nice flat shoes w/ a bow on etc. This is not weather where ANYTHING should be bare.

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:18 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, leggings as pants/trousers substitute is a bad idea

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:19 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, leggings as pants/trousers substitute is a bad idea

ballet flats + leggings = not a winter outfit, obv

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:24 (eighteen years ago)

Agreed! I think footless tights/legginz with flats are a purely spring thing. It's < 20 degress F when I leave the house in the morning and the only skin I expose is a little eye hole above my scarf and beneath my hat so I can see my way to the bus. And I wear glasses to that keeps the wind off.

― jennyjennyjenny (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:25 (eighteen years ago)

Are thin tights underneath leggings acceptable? Or even POP SOCKS?

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:25 (eighteen years ago)

(i feel compelled to mention that i didn't use "pear-shaped" as a put-down in my previous post. the woman actually had a great figure, it just was ill-served by overenthusiastic adoption of a fashion extreme.)

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:26 (eighteen years ago)

B-b-but, I have the legginz now! And all the New X scumb4gs are merrily exposing - well, on Friday/Sat nights they are exposing everything - at least their ankles. I wouldn't know how to wear leggins w/o leaving a gap. legwarmers? This is a bit too fashionista for me, I've only just moved on from potato sacks.

xpost: pop socks! heeeee now there's an idea...

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:28 (eighteen years ago)

I like the cut-out feet look, that is: leggins that ruche down over yr heels and under yr arches, but they have to be pretty long for that. Or you could just cut a hole in the bottom of long footed tights.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:30 (eighteen years ago)

xp - Boots! Of course, that then defeats the stylistic purposes of leggings, but my fashion choices turn almost exclusively on practicality so... pretty much ignore me unless you want advice and opinions on what to wear if you plan to walk miles daily in sub-freezing temps in an urban setting.

― jennyjennyjenny (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah - but then it goes a bit like the boots over inappropriately-skinny-jeans thing, which I am 1grillion% not all about - depends on the BOOT I suppose! I only have one pair of boots groan I am so lame. I like them though! And despite previous claims to calf musclehood - they do up fine!

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:38 (eighteen years ago)

Gosh - wot about ANKLE BOOTS - I am definitely not sure about them either.

I think I might just stay at home from now on...

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:47 (eighteen years ago)

i love ankle boots and have worn them for years BUT i rarely if ever wear them outside of the pant as current fashion dictates.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:50 (eighteen years ago)

Thank god you all hate those stirrup things, but I think they're coming back fast since Gwen Stefani has started wearing them... :-/

http://i3.tinypic.com/3ywd353.jpg

(or, if those aren't stirrups, what ARE they supposed to be? Legginz with holez for the toze?)

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:21 (eighteen years ago)

Those are surgical stockings for varicose veins.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:21 (eighteen years ago)

Never occurred to me, but yeah, I guess they are - and now she's trying to make them fashionable? Hmm.

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:27 (eighteen years ago)

Gwen Steffani is wearing a lot of things in that photo that I hope don't catch on with the general public. Stirrups/toeless tights/orthopedic stockings are likely the least alarming thing about that getup.

― jennyjennyjenny (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:27 (eighteen years ago)

i agree. she unfortunately has her own line of clothing, but hopefully the high prices will limit the damage. then again, she's always trotted out as a fashion icon and inspiration so...

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:34 (eighteen years ago)

Her clothing line is called Harakiri, I believe.

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:37 (eighteen years ago)

I thought she was all about the Yummy Mummy clothing range now... baby stirrups more acceptable!

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:40 (eighteen years ago)

Or you could just cut a hole in the bottom of long footed tights.
You have to be really careful cutting up tights becuase they have no ... what do you call it? ... the elasticy bit around the bottom on the legs. So they ride up as you walk, leaving you not just with footless tights, but with calve-less tights. It's cold, uncomfotable and leaves fuzzy winter calves on show = not good.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:52 (eighteen years ago)

Aha! Here we have the difference between cutting off the whole bottom of the tight so it rides up, and cutting a length-wise slit into the bottom of footed rights so you can peel them up off your toes much like Gwen Stefani's up there, but have the extra length ruched up around your arches. I know you can actually BUY ballet/dance tights with this feature, but we always just cut them ourselves.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

There was an advert on yahoo for men's leggings. I would not wear leggings.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

Neither would I. Not with a dress like Stefani's, certainly.

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 18:14 (eighteen years ago)

If I were to wear that dress it would be bare legs or nothing.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 18:34 (eighteen years ago)

SEE THAT, GWEN? Even MEN know better. Not only that, even the men who only got here after someone mentioned baby stirrups know better.

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 19:16 (eighteen years ago)

oh no no no. gwen isnt wearing stirrups there. these are leggings with stirrups:

― molly mummenschanz (mollyd), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 20:58 (eighteen years ago)

Dudududududududud re stirrup pants. Horrid. No redeeming features, not even a glimpse of any curve of leg or ankle. In fact they seem designed to obscure ANY curved surface and re-classify it as simply "thick". They'd give Katharine Hepburn cankles.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:01 (eighteen years ago)

fashion pants!

I wholeheartedly believe that stirrup pants were up there on the list of fashion crimes.

― molly mummenschanz (mollyd), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:04 (eighteen years ago)

Stirrup pants are a blight in the fashion world. Bringing them back and trying to sell them to men sends me into a blind rage on uncontrollable size.

― molly mummenschanz (mollyd), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:05 (eighteen years ago)

They do absolutely nothing for the leg.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:07 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think anyone should wear ANYTHING Gwen Stafani wears - her clothes are atrocious. I mean, check out the picture - what the FUCK happened to Alice?

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:07 (eighteen years ago)

Outlaw them. Except for, I dunno, kayaking. It would really suck to have your feet stuck all the way down there and yr cuffs riding up, I guess. Maybe parachuting? Things like that, stirrups make some sense.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:08 (eighteen years ago)

Laurel, good point. My youth in Buffalo reminds me that I wore stirrup pants when cross-country skiing, and when wearing snowpants.

However, if they make a resurgence in the fashion world, well, I will lose faith in all humanity. They're terrible. 100% WRONG.

― molly mummenschanz (mollyd), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:11 (eighteen years ago)

Stirrups are a godsend for rowing in in February, but I've not done that since I was 15.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:13 (eighteen years ago)

I wore leggings in high school so haven't been desirous to return to that place, though I've nothing against them really, I just don't feel they are for me personally.

I'm confused about the legging/wedge phenom: do not thongs always give one a wedge--or is just that the leggings make this process visible?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 25 January 2007 01:55 (eighteen years ago)

My landscaping uniform is baggy leggings cut off to mid-thigh, with a baggy tank top. It's an outfit that is received well by my husband, especially when the whole thing is filthy and redolent of deer-repellent.

Her clothing line is called Harakiri, I believe.

Apparently her new bags are extremely popular and I must admit that even I like'em even though I really dislike her own clothing style. She's cute but that pic you posted above is just fugly to the maxx.

Leggingz? Look great on others but alas I haven't dropped enough weight so my legs look more like frigging cow legs :-( and my hips are just too wide to warrant such a cute thing as leggingz. I quite like leggings on others - esp 15 yr olds - but not on me. I am, *cough cough oh how I hate to say this* just too old for'em.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 25 January 2007 14:07 (eighteen years ago)

I hear you, Nath. As I was walking out of work yesterday, I passed a couple girls who were rocking the ballet shoes, legginz look. I couldn't pull it off. I'd feel like I was 16. Also, I'm tall, and I'd feel somehow oddly proportioned.

― molly mummenschanz (mollyd), Thursday, 25 January 2007 14:13 (eighteen years ago)

Her clothing line is L.A.M.B. but she has a secondary one called Harajuku Lovers named after the part of Tokyo where you can find Takeshita-dori street, the young urban fashion Mecca of Japan. I used to walk down that street almost every day on my way to my agency when I lived in Tokyo. It's a particularly annoying and stupidly pretentious name for her to appropriate.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 25 January 2007 15:50 (eighteen years ago)

haha M.White, no need to explain. I quite like Harajuku. Whenever I'm in Japan - next week I'll be there again - I like to be there for half an hour and then run away. :-) I do like her baby shoes. Those are Supah Cute. I do think she copped the entire thing from Super Lovers.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 25 January 2007 16:40 (eighteen years ago)

Leggings under short dresses with ballet pumps are cute.

Leggings with high heels = vomitotious.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Thursday, 25 January 2007 17:08 (eighteen years ago)

She's got lovely legs and I would have adored to see them in fishnets but when they stop 6 inches above the ankle, not, frankly, so much.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 25 January 2007 17:17 (eighteen years ago)

Fishnet leggints sound intriguing. I'm still rocking my Lover's House parka, purchased at the London Super Lover's store. It is quite handy on cold days.

Leggins and ballet flats would be a welcome reprieve on the two campuses on which I toil. It's more like leggings and Uggs redux. Yuck yuck yuck.
