Leggings: A Fashion Trend Gone from Bad to Worse

Leggings: A Fashion Trend Gone from Bad to Worse

Every fall I hope for two things: the death of the Ugg boot and for girls to realize leggings really don’t look good on more than a fraction of a percent of those who wear them.


Well, one wish I believe has been granted: class has been in session for weeks now and so far I’ve only spotted one pair of Uggs. Praise jesus.


However I’ve noticed a trend even more disturbing than the original cellulite-hugging cotton pants of doom: now they’re made in shiny versions.


Who thought this was a good idea? Not only will the rolls and cellulite on the thigh be accented by the light of the sun glancing off of them (you’re welcome for the mental imagery), they’ve got to make an awful scraping noise as the legs of these girls rub together as they walk (you’re welcome for that noise in your head now, too). Anything that “shines” cannot be as quiet as cotton.


So while I sit back and shake my head at the fact that none of these girls seem to own mirrors, I guess all I can do is hope Ugg boots don’t make a comeback because I can see now what that would be like.


Ugg: sequined edition. Shudder.

my friend and i were just talking about when ugg's would go away... they are still EVERYWHERE at berkeley. i think every 10th girl on campus was wearing them. i guess it will take longer for the death of uggs to reach the west :( Posted 09/19/2008 04:29 AMReply

uggs will never leave the west coast if you are a surfer. they really serve a function when you get out of the water and your feet are cold.
i wish they were made out of animal friendly materials though.

just because some people insist upon wearing boring clothes from american eagle, doesn't mean we all have to. shiny leggings are bold and beautiful. you probably just don't have the thighs to wear them. Posted 09/19/2008 5:34 PMReply

black shiny leggings can look fashionable and are very sexy if you know how to wear them... but it's true that not everyone looks good on them Posted 05/10/2009 02:39 AMReply
