Leggings are great for working out, lounging around, throwing on, or for pairing with an outfit that was a once cute dress but is now too short. The greatness of leggings, is not what I’m debating here. It’s what’s spawning from these tight favorites that has me worried. Mainly, what are these faux leather, almost plastic looking leggings that are popping up everywhere? I can’t decide if I love them or hate them. They’re definitely funky and a good trend for those completely bored of jeans (ahem, moi). American Apparel has gone so far as to make high-waisted and faux denim leggings. So time to weigh in ladies. Will you be shimmying into these tight creations? Love it or leave it?

I love them, but I think the best way to wear them is with a tunic because homegirl’s booty is not looking cute in the photo.

I like them on this girl, but you kind of have to be a waif to look good in ‘em. I fear seeing them on all sorts of body types--when will people learn to dress in what makes them look good, rather than adhere blindly to trends?
So yea, although I AM tempted, you won’t see these on me.

I can’t wait to see if this trend makes its way to fashion malls in Mexico or Venezuela.

Love them...but I also agree with Pepper, there should be a weight limit sewn right onto the label!

BARF. Hate them. I will be pointing and snickering at anyone I see wearing these who is not a) on stage as a member of an indie rock band, or b) at some sort of hipper-than-thou late-night warehouse party in the bowels of Bushwick. And even then, I might giggle a bit on the inside.

Love them but only for certain body types and weight, especially if worn with the right boots.
Lets hope this doesn’t become the new “belly shirt”. Belly shirts should not be worn if you have 10+lbs hanging over your waistline.
Yikes!
