Leggings Are Back!
With the same gusto as the 80's, leggings and footless tights are everywhere and available in different styles, fabrics, lengths and patterns. You can wear leggings whatever your age; it simply depends on your style. If you have a more classic look, then you could easily look like you are dressing down, but for those style types that love a bit of glam, fun or frivolity, then leggings are for you. They can be worn with a short tunic dress, tunic top, wrap dress or bulky knit. Urban Outfitters (urbanoutfitters.com) have a great selection. Here are some style examples to help you find the legging for you:
