Totally a Lemming for Leggings

Comfort before fashion? NEVER.
We have all suffered for fashion at some point.  Whether it be some blistering high heels or a pair of the tightest jeans you own, sometimes it does in fact hurt to look that good.

A  few years ago however leggings made their way back into the fashions front lines.  Out of no where suddenly girls were pairing them under their mini skirts.
Then before you knew it the skirts were gone and ladies just rocked them and a shirt.  And how can we forget when Lindsey Lohan wore leggings everyday for two years straight?

 Lohan and Ronson.  Such a simpler time...

So its been about 6 years since leggings began making it "ok" to wear tights as pants.  That is quite a long time for a trend to be around.

Why the longevity?  Comfort and variations.

Leggings are like wearing PJs in public.  They are cozy as hell (well most..)  Now even though they have been around for a bit, the trend has shifted.

Check out my leggings in time line to see their changes through the years:

 

So it is 2011 and we are getting funky with our leg wear.  Time for some print and texture.  I hope as the years go on the gods of fashion keep leggings around, because if I can't parade around in comfy pants that actually look sexy, I won't know what to do.
