As with all trends, the fashion tides change and we’re forced to re-think those outfits that were so frequently featured in our wardrobe rotation. (I think Jessica and Susannah have proven that…) The latest trend to hit the fashion graveyard are those ubiquitous leggings, which quickly became a fan favorite despite original hesitation, given their throwback to the ’80s. Everyone fell in love, Lindsay Lohan made a little spending money off the trend, jeans were translated into legging form, and the question, “Are they pants..?” was asked more than we can count. Though leggings have stuck around for a few seasons, it seems that with fall’s heavy influence of long skirts and pants, there’s just no need for the leggings we’ve come to love. In an effort to diversify your bottom choices, we suggest going the suspender tights route, or even picking up a pair of those awesomely bad spandex shorts with a bit of lace. And say a tearful goodbye to your favorite leggings. [Guardian U.K.]
