KLLund Posted August 29, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I know there are a lot of you that don't like this style ... and hoped it would never come back ... but for me and my body nothing is more comfy in the fall/winter than leggings and tunic tops!!!!!!! So I was thrilled today to see that Nieman Marcus named it among the top ten looks for fall .. of course that sent me searching and low and behold it is everywhere on the fashion pages. Color me happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RI-Sailor Posted August 29, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Yea! I may dance along with you - but only if the leggings are long enough and don't ride up!!!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlysister Posted August 29, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2006 And the tunics are long enough. Nothing worse than tight leggings and short top....especially on us figure challenged persons. But they are so comfy, I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingpirate Posted August 29, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Doesn't it figure, I've been dressing like that for years....now I've lost 40 lbs., put away the tunic tops, now they're back in fashion...can't win. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la_croisiere_s'amuse Posted August 29, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I was thrilled today to see that Nieman Marcus named it among the top ten looks for fall .. Color me happy :) Amen sista!! I'm 5"9 and all legs. It creates a great look for my frame. Besides, there is NOTHING more comfortable for around-the-house wear, if you ask me. I still have a pair left over from 1992, and they're my favorite housecleaning duds. My condolences to those who are groaning and rolling their eyes at this turn of events. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperatehousewife Posted August 29, 2006 #7 Share Posted August 29, 2006 My condolences to those who are groaning and rolling their eyes at this turn of events. :p LOL... that would BE ME!!! I used to LOVE this style, easy, comfortable.... ahhh yes.....the late 80's early 90's... you rock. BUT that was before I grew hips and boobies!!! NOW, that hugs all of the wrong places and emphasizes the rest!!:eek: I think I am going to pass on this trend.... I accentuate my waist... I do not under any circumstances try to draw atention to my short legs! If I put them in sausage casings and pair that with a sack, they might try and sell me at the supermarket.... NO THANK YOu! To those that will be pulling this style off sucessfully...my hats are off! May you live comfortably!!;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the leggings, lace jeans, large tunic thing going on...not a pretty sight on this mama of 2 in her 30's. No...I think I will pass on this 'comfy' look for this season. To all of you who love this style... have a great time with it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinmimi Posted August 29, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I never wore leggings when they were "in" in the 80's. My body-type is not made for those :eek: Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueHerons Posted August 29, 2006 #14 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Agree!They're perfect for around-the-house chores and housecleaning! I'm in great shape right now with my training but I think I'll leave the leggings to sloppy inside my house wear. Besides, they are so close to most of my work out wear I'd just feel like I was headed to the gym! One super trendy item is enough for me right now and I'm just in love with my skinny jeans!

Gingee Posted August 29, 2006 #15 Share Posted August 29, 2006 No way again. You have to have the right legs for them. Usually skinny ones. Mine are what some people call shapely. I call them fat. I don't do well in capris either. I am just short and they don't like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted August 29, 2006 #16 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'm in great shape right now with my training but I think I'll leave the leggings to sloppy inside my house wear. exactly my point! :) One super trendy item is enough for me right now and I'm just in love with my skinny jeans! Great! Has it been cool enough to wear them yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RI-Sailor Posted August 29, 2006 #17 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'm actually rethinking the legging thing.:rolleyes: Stirrups actually hid my not-so-shapely ankles. Moving leggings to my "maybe" list.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
