Tights/Leggings With Skirts

[Delphi373]

I love this look...the key, as with most things fashion-related is to make it work with the outfit...and with your body...opaque tights are great with a sleek boot, and the proper skirt...however any tight with a sheen to it will make your legs look bigger...so generally avoid this...plus personally I don't like a sheen on a tight...but I think patterend tights are very cool too...and if done with the right shoe can look very cool. But again you have to try it and see how it looks on you...also if you're playing up the look of a patterend tight don't go crazy with a wild outfit...make the tights the centerpiece so to speak.

It amuses me that this is so trendy! The only time I ever wore tights with a skirt (denim or otherwise) is going to/coming from dance class...I never did it to be stylish, my ass was just too lazy to take them off so I'd just roll up the tights and wear a skirt that I could slip on and off....after a while I started noticing "non-dancers" wearing them like it was THE shit and it just made me a chuckle a little

Oh well, to each her own I guess??

 

[Shimmer]

no way, I was a kid when they first came out. Never again.

 

[Chelly]

i love this bc i can sit spread eagle while wearing a skirt


jokes jokes

hehe some ppl huh?

i used to run track, fairly seriously, & i always had a skirt in my car to throw on over my tights when i was being lazy & didn't feel like changing, but didn't wanna run around town doing errands in my tights

i've worn wool tights w/ skirts & boots before, but that was on the east coast & the tights were called for....but i love how gofugyourself mocks the tights

i've still got my t-shirt tie things and slap bracelts so Meghan all you need is some socks to layer

bwahahah I used to wear leggings as a kid in the 80's with an oversized t-shirt & a big belt. I looked like peter pan. But I agree that opaque tights are cool.

i agree. i think it's something that probably should have been left in the 1980s. i like how it was back then, but now people are wearing like rainbow leggins with these elaborate denim skirts...i liked in the 80s when people rolled in like hot pink leggins and a simply a-line skirt. that was cute. people overdo it now, i've noticed with the girls at my school, they overdue it under the guise of being "unique" or "indie"...that's no bueno.

I was just mentioning to my friends that this look is becoming played out, I prefer leggings with long shirts more.

 

[Naffy]

Doesn't it look weird, with those like leggings that go right below the knee with just long shirts though?

 

[hyperRealGurl]

well i love the Skirt leggings look.... Not that i have a great sense of style anyhow

There is a time and place for every look... "Not on long skirts though" thats just a lil weird.....

I think footless tights can look great if someone has the style to pull it off. For example I think my friend looks fabulous in this outfit....whereas if I wore it I'd look like a prize fool

totally agree

i think the denim mini and leggings/tights was out before it came in lol all i see now is bunches of 12 year olds wearin it
i think they can look good with dresses ^ like above and similar

I like it on young women...I did that trend in the 80's (down to the booties) and I don't think I'll be going there again. Definitely stick to inexpensive stores like Target or Forever 21..
