And I don't mean for your kiddos, I mean for yourself.  Tell us why or why not!

No here.  My college students would roll their eyes at me for sure.

I can't even vote in my own poll, lol!  I swear, everyone all over the NYC is wearing them - with boots, sneakers, long sweaters, etc.  And I loved wearing them as a teen - LOVED!  But that's the problem - I am not sure if I can purchase an item of clothing on take 2, kwim?  I was around for the original 80's legging craze!  I am too old to be buying them now - but I really want to, lmao!

Just want to add that the 30 and over City crowd is wearing them, too. But that's my fear, being eye-rolled by college kids.

No, because I already have a pair (from Joe's 80s party) and because they make me look like a beached whale. Or, I should say, they showcase my fatness even more.

I'd love to be able to rock them all foxy, like some of the less frightening people on Torrid's website, but alas, I cannot.

i do think the look is cute, but like tracy said, i dont have the right tops for them, and i'm not about to purchase tons of stuff so my leggings look right.

I love wearing leggings. It's all I will wear if I can find them. I don't care if I look stupid or fat, I care more about comfort.

love wearing them.  i bought some last winter, and i might buy another pair this winter.  that is all they wore here last season.  it is not just for young people.  everyone was wearing them.  i already see them this season again.  i just think they are so comfortable.  they are like wearing sweat pants but it looks nicer smile

Just not sure I can bring myself to buy a pair, plus I don't have any tops. I saw a pair of stirrup leggings and Walmart the other day and totally LOL!

I already own a couple of pairs. I like to wear them under skirts and dresses--when it's really cold they replace my tights and I wear with boots. When it's mild like now, I wear them with ballet flats or sneakers.

But I don't wear them with a longish shirt or sweater because I don't like my legs that much. I need full coverage!

Yes, love to wear them with uggs in winter and I do need to get more tops for them...  I like to wear leggings with casual clothes.  With my leather boots I usually wear skinny jeans or dresses.

ya know alyssa, i was thinknig about this before, and i'd totally wear them under a dress or skirt in the winter with uggs.  i'd consider that more of a "footless tights" look, but i should revise my vote, i'd definitely wear them under a skirt.

the tunic thing isnt my look though. i'm shorrrrrrrrrrt.

oh totally, i've even been known to sport thermal long-underwear leggings under a skirt when i worked in manhattan!!  (of course, i'm in academia, so fashion was never a consideration!)
